SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRSFEC_TIM - Messages for time data replication processing

• Message number: 056

• Message text: Data for &1 could not be retrieved. Inconsistent proxy with ext. code &2

What causes this issue?

The time data was replicated with the <ZK>Data Replication Proxy
external code</> '&V2&' from the Employee Central system. However, the
<ZK>Data Replication Proxy</> does not have any data or the reference to
the source time object is missing.

System Response

The replication fails.

How to fix this error?

Please perform the following steps to check and solve the issue, if
necessary:
Logon to Employee Central.
Go to <ZK>Admin Center</> -> <ZK>Manage Data.</>
Search the Data Replication Proxy '&V2&' and verify the following use
cases:
The reference to the time object is missing by mistake, delete the<ZK>
Data Replication Proxy with the external code </> '&V2&'. This proxy
object must be re-created so that data is re-replicated. You can
re-create the proxy again either by performing a data change in the time
object or by executing the proxy creation job that can be triggered from
the <ZK>Data Replication Configuration</>. The proxy creation job might
be helpful if many <ZK>Data Replication Proxies</> must be created
again.
The reference to the time object was deleted, but the status of the
<ZK>Data Replication Proxy</> with the external code '&V2&' did not
change from <ZK>Out of Sync</> to<ZK> Deleted</>. To ensure that the
deletion of the time object gets replicated, change the status of the
<ZK>Data Replication Proxy</> to <ZK>Deleted</>.
Re-replicate the D<ZK>ata Replication Proxy </>with the regular
scheduling.
