Run Data Managment as an admin?

Hi fizzledrizzle ,  While permissions might be causing the issue, its not what the error is telling us.  The error means that a variable is being assigned a null value, or a variable is being referenced while null (nothing assigned to it).

Its likely trying to assign something that an admin can read (in the code), and a user cannot, like access to a file

Since there is no debugger, we have to write things to the error log until we find the thing causing the error.  I'd look  in the business rule and the args being passed in by the button for things like code that brings in a member, like an entity where security may prevent a user from being able to see the entity while an admin can.

Permissions on DM jobs are typically related to the security groups assigned to Scenarios, check them out - there is one property specific to DM...

Beyond that, I'd second what RobbSalzmann says - identify the actual line that fails, by logging messages, e.g.:

' ... doing something, then
[...]
Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Step 1 done")
' ... doing something more...
[...]
Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Step 2 done")
' .... and again ...
[...]
Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Step 3 done")

If you then tell us the actual line, we might be able to say more about what the actual problem is.

The error you're getting is saying one of the parameters is null (Nothing) in the call to the XFFile constructor:

Dim targetFileData As New XFFile(targetFileDataInfo, String.Empty, sourceXFFileEx.XFFile.ContentFileBytes)

My guess is the user doesn't have access to File Share\Applications\... and the sourceXFFileEx object is null.

Add this  log entry (line 4) and see what happens for the admin and for the user:

Dim sourceXFFileEx As New XFFileEx    
sourceXFFileEx = BRApi.FileSystem.GetFile(si, FileSystemLocation.FileShare, $"Applications\{appNameOrig}\Batch\Harvest\{sourceFile}",True,True)
Dim isFileNull As Boolean = (sourceXFFileEx Is Nothing)
BRApi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, $"sourceXFFileEx isFileNull: {isFileNull}")

Thanks RobbSalzmann. I added the line and here are the results:

User: sourceXFFileEx isFileNull: True

Admin: sourceXFFileEx isFileNull: False

The "Get File: " & sourceFile" does result in the file name for both users and admins.

Nice work!  This shows us that sourceXFFileEx is null when the user runs the code.
Have the user check to see if they can view the files in the system file explorer tab:

Thank you RobbSalzmann! this worked well.

Howdy! Thank you for your help with the ErrorLog JackLacava. Below a code snippet from the BR that is erroring when a user runs it, but does not error when an "Administrator" runs it:

Dim appNameOrig As String = si.AppName
Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Declare App Name")

Dim appDir As String = BRApi.FileSystem.GetFileShareFolder(si, FileShareFolderTypes.ApplicationRoot, api)
Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Declare App Directory for ApplicationRoot")

Dim sourceDir As String = BRApi.FileSystem.GetFileShareFolder(si, FileShareFolderTypes.BatchHarvest, api) & "\"
Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Declare App Directory for BatchHarvest")

Dim files As String() = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir) 
Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Declare list of files from Source Directory")

For Each FileName In files    

	Dim sourceFile As String = Path.GetFileName(FileName)
	Dim targetFile As String = sourceFile
	Dim targetDir As String = "Documents/Public/TXM_SFTP"
	If sourceFile.StartsWith("TXM_") And sourceFile.contains(".csv") Then
		'Get the file
		Dim sourceXFFileEx As New XFFileEx    
		sourceXFFileEx = BRApi.FileSystem.GetFile(si, FileSystemLocation.FileShare, $"Applications\{appNameOrig}\Batch\Harvest\{sourceFile}",True,True)
		Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Get File: " & sourceFile)
		'Save the file                
		Dim targetFileDataInfo As New XFFileInfo(FileSystemLocation.ApplicationDatabase, targetFile, targetDir)
			Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Save File: Line 106")
		Dim targetFileData As New XFFile(targetFileDataInfo, String.Empty, sourceXFFileEx.XFFile.ContentFileBytes)
			Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Save File: Line 108")
		BRApi.FileSystem.InsertOrUpdateFile(si, targetFileData)
			Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Save File: Line 110")
		BRApi.FileSystem.DeleteFile(si,FileSystemLocation.FileShare, $"Applications\{appNameOrig}\Batch\Harvest\{sourceFile}")
			Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Save File: Line 112")
		Brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, "Save File: " & sourceFile)
	End If
Next    

Dim targetFileData As New XFFile(targetFileDataInfo, String.Empty, sourceXFFileEx.XFFile.ContentFileBytes)

let me know if you spot anything or suggestions on next steps.

Howdy,

I have verified that they do not have access to this folder. How are permissions to the "File Share" folders managed? I can grant permissions to the "Application Database" folders, but not the "File Share" folders.
