2451442 - Java Scheduler job to initiate BPM process instances failing without apparent reason

You've developed a project at NWDS/Eclipse to allow starting BPM process instances in a scheduled job.

The job is then scheduled by using the NetWeaver Java Scheduler. 

When the job is executed, it fails without any apparent reason. While collecting the traces (SAP Note 1332726), only the following exception appears:

Unexpected exception occurred during Job.onJob() execution:
, Job ->
