    Hi ,

    As you are telling that it is occuring for certain set of data so it is better to do profiling of this scenario and debug the plugin code and check each and every line execution outcome for different set of data.

    For profiler information,pls follwo the below link:

    Hope this helps

    Regards,

    Hi Mahesh ,

    Is it possible to share plugin code ,

    Following are the possible root cause -

    - Not having proper null check while getting attributes value in the plugin code, make sure you are checking each attributes with contains. check here for sample code -shaikhd365.blogspot.com/.../how-to-get-all-types-fields-values-of.html

    - Secondly when you are calling the SDK method make sure are passing not null  values in the object to do the operations.

    - Are you trying to create Organization service proxy , if yes check here  -nishantrana.me/.../

    In addition as suggested above try to write some trace log  and enable tracing to identify which lines is failing and try to drill down the issue.

    Hi Mahesh,

    These issue is might be because you don't check for null value for the attributes(fields) in your plugin . That why its only happen for that data which contain null value . For resolving these issue make sure you can provide condition for null values. Provide you a link where you can see how to do through condition for all data type
