Detailed Description

We’ve enhanced the OData v2 response handling with XML size validation that prevents out of memory errors. As an API user, you receive a clear HTTP 400 error when payloads exceed the limit. The size check applies to all OData v2 requests that return XML, including requests that set $format=atom or send an Accept header for XML. When the XML response exceeds 1 gigabyte, the request fails with HTTP 400 and error code RESPONSE_PAYLOAD_EXCEED_LIMIT .

Impact Assessment

This enhancement is automatically on and directly affects all SAP SuccessFactors implementations without requiring any configuration. Implementation teams should validate that the new behavior aligns with business requirements and communicate the change to end users if necessary.

Test Recommendations
• Test all API integrations using the updated or deprecated endpoints to confirm continued operation. • Validate authentication mechanisms (OAuth, certificates) for API connections after the change. • Test the assignment creation, application, and tracking process in Opportunity Marketplace. • Verify that recommendations and notifications for assignments function correctly.
