This page explains how to connect SAP SuccessFactors tenants to SAP Cloud ALM.

Currently the following monitoring application are supported for SAP SuccessFactors:

• Business Process Monitoring
  
• Integration & Exception Monitoring

The following videos demonstrate the setup steps to set up Integration & Exception Monitoring for SAP SuccessFactors.

A textual step by step description for all setup steps is provided in the sections below the videos.

• You need to obtain the SAP Cloud ALM Service Key to connect to the SAP Cloud ALM system
  
• Enable SFAPI usage
  • In order to use the SFAPI, SAP SuccessFactors must enable the API for your company instance. This is usually done during the initial implementation. If this was not done, please contact your SAP SuccessFactors support representative to enable the SFAPI for your instance.

1. Your personal user needs the permission Manage Integration Tools > Access to Integration Service Registration Center UI
2. Create a new user for the SFAPI in SAP SuccessFactors assign the settings and authorizations listed under SAP SuccessFactors SFAPI User

This step is only needed if you use integrations for which we can collect messages.

You find supported scenarios in the table Available Monitoring Content on the Integration & Exception Monitoring page for SAP SuccessFactors.

1. Go to "Admin Center"
2. In the "Tools Search", search for Integration Service Registration Center

The registration will create an entry for this SAP SuccessFactors instance in the Landscape Management application of SAP Cloud ALM, if it doesn't already exist.

The endpoint only needs to be created to support the PULL data collection of exceptions.

Please note: Currently, the PUSH monitoring setup creates an additional cloud service in Landscape Management. If you activated the PUSH data collection in the previous step, you should create the endpoint for this cloud service. If you didn't activate the PUSH data collection please create the endpoint for the SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite tenant that was synchronized automatically from SAP.
