2529259 - Error Message : com.plateausystems.connector.api.ConnectorException: Field does not exist: $ ARBITRARY_CUSTOM_COLUMN $ while running Class Connector

Symptom

Receiving error message "com.plateausystems.connector.api.ConnectorException: Field does not exist: $ ARBITRARY_CUSTOM_COLUMN $ " while running Class connector

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create an input file for Class connector.
  2. Ensure that you have additional custom column in the feed file (i.e. a column other than the standard 5 custom columns).
  3. Place the input file on SFTP.
  4. Schedule the Class connector.
  5. Check connector results and you will see the error message "com.plateausystems.connector.api.ConnectorException: Column does not exist: $ ARBITRARY_CUSTOM_COLUMN $ "

Cause

The Class connector supports only 5 standard custom fields .Since the feed file has additional custom column, this is causing the connector to throw the error.

Resolution

The Class connector only supports the standard 5 custom columns and there is no configuration to change this.

Please see 2090228 to raise an enhancement request on changing the behavior.
