## Symptoms

- * Scheduled IPS update downloads package successfully, but fails to install policy on the Security Gateways with error: "*These targets do not have any installed policy. No installation will be done.*"
* In SmartConsole, when clicking **Install Policy** and selecting a policy, this message shows: "*Changes data is not available*".
* In SmartConsole, when looking under GATEAYS \& SERVERS \> column: Threat Prevention \> Installation Date, the column will be empty or with "-".
* When opening an SSH connection to the Security Management Server and running these 2 commands, an empty table shows:  
  `[Expert@hostname:0]# psql_client cpm postgres`   
  `cpm=# select * from installstatus where target='(object id of failing GW)' order by installdate desc;`

## Cause

The database of the Security Management Server does not have an entry for the relevant Security Gateway object in the "*installstatus* " table. The policy installation of the Scheduled IPS update relies on this table to complete the installation.  

Entries from *"installstatus"* table is deleted due to purge revision as described in sk181652.  
Or,  
This is a new GW object for this MGMT server.
