Resolution
How does the hosting files process work?
SuccessFactors Cloud Product Support team hosts files on an internal SFTP server from which they are synced to the
SuccessFactors webserver.
The file will be available in a URL link provided in the case created for the request.
Important highlight:
Be advised that your requested static content files are hosted in a public directory. Anyone with the content URL can access
your files on the public internet. If you agree to host your content in a public directory, please add the following note to your
case/ticket:
"[Customer Name] consents to having its static content files hosted in a Public Directory”.
Note: The maximum file size for each attachment is 250 MB.
What information is required to raise a hosting files request?
Raise a medium priority Support case under the component LOD-SF-PLT-HOS with the below information:
Company ID;
Datacenter Location;
Files to be hosted, zipped into a single folder;
For the case you have a Business Justification for a P2 (High), please make sure to provide that on the support case. In
case no valid Business Justification for a P2 is provided, CPS team will adjust the priority to P3 (Medium).
Note: Files hosted on a SFTP server can be accessed by anyone with access to the server. Therefore, validate the information
shared in the files, and make sure confidential data is not included.
In case of deletion:
Hosted file URL
Best practices:
Avoid using non-English characters in the file name.
Do not use special characters in the file name with the exception of underscore "_" and hyphen "-".
When attaching files to the case, please remove all spaces from the file title.
