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

  1. Attempt to update the image in an existing SFTP server link using the Public Content Links feature.
  2. 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

  1. 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.
  2. Generate a new link for the latest image to be used.
  3. Use the newly generated link in the required options, such as in job requisitions or offer letters.
