Installation - Employees

Employees datasource specification

This page describes the SAP SuccessFactors exports for syncing Employees into TechWolf: the Employee baseline, internal and external working history, education, certificates, Courses and resumes. TechWolf provides a templated definition for each export. You import them into the Integration Center (or the Report Center) and point them at the TechWolf SFTP server.

The Employee to Job export, which links each Employee to their Job, is part of the Jobs exports.

For the broader picture of how file-based integrations work and how they compare to API-based connectors, see Key concepts.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have the following:

• A valid TechWolf contract and access to a live TechWolf tenant.
• Credentials to the TechWolf SFTP server to host the integration files, with a password or an SSH key. See How To: Add an SSH Key to the Integration Center .
• An SAP support case to whitelist the TechWolf SFTP server .
• Access to either the Integration Center or the Report Center in your SAP SuccessFactors tenant, depending on the integration.

Integration Center and Report Center schedules run under the account of the user that creates them. We recommend setting up the schedules with a dedicated technical user rather than a named administrator account. Schedules created by a named account break when that account is deactivated. An administrator creates the technical user, grants it the permissions needed for the schedules, and proxies as it while creating them.

Configuration

To allow data to flow from SAP to TechWolf, all report schedules or integration definitions must be configured in the SAP SuccessFactors tenant. All definitions have already been templated by TechWolf, and can be imported into the SAP SuccessFactors environment by uploading those files.

We recommend using the Integration Center if available in your SAP environment. Not all integrations support report-based data extraction.

Integration Center

Follow the steps in How To: Load Export Integration Definitions to create a new integration definition with the correct values for each export. The integration definition files to start from are contained in the zip archive below. SFTP credentials will be provided by TechWolf. SFTP details can be found at SFTP details .
