## SAP SuccessFactors Configuration

TechWolf has already pre-configured some parts of the integration. The following
ZIP archive contains the necessary files that will be used in the subsequent
steps to configure the integration in SAP SuccessFactors.

<Card title="Required files" icon="download" href="https://techwolf-docs-public-access.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/integrations/skill-sync-integrations/sap-skills-taxonomy-sync-required-files.zip" horizontal="true">
  Required files for the SAP Skills Taxonomy Sync Integration
</Card>

The setup in SAP SuccessFactors consists of loading, configuring and scheduling
a collection of import and export integrations in the Integration Center of SAP
SuccessFactors. For these schedules, timing is important. Ideally, the export
tasks are scheduled to complete shortly before the SAP Skills Taxonomy Sync
operations are scheduled to start at TechWolf's side, and the import tasks soon
after they're scheduled to complete. By default, these operations can be
presumed to start at 1:00 AM UTC and complete by 2:00 AM UTC every day. Consult
your TechWolf representative for updated information on this schedule.

Note that the daily TechWolf schedule does not require the SAP schedules to also
run daily; these can be scheduled to run less frequently (e.g. weekly, monthly)
with no negative impact.

1. **Create the TechWolf Attribute Import Schedule** Follow the steps in
   [How To: Load Import Integration Definitions <Icon icon="link" iconType="solid" />](/integrations/datasource-integrations/sap-standard-input-integration/how-to-load-import-integration-definitions)
   to create a new integration definition that will load the TechWolf skills as
   attributes into SAP SuccessFactors. Use the values from the table below when
   setting up the integration definition.

   | **Configuration Item**     | **Value**                                  |

   | **Processing Folder**      | `/tih/processed/tags`                |

   **Base ICD**:
   [Talent Intelligence Hub Tag Import <Icon icon="link" iconType="solid" />](https://api.sap.com/package/SuccessFactorsTalentIntelligenceHubAdminImportTemplates/icd)

4. **Create the TechWolf Tag Export Schedule** Follow the steps in
   [How To: Load Export Integration Definitions <Icon icon="link" iconType="solid" />](/integrations/datasource-integrations/sap-standard-input-integration/how-to-load-export-integration-definitions)
   to create a new integration definition that will export the SAP tag
   counterparts of the previously loaded in TechWolf skill clusters out of SAP
   SuccessFactors. Use the values from the table below when setting up the
   integration definition.

   | **Configuration Item**     | **Value**                            |
   | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
   | **Integration Definition** | `techwolf_tag_export_definition.icd` |

5. **Create the TechWolf Attribute-Tag Mapping Import Schedule** Follow the
   steps in
   [How To: Load Import Integration Definitions <Icon icon="link" iconType="solid" />](/integrations/datasource-integrations/sap-standard-input-integration/how-to-load-import-integration-definitions)
   to create a new integration definition that will load the mapping between
   TechWolf skills (attributes in SAP) and TechWolf skill clusters (tags in SAP)
   into SAP SuccessFactors. Use the values from the table below when setting up
   the integration definition.

   For optimal operation, this integration only runs after the related runs of
   the Attribute Import (Step 1) and the Tag Import (Step 3) are completed.
   Therefore, the time of day of the `Start Time` of the schedule should be set
   to be some time (e.g. one hour) after the time of day of those import
   schedules.

   | **Configuration Item**     | **Value**                                              |
   | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
   | **Integration Definition** | `techwolf_attribute_tag_mapping_import_definition.icd` |
   | **File Name Prefix**       | `TechWolfAttributeTagMappingImport`                    |
   | **Date Suffix Format**     | `yyyyMMdd`                                             |
   | **File Folder**            | `/tih/imports/attribute_tag_mapping`                   |
   | **Processing Folder**      | `/tih/processed/attribute_tag_mapping`                 |

<Note>
  The ICDs provided by TechWolf are based on the default integration definitions by SAP, as indicated by the **Base ICD** mentioned.
  These have been pre-filled with some necessary values such as the file name prefix for your convenience, to ease the setup process.
  TechWolf is committed to keeping these integration definitions up to date with the latest SAP SuccessFactors releases, but cannot guarantee full alignment with the SAP SuccessFactors release schedule.
  Should issues arise when using these integration definitions, please contact [support@techwolf.ai](mailto:support@techwolf.ai).
</Note>

<Note>
  To make sure the skills added to the Attributes Library are recognized by the intelligent systems within SAP,
  the **Standardization Process** must be executed for these skills.
  This is a manual process that must be executed by your SAP administrator.

  It is not process-critical for *all* skills to be standardized,
  so the standardization process can be executed on a periodic basis,
  less frequently than the daily synchronization of the Attributes Library, e.g. quarterly.
  It is highly recommended to execute the standardization process at least once after the
  initial setup of the integration and initial population of the Attributes Library.
</Note>

## TechWolf Configuration

The TechWolf tenant will be configured by TechWolf itself.

1. TechWolf adds TechWolf API credentials with correct scopes to have access to
   the TechWolf API and links that TechWolf tenant to the SAP SuccessFactors
   tenant.
2. TechWolf enables the schedule to create and consume the SAP SuccessFactors
   Attributes Library import and export files, respectively, on TechWolf's side.
