Environment

Service Desk Manager 17.3 and higher

Cause

The NX.env file doesn't have any Catalog-related environment variables, but the ddict.sch has references for many Catalog-related tables.

If this is a fresh installation of Service Desk, this should not be happening.

Resolution

Recommend to locate another Linux server where Service Desk was installed correctly and:

1. On the server with this problem, back up your NX_ROOT/site/sch folder and NX_ROOT/site/dditct.sch file.

2. Copy the NX_ROOT/site/sch folder from a computer where this is working to the computer with the problem.

3. Then perform pdm_configure and verify the issue.
