GLPRDB050E Attribute ibm-primaryEmail was not found in the schema definition.

Hmmm, having got Business Cards ( aka Person Cards ) working between Connections and Portal yesterday, I was somewhat surprised when things stopped working.

Although I hadn't been specifically looking at Business Cards, I realised that my modifications to WIM had gone awry when I used the Edit My Profile portlet and noticed that the user's email address was no longer correctly specified. When I tried to update the profile, I got the following set of exceptions: -

When I checked wimconfig.xml the line that mapped the LDAP attribute mail to the WIM attribute ibm-primaryEmail was no longer there.

Therefore, I needed re-run the mapping process: -

./ConfigEngine.sh wp-update-federated-ldap-attribute-config -DWasPassword=passw0rd

Once I restarted the portal cluster, I was back in the game.
