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

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

1. Go to Admin Center
2. Go to Instance Refresh
3. Status shows as "Completed with warning"

These warnings are Displayed when any of below warnings occur. The warnings do not effect the successful status completion of the refresh and can be resolved by following the steps outlined in 1-9 depending on which message you have encountered.

List of Warnings:

1. There are traces of audit logs in the target instance from the source instance after refresh is complete.

These logs might appear in your audit reports and the target instance will function as expected. Download the error log file and contact SAP Cloud Support with the log file under component LOD-SF-PLT-IRT 

2. The User Sync process from HXM Suite to Learning failed. This might cause user data inconsistencies between HXM Suite and Learning. 

• Please check Employee Export job for error code within provisioning. A common reason for this job to fail post refresh is that the job owner will get restored in the target instance post refresh which means if the job owner no longer exists in the Newly refreshed instance the job will fail with "Invalid job owner this is outlined on the KBA 2791468 - Instance Refresh Tool & FAQ Symptom
  
• Another reason is that User Connector-SF in target LMS tenant was not enabled prior to Instance Refresh.  You can ignore the warning message and run User Connector-SF manually after the refresh. Next time if you want the users to be in sync right after the refresh, please have the User Connector - SF enabled prior to the refresh.

3. The user export job cannot be found.

• This used to be a warning message before 2H 2023. Starting from 2H 2023 this is an error that could stop IRT refresh from starting when LMS exists on the source system [Reference: Enhancements to Refresh Status Information in Instance Refresh | SAP Help Portal  ]. This message represent Four main things:

1. The job is not existing in the target pre-refresh
2. The job was not submitted
3. The job owner set for the export job is not existing in the target instance
4. The job exists on the target but the checkbox "Required for SuccessFactors Learning sync and SAP Jam manual sync" is not enabled. 

• The resolution is to create a new Employee Export Job, and to this please engage partner or contact SAP Cloud Support under component LOD-SF-PLT-JOBS with the information described on KBA 2716723 
  
• If you are not using Employee Export to sync your users from bizX to LMS, we expect that you create one also on the source system -> a valid BizX/LMS integration should always have an Export job configured in provisioning ✅ 
  

4. Data anonymization is incomplete.

Some of the fields with personally identifiable information might exist in the target instance without being masked after the refresh completed. There is no action required here this is an informational message only. 

5. Rebuilding of indexes which is required for efficient searches.  

This can slow down your search. Download the error log file and contact SAP Cloud Support with the log file under component LOD-SF-PLT-IRT

6. E-mail masking failed.

Masking the internal users with provided input parameter are successful, while creating the refresh request fails. This failure can result in sending emails to real users with reference to test job executions. Download the error log file and contact SAP Cloud Support with the log file under component LOD-SF-PLT-IRT
