Java.Lang.nullpointerexception issue only isolated to a repository on the job server

Question

I am having the
"Java.Lang.nullpointerexception" error message issue only isolated to a repository on the job server.
This error message appearing when i try to execute or create a new schedule for a job on mgmt console.
I have few other repositories in the same server, with those repositories i am not having any issues, in terms of executing a job or creating a new schedule.
Does any one had the similar issue, and know how to resolve it.
Thanks a lot for the helpful info.

Hello George / Viacheslav, thks to both for responding.
BODS is based on 4.0 never was migrated from 3.2
Under this repository almost 30 jobs currently running with no issues, which were created and scheduled before this error started.
THis error message started just two months ago, since then it is not allowing any new jobs to be executed or creating any new schedules.
But all prior jobs are running fine no issues.
FRom designer i am able to execute with no problem, This issue is only happening on Mgmt console and only in this repository.
Repository name has no apostrophe, all repsositories have the same style naming convention.
"BODS_THENAME"
Here i am pasting the block from viewsoure, where the error is:
