3793062 - Import Report Fails in SAP Traceability Hub with HTTP 413 "Request Entity Too Large" Error from SFDA

Symptom

  • Import report in traceability hub shows error status with description "Error in SFDA".
  • Error details include: "org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: Could not send Message., cause: org.apache.cxf.transport.http.HTTPException: HTTP response '413: Request Too Long'".
  • Additional message observed: "413 Request Entity Too Large".

Environment

SAP Traceability Hub

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Submit an import report through SAP Traceability Hub for processing by the SFDA integration endpoint.
  2. Monitor the processing status of the import report.
  3. Observe that the status changes to Error with the description "Error in SFDA".
  4. Review the message logs or error details.Verify that the response contains an HTTP 413 error, such as:
    • Request Too Long
    • Request Entity Too Large

Cause

The receiving SFDA endpoint rejects the request because the payload size exceeds the maximum allowed request size.

As a result, the endpoint returns HTTP 413 (Request Entity Too Large) and the import report cannot be processed successfully.

Resolution

  1. Review the message processing logs and confirm that the reported failure corresponds to:
    • HTTP 413: Request Too Long, or
    • HTTP 413: Request Entity Too Large.
  2. Verify that the request was successfully generated by SAP Traceability Hub and that the rejection originated from the receiving SFDA endpoint.
  3. Engage the SFDA/RSD team and provide the relevant error details for analysis.
  4. As a workaround, adjust the payload size to comply with the agreed integration and payload size limitations.
  5. Verify that:
    • The import report is processed successfully.
    • No additional HTTP 413 errors are returned.
    • The transaction reaches the expected completion status.
