Object Types missing in all WDK Applications after installing Webpublisher

I´m just installing a complete Documentum 6.5SP1 based system (vmware image) to test migration issues from 5.3SP6 to 6.5SP1. I installed Database, Content Server, Documentum Administrator application, Webtop application. Then MTS Services and Thumbnail Server and the Digital Asset Manager application. Until now everything was fine. Now i installed the Webpublisher Server Files and the Webpublisher application.

I can´t import or create files now because the object type box when creating new content or importing content is empty. Trying to import a document or create a new document gives a null pointer exception:

10:27:45,437 ERROR [http-8080-1] com.documentum.web.common.Trace -

The Object types are still there but not displayed in the combo boxed. I really have no idea why. Can you help.

Did the data dictionary job run successfully? If its not scheduled you can run the method manually. It may be a good idea to bounce the app server after it completes.

This is the output of the DataDictionaryPublisher

DataDictionaryPublisher utility syntax: apply,c,NULL,RESYNC_DATA_DICTIONARY,RETRY_COUNT,i,10
Executing DataDictionaryPublisher...
The DataDictionaryPublisher job was successful.

should publish count be > 0 normally?

I was able to solve my problem by reading this article: https://solutions.emc.com/emcsolutionview.asp?id=esg40353

Solution was to set Locales with Webpublisher and then importing the Locales with the populate script. See also https://solutions.emc.com/emcsolutionview.asp?id=esg40353
