Symptom

  • The MDF Data Import (FTP) job was recovered with the message "The job was interrupted or failed unexpectedly but re-executed by the system"
  • How much data can I import using the MDF Data Import job?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM

Resolution

If not following the expected parameters, the MDF Data Import (FTP) job can exceed the memory limit of our servers, which will lead to either a failure or a recover of it. 

To avoid issues with the job, we highly recommend that the volume of data imported respects the limits stated on document Important Configuration Guidelines and Usage Limits | SAP Help Portal.

NOTE: The guide brings different parameters for picklists, MDF UIs, data purge, etc. So kindly evaluate the type of data being imported and check if each kind respects the limits.
