3615416 - Picklist Management and Manage Picklist Migration Conflicts still showing in the instance

Symptom

  • Customer is reporting that Picklist Management and Manage Picklist Migration Conflicts is still showing in the instance
  • Customer is asking how to migrate legacy picklist to MDF

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Login to the instance using the support access provided
  2. Type Picklist in the search bar. You will see that "Picklist Management" and "Manage Picklist Migration Conflicts" are available.
  3. Go to Manage Picklist Migration Conflicts. It shows error: "" is of type string, expected sap.ui.core.MessageType for property "type" of Element sap.m.MessageStrip#__strip1
  4. Go to Picklist Center, you will see message: Legacy picklists have not been migrated yet. To manage them, go to Picklists Management

Cause

No action was done on the instance at the time of Picklist Migration. Migration conflicts should've been addressed then and since there were no actions taken, the instance is stuck with old legacy picklist (Picklist Management that was deprecated more than a year ago).

Resolution

Picklist Migration has been completed a few years ago. The engineering team will not carry out picklist migrations anymore.

The only way forward for this issue is to refresh the affected instance from a source instance that has been migrated already to MDF picklists.

You can reference this KBA for the steps on how to configure, permission, pair and schedule refreshes via IRT: https://me.sap.com/notes/2791468/E
