Can you help me to give a reason about this issue?

I guess you use GateIn 3.6 ? I tested your snippet of code in a basic portlet, and my page has been successfully created. Can you try with a fresh GateIn ? Did you add some custom configuration that could impact users' pages ? — Thomas
@Thomas I am using fresh GateIn. But i do it in my own portal applcation. But i can create page when SiteKey instead of user like follows portal.createPage(new PageId("newPortal", "myPage")); — Anish Antony
The exception says that the dashboard of your user has not been created. The dashboard is created when the user is created, by the listener org.exoplatform.portal.config.UserPortalConfigListener declared in the file portal.war/WEB-INF/conf/portal/portal-configuration.xml. Did you remove/overwrite this configuration ? — Thomas
Ya i edited it you can find out my portal-configuration.xml from above. Is there is any issue on my portal-configuration.xml? — Anish Antony
@Thomas I resolved the issue in one level. I can create user page for users who are under predefinedOwner tag in portal-configuration.xml. But i cant create user portal for users which i created programatically (I think because they are not in predefindOwner category). How can i add users to predefindOwner category programatically? — Anish Antony

The error says that the dashboard of your user does not exist. The dashboard is created automatically when the user is created, thanks to the listener org.exoplatform.portal.config.UserPortalConfigListener declared in the file portal.war/WEB-INF/conf/portal/portal-configuration.xml. So I guess in your case, the listener has not been triggred when the user has been created.

If you create your users programmatically, you have to be sure that the broadcast option is enabled (which will triggered the listeners), by setting the second argument of the createUser method to true : orgService.getUserHandler().createUser(user, true);
