Resolution

I. Enable OpenText Integration setting is enabled in Provisioning when third-party provider is not being used

As a customer, you do not have access to Provisioning. Please engage a Certified Partner or SuccessFactors Product Support to implement the fix.

  1. Log into Provisioning
  2. Select Company Settings
  3. Search for Enable OpenText Integration (Requires "Enable the Attachment Manager", "Enable Generic Objects", and "Enable RBP") (Warning: this feature is for third-party storage provider integration only)
  4. Uncheck the box for the setting > Save Feature
  5. Enter Company ID

II. Enable OpenText Integration setting is not enabled in Provisioning when third-party provider is being used

As a customer, you do not have access to Provisioning. Please engage a Certified Partner or SuccessFactors Product Support to implement the fix.

  1. Log into Provisioning
  2. Select Company Settings
  3. Search for Enable OpenText Integration (Requires "Enable the Attachment Manager", "Enable Generic Objects", and "Enable RBP") (Warning: this feature is for third-party storage provider integration only)
  4. Check the box for the setting > Save Feature
  5. Enter Company ID


III. SuccessFactors cannot connect to the third-party server

Third party issues cannot be addressed by SuccessFactors Product Support, and instead the third-party vendor will need to be contacted to view the connection to their server.

If your third-party provider is OpenText, please open a case under component XX-PART-OPT-ECM-CLD.

Note: 
If no error message is displayed and you are still unable to add attachments, ensure that the Maximum Attachment File Size is configured appropriately in Company Settings.
