3321622 - Error with No two distinct competencies or behaviors have identical GUIDs. (Check ID: JDMDistinctCompetencyOrBehaviorSameGUID) - Job Description Manager

Symptom

When running the checks for Job Description Manager application in Admin Center > Check Tool, issue(s) for the check "JDMDistinctCompetencyOrBehaviorSameGUID" are found.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Job Description Manager

Cause

Job Profile Builder (JPB) creates locales but the reference is different with Job Description Manager (JDM)

Resolution

Competencies or behaviors will need to be corrected so they can have distinct GUIDs before you can proceed with migration to Job Profile Builder. The locales are pre-defined in the system and need to be removed, but the steps to correct this will be different depending on the migration status.

Scenario 1: JPB has not been enabled

You can manage competency data in Admin Center > Manage Competencies or via import in Admin Center > Competency Library Import tool. More information managing competencies in JDM can be accessed in the KBAs 2671389 - Import, Create or Move competencies or competency library in Job Description Manager (JDM) and 2230812 - Manage Competencies – Importing new Competencies.

Scenario 2: JPB has already been enabled

If JPB was already enabled for your instance, these corrections can only be made through Provisioning.

As a customer, you do not have access to Provisioning. Please engage a Certified Partner to assist with this configuration.

  1. Log in to Provisioning
  2. Select the company ID
  3. Look for the Default Language field
  4. Change the language to one of the languages from the Check Tool > Save Default Language
  5. Enter the company ID > Confirm
  6. Scroll to the top and select the company ID
  7. Select Competency Libraries
  8. Select the library name
  9. Delete any of the competencies or behaviors for this language that are mentioned in the Check Tool results
  10. Repeat the steps for each locale mentioned in Check Tool results
