When running the AdminUI (WAM UI), this one is unable to create SiteMinder Domains.
The smps.log file and the Policy Server trace files show the following errors:

This happens when running Policy Server with a Policy Store for which extensions were updated (1).
The error above can happen if:
In this situation, the Policy Server expects to find the objects/attributes related to the Identity Manager in the schema (such as Domain.IDMEnvironmentsLink above) but won't find them and fail on the reference error above.
Policy Server 12.8SP5;
Identity Manager 14;
Make sure to import the siteminder_home\xps\dd\IdmSmObjects.xdd DD Data Definitions in the Policy Store to solve the issue.
Once the DD Data Definitions are imported, make sure the Policy Server is fully restarted.
