SAP Success Factors
INFO
The Success Factors connector is a Scripted API connector. Please refer to the Scripted API documentation for more details.
The Success Factors connector allows data synchronization between Success Factors and RAC/M Identity. To do this, the connector uses the SuccessFactors Workforce SCIM API. The API documentation is available at https://api.sap.com/api/PLTScim/overview.
Like all scripts used by the Scripted API connector, this connector can be modified to meet specific requirements. You can refer to other reference scripts to see how scripts can be modified.
Configuration
The following parameters are required for all Scripted API connectors:
| Configuration | Description |
|---|---|
| Script Path | Path to the Groovy script. |
| API URL | The URL of the API to connect to. |
The API URL should end with /PLTScim/rest/iam/scim/v2.
Additional parameters are also required for the Success Factors connector. The following section describes the required parameters.
Authentication
The Success Factors connector uses the OAuth2 Protocol to authenticate to the API. This entails that configuration requires a few custom properties in order to allow the authentication flow to happen properly:
| Configuration | Must contain |
|---|---|
| Custom Config 1 | The grant_type. |
| Custom Config 2 | The client_id. |
| Custom Secret 1 | The client_secret. |
| Preferred Authentication Method | oauth2 |
| Authentication URL | The URL used for authentication. |
| ThreadPoolSize | The number of threads to use (default: All available threads) |
These properties will provide sufficient information for the connector to authenticate and perform the required operations on the API.
Threads
The Success Factors connector supports concurrent operations. To do this, it uses a thread pool. This allows multiple API calls to be made in parallel to increase performance. This is especially useful when importing a large number of users. The number of threads to use can be configured through the "Thread Pool Size" parameter. Leave this parameter empty to use all available threads.
