Domain graph errors during startup

The archive domain graph defines the cluster of entity types that PolicyCenter treats as a single aggregate for purposes of archiving data. A domain graph error is a data model structure that prevents PolicyCenter from being able to identify a single aggregate of entity types. For example, a domain graph error can be caused by an entity outside the domain graph with a foreign key pointing to an entity inside the domain graph.

In the base configuration, if you extend the data model and there are domain graph errors, PolicyCenter will not start. This is true, whether archiving is enabled or disabled.

There is a configuration parameter named AllowStartupInDevelopmentModeWithDomainGraphErrors. This allows PolicyCenter to start in development mode with domain graph errors. For more information, refer to the System Administration Guide.

PolicyCenter cannot be started in production mode when there are domain graph errors. For production mode, the domain graph errors must be fixed.
