Example 3: Add a new attribute mapping to the synchronization rules
Request
The following example shows a request. The synchronizationSchema has a one-to-many relationship between targetAttributeName and source attributes. If your schema doesn't have "timezone" as a target attribute, the service adds a new mapping for extensionAttribute11 --> timezone. If your application has timezone as a target attribute in the schema, the service throws an error because an attribute can only be mapped as a target once. In addition, the attribute must exist in the schema before it can be added to the mappings.
