Hi,
I just started using Visual Composer 7.3, after having (years ago) built several models on VC 7.0. I migrated a model, fixed all the "red" messages and ignored the warnings (which all appeared benign) from the migration report, and tried to deploy it. Deployment fails and I get a message "Exception on server while running the build process". But no messages in the console area. Looking at the Help, it appears that the troubleshooting choices are limited to looking at the console messages (there are none) or looking at log files on the server. I had a Basis person send me the log file from the server and it's not very informative to me. Lots of stuff like
java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method java.lang.String.equalsIgnoreCase(java.lang.String) of an object loaded from local variable 'oclass'

... yada yada yada ....
... and so forth ...
Ok I get that it might have something to do with a mixed case it doesn't like in a string value somewhere (probably only a couple hundred or so of those to check, ha ha) ... or not.
Other than selectively deleting stuff from the model and trying to deploy again, until it works, any ideas what else I can do to resolve this? Is this really the only kind of troubleshooting available on Visual Composer 7.3? (I couldn't find any "check" or "inspect" functions. I couldn't even find how to display the migration report again ... never could get it to open in the browser ... screen printed every bit of it .... I think ...)
Note, I am using VC in the browser only at this time.
Thanks for any assistance / advice / sympathy you can give!
