2731175 - Integration: SuccessFactors Maintenance / Release Window and Service Impact Issues

Symptom

The purpose of the document is to highlight potential symptoms which can result from maintenance windows and / or service disruptions.

One (or more) of the below listed symptoms may be observed when SuccessFactors is undergoing maintenance or experiencing a partial service disruption:

  • One or more integrations are failing within a particular period
  • One of your scheduled integrations did not execute (no errors just lack of execution)
  • You cannot login to your SuccessFactors instance
  • You are receiving 'Company is invalid' or 'Company Not Found' error messages
  • You cannot find the desired company in the launchpad when creating a ticket with cloid support
  • HTTP 5XX error (Server Errors)
  • HTTP 4XX errors

Environment

  • SuccessFactors HCM
  • Dell Boomi
  • SAP Cloud Integration
  • Launchpad

Cause

  • The symptoms that have been described above may be related to SAP maintenance procedures
  • When SF servers are down for mainentnace they may be unreachable and result in any of the above described symptoms
  • This could be a scheduled maintenance window, quarterly release window or service impact / disruption

Resolution

In the event of such circumstances, if your issue is in fact a result of the above described causes, there is no action needed from the customer side:

 

  • Any integrations that have failed during this window will not experience any data deviation / loss, all of the data since the last successful replication run will be picked up
  • Jobs that did not execute according to the set schedule, this could be a result of HANA migration processes. If your system is not scheduled for HANA migration and jobs are failing to execute, pleaee log a ticket with LOD-SF-INT
  • Once the maintenance processes / procedures are completed, you will be able to access you SuccessFactors instance again
  • 'Company is invalid' / 'Company Not Found' error messages will no longer appear once the data center, on which maintenance is being performed, is completed
  • The desired company / instance should be available in the launchpad, once maintenance procedures /processes have completed
  • It is advised to review SAP latest SAP Maintenance notifications to determine if the experienced outage falls within the specified maintenance window
  • You can also check Cloud Trust Center to determine if there is maintenance / outage within one of the SAP Data Centers or in relation to a particular SAP product

 

Please note:

In the event of service disruption situations, we are striving to take every action to restore functionality to your cloud products / integration processes.

We kindly request your patience as we collaborate internally to resolve such interruptions.

Thank you from the SAP SuccessFactors Team!
