Resolution

As a customer, you do not have access to Provisioning. Please engage a Certified Partner or SuccessFactors Product Support to implement the fix.
- Log into Provisioning
- Select Company Settings
- 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)
- Uncheck the box for the setting > Save Feature
- 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.
- Log into Provisioning
- Select Company Settings
- 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)

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.
