Page definition not loading with message The specified page could not be loaded. Section type 'Nothing' has not been implemented

Lester Porter

We're reviving an old project to execute a bulk download of constituent attachments that we haven't worked on for about 5 years. It is being implemented as a business process that amalgamates the attachments (based on a constituent selection) into a zip file that is then exported to a mapped drive. Everything works in my local environment but when I deploy to Dev, I get "The specified page could not be loaded. Section type 'Nothing' has not been implemented" when trying to access the business process parameter set page. I've tried rewriting the page in question from scratch but no dice. Has anyone else seen this error?

Thanks,

Ray Porter

Hi @Lester Porter - Ray, I moved this discussion over to the Blackbaud CRM API discussion area. I'm also going to ask my team about this!

Thanks, Crystal. The expression view form used by the page was returning the ID from a configuration parameter table. When deployed to a new environment, that table was empty so it was returning a null and that was causing the page not to load with the mentioned error. I tried returning a default guid value (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000) but that didn't work. I added a script to the project that will need to executed in SSMS whenever the project is deployed to a new environment to insert a default row in the configuration table.

@Lester Porter Can you create a support ticket for us to look into this . We would need to review this before we can provide a solution .

I've resolved this issue on my end. As stated in my last reply, the expression view form for the page was returning a null in the guid field returned by the view form since the table it was trying to read was empty. My work around is to prepopulate that table. So you still want me to create a support ticket?

I would say yes @Lester Porter - a work around is great, but support would love to be able to track down what's happening, so a work around isn't necessary!

Okay, Crystal. I'll be happy to create a ticket but I don't see any way to do so under my account?
