Instance sync throws an error when pre-delivered MDF objects are synced
- Pre-delivered MDF objects include Time Off, that would be objects such as Holiday Calendar, Time Profile and Time Account Type.

Environment
-
SuccessFactors BizX
Reproducing the Issue
1. Navigate to Manage Sync Packages or Instance sync Tool
2. Sync the objects.
3. Sync fails with an error.
Cause
-
Instance sync triggers full purge that is, data in the target is first deleted and then re-created if it is already existing. An 'incremental' purge is triggered via import/export and thus the issue doesn't appear while doing the import.
Resolution
- This is a limit of the instance sync tool to sync pre-delivered MDF objects where it should ideally incrementally sync pre-delivered objects instead of trying to Full Purge replace them
To resolve this issue:
1. Export the objects from source and then import these into target as Incremental Load.
