What causes this issue?

An error occurred during creation of one or more data records in the
LDAP directory. The error has been logged in the system used to export
data to the LDAP directory.
You can find logs in the database tables <zh>TLDA_LOG</> (HR-LDAP:
Non-Exported Data Records) and <zh>TLDA_MSG</> (Error Messages About
Data in Table TLDA_LOG). Table <zh>TLDA_LOG</> contains data records
that could not be exported; table TLDA_MSG contains the corresponding
messages.

How to fix this error?

You can display the transport logs using the report <zh>Messages About
Non-Exportable Data Records</> (SPLDAP_DISPLAY_LOG_TABLES). Using the
report <zh>LDAP Directory: Deleting Export Logs</>
(RPLDAP_CLEAN_UP_LOG_TABLES) you can delete individual employee data
records from a transport log or completely delete the log.
We recommend that you look at the transport logs before trying to
export data again and delete data records either individually or
completely.
These reports are available in the systems from which you executed the
data export.
Take note of the report documentation.
