3662560 - Compensation standard story reports showing "Internal error occurred while processing" error message

Symptom

Standard story reports for Compensation and Variable pay are showing up internal server error when previewing the query or in story view intermittently for SF_COM_Gender_Pay_Gap_Analysis_v2.0 or SF_COM_Annual_Compensation_Analysis_v2.0 reports

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors 
    • Analytics & Reporting  (Ad Hoc, YouCalc, ORD)
      • Story Reports
        • Query Designer - Filter, Calculated Column, Params

Reproducing the Issue

  • login to instance
  • open the compensation story report 
  • navigate to the story report query
  • preview the query -> it shows internal server error

Cause

  • This issue is due to the calculated column named: SCALEDANNUALAMOUNT used in the story reports which has the ANNUALAMOUNT divided by FTE.
  • It is most likely due to the presence of FTEs which have 0 as value in EC Job info portlets.
  • When the ANNUALAMOUNT is divided by FTEs with 0 values then it leads to zero division errors which in turn leads to internal server error in query of the story report or in story views intermittently.

Resolution

  • Navigate to the query of the story report and open the calculated column: SCALEDANNUALAMOUNT 
  • There the default formula is: [ANNUALAMOUNT]/[Employment#Job Information#FTE]



  • Replace the current formula with this formula:

    IF([Employment#Job Information#FTE]=0,0,[ANNUALAMOUNT]/[Employment#Job Information#FTE])

    and click on Format to validate the formula



  • After that save the story report query


The formula suggested above is to avoid the zero division errors in the story reports. It will first detect the FTEs with 0 value through the IF function's conditional statement and then replace the SCALEDANNUALAMOUNT with zero. Else it will go on dividing the SCALED ANNUAL amount with non-zero FTE values.
