Symptom
- Unable to update the image in an existing SFTP server link which was generated before the introduction of Public Links for Hosting Static Content
- Error message: "The provided URL format is invalid" appears when attempting to replace the content of the URL.
Environment
Recruiting Management
SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Attempt to update the image in an existing SFTP server link using the Public Content Links feature.
- Encounter the error message: "The provided URL format is invalid".
Cause
Files that were previously uploaded for public hosting before the introduction of this self-service tool cannot be replaced using this feature.
Resolution
- If the link was generated before the introduction of the self-service tool, replacing the image in the existing URL is not supported due to a limitation of the tool.
- Generate a new link for the latest image to be used.
- Use the newly generated link in the required options, such as in job requisitions or offer letters.
