2626222 - 'Entity does not exist' error in Domain Connector - LMS

Symptom

  • Error code 1102 encountered when adding or updating the domains using the Domain Connector
  • Completion status shows: 'FAIL - All records were rejected'
  • Viewing the error logs: 'WARN - Some records were rejected' with error “Entity does not exist. Parent Domain does not exist in the LMS, the new Domain was not added in the LMS”,while the parent domain is actually existing in the system.

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

Environment

SuccessFactors Learning Management System (LMS)

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Upload your connector data file to SFTP server;
  2. Login to LMS admin page and run domain connector
  3. View results of connector execution, the Completion Status shows 'FAIL - All records were rejected' (or 'WARN - Some records were rejected') > click to view details, the error message says “Entity does not exist. Parent Domain does not exist in the LMS, the new Domain was not added in the LMS”

Cause

  • '!##!' symbol is missing at the end of record in the data file, which causes records not recognized correctly.
  • As a result the records will be rejected by system with error message “Entity does not exist. Parent Domain does not exist in the LMS, the new Domain was not added in the LMS”.

Resolution

Make sure the '!##!' symbol is added at the end of each record as same as header in your connector data file.

DMN_ID|DMN_DESC|DMN_ID_PARENT!##!
testdomain||Parent!##!
