After completing the necessary data collection tasks in Onboarding, the document flow step does not trigger to allow candidates to sign the forms.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Onboard a candidate.
- As a manager, complete the New Hire Data Review Step.
- As a candidate, complete Personal Data Collection and Additional Data Collection Steps.
- Check the selected Process Variant, document flow should be triggered by now.
- Documents are not generated for signing.
Cause
- Cause 1: Customer is using Open Text Integration for Document Management Service, there is an error during document storage in attachment service.
- Cause 2: Documents are corrupted in Maintain Onboarding and Offboarding Templates, therefore they won't trigger.
- Cause 3: PFS issue, Password is expired.
- Cause 4: One affected form has duplicated placeholders which are affecting all forms to trigger.
Resolution
- Solution 1: 3455540 - E-signature is not triggering for candidates - Onboarding - SAP for Me
- Solution 2: Go to "Maintain Onboarding and Offboarding Templates" try to open any Documents, an error is display and you cannot open any of them.
However, if uploading a new document it's working properly, the old documents are corrupted, therefore they need to be uploaded again in order to trigger. This issue might happen after a PFS issue related.
- Solution 3: Try to upload a document in "Maintain Onboarding and Offboarding Templates", error pops up: "ChangeSet index 1 - ???HCP Error Message: Https Status Code 401, Unauthorized???;File could not be uploaded to PFS", the PFS password must be reset as it is expired:
-
- With the P-User/S-User saved on Provisioning, open: SAP Help Portal: Forgot My Password and fill the "E-Mail, ID, or Login Name" field
- An email notification will be send to the email requested on the P-User/S-User creation
- Reset the password
- The new password must be saved on Provisioning side. You can whether ask your Partner or contact the SAP Onboarding Support to do so.
- Solution 4: We cannot use 2 placeholder with the same field name in the same form. In Manage Data > Process > check how forms appear as "0".
Please kindly follow below steps:
- Correct the form template: you can rename the second placeholder and maintain its mapping configuration.
- Go to BPE Monitor Process and search for Variant onboardingProcessID=123456 (change number for candidate's process ID).
- There will be an "unfinished" task for Document Block, click on it and you'll be able to find the Job ID.
- Go to BPE: Manage Process Tasks >> filter with found Job Id.
- Click on the "Restart Task" button
