2994194 - XML Output job is creating multiple files - Integration center

Symptom

You have created an XML Output job in Integration Center and multiple files are being generated when it executed, while you were expecting that only one file would be created.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
    • Integration Center

Cause

The "Destination Page Size" is not tuned up with the amount of records inserted into the output file.

Resolution

If you go to "Options" tab when editing the Integration Center job, you'll be able to see an option called "Destination Page Size":

This option will delimit the number of records that will be written in the output file. If your integration is writing a number of records greater than the Destination Page Size, than more than one output file is generated to supply the amount of records. For example: your Destination Page Size is set as 10, but your integration is returning 15 records. The result: 2 output files are created, one with 10 records and another with 5.

You can increase the Destination Page Size value by following the steps of the KBA below:

Note: the max number of Destination Page Size is 2500, according to the Integration Center Guide.
