Defect HC-8906

Software

Observed behavior

When promotions are loaded via API, then externally activated via API, a Null Pointer exception is raised and the promotion is not activated. This does not happen when using Management Center to activate the promotion.

Expected behavior

The promotion should successfully activate using either approach: Management Center or directly via API and there should be no exceptions in the logs.

Resolution

The componentid was not being set correctly when activation was being performed from external API calls, which led to the Null Pointer exception. The logic was updated to set the componentid directly in the query for the promotion and promotion description, avoiding the raising of the Null Pointer exception.
