Inbound SAP SuccessFactors Integration Center integrations with custom MDF entities

Hello SAP community,

Objective:

We would like to share one video with hands on using SAP SuccessFactors inbound Integrations Center along with custom MDF entities in OData V2 integration.

The video covers a sample of SF to SF integrations using custom parent/child effective dated MDFs entities.

Similar knowledge is applicable for CSV inbound Integration center too.

The main objective is sharing how custom MDF OData upserts works for parent/child entities.

For additional details, you can consult also our handbooks:

• Integration Center Handbook = link

Conclusion:

During the video, you will see that we covered the following SAP SuccessFactors features/tools/fields:

• Admin Center > Integration Center
  • Review and Run
  • Query / Map / Validate / Upsert
  • Source Fields
  • Destination Fields
  • Preview
  • Operation = Upsert Multiple and Upsert Single
  • Purge Type = Full Purge and Incremental Purge
