Symptom
RCM Entity Anonymization job is failing. When accessing Provisioning and checking the details for the job you can see the following error:
"NumberFormatException: For input string: "Anonymized"
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Cause
The error indicates that there is a misconfiguration of mismatch type for one or more fields in the Job Application Template. It causes a data issue at code level within the RCM Entity Anonymization Job.
Resolution
One of possible misconfiguration is set a field that supposed to be Standard as a Custom one. The system will refer to the type of standard one and this can cause conflict if the custom field has a different type configured.
For example, the standard field "minAnnualSal" which type is number has been incorrectly configured as custom="true" and type="text" in job application template.
Another possible configuration issue is that there is a custom field in the application template with the field ID "applicationId":
- A different value should be used, for example id="customApplicationId". The recommendation is to remove the field definition or by renaming the “id” value to a different value than “applicationId”, for exampe id="customApplicationId".
- Another solution is to change the field definition to anonymize="false".
- After making the necessary changes to the template, run the RCM Entity Anonymization Job.
Please reach out to your Partner to have your configuration reviewed accordingly.
