Symptom
The client is upserting data via the OData API into an EmpEmployment custom string and is receiving the following error:
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
- OData API
Reproducing the Issue
Upsert payload with a string length beyond the maximum allowed length of custom strings
Cause
1. The issue is custom strings have a max length of 256 character
2. This length cannot be extended beyond this in Manage Business configuration:
Resolution
- This is a hard coded limit and cannot be increase beyond 256 characters
- The upsert string must be less than or equal to 256 characters
- An enhancement request should be raised if the requirement is to set the length beyond the maximum allowable length
