Environment

SAP Successfactors HCM Suite

Boomi (via HTTP Connector)
CPI
PI
Direct Query from Client

Cause

- Incorrect API endpoint url is used or maintained. For example, https://hcmxx.sapsf.com or (https://hcm17.sapsf.com/sfapi/v1/soap ) which is actually the Bizx/Frontend Login URL, instead of https://apiXX.sapsf.com (e.g. https://api17.sapsf.com/sfapi/v1/soap)

- Invalidated JSESSIONID due to improper routing / handling of the recipient server (Customer Facing Server instead of the API/SOAP Server)

For the full list of Bizx frontend login URL see 2412791 - Success Factors URL's for Production and Test on all Data Centres

Resolution

Maintain correct API endpoint URL on PI / Middleware. See below table or refer to 2215682 - Successfactors API URLs for different Data Centers

- Use correct API URL end point, So the calls will get routed through API Management Server properly so that the server is able to route the API requests and process the SESSIONID properly.
