* The cpm_for_cpdb.elg file shows following error:

  ```
  
  DATE TIME,PID INFO threat.schema_changes.MultipleThreatEmulationSchemaChanges

  ```

* The gateway does not exist in the Database. The gateway ID is in the TE settings name, after the string "TESettings_" - TESettings_4402D83D-10CC-4B74-AACB-0DB6755884F9

## Cause

Schema change failed due to invalid Threat Emulation settings related to non-existing gateways.
