## Symptoms

- * "`Global Domain Assignment Failed: An internal error has occurred.`" error on global domain assignment failure.

* The `$MDS_FWDIR/log/cpm.elg` file shows these errors:

  ```
  "[date] [time],743 ERROR coresvc.internal.GlobalDomainAssignmentSvcImpl [taskExecutor-696]: Exception in Global Domain Reassignment.

  ```

* There are duplicate Access Control policies in the problematic domains.   
  In this example, there is a duplication of the Access Control policy for three domains:   

  ```
  cpm=# select objid, dtype, domainid from policyassignment_data where not deleted and dlesession=0 and domainid in 
  ('c5941043-cfb3-4293-bd02-a429e9ef45da','02c7f74a-64c8-44b8-856b-1360f554f8d4','9473df0d-e66b-43cb-a862-d34cda8f31bb') order by domainid;
