Hi community,

I installed PDI 8.2 on a virtual machine (Windows Server 2016). When I try to connect a "CSV file input" operator with a "select value" operator by dragging a connection using the middle mouse button, I get this NullPointerException:

errordetails

(Same is true for many other operators.)

However, when I click on (activate) the "CSV file input" operator, and double click on the "Select values" operator from the "Design" tab, it connects just fine. Also, transformations work well, it's just the "connecting via middle mouse button" step that's giving me a hard time.

 

Would somebody know how to fix that?

And: Highlighting two steps, then right-clicking and selecting "New Hop" also works fine.

I am using PDI 8.2 on windows 10, It is working fine for me.

Thanks Ravikumar. Yes, on my Win10 Laptop it works just fine. The problem only exists on my Azure Virtual Machine (Windows Server 2016).

Thanks a lot,

Gert
