• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LDAPMAP021 - Mapping &1 does not contain any attributes ?

  The SAP error message LDAPMAP021 indicates that there is an issue with the LDAP mapping configuration in your SAP system. Specifically, it means that the mapping for a particular object type (denoted by &1 in the error message) does not contain any attributes. This can occur during the synchronization process between SAP and an LDAP directory service.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors:
  
  Missing Attributes: The mapping configuration for the specified object type does not define any attributes, which means that the system does not know what data to retrieve or synchronize.
  Incorrect Configuration: The LDAP mapping configuration may not have been set up correctly, leading to an empty attribute list.
  Changes in LDAP Schema: If there have been changes in the LDAP schema or the object class definitions, the existing mappings may no longer be valid.
  Typographical Errors: There may be typographical errors in the mapping configuration that prevent attributes from being recognized.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the LDAPMAP021 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Mapping Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code LDAP in SAP.
  Review the mapping configuration for the object type indicated in the error message.

  Define Attributes:
  
  If the mapping does not contain any attributes, you will need to define the required attributes for the object type.
  Make sure to include all relevant attributes that are necessary for your synchronization needs.
  
  
  
  Validate LDAP Schema:
  
  Check the LDAP directory schema to ensure that the attributes you are trying to map actually exist in the LDAP directory.
  If there have been changes to the LDAP schema, update your SAP mapping accordingly.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making changes to the mapping configuration, test the synchronization process to ensure that the error is resolved.
