Steps taken to troubleshoot the issue:

Please note: Before following the steps please take a backup of your Profile and Sync DB.

Ø Followed the TechNet article to Reset profile synchronization’ : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff681014.aspx

Ø Rebooted the APP sever after the reset and added the Farm account on Sync DB as dbo owner ( Per TechNet article) on SQL server.

Ø Started the profile synchronization service on APP server.

Ø Made sure the profile service started successfully without any errors.

Ø Checked the User profile application and found that the profiles connection got removed automatically (Expected behaviour after the Reset Sync Instance).

Ø Created a new profile connection successfully without any error (Unable to process Create message )

Ø After that I am able to edit/modify/update the profile connection without any error J

Cheers!
