CauseThis is failing because of NullPointerException error when trying to create a user object. If the rule remediator was deleted then a null pointer was generated because the search for the user filter did not include deleted users.
ResolutionThis bug is fixed in 7.0.2 P04. Deploy the patch to correct the issue.
