• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XMS_ADM017 - Current configuration differs from system landscape ?

  The SAP error message XMS_ADM017 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the current configuration of the SAP system and the expected configuration in the system landscape. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) or when managing system configurations in SAP environments.
