Symptoms
You have a running User Profile synchronization Service, configured with an Active Directory connection and in addition a Business Data Catalog (BDC or also known as Business Connectivity Service - BCS). You have the User profiles from the Active Dirtectory connection mapped to the Business Data Catalog by using the "Work Email" property to fill in additonal properties from the BDC into the Profile Import. After the first Full Import the Synchronization Service get stuck and in Application Event log you will find the following Error:

This Error will be logged for each User from Import.
Cause
This is expected behavior at the time of creation of this article. Here it is related to the "Title" field in User profile property in SharePoint.
This error occurs when you try to flow 2 metaverse attributes to the same attribute in the connected directory. Since The 'Title' and 'SPS_title fields' are indeed mapped in FIM Internally, another mapping to the 'Title' field via BCS is not allowed. Usually the ForeFront User Interface does not allow this but the SharePoint UI does and hence the issue. If you need to Import the 'Title' field from a BCS source create a New custom Property and map it accordingly .
Resolution
To workaround this issue, please follow the steps below to remove the Mapping for 'Title' property with a BCS field :
-
In SharePoint Server 2010, click Central Administration in the navigation pane, and then click Manage service applications on the Application Management menu.
-
Select User Profile Service Application, and in the Ribbon bar, click Manage to reach the Manage Profile Service page
-
In the People section, click Manage User Properties
-
Under Basic Information section find the title property and click on Edit
-
On the Edit User Profile Property page, scroll down to the section Policy Mapping for Syncronization and remove all mappings which are present
-
Click on Ok to Save.
-
lease start a new Full Import via Central Administration - Manage service applications - User Profile Service Application - Manage Profile Service page.
