• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EE_AMI154 - Use not possible; profile/role &1: profiles in external system ?

  The SAP error message EE_AMI154 indicates that there is an issue with the user profile or role that is being used in the system. Specifically, the message states that the use of the specified profile or role is not possible because the profiles are located in an external system. This typically occurs in scenarios where SAP is integrated with external identity management systems or when using external authorization management.
  Cause:
  
  External Profile Management: The profile or role you are trying to use is managed in an external system (like an LDAP directory or another identity management system) and is not available in the SAP system.

  Check Profile/Role Existence: Verify that the profile or role specified in the error message exists in the external system and is correctly configured.
  Integration Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the integration between SAP and the external system. Ensure that the connection is properly established and that the necessary parameters are set.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the external profiles. This may involve checking both SAP and the external system's authorization settings.
  Synchronization Process: If applicable, check the synchronization process between SAP and the external system. Ensure that it is running correctly and that there are no errors in the logs.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or the documentation of the external system for specific instructions on how to manage profiles and roles in an integrated environment.
