2420059 - "Export Failed" error when exporting files from Manage Documents

Symptom

  • Users cannot export multiple files from File Storage Document/Manage Documents
  • Users receive the error "Export Failed. Please try again."

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to the Manage Documents tool.
  2. Select one or more files for downloading/exporting.
  3. Click the option to export/download.
  4. An error message, "Export Failed. Please try again", will appear.

Cause

The export size limit is 50 MB. Exceeding this limit will cause the error.

Resolution

Increasing the export limit is not possible, but a bulk download to SFTP can be performed.

The bulk download for attachments feature enables offline downloads in bulk and allows users to view their download history. Requests are downloaded to a secure location established through configured SFTP settings. This feature supports up to 20 simultaneous downloads in BizX, with each download limited to a total file size of 5 GB, and allows up to 10 concurrent download requests per user.

For detailed guidance on performing a mass download of attachments, one should consult the Downloading Documents in Bulk section on the SAP Help Portal.
