Prerequisites

Before continuing, ensure you have the following:
  • A valid TechWolf contract and access to a live TechWolf tenant.
    • This tenant must contain Employees corresponding to the PerPerson entities present in SAP SuccessFactors. This can be achieved by either:
      • Using the Standard Employee Data Input Integration .
      • Writing custom input integrations. When doing this, ensure the TechWolf SkillEngine API Employees are linked with their SAP PerPerson counterparts by using the Per Person UUID (perPersonUuid) as the TechWolf Employee ID (external_id). Additionally, each TechWolf Employee should have a custom property called person_id_external with as value the Person External ID of the corresponding PerPerson entity in SAP SuccessFactors. 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: Enables 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.
  • A successful SAP support case to whitelist the TechWolf SFTP server .
  • A working Skill Inventory Sync integration between TechWolf and SAP SuccessFactors.
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:
