3211948 - MDF attachment import in validation mode will fail

Customer has configured a rule to validate "attachment" data type field of a MDF object and do a MDF attachment import in validation mode, however the validation import will fail.

SuccessFactors HXM Suite

1. customer has configured a rule to validate "attachment" data type field of a MDF object
2. go to Import and Export Data
3. do a MDF attachment zip import in validation mode
4. in monitor job, the result is that this import is failed.

This is expected behavior. The root cause is that when do Validate for the import file,system will not do the real upload of the attachment, hence the validation for the attachment related rule will fail. This is by design.

Please do Real Import instead of Validate.
