SAP SuccessFactors connector
The SAP SuccessFactors connector lets you synchronize SAP SuccessFactors users with IDM managed users.
OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the SuccessFactors Connector
The SuccessFactors Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces. For additional details, see ICF interfaces:
- Create
-
Creates an object and its
uid. - Delete
-
Deletes an object, referenced by its
uid. - Schema
-
Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.
- Script on Connector
-
Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector.
Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:
-
The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.
-
The script has access to a
connectorvariable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration. -
The script has access to any script arguments passed in by the application.
-
- Search
-
Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.
- Sync
-
Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.
- Test
-
Tests the connector configuration.
Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.
This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).
You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.
- Update
-
Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.
