7 Known Issues and Workarounds

This chapter provides solutions to the commonly encountered issues associated with the S4HANA connector:

  • The delete operation is not supported by S4HANA APIs. So, revoking the S4HANA account results in locking user account and shrinking validity period in target.
  • Reconciling revoked account in OIM will result in creating new account in Disabled state. Due to above reason.
  • Lock indicator (Lock) field can’t be set while creating user. Even though you set it it’ll not reflect in target.
  • On User Enable, Start and End date will be set to today’s date and 31-12-9999 respectively. Same will not reflect in Account details until reconciled.
  • On User Disable, End date will be set to today’s date. Same will not reflect in Account details until reconciled.
  • Locking user account or user validity in past date will restrict user to login to S4HANA Cloud,
  • Accounts created thru reconciliation will not populate fields like Gender, Worker Type, Company name, or attributes which are not part of S4HANA Cloud Web Service response.
  • In target, Start and End Date will only be updated on Employee page while user creation and not thereafter.
  • In target, End date will be set as ’31-12-9999’ even if value is provided during user creation. It’s a target limitation. To sync it with OIM user attribute, update on user is created
