Staci MISSING_ARGUMENT, Id not specified in an update call
I have a button on Cases called Create Alert. It creates a record in our custom object Alerts. I'm trying to get it to update a lookup to itself upon creation but can't seem to get it to update. I want the Alert Id to be copied into the Master_Alert_Lookup__c field but i'm getting this error when I click save. If I comment out the update line and look in debug logs, its pulling the correct ID, just not updating the current Alert record. Can anyone help me with this please?
Update failed. First exception on row 0; first error: MISSING_ARGUMENT, Id not specified in an update call: []
public class CW_casetoAlert{
public Alerts__c a{get; set;}
public CW_casetoAlert(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
this.a=(Alerts__c)Controller.getrecord();
}
public pageReference autorun(){
ID alertID = ApexPages.CurrentPage().getParameters().get('newid');
ID caseID = ApexPages.CurrentPage().getParameters().get('caseID');
a.Master_Alert_Lookup__c = alertID;
//Update the new Alert record
update a;
system.debug(a);
//create a new Case Change Association
Case_Alert_Association__c newCAA = new Case_Alert_Association__c();
// Fill in the values for the new record
newCAA.Case__c = caseID;
newCAA.Alerts__c = alertID;
//Insert the new Case Change Association record
Database.insert (newCAA);
PageReference retPage = new PageReference('/' + alertID);
return retPage;
}
}

Where are you setting the two page parameters (newId and caseId) and where is the autoRun() method being called? From the button?
If this is the controller for the Alert__c record, and the current record is to be updated, have you tried getting the Id within the constructor through a getId() method?
Button:
/a0H/e?retUrl={!Case.Id}&00Ne0000000jigT={!Case.Created_Date_For_IA__c}&00Ne0000000jigO={!Case.Incident_Start__c}&00Ne0000000jifu={!Case.Product__c}&CF00Ne0000000jigE={!Case.CaseNumber}&CF00Ne0000000jigE_lkid={!Case.Id}&CF00Ne0000000jigs={!Case.Account}&CF00Ne0000000jigs_lkid={!Case.AccountId}&saveURL=/apex/CW_CasetoAlert?caseID={!Case.Id}
My autoRun is being called from VF Page
<apex:page standardController="Alerts__c" extensions="CW_casetoAlert" action="{!autorun}">
</apex:page>
The problem is that there's no Id for the Alerts__c record being created until the record is saved. And do you see the last line in the button URL "caseID={!Case.Id}"? That small part is assigning the Case Id to caseID, but I don't see any mention of newId.
You might want to create a workflow that updates the Master_Alert_Lookup__c field when the Account record is created.
