Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
- SAP SuccessFactors Learning
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a user purge request
- Go to Purge Request Monitor
- The request just created will not be shown on "Requests Pending Initial Approval" tab
- Go to "Purge Progress & Results" tab
- You will see the purge request with status "Failed"
If you click the approved below the "Failed" high lighted, you will see as if the purge is on reviewing by the approvers:
Cause
- Learning is enabled in Provisioning > Company Settings > But no Learning URL is configured (there is a misconfiguration).
- User submitting purge does not have Learning admin permissions and/or does not have a matching user in Learning.
- User being purged do not have a matching user in Learning
Resolution
Resolution for cause #1:
Ensure that the BizX - Learning integration is properly configured.
In some cases, Learning is enabled in Provisioning > Company Settings > However there's no Learning URL configured.
This will result in the purge automatically failing. Please refer to KBA 2318325 for further details on BizX - Learning integration.
Resolution for cause #2:
User in BizX scheduling the DRTM Master Data Purge/Purge Inactive user should have the following permissions in Learning:
- View User - to view the report.
- Delete User - to delete the user.
Additionally, the user must have an admin user in Learning, as referenced in KBA 2103344.
The user ID in Learning must match the user ID in BizX (download the UDF to confirm) and match the admin ID in Learning (BizX user ID = Learning user ID = Learning admin ID).
