Symptom
When viewing the item connector columns, only 3 categories are present. Is there a way to be able to add more than 3 categories to a item? If there is, what will need to be done to achieve that ability to add more than 3 categories to a item through the item connector?
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Learning Management System (LMS)
Resolution
In order to update more than 3 categories for a list of items, the item connector needs to be run multiple times.
Example:
Say you have Item ABC and you wish to assign categories A,B,C,D,E,F to the item
To achieve this, we need to run the item connector twice:
- For the first run, the feed file would look like:
CPNT_ID|CPNT_TYP_ID|REV_DTE|NOTACTIVE|CPNT_TITLE|SUBJ_AREA_1|SUBJ_AREA_2|SUBJ_AREA_3!##!
ABC|ILT|AUG-17-2017 12:05:30|N|ABC|A|B|C!##!
The above feed file would attach categories A,B,C to Item ABC - For the second run, the feed file would look like:
CPNT_ID|CPNT_TYP_ID|REV_DTE|NOTACTIVE|CPNT_TITLE|SUBJ_AREA_1|SUBJ_AREA_2|SUBJ_AREA_3!##!
ABC|ILT|AUG-17-2017 12:05:30|N|ABC|D|E|F!##!
The above feed file would attach categories D,E,F to Item ABC without overwriting the existing categories in the item.
The same process can be followed in case there are more categories.
