Pega Platform 8.8.3 - Encrypting system data by using a custom key management service
- I’ve created a GetCustomMccmMasterKey activity under Data-Admin-Security-Keystore class.
I am getting “Failed to add keystore to cache error” message after executing activity. Is there any way to successfully add keystore to cache and get this issue resolved?
I’ve also created a data page described in second step of the document in link below. However, we should resolve the activity error issue first to move further steps.

Other Encryption Approach We Tried After Failing Encrypting system data by using a custom key management service
- We have used methods (tools.getPRCrypto().encrypt(dataContent) and tools.getPRCrypto().decrypt(dataContent)) from the engine api in order to find different way to achieve encrypt and decrypt on pega platform. However, it is working like one way encryption so we could not achieve decryption with this approach.
Whenever we call tools.getPRCrypto().decrypt(dataContent) function, we are expeting to see “Mert” value but it is showing the encrypted text.

@m.caldag On your first case, I Hope you seeing the issue when trying to run the activity using the Action-> Run button , Have you tried completely configuring the keystore settings and check if the property got encrypted Thank you ! Manojkumar

@Manojkumar_ J Yes, I have tried but did not mention them before finding a solution for the issue I faced initially.
When I try to generate a keystore, some validation causing fails.
When I check the log for more information, I have seen the log below.
java.lang.NullPointerException

@m.caldag INC-B26954 was a ticket that simply referred back to this forum question, which is a 'How to' question.
Our support team therefore closed it, requesting that guidance regarding encrypying app data by using a custom key management service is something someone here on the forum should be able to help you with.
I provided possible reasons for the NullPointer in my earlier response.

@MarijeSchillern No, It is not a how to question. It is a support request in order to have some solution on an issue occured while configuring rules in the light of documentation below.

@m.caldag did you log a support ticket for your "java.lang.NullPointerException "?
Please can you provide the final solution to this question?
The "java.lang.NullPointerException" error typically occurs when you're trying to use a reference that points to no location in memory (null) as though it were referencing an object. In the context of generating a keystore for system data encryption using a custom key management service, this could mean that there might be an issue with the configuration of your custom key management service, the data page, or the activity that accesses the custom KMS. Please ensure that:
- The activity that accesses the custom KMS is correctly configured and able to retrieve the master key.
- The data page is correctly set up to load the activity and pass the necessary parameters.
- The keystore is correctly configured to load from the data page.
If the issue persists, it would be helpful to review the full stack trace of the error in the log file to identify the exact line of code causing the issue.
