Cause
In order to run the Position to job Info sync we need TechnicalParameters in the file. If the file does not have TechnicalParameters the sync will not trigger.
Resolution
Please note that if you want to trigger a synchronization when you're importing positions, add the "technicalParameters" column to your position import file. For please follow:
- Go to Configure Object Definitions
- Search for Position
- find the field "technicalParameters" click details
- Set it to Visible.
Enter "SYNC" as the value for the "technicalParameters" column to those position record that are to trigger a synchronization to the jobInfo object .
The synchronization is carried out on the effective start date of the corresponding position record.
Please Note:
- By standard, the Position to Job Information Sync is not triggered on Position Imports from OData/API.
- To Use Position to Job Sync via API please refer to Configuration Settings for the User Interface, Imports and APIs in Position Management session in the Implementation guide.
