SAP SuccessFactors

You can use the SAP SuccessFactors connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from SAP SuccessFactors and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Add the SAP SuccessFactors Connector

To enable Sync to use data from SAP SuccessFactors, you first must add the connector, as follows:

  2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

  3. Click the Sources tab and locate the SAP SuccessFactors row.

  4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the SAP SuccessFactors connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.
