Cannot raise a Case via the Self Service Portal

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 11

I have created a Self Service Portal for customers to raise and view their support Cases but have found that whenever I select the submit button I get the following error:

 An unknown failure has occurred. Error ID # [8a2f84bc-c12e-4a82-8b14-1731fd712871]

Where the ID # of the error changes each time. 

  • The Account and Contact are read only on the portal and present on the form where the customer fills in the Title, Case Type and the Description. I do not have any custom mandatory fields set.
  • I can add a Portal Comment onto an existing Case raised via the Customer Services Hub app.
  • I have created a custom Web Role but have changed the Contact back to Authenticated Users and still am unable to raise a Case.
  • I have deactivated some of the web pages as we will not be using them but I reactivated them and still am unable to raise a Case.
  • I have restarted the Portal but still am unable to raise a Case.
  • I have updated the portal to version 9.2.2108.0 but still am unable to raise a Case.
  • I have reset the portal but still am unable to raise a Case.
  • I have a trial Portal in my Pre-Prod environment and cannot replicate the issue there

I have run out of ideas so any assistance would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Mike

    After searching more I found a suggestion to make the error a bit more meaningful where link is:

    powerusers.microsoft.com/.../486300

    I updated the setting on the portal and now the error I am getting is:

    Attribute 'customerid' cannot be NULL

    Still not closer to resolving but if this helps anyone any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Many thanks,

    Mike

    RESOLVED - in trying to make the form more customer proof I made the Account and Contact fields on the Web - Create Case form read only. As soon as I unticked the read-only box for these fields the case was able to be submitted and raised successfully.
