Missing write access to proparse temp directory when generating BusinessEntity

If proparse does not have write access to prorefactor\temp in the Business Entity Designer’s temp-directory, an AccessDeniedException with the message “Missing write permissions for prorefactor/Temp directory!” is thrown. In older versions (before 2021-07-05) this was a NullPointerException instead.

An application error has occured (Consultingwerk.Studio.Proparse.ProparseException)

If you are working with an older version of Proparse (before 4.1.0.1222 from July 05 2021) you would get a java.lang.NullPointerException instead.

In that case please update your Proparse to the current version to get the correct error-message.

Solution

Find the directory used as temp-directory by the Business Entity Designer from its session info ( in the upper left corner). The temp-directory is set in the startup parameter -T. 

In that directory find the prorefactor/temp sub-directory.

Right-click it -> Properties -> Security

Ensure that you (Authenticated users) have read and write access (checkmarks at Allow, nothing at Deny).
