3449238 - Error in Boomi Cost Center replication package: java.lang.String is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap'

The error below is occurring in your Boomi package "Packaged Integration: ERP to EC Cost Center Replication v2.0":

SEVERE    Connector    EC SFAPI Connection: successfactorsmaster-Q2Q93V-SFSF-priv_prod Connector; OP EC Upsert Cost Center    0 class java.lang.String cannot be cast to class com.successfactors.json.JSONObject (java.lang.String is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap'; com.successfactors.json.JSONObject is in unnamed module of loader com.boomi.connector.factory.ConnectorManager$ConnectorClassLoader @61a51f09)  

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

• Boomi

This error occurs when the Cost Center data coming from the ERP system contains a record that has duplicate time slices with same start date and end date. For example, when looking at Boomi's payload you would see:

<E101ODTF_S_COST_CENTER_DATA SEGMENT="1">
    ...
    <REMOTE_OBJECT_ID>123456</REMOTE_OBJECT_ID>
    ...
    <E101ODTF_S_COST_CENTER_ATTR SEGMENT="1">
        ...
        <VALIDITY_PERIOD_START_DATE>20200101</VALIDITY_PERIOD_START_DATE>
        <VALIDITY_PERIOD_END_DATE>20240101</VALIDITY_PERIOD_END_DATE>
    ...
    <E101ODTF_S_COST_CENTER_ATTR SEGMENT="1">
        ...
        <VALIDITY_PERIOD_START_DATE>20200101</VALIDITY_PERIOD_START_DATE>
        <VALIDITY_PERIOD_END_DATE>20240101</VALIDITY_PERIOD_END_DATE>

Here in the example above we have the Cost Center with ID "123456" having two time slices with start date = 2020-01-01 and end date = 2024-01-01, causing the error.

So please review the data coming from your ERP system and make sure that there aren't any Cost Center records containing such duplicate time slices.
