Questions: Integration using SFAPI from EmployeeCentral to 3rd Party system

[former_member52061]

Dear Experts,

I am trying to build integration from SuccessFactors EmployeeCentral to 3rd Party System using SAP Cloud Platform Integration, in order to interface Foundation Objects such as Business Unit, Division and Department.

I build interface using SF API, such as FO_businessUnit, FO_division and FO_department. Now I can get all foundation data from our SuccessFactors but I have 2 questions below.

• Is it possible to get any items which indicate the relation between BusinessUnit and Division, Division and Department?

• Is it possible to set Filter so as to get specific data? For example, only data which have specific character “TEST” in externalCode field in department.

Please help me how can I build integration.

Thank you in advance, Best Regards,

Shinya

Thank you for your answer.

I try to build OData integration, but an error “Bad Request : 400 : HTTP/1.1” occurs.

Error message: Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable. Please try again later.

Do you have any idea/knowledge that this error will be solved?

Hello Shinya,

First thing please use ODATA entities instead of SFAPI .

Refer: https://community.successfactors.com/t5/API-and-Integration-Resources/Deprecation-of-Partner-API-SFA...

With respect your queries please find the below response.

1) You can use Sub Levels option while model your query in SuccessFactors adapters and find out the available navigation's between entities [ Currently SAP CPI supports up to 5 levels of Navigation based on Association built on entities ]

2) If the field you are looking for is marked as filterable in ODATA data dictionary then you can use perform Filter at adapter level or else you can use Content filter step of SAP CPI to achieve the same below will help you to get more information on the same.
