2596770 - Pre-delivered MDF objects throws an error on Instance Sync Tool

Symptom

  • 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.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental. 

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.
