Cause

This error message is hard-coded, non-editable, and generated from this snippet with the CatalogSite.java code:

// If we get here the object hasn't been cached yet.
GlideRecord catSiteGr = new GlideRecord(SC_CATALOG_SITE);
catSiteGr.addQuery(SC_CATALOG, fCatalogId);
catSiteGr.addQuery(CONTENT_SITE, fSiteId);
catSiteGr.query();

/*
* If Customer CMS site hasn't been set up just return a blank string
* This may cause some slow down until they set up their CMS site
* correctly. We could cache the blank values but would we want to speed
* up incorrect config?
*/
if (!catSiteGr.next()) {
Log.error(String.format("CMS site data missing from table: [%s] sc_catalog: [%s] content_site: [%s]",
new Object[]{SC_CATALOG_SITE, fCatalogId, fSiteId}));
return;
}

The above code cheeks if a CMS Site [content_site] has a corresponding Catalog [sc_catalog]. Starting with Eureka, support for multi-catalogs was introduced. For more information, see Managing Catalog Sites.

If you want to use a Catalog [sc_catalog] within a CMS Site [content_site], a Catalog Site [sc_catalog_site] record must be defined linking the two. The example screenshots shows want is configured in the base system:

4. On the related list, click Edit to specify the missing Catalog(s).
