Server error when trying to view Meta Classes in commerce administration section
Hi,
I would suggest to upgrade to latest version (8.16.1), then make sure all the migration steps have completed, before starting Commerce Manager,
Regards,

Hi Quan,
Thanks for your response. We already have upgraded to the latest version of commerce (8.16.1) and followed all the migration steps.
Everything else in Commerce Manager works apart from the ability to access the Meta Classes function under the Catalog System option. Also I've just noticed, when I go to the Meta Fields funtion and try to add a new meta field, I get the following error:
Access Denied
Your account does not have rights to access this feature of the commerce manager. Please contact your system administrator for more information.
I think it may be related to the original problem. However accessing the Meta Classes and Meta Fields functions under the Order System option seem to work fine. It's just under Catalog System option that they dont work.

Hi,
What do you see in <yoursite>/<ui-path>/Commerce/Migrate? Do all the migration steps there completed?
If yes, did you try to restart CM? The problem you're having seems to be an issue where the permissions were not properly migrated or were cached.
/Q
Nov 11, 2015 16:54
I've just checked all the migration steps in /commerce/migrate and they are all ticked and completed.
I've also just restarted commerce manager in IIS and recycled the app pool. But still getting the same problem.
Thanks

This is due to the persmissions being incorrect when upgrading commerce in the CatalogMetaField-New.xml file (Catlog > Config > View) the permissions tag isn't right.
Before: catalog:admin:meta:fld:create
What it should be: catalog:admin:meta:fld:mng:create

Hi
I think its problem with EpiServer Commerce Manager Import. When you create a new BF class & Publish it. It create new entry in CMS table "tblUserPermission". Thats why it is easily editable.
Now when you import it using Commerce Manager import. It does not create these entries in database hence you can not able to edit BF classes eventhough you have publish them.
I created a manual sql script that i run on CMS database (not commerce manager database) after import to assign all premissions. like below
Insert into [tblUserPermission] (Name,IsRole,Permission, GroupName) Values('Administrators',1,'businessfoundation:[bfClassName]:create:permission','EPiCommerce')
Insert into [tblUserPermission] (Name,IsRole,Permission, GroupName) Values('Administrators',1,'businessfoundation:[[bfClassName]]:delete:permission','EPiCommerce')
Insert into [tblUserPermission] (Name,IsRole,Permission, GroupName) Values('Administrators',1,'businessfoundation:[[bfClassName]]:edit:permission','EPiCommerce')
Insert into [tblUserPermission] (Name,IsRole,Permission, GroupName) Values('Administrators',1,'businessfoundation:[[bfClassName]]:view:permission','EPiCommerce')
I hope that helps
Thanks

Were also having this problem now using commerce 9.8.1.
tblUserPermission looks ok. Works fine to view meta fields.
Any solutions out there?
Feb 09, 2016 4:51
I can confirm that it is still present for us as well in version 9.8.1 and that tblUserPermission has what Naveed suggested to add already or i think so
running following sql query:
SELECT [Name]
,[IsRole]
,[Permission]
,[GroupName]
FROM [tblUserPermission]
WHERE
[Permission] LIKE 'businessfoundation%'
returns:

@Gatis: The access rights to metaclass are in "catalog:admin:meta:*" and "order:admin:meta:*" Permission, not in "businessfoundation:*"
/Q
Feb 09, 2016 8:45
Ok, that still looks fine, is it?:
SELECT * FROM [tblUserPermission] WHERE [Permission] LIKE 'catalog:admin:meta:%' OR [Permission] LIKE 'order:admin:meta:%'
results:
pkID Name IsRole Permission GroupName ----- --------------- ------- --------------------------------- ----------- 34 Administrators 1 catalog:admin:meta:cls:mng:create EPiCommerce 35 Administrators 1 catalog:admin:meta:cls:mng:delete EPiCommerce 36 Administrators 1 catalog:admin:meta:cls:mng:edit EPiCommerce 37 Administrators 1 catalog:admin:meta:cls:mng:view EPiCommerce 38 Administrators 1 catalog:admin:meta:fld:mng:create EPiCommerce 39 Administrators 1 catalog:admin:meta:fld:mng:delete EPiCommerce 40 Administrators 1 catalog:admin:meta:fld:mng:edit EPiCommerce 41 Administrators 1 catalog:admin:meta:fld:mng:view EPiCommerce 208 Administrators 1 order:admin:meta:cls:mng:create EPiCommerce 209 Administrators 1 order:admin:meta:cls:mng:delete EPiCommerce 210 Administrators 1 order:admin:meta:cls:mng:edit EPiCommerce 211 Administrators 1 order:admin:meta:cls:mng:view EPiCommerce 212 Administrators 1 order:admin:meta:fld:mng:create EPiCommerce 213 Administrators 1 order:admin:meta:fld:mng:delete EPiCommerce 214 Administrators 1 order:admin:meta:fld:mng:edit EPiCommerce 215 Administrators 1 order:admin:meta:fld:mng:view EPiCommerce (16 row(s) affected)
and accessing meta fields works while classes fails

Can you show the file in Commerce Manager project Apps\Core\Config\View\Navigation\LeftMenu.xml so I can see if it was updated properly by the nuget update
Feb 09, 2016 9:25
Apps\Core\Config\View\Navigation\LeftMenu.xml
I think it have not, since I can see in source control history that it has not changed by upgrade.
I guess I need to compare my manager with clean install
Edited,
Feb 09, 2016 9:28
Seems it is updated correctly. Is that the only functionality in the admin section that is not working?
Feb 09, 2016 9:33
Things look correct - did you try to clean the ASP.NET temporary files and reset IIS?
/Q
Feb 09, 2016 9:43
System Settings -> Dictionaries -> Languages
Fails with JavaScript message:
Specified view 'Langauges-List' can not be located in 'Content' app
System Settings -> Workflow
Fails with JavaScript message:
Specified view 'Workflow-List' can not be located in 'Content' app
All other functionality work except: 'Catalog system -> Meta classes'
However: 'Order System -> Meta Classes' work
Feb 09, 2016 9:43
No, nor IIS reset, nor clearing asp.net temporary files does not change things
Feb 09, 2016 9:46
If you have made no customization to the Apps folder, I would suggest to overwrite the entire folder with a clean install of Commerce Manager.
I compared your file with what we have in 9.8.1 and it seems there are differences in several places.
/Q
Feb 09, 2016 9:49
This is the JavaScript call that fails for catalog meta classes and returns previously mentioned exception:
http://manager/Apps/Shell/Pages/ContentFrame.aspx?_a=Catalog&_v=CatalogMetaClass-List&namespace=Mediachase.Commerce.Catalog&fieldnamespace=Mediachase.Commerce.Catalog&mfview=CatalogMetaField-Edit
maybe this helps
Feb 09, 2016 9:56
Yes I will try exactly that(comparing to clean install), as we have only few modifications, and report back here
Feb 09, 2016 9:58
What's the content of your \Apps\Catalog\Config\View\CatalogMetaClass-List.xml?
/Q
Feb 09, 2016 9:59
Ok the problem is this line:
<Button id="ImportMetaData" text="{CatalogStrings:MetaClass_Import_MetaData}" imageUrl="~/Apps/Shell/styles/Images/toolbar/import.png" commandName="cmdCatalogImportMetaData" permissions="*catalog:admin:meta:cls:mng:create,*catalog:admin:meta:fld:mng:create"/>
* is an invalid character. Remove it should solve the problem.
I still suggest you to make sure your Apps folder matches with our Apps folder.
/Q
Feb 09, 2016 10:04
Spot on Quan, removing thouse two * fixed the issue for me
And I will definetly compare against latest clean Apps
Thanks!
Feb 09, 2016 10:08
Can you confirm, Apps is not a virtual directory in IIS and pointing to some older version.
Regards
/K
Feb 09, 2016 17:53
No its not virtual directory and is not pointing to old Shared/Shared/Apps what was set up as virtual directory
Feb 09, 2016 18:38
Thanks Quan and Gatis. That fixed the issue for us as well.
( Also noted that Administrators could not create meta fields so I had to update the permissions in CatalogMetaField-New.xml that was incorrect.
Updated: catalog:admin:meta:fld:create To: catalog:admin:meta:fld:mng:create )
Edited,
Feb 09, 2016 22:37
Also had this problem upgrading from Commerce 8.7.1 to 8.16.1.
Besides the error in CatalogMetaField-New.xml, I would like to add an error found in Apps/Customer/Config/View/Navigation/LeftMenu.xml, there is a blank space in the permissions list.

Hi,
I am receiving a server error when trying to view the Meta Classes in the Administration section of EPiServer Commerce. When I click on the Meta Classes link, I am returned with an error saying:
Must begin with a letter and only contain alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), '_', ':' and '-'
Parameter name: name

Mediachase.Commerce.Manager.Core.MetaData.Admin.MetaClassesControl.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) +658
Does anyone know why this might be? It has been working previously but just recently we upgraded our site from EPiServer 7.5 to 8, and I'm not sure whether this might have broken after the upgrade. I believe it might be related to an issue with permissions, however I am logging into commerce manager as an admin.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mohammed.
