Custom code in 26R1 Self Service Portal has changed

​@Joe Schmucker 

I checked in my 26R1 environment, and PX.Objects.SP.DAC.PortalSetup is present. Could you check if the required portal assembly is referenced correctly in your project?

Hi ​@SaiKrishnaV  Thanks for looking into this for me.  I don’t have the PX.Objects.SP dll in my bin folder.

I also used SP.Objects.IN.Descriptor.  That is missing too.

I am going to re-install a new site and see if it shows up.  

​@Joe Schmucker thanks for your update. Just to confirm, which Acumatica version are you currently using? I am trying to determine whether this behavior is specific to a particular build.

​@SaiKrishnaV , I am on 26R1-26-100-0175.

Hi ​@Joe Schmucker 

There seems to be two different portal installation with 26R1, 1 is normal portal where you can enable MUI and another one is completely Modern Portal. It looks like things have changed in Modern Portal. I do not see SP.Objects.dll in Modern Portal. However, PX.Objects.PR.dll exists in both.

Hope this helps you analyze your issue further.

​@Joe Schmucker Hi,
 

I have setup SP for 26R1, which is working fine for me.

While creating I selected “Create Modern Porta” option in setup.

Make sure your ERP instance and portal has to be same Build version

below is the portal settings page in ERP :

Portal Login page:
 

​@Srinivas Kota Indeed!  I missed this!

I deleted the CummingsSSP26 site (portal).

Installed the portal again choosing Create Modern portal.

When I open the site I get an error:

The site is on 26.100.0175

The feature is enabled

I am using the installer for the same version:

The site and the portal are on the same version and the same DB version.

I deleted the portal again.  This time I installed it not using the modern UI option.  I did an upgrade to the portal site, hoping it would change it to MUI.  

I can open the portal, but it is not MUI.  I went to Portal Preferences to see if there was an option to use MUI, but that screen is empty.  I am logged in as Admin.

In the Portal Preferences I tried to switch to MUI and got this error.  So I am assuming I am still using the non-MUI portal.

I deleted the portal.  Installed it again with the correct option selected to use MUI.

I restarted IIS.

Same error occurs.

Should I submit a support request?  

​@Joe Schmucker Hi,

Have you configured below screen(SP701000) in ERP? If not please complete it and try.

​@Srinivas Kota That screen doesn’t exist in my ERP instance.  It exists in the Portal instance.

I cannot find anything in ERP to do configuration for the Portal.  Should I?

I ensured that the feature is enabled in ERP

The feature is enabled

I also ensured I have access to the “Portals” screen:

If I install the portal as the non mui type, the portal opens.  So I can only assume that the portal is setup properly in ERP.

I spun up a new portal using the non mui option and it works fine. 

I tried to open SP701000 in the non-mui portal and it takes me back to screen 000000.

The data is from a sandbox site for my customer.  Maybe there is some issue in the sandbox as it was migrated from 25R1 to 26R1.

FYI, I also upgraded my site to build 26.101.0225 but it made no difference.

I am going to submit a support ticket with Acumatica for this.  I appreciate your help with this.

EDIT:  The screen SP701000 IS in the site map.  Maybe I do not have rights to open it.

As noted above, I think I have rights to the “portals”.  Maybe there is some other place I need to check but I don’t see anything.

In my MUI portal instance, the SP.Objects.dll was NOT copied to the bin folder.  I found the file in the installer folder and manually copied it.  I was able to get my code to compile in 26R1 after some editing.

I did an install of the portal using the non-MUI option.  The file was copied to the bin folder.

I noticed a remark in the source code (SPPayInvoiceMaint graph):

//TODO: should be renamed to PortalSetup once we fix the error of conflicting names

Maybe that is the issue, but I think it is just that the installer doesn’t copy the dll to the bin folder of the portal.

I will submit a ticket with support.
