2355830 - How to refresh metadata of restricted Odata MDF entities? - SuccessFactors Integrations

The following error message is received for a restricted entity: "OData Service get (restricted entity) Failed, Error status: error, error thrown: internal server error"

• OData

Restricted entities cannot be directly called by customers. They are internal to successfactors which are triggered while interacting with specific MDF objects.
As an example, if you change field properties of the field "overrideGuidelineAmountMsg" in SpotAwardProgramAdvancedSettings MDF entity, it would trigger a restricted api call internally.

So any such changes requires a refresh in the restricted metadata.

Examples of Restricted OData API entities

• CustomTile
• FormCustomSection
• UserGroup

Please make an API call as indicated below to refresh the restricted category of MDF entities.
