MastHead PAR modifications - Portal Runtime Error

[Former Member]

Following the thread:

To modify the MastHead of a customer portal, I always end up with the following problem when the iView is displayed.

"

Portal Runtime Error

An exception occurred while processing a request for :

iView : pcd:portal_content/every_user/general/defaultDesktop/frameworkPages/frameworkpage/com.sap.portal.masthead

Component Name : null

Page could not create the iView.

See the details for the exception ID in the log file

"

I have tried various things but even when I export the com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par.bak, import it into NetWeaver and then deploy it back to the server I get this message. I have uploaded the par under a different name and I can select a new iView from this par based page but I get the same error.

A new par project with a "Hello World" type output works fine.

This looks like a basic bug in the Portal. The export or deployment has corrupted the par! I have taken it from the disk and using the Web Runtime administration console but both are the same.

I checked the portalapp.xml file and the components have names defined.

Does anyone else have this situation?

Where are the log files so I can look at the details?

Thanks,

Doug

Hi Doug,

First of all welcome to SDN

There is a NWDS bug, that the jar files do not get imported when you import a par file. So you will have to manually copy the jar files from par to NWDS.

If this is not the case, then check the exception ID in the log file and paste the error trace.
