Setting Up Integration Packages and iFlows

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to set up integration package and iflows for replication in SAP Cloud Integration.

Integration Flow Management in SAP Cloud Integration

Configure the integration flow for replication of employee master data and employee organizational assignments from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central in your customer workspace in SAP Cloud Integration.

Prerequisites

You've copied the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Integration with SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA: Employee and Organizational Data integration package to your customer workspace. Refer to the following task for the steps to copy, configure, and deploy an integration flow.

Configure and Deploy the Relevant Integration Flows

Hint

Refer to the following SAP help documentation for the detailed steps to configure integration flows relevant for replication of employee data from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to SAP S/4HANA. https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_SUCCESSFACTORS_EC_S4_HCM_INTEGRATION/ff6b495d894a4685accf7e4bfa75da1b/98a80a25ebc0499b9f907ccc2de071b0.html

Endpoint URLs Required for Outbound Communication from SAP S∕4HANA

Determine the endpoint URLs of the integration flows in SAP Cloud Integration. The SAP S∕4HANA administrator enters these URLs when activating the SAP S∕4HANA outbound web services, so that SAP S∕4HANA is able to address the middleware.

Procedure

Log on to the SAP Cloud Integration web UI.
Choose Operations View from the top-level menu on the left.
Choose Manage Integration Content→All.
Select the following integration flows one by one and mark down the URL shown on the Endpoints tab:
- Replicate Employee Master Data and Org. Assignments from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to SAP ERP or SAP S4HANA
- Send Confirmations from SAP ERP or SAP S4HANA to SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Hint
You can also note the URLs from the following integration flows as they will be needed for setup of additional outbound web services.
- Replicate Organizational Objects from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to SAP ERP or SAP S4HANA
- Replicate Generic Data from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA Using the OData API
The SAP S∕4HANA uses these URLs when setting up the outbound web services in SAP S∕4HANA.
Note
The URL looks like this: https://[runtime URL of your SAP Cloud Integration environment]/cxf/[sender address]
The sender address part is the suffix you enter in the Address field of the sender in SAP Cloud Integration when setting up the integration flow. For example: EC_to_ERP_Master_Data_And_Org_Query
To get the complete endpoint URL, configure and deploy the integration flow first, then copy the URL from Manage Integration Content.

Summary

Begin by copying the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Integration package for Employee and Organizational Data to your SAP Cloud Integration customer workspace before configuring the integration flows.
Configure and deploy specific integration flows, such as Replicate Employee Master Data and Org. Assignments and Send Confirmations, ensuring end-to-end data replication between Employee Central and SAP S/4HANA.
Identify and record the endpoint URLs for each integration flow via the Endpoints tab in SAP Cloud Integration, as these are required for SAP S/4HANA outbound web service activation.
Note additional URLs for flows like Replicate Organizational Objects and Replicate Generic Data, supporting broader data integration scenarios beyond employee master data.
Use SAP Help documentation for step-by-step guidance on copying, configuring, and deploying integration flows, ensuring correct setup and connectivity between SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, middleware, and SAP S/4HANA.
