2571206 - Validation Failed: Subject has no form - Calibration

Symptom

Unable to validate calibration session due to "Subject has no form" error message.

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

Environment

Calibration

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to Admin Center
  2. Go to Calibration > Manage Calibration Sessions
  3. Create or open a session
  4. In Validation tab, error message displayed "Validation Failed! Subject has no form"

Cause

  • You are calibrating Performance forms and a form does not exist for the subject.
  • You are calibrating Performance forms and forms have not been routed to the specified calibration route map step.
  • You are calibrating Performance forms and you confirmed that a form was launched for the calibration subject but there's still a "Validation Failed! Subject has no form" error.

Resolution

  1. In Manage Calibration Templates under Data tab, check the performance form template linked to the affected calibration template.

  2. Verify if the affected subject has performance form already. If none, launch a form then validate the calibration session again.
    • If the form was launched for the calibration subject but there's still a "Validation Failed! Subject has no form" error, check if the PM form already passed the calibration step.
    • If the PM form already passed the calibration step you will still encounter the "Validation Failed! Subject has no form" error.
  3. Ensure that the performance form for the subject is in the calibration routing step you specified before validating the session.

NOTE:
If all the above-mentioned points are in place and the issue still persists, please ensure that no changes have been made to the route map after the linked PM forms have been launched.

This is because the Calibration Template always refers to the current version of the Form Template and Route Map configurations at time of validation. If the forms were launched using an older version of the route map, and the configuration has since changed, the system may fail to recognize the launched forms due to discrepancies in the form or route map setup.

Best Practice:
When planning to launch a calibration process, please ensure that no changes are made to the Form Template or Route Map after the form launch. This helps maintain configuration consistency and prevents issues during the calibration setup.
