2538899 - LMS catalog error "Unable to connect to JAM to retrieve search results"

Symptom

The BizX/JAM integration within Learning is set up correctly. The user has the proper authorizations to access JAM. However, at the moment a search is performed in the catalog, a popup error is thrown. The error is related to JAM.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Access BizX >
  2. Go to Learning as a user >
  3. In the catalog box, try to search for any item and click "Ok" or hit "Enter" >
  4. The search page will load and a popup error will be thrown with the following message:

    JAM Error.jpg

Cause

The affected user did not accept the "Terms and Conditions of JAM". If JAM is not integrated with the environment, it is enabled in the Learning side.

Resolution

The user needs to access JAM and accept the Terms and Conditions. With it, if the integrations are correct and if the user has the proper authorizations, the error will not happen anymore.

To check the relevant integrations, please see:
