Error: Metadata for page xxxx do not contain a control definition for control ID xxxx

Posted on by AntonioTorre 566

After upgrading to form NAV2016 first release to CU09 I have been getting this error with some users when hitting some actions in some pages.

I have reset all their customization, I have re-compiled objects, delete zup files... and I have solved the problem with all of them... but one!

The problem is kind of tricky  since it happens sometimes (executing different actions) but, if the user tries like 5 minutes later it works fine which is absolutely weird.

Of course, other users executing same action in same page don't get this error... just this man...

Any suggestions?

    Hi Tharanga

    I'm not Erik :-), but anyway I just wanted to tell that it is a platform hotfix.  You don't need to upgrade your application to fix this issue.

    Hi Erik,

    Just want to check with you on this, was this an application fix or platform hotfix?

    Hi Gert,

    yes, I also get errors with negative control IDs. For me it's happening for a single PROFILE only at the moment. Users with this single profile get the error. If it keeps occuring I will check out CU9.

    Thanks for the details

    Regards

    Hi Matthias

    Are you also getting errors with negative control IDs? If so, I'm quite sure it is the same error.

    I have not seen any KB article on this error and I know it is not on the fixlist, but our customers have not seen the error since installing the CU9 platform. Not even once. So I'm quite sure it helps.

    I've also tried googling the error, but I only find this forum post and my own blog entry about it: blog.systemconnect.dk (be warned - it is in Danish :-) )

    Hi Gert,

    do you have a Knowlegde Base ID for this issue? I was not able to find this issue in the list of hotfixes in CU9....

    I might have the same issue with a customer and would like to check the KB article to see if it's really the same issue....

    Thanks

    Regards

    Hi Astur,

    According to this page (in Danish), then this sporadic error was fixed with NAV 2016 CU09.

    I know you write that you've already tried with CU9, but I doubt that. Because CU9 was released July 5th, and you wrote this question on July 1st. So unless you have access to the cumulative updates, before they are released, then it have to have been an older CU.

    So try CU9.

    (PS: Didn't see it had already been answered, now I cannot delete this post!)

    Hi again Astur.

    To my knowledge there is no workaround (other than recompiling the page in question - and it will only last for a while).

    The good news is that in a couple of days 2016 CU9 will be released on the NAV Team Blog (blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/nav ) and that is probably the only existing permanent solution.

    At least it is according to the Microsoft NAV Escalation Engineer I have been in touch with since I saw the bug the first time in CU7 on the 25th of May.

    The bug was "improved" with CU8 - it got more rare at some of our installations.

    But Microsoft, I and at least one other partner has been testing a solution (internal server tier build) since around 16th of June, and to my knowledge the bug is fixed.

    Yesterday I received a pre-release of the coming CU9, and I've put it into production on a few customers systems yesterday and today, and they have not complained about this error since.

    I also tend to think that it is rather external than internal NAV problem. If you use Windows authentication, I'm pretty sure that the issue will disappear if you will re-create the user in AD and then in NAV.

    Yes, I already reinstalled that client.

    Very important what you say about recompling using admin user... It really matters!

    About user metadata, you mean Delete User Personalization (9191) ?
