Error Creating Custom Profile from with AL business central

Posted on by El Mehdi Taher

Hello everyone,

I’m working on Business Central v27 (cloud), and I’m trying to create a custom profile programmatically from the existing ‘RAPIDSTART SERVICES’ profile using an Install Codeunit.

Here’s the code I’m using:

When I run this, I get the following error:

The profile with the ID 'IFTAM' and AppId '{xxxx-xxx-xx-xxx}' cannot be created, because the specified AppId is different from the empty GUID.

And another question is profile.Copy(profileRapidStart); gonna do the same as the button "copy profile.." :

Error Creating Custom Profile from with AL business central

Hi,

You’re getting that error because you’re inserting a new record with the same non-empty AppId as the source profile (“RAPIDSTART SERVICES” comes from the Base App).

Business Central won’t let your extension create a profile that is “owned” by another app. Profiles you create at runtime must be tenant customizations → i.e., the App ID must be empty (all zeros) and “Published As” must be Tenant Customization.

Read from All Profile, insert into Profile and clear the app fields

codeunit 90902 "IFTAM Install"
{
trigger OnRun()
begin
CreateProfile();
end;

procedure CreateProfile()
var
SrcAllProfile: record "All Profile";
NewProfile: record Profile;
begin
if SrcAllProfile.Get('RAPIDSTART SERVICES') then begin
NewProfile.Init();
// copy the bits you want from the source
NewProfile.Validate("Profile ID", 'IFTAM2');
NewProfile.Validate(Description, 'Profile for IFTAM Integration');
NewProfile.Validate("Role Center ID", SrcAllProfile."Role Center ID");
NewProfile."Disable Personalization" := SrcAllProfile."Disable Personalization";

// VERY IMPORTANT: make it a tenant customization (no app ownership)
Clear(NewProfile."App ID");
NewProfile."App Name" := '';
NewProfile."Extension Name" := '';
NewProfile."Published As" := NewProfile."Published As"::"Tenant Customization";

NewProfile.Insert(true);
end;
end;
}
Notes:

Use “All Profile” only to read an existing profile (it’s a union over app/tenant profiles).

Insert the new record into “Profile” (the insertable table).

Clearing "App ID" (and related fields) and setting "Published As" is what resolves the error.
