Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log into HCM > navigate to Learning Administration > System Administration > Connectors > Download Connector Template >
  2. Select 'Download Template (only mapped columns)' > Item Connectors > download both 'item_data_company ID' and 'content_module_data_company ID' template >
  3. Map the 'NOTACTIVE' column to 'N' on both files >
  4. Upload the files to the proper SFTP folder >
  5. Run the Item Connector >
  6. Go back to the System Administration > Content > Content Objects > search for the content object in question > notice that 'Content Object is active' remains unchecked.

Cause

  • 'Content Object is active' is controlled by APP_NOTACTIVE which is in the 'item_data_company ID' template;
  • If uploading Only 1 Content Object Per Item, administrator should only use 'item_data_company ID' template.

Resolution

  1. Navigate to Learning Administration > System Administration > Connectors > Download Connector Template >
  2. Select 'Download Template (all columns)' > Item Connectors > item_module_data_company ID >
  3. Map the item and content object accordingly, then map the 'APP_NOTACTIVE' column to N >
  4. Upload the files to the proper SFTP folder >
  5. Run the Item Connector.

NOTE: Learning connectors can import thousands of entities in the system, so we highly recommend that customers engage with our Professional Services organization or a certified Learning implementation partner before attempting to use connectors or any data import. Additionally, it's recommended to always test in a Stage/Preview tenant first.
