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

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create new user
  2. Sync users from BizX to IAS via IPS sync 
  3. Notice users are not transferred to IAS

Cause

  • The sync job has not been ran since the user was added
  • The set property 'ips.trace.failed.entity.content' is not set to 'true', preventing additional information from the logs to appear

Resolution

  1. Enable Detailed Error Logging: Set the property ips.trace.failed.entity.content to be 'true' in the target and source system



  2. Go to the Jobs tab and rerun the IPS sync job.
  3. Monitor Job Execution under Identity Provisioning > Provisioning Logs to track the job’s progress.
  4. Once the job is finished, open it and download the error logs
  5. Analyze failed records:
    • Search for the affected users within the logs
    • Identify the root cause of the synchronization failure
    • Copy the error message
  6. Search for KBAs using the error message in Services & Support - SAP for Me for relevant troubleshooting KBAs.
  7. If you are unable to find a KBA or if you need further assistance, create a case under component LOD-SF-PLT-IPS and provide the information below:
