3535239 - User Connector Failure Due to Duplicate Configuration Error for Field: TERM_DTE in SAP SuccessFactors Learning

• The User connector processing data previously without any issues, started throwing exceptions as "duplicate configured for field: TERM_DTE", while executing the new feed file.

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

• Prepare a feed file with one of the column header as "TERMINATED" & also do not give the EOL symbol after adding all the headers(sample as shown below).

• Map the field "TERM_DTE" from LMS to "TERMINATED" field from Biz-x as "user.field.mapping.data.TERM_DTE=TERMINATED" in Learning administration.
• Make sure the very first user record has column data as "Terminated" as shown in the above screenshot, under any of the columns & place the feed file in SFTP for the user connector to pick it up.
• Now schedule the User connector & see the results.
• You would then get an exception while processing the data with error statement as "duplicate configured for field: TERM_DTE".

1. Since the data in the feed file has the value as "Terminated" under a column for the very first user record & also the EOL symbol !##! is missing at the end of the header columns, the application is considering the header data along with the first user record as a single header. 
2. Also as the connector configuration has the mapping as "user.field.mapping.data.TERM_DTE=TERMINATED",  the connector is throwing the duplicate configuration error for termination date.

• Add the EOL symbol !##! for the header data which would resolve the issue.
