3280594 - [2H 2022] Notification count in BizX header bell icon switching between different numbers - SAP SuccessFactors

Symptom

The notification count in the BizX header bell icon alternates between few different numbers upon logging in or proxying as another user.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  • Login or Proxy as any user who has some notifications in the To Do panel.
  • Check the notification bell icon 
  • It will alternate between few numbers when the page loads, before finally settling in on the correct number of notifications.

Cause

This is expected behavior.

The header has multiple layers of caches to save data and processing to only when needed. There is a cache on the browser level and also on server level when page loads.

When a user logs in to get new session or clicks on the Bell icon to load the To-Do panel, it hits the server directly to collect the most current data. While the new session loads, the cached data is collected and displayed first, hence causing the alteration between the different numbers before finally settling on the correct number.

Resolution
