• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LDAPRC070 - Result is too extensive ?

  The SAP error message "LDAPRC070 Result is too extensive" typically occurs when a query to an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server returns a result set that exceeds the limits set by the server or the SAP system. This can happen when the search criteria are too broad, resulting in a large number of entries being returned.
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Result Set: The LDAP query is returning too many entries, exceeding the maximum limit configured on the LDAP server or in the SAP system.
  Search Scope: The search scope may be too broad, such as searching the entire directory without specific filters.
  Server Configuration: The LDAP server may have limits on the number of entries that can be returned in a single query (often set for performance reasons).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Refine Search Criteria: Modify the LDAP query to be more specific. Use filters to narrow down the results to only those entries that are necessary.
  
  For example, instead of searching for all users, you might search for users within a specific organizational unit (OU) or with specific attributes.
  
  
  
  Adjust Server Limits: If you have access to the LDAP server configuration, consider increasing the maximum result size limit. This is usually done in the server's configuration files or management interface.
  
  Note: This should be done with caution, as it can impact server performance.
  
  
  
  Pagination: Implement pagination in your LDAP queries if supported. This allows you to retrieve results in smaller chunks rather than all at once.
  
  
  Check SAP Configuration: Review the SAP system settings related to LDAP integration. Ensure that the settings align with the expected number of entries and adjust as necessary.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the documentation for both the SAP system and the LDAP server for specific configuration options and best practices.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  LDAP Limits: Different LDAP servers (like OpenLDAP, Microsoft Active Directory, etc.) have different default limits for the number of entries returned. Check the documentation for your specific LDAP server.
  SAP Notes: Look for SAP Notes related to LDAP integration and error handling. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common issues.
  Performance Considerations: Be mindful of performance implications when adjusting limits or refining queries. A well-structured query can significantly improve response times and reduce server load.
  
  If the problem persists after trying these solutions, consider reaching out to your system administrator or SAP support for further assistance.
