Symptom

  • Custom MDF block/portlet is showing No data for certain users. 
  • No data on custom MDF portlet on people profile.
  • Attachment field in custom MDF not showing after saving.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Check the affected portlet/object in Manage Data or Employee Profile;
  2. See the No Data present for the user;
  3. Enter an entry/attachment into the portlet and Save;
  4. See the 'No data' still present or attachment does not appear as attached;

Cause

Problematic rules configure on the object causing this issue:

  • OnSave rule configured that sets the effective start date.
  • OnChange rule being used for attachment field.

Resolution

Since it can have more than one case, check the below possible fixes for it:

  • Remove the rule that set the effective start date, so that no future data corruptions can occur.
  • The OnChange rule is not supported for attachment field types. For the attachment fields 

Fix the existing data corruptions - this may need to be done with our Engineering if removing the problematic rule is not affective in solving the issue. Please create a ticket under LOD-SF-MDF-RUL to correct the data corruption.
