Installation - Employees
Prerequisites
Before continuing, ensure you have the following:
-
A valid TechWolf contract and access to a live TechWolf tenant. - The employees in this tenant must be populated with the Employees present in SAP SuccessFactors, which can for example be achieved using the Standard Employee Data Input Integration . - It is also possible to load in the data in other ways, for example by writing custom input integrations. When doing this, an essential detail is linking Employees in the TechWolf SkillEngine API with their corresponding SAP SuccessFactors PerPerson objects. The Per Person UUID of the Per Persons must be used as the ID of the employees in TechWolf. Additionally, the
Person External IDfield in SAP SuccessFactors must also be added as a custom property calledperson_id_externalfor each employee in the TechWolf API. More information on custom properties can be found . -
An SAP SuccessFactors environment with Talent Intelligence Hub implemented.
Enabling Talent Intelligence Hub activates two essential features for this integration:
- Attributes Library: Supports using TechWolf skills in your SuccessFactors environment.
- Employee Growth Portfolios: Enables skill assignments to employees, allowing to synchronize validated employee skills between TechWolf and SAP.
-
Access to the TechWolf SFTP server to host the integration files.
-
An SAP support case to whitelist the TechWolf SFTP server .
TechWolf has already pre-configured some parts of the integration. The following ZIP archive contains the necessary files that will need to be imported into your SAP SuccessFactors environment:
