Issue/Introduction

[Validate.cpp:1055][IXPSObjectV1::CheckForDanglingObjects][WARN][sm-xpsxps-03491] CA.SM::AgentInstance@PS-0000000000000000000000004f73a8c0-webprod5-aSlNwAuqeHtjiIq2qvt7mNN7MMXhtgoi8MjSwSPgfr8=: AgentInstance[] has an attribute named 'ACOLink' that points to an object of type 'AgentConfig' that does not exist.

[Sweeper.cpp:1386][SweeperValidationMonitor::Validated][WARN][sm-xpsxps-05760] Suspect Object: CA.SM::AgentInstance@PS-0000000000000000000000004f73a8c0-webprod5-aSlNwAuqeHtjiIq2qvt7mNN7MMXhtgoi8MjSwSPgfr8=.

Environment

Release : 12.8.x

Cause

The AgentInstance object was created prior to the XPS Data Dictionary adding the 'ACOLink' attribute to the 'AgentInstance' object class.  At some point following the creation of this object the Data Dictionary was updated.

Resolution

Use XPSExplorer to delete the AgentInstance object from the Policy Store.  The next time that specific agent connects to the policy server a new AgentInstance object will be created.  The ACOLink attribute will be populated on the newly created object.  There is no need to stop or restart the Policy Server when taking this action.
