Does anybody has any tips or a solution to solve the error ?

Best regards

Hi Alexander,

On the one hand, you have configured the iView in a way that it tries to refer to a system (for example by referring to Mapped User / Mapped Password). On the other hand, you have not entered a system in the URL iView config. Therefore, when trying to determine the user credentials for the system - where system is not set and therefore "null", you run into this NPE.

Also see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/4a/0158d3cc8045d9814946316e8a8a31/frameset.htm and around.

Hope it helps

Hello,

problem solved.

by resave the URL-iView, it works.

I guess by a corrupt database entry and than refreshing by saving the config, the corrput entry was overwritten and than

it works.

Best regards
