• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IAM/CONFIG070 - Mapping &1 with step &2 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /IAM/CONFIG070 Mapping &1 with step &2 does not exist typically occurs in the context of Identity Access Management (IAM) or when dealing with configuration mappings in SAP systems. This error indicates that the system is trying to reference a mapping configuration that has not been defined or is missing.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Mapping Configuration: The specified mapping (denoted by &1) or the step (denoted by &2) does not exist in the system. This could be due to:
  
  The mapping was never created.
  The mapping was deleted or not properly transported from a development environment to production.
  Typographical errors in the mapping name or step number.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings may not have been set up correctly, leading to the system being unable to find the required mapping.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the mapping was created in a different system (like development) and not properly transported to the target system (like production), it may lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Mapping Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP (e.g., transaction codes like IAM_CONFIG or similar) and verify if the mapping &1 exists.
  Ensure that the step &2 is correctly defined within that mapping.
  
  
  
  Create or Restore Mapping:
  
  If the mapping does not exist, you may need to create it. Follow the necessary steps to define the mapping and ensure it is correctly configured.
  If the mapping was deleted, check if it can be restored from a backup or if it can be recreated.
  
  
  
  Verify Transport Requests:
  
  If the mapping was supposed to be transported from another system, check the transport requests to ensure they were successfully imported.
  If there were issues with the transport, you may need to re-transport the relevant configuration.
  
  
  
  Check for Typographical Errors:
  
  Double-check the names and identifiers used in the configuration to ensure there are no typos or incorrect references.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to IAM configurations for any specific requirements or steps that may have been overlooked.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to IAM configurations.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for IAM configuration, such as IAM_CONFIG, SU01, or others depending on your specific setup.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
