Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Learning
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Learning Administration.
- Open System Administration.
- Navigate to System Administration Tool > Import Data.
- Open the Entity Type dropdown.
- Observe that Item/Course is not available in the list.
Cause
This is a System design, the Import Data tool does not support deactivating Items/Courses, bulk inactivation is supported only via the Item Connector.
Therefore, the Item/Course entity type does not appear in the Import Data tool dropdown.
Resolution
- Use the Item Connector to perform bulk inactivation of Items/Courses instead of the Import Data tool.
- Please refer: 2335391 - Deactivate items in bulk - SAP for Me on how to Deactivate Items in bulk.
- Prepare the Item Connector input file with the required fields and inactivation action
- Test the Item Connector run in a Stage/Preview tenant first to verify expected results.
IMPORTANT: Learning connectors can import thousands of entities in the system, so we highly recommend that customers engage with our Professional Services organization or a certified Learning implementation partner before attempting to use connectors or any data import. Additionally, it's recommended to always test in a Stage/Preview tenant first.
