SYMPTOM:
When running a project comparison in Strategy Object Manager 9.x, the following error appears:
Sample Code/Error
Object with ID XXXX and type 12 (Attribute) is not found in metadata. It may have been deleted.
As a result, the project comparison is not completed.
This issue only occurs when enabling the option "Include Hidden Objects".
CAUSE:
One possible cause of this issue is that there is a shortcut object pointing to a missing attribute. Shortcuts are managed objects and cannot be edited or removed.
ACTION:
Contact Strategy Technical Support for further assistance, and for the corrective steps to resolve the issue. In order to track down the cause of the inconsistency, customers encountering this issue should make note of Schema-related changes, Object Migrations, or error messages prior to experiencing the problem. Change Journaling, if it has been enabled, can help in preserving this information.
