3.18 - errors when trying to generate sum alerts in Panel Topology

[tpjctrl]

I've recently installed 3.18 and when creating panel topology I'm getting errors when trying to create sum alerts after making and saving changes (it asks if you'd like to regenerate sum alerts). This is shown in the log when I select Generate sum alerts / Selected panel:

If I try and manually create the dp in _SumAlertPanel I get this:

And I also see errors even when browsing the contents of the default master dp in _SumAlertPanel:

Any ideas what's causing this? I'm seeing this on two 3.18 distributed projects.

The problem seems to be that you are using a project with NGA archiving and the NGA manager is not running.
In that case the information for the archive configs cannot read/written and therefore the log messages occur.
