The ConfigurationMonitor throws a Null Pointer Exception

Current Situation

When using the configuration Monitor sos.scheduler.managed.configuration.ConfigurationOrderMonitor a null pointer exception is thrown. In the log the message error occurred in spooler_process_before: ConfigurationBaseMonitor: Monitor: error occurred preparing configuration: null (null) can be seen.

Desired Behaviour

The configuration Monitor should not throw a null pointer exception

Workaround

Use the new Implementation of the Configuration Monitor
com.sos.jitl.jobchainnodeparameter.monitor.JobchainNodeSubstituteMonitor It is full compatible with the old one, works much faster and does not throw a null pointer exception.

The differences between the both implementations are described here

<job>
    <script  language="shell">
        <![CDATA[
echo hello world
exit 0
        ]]>
    </script>

    <monitor  name="configuration_monitor" ordering="0">
        <script  java_class="com.sos.jitl.jobchainnodeparameter.monitor.JobchainNodeSubstituteMonitor" language="java"/>
    </monitor>

    <run_time />
</job>
