Blank pull down menus for Entities and Platforms when trying to create new queries via the CCS Console

Environment

Windows/Linux/Oracle

Cause

SymConsole Logs state that-[DBGRHEL] not found for Platform Details/Entity Selection
Here [DBGRHEL] is the name of a Custom Platform created by the User
This Custom Platform name could be different depending upon the customization done
Some users create Custom Platforms for Testing Purpose and later delete it via the console but at times it has an Orphan Entry left in CCS Adam which needs to be removed manually

   3. Under Computer use Select or type a domain or server: (Server | Domain [:port) and type the name of the machine(FQDN, Netbios, or localhost) and then the port such as localhost:3890
   4. Click ok
4. Once the Symantec ADAM Instance is connected first Under O=Symantec create a new object->>Container named "Temp"
5. Navigate through tree through O=Symantec > OU = Infrastructure > CN=Config > CN=Global >CN=PlatformSettingsUI
6. Check for a custom platform created by the name-[DBGRHEL].
7. Right Click on name-[DBGRHEL] and Move it to the "Temp" Folder created earlier
