Symptom

  • An error occurs during a scheduled refresh using the Instance Refresh Tool (IRT).
  • The refresh fails with error code: DISABLE_TARGET_JOBS_FAILED-Disable Target Jobs failed-TECHNICAL
  • The error message states: "The refresh request can’t be submitted because the previous attempt to refresh TenantX on (date) failed. Please contact Technical Support to revert only the SAP SuccessFactors HCM suite application back to its original state, after which you can submit an instance refresh request for target instance TenantY using the tool."

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Schedule a refresh using the Instance Refresh Tool (IRT).
  2. Attempt to execute the refresh.
  3. Encounter the error: "The refresh request can’t be submitted because the previous attempt to refresh TenantX on (date) failed. Please contact Technical Support to revert only the SAP SuccessFactors HCM suite application back to its original state, after which you can submit an instance refresh request for target instance TenantY using the tool."

Cause

  • Multiple database timeouts occurred during the instance refresh, causing the refreshes to fail.
  • Temporary network socket timeout issue while executing the disabled job activity in Target instance.
  • We have determined that, apparently, this seems to be intermittent operational issue. 

Resolution
