Environment

SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create Message definition with parameter
  2. Create business rule and add message definition as error
  3. Associate business rule as on save in any object (for example, recurring deduction object)
  4. Make changes to the object accordingly to trigger business rule
  5. Error is triggered with blank message definition

Cause

Paramater defined in the Message Defintion text is not same as the Parameter external code

Example:

Message definition text:

This is sample {test}

Paramter external code is: TEST 

Resolution

Parameter code defined in message defintion should match external code of the paramater

As per above example, message definition should be:

This is sample {TEST}
