# SAP connector

The SAP connector brings employee and job data from SAP SuccessFactors into TechWolf, where it is used to infer qualitative skill profiles for employees and jobs. The integration is one-way: data flows from SAP SuccessFactors to TechWolf.

## Key attributes

- **Employee data.** Basic employee information, internal and external work experience, education history, certificates, and course history, loaded as the employee baseline and the skill events that build employee profiles.
- **Job data.** The job architecture maintained in Job Profile Builder: job families, jobs, and the job profiles that describe them.
- **Two delivery routes.** Data leaves SAP SuccessFactors either as standard file exports or through the SAP BTP connector; both routes deliver the same data for ingestion.

## How it works

- **File-based exports.** TechWolf provides templated export definitions, for example the employee baseline export definition, which are imported into SAP SuccessFactors' Integration Center or Report Center and scheduled, typically daily. The exports are delivered to TechWolf's SFTP server, and TechWolf ingests them into the tenant. Integration Center is the recommended path where available; job data requires Integration Center, since it cannot be exported through the Report Center.
- **SAP BTP connector.** The connector runs as integration flows inside the organisation's own SAP Integration Suite. TechWolf requests a run for a data type over HTTPS; the integration flow calls the SuccessFactors OData API on the organisation's behalf, pages through the results, and stages them in TechWolf-managed storage for ingestion. Every run is visible in SAP BTP's Monitor Message Processing view, and the SuccessFactors credentials stay inside the organisation's BTP keystore. One installed package serves all enabled data types, so enabling another data type needs no new install, and no SFTP servers, report schedules, or export files are involved.

With either route, the organisation enables only the data types relevant for its use case, and SuccessFactors permissions are granted only for those.

## Prerequisites

The SAP connector is part of TechWolf's input integrations. It requires an SAP SuccessFactors tenant and a TechWolf tenant. The file-based route requires access to the Integration Center or Report Center, with Job Profile Builder in use for job data; the BTP route requires an SAP BTP tenant with SAP Integration Suite provisioned.

## Availability

- **Console:** the **Connectors** page for the BTP connector's credentials, schedules and runs, and **File-Based Integrations** for the integrations that load the data from either route.
