Symptom
Onboardees are receiving error messages once they submit their "Personal Data Collection" step.
Error message - "An application error occurred. error id: xxx, timestamp: xxx. Please try again later, or notify support if the issue keeps occurring."
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Log in as a candidate
- Attempt to submit the "Personal Data Collection" step
- Encounter the application error
Cause
This is happening due to a mismatch in the start dates in the new hire data (for example 08/05 in Provide Personal Data page) compared to the ONB2Process object (for example 08/12 in Manage Data > Process > Search userid).
Resolution
- Go to "Manage Data" > "Process"
- Search the candidate by using process id or user id
- Find the start date
- Go to Dashboard to find the candidate
- Click "Action", then click "New Hire Data"
- Change the start date to the same as in ONB2Process
- Save
