II. Clear the Metadata Cache
- Global Benefits: Configuration Guide - Getting Started - Refresh Metadata Cache
- SAP SuccessFactors What's New Viewer - More Jobs on Job Monitor in Scheduled Job Manager
Note:
- Users can only directly run this job using "Run It Now" option, it is not possible to schedule this job to a future date.
- With synchronization wizard, the business rules are synced with MDF objects automatically. How about sync from Configuration Center?
- ==>Business rules are now not supported in Configuration Center.. Please refer to [Platform] section of this guide: Limitations and Important Notes While Using Configuration Center
- After MDF object has been moved to Configuration Center, what will be the expected order to sync in Configuration Center ?
- ==>The recommended sync order about MDF should always be: MDF objects > those Object related references, like business rules, UIs, MDF data.etc
You may still refer to the instance sync recommended order to perform the sync: 2088055 - SuccessFactors Instance Synchronization Feature Guide & Need to Know Information
Recommended Sync Order:
- MDF Picklist (moved to Configuration Center)
- Data Model
- Foundation Objects
- Workflow (Route Maps) (moved to Configuration Center), Workflow Groups
- MDF Object Definition (moved to Configuration Center)
- MDF Configuration UI
- MDF Rules
- MDF Data
- RBP Permission Groups
