Issue/Introduction

 

We're running an AdminUI and this one is no longer allowing new
partnerships to be saved. Upon going to any screen in the partnership
the AdminUI shows an Error

  "Unable to Save Partnership message."

How can we fix this ?

 

Cause

 

The Policy Server reports the following information about missing data
structures :

Environment

 

Policy Server 12.8SP3

 

Resolution

 

Run XPSDDInstall SmMaster.xdd on the Policy Server to install the
missing data definitions into the Policy Store. Even if this is not
needed, it will do no harm and is thus the fastest/simplest way to
either resolve the issue or confirm that lack of proper schema is not
causing the problem.
