Symptom
When previewing an Adhoc report, the system throws an Application Error with a fingerprint ID such as:
- fingerprint: 0e93efd4-8c91-4b5f-b992-02686001478b
- fingerprint: e29a3f2ac405a11269257efd8a4c037c6813089c
Additional behaviors observed:
- Running the report offline results in an empty file being downloaded.
- Running the report online causes it to remain in a continuous loading state without completing.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Build an Adhoc Report.
- Try viewing its preview.
- An Application Error is displayed, and the Splunk logs show an error similar to:
Multiple parents have been defined for ectint.*
Note to SAP Cloud Product Support: Please review the internal memo for detailed Splunk logs.
Cause
This issue occurs when the same HRIS field is defined in multiple elements.
Example:
If the field pay-group is defined in both jobInfo and compInfo, the system will display the error message.
Resolution
- In Manage Business Configuration (BCUI), set the visibility of the duplicate field to None in one of the elements.
- If the field needs to be available in both elements only to handle country-specific data, ensure that the field is instead added either to:
- the CSF-Succession Data Model, or
- the corresponding country-specific element in BCUI (Manage Business Configuration).
