2501296 - Onboarding Isn't Picking Up Files from SFTP - Onboarding 1.0

Symptom

  • The sync file is sent SFTP, but Onboarding is not Picking up the file

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding 1.0

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Logon to SFTP
  2. Go to a folder where the sync files are sent
  3. View the Sync files

Cause

  • The file' name and/or extension are incorrect
  • SFTP credentials/folder do not match to settings in Super admin site/Features/"Foundation Import" feature

Resolution

The file' name and/or extension are incorrect:

     - Go to Onboarding Super admin site/"Import/Export Settings" and download "FoundationImport" file
     - Open the file in any text editor and find necessary section. For example for user sync, it will be "SuccessFactorsUserImport"
     - Check the property "FileMask". Usually it will be like "{AccountName}_User*.csv" (example for user sync). 
{AccountName} is Onboarding instance ID and "*"  is any symbols.

   If your ONB instance ID is "MyONBInstance", the file name should be MyONBInstance_User01012021.csv or just MyONBInstance_User.csv

SFTP credentials/folder do not match to settings in Super admin site/Features/"Foundation Import" feature

      Please compare SFTP credentials and folder in place where you set schedule for sync and in Super admin site/Features/"Foundation Import". If you see difference, please do changes in necessary place.
