Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to Admin Center > Maintain Onboarding and Offboarding Document Templates.
  2. Upload an .xdp document.
  3. Observe the error:
    ChangeSet index 1 - ???Error during placeholder extraction. The uploaded template was therefore deleted. - HCP Error Message: Http Status Code 500???
  4. Upload the same document as a .pdf = Successful

Cause

The issue is caused by a PFS misconfiguration, where the existing PFS URL/account does not currently support .xdp files.

Resolution

The OData service endpoint must be configured to support .xdp files.

To proceed:

  1. Please create a support case with SAP Support, providing the PFS credentials.
  2. SAP Support will create an Operations ticket to update the OData service endpoint configuration.
