• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTR2_ES_OBTREP173 - Not all employees synchronized (before &1, after &2) ?

  The SAP error message LTR2_ES_OBTREP173 indicates that there is a synchronization issue with employee data in the system. Specifically, it suggests that not all employees have been synchronized correctly, with the message providing a count of employees before and after the synchronization attempt.
  Cause:
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the employee data between the source and target systems, which can prevent successful synchronization.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the SAP system or in the middleware used for synchronization can lead to incomplete data transfer.
  Network Issues: Temporary network issues or connectivity problems can interrupt the synchronization process.
  Authorization Problems: The user or service account performing the synchronization may not have the necessary permissions to access all employee records.
  Batch Processing Limits: If the synchronization process is set to handle a limited number of records at a time, it may not process all employees in one go.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Consistency: Review the employee data in both the source and target systems for any inconsistencies or errors. Ensure that all required fields are populated correctly.
  Review Configuration Settings: Verify the configuration settings for the synchronization process. Ensure that all necessary parameters are set correctly.

  Verify Authorizations: Ensure that the user or service account has the necessary authorizations to access and synchronize all employee records.
  Increase Batch Size: If applicable, consider increasing the batch size for synchronization to ensure that more records are processed in a single run.
  Run Synchronization Again: After addressing any identified issues, attempt to run the synchronization process again to see if the problem persists.
