Reproducing the Issue

  6. Click the Save button in Executive Review.
  7. Navigate back to the Compensation Worksheets or Executive Review and you will see no data has been updated.
  8. Even though in Monitor Jobs it states the plans were updated successfully.

Cause

This is caused by a ‘Wrapped Exception’ error.

  • Information on this can be accessed via Provisioning, where an error message is displayed: Fail to update any plan entries due to Wrapped Exception: Wrapped Exception: DAOException caught: SQLException caught: ORA-12899: value too large for column "DC4PRD_PM100"."COMP_ENTRY"."COMP_ENTRY_SAL_NOTES" (actual: 2200, maximum: 2048)
  • The error message is valid. The sytem will only accept a maximun of 2048 characters per notes field.
  • Exceeding this limit, will lead to this error message appearing in provisioning and no data getting updated in the UI.

Resolution

To resolve: reduce the characters in the field and upload again through the import and the data will get updated.
