SAP SuccessFactors Employee Profile

1. Open the instance; 
2. Go to Configure People Profile; 
3. Create a new Custom Blocks > Live Profile Background; 

4. Add a Attachment Background Element; 
5. Open the Employee Profile; 
6. See the portlet just loading. 

This issue is caused by the wrong configuration when you create the field in Manage Business Configuration (BCUI) or XML.

1. Open the Manage Business Configuration (BCUI);  
2. Search the field that you want to add attachments; 
3. Create the right configuration to the document-type-id docName and attachment: 

• You need to use the document-type-id="ATTACHMENTS" just in the data-field id="attachment", not in the docName. If you use the document type wrong, you'll experience the problem in the People Profile.
