Completing Initial Settings to Enable the Daily Sync Job

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to complete the initial settings to enable the daily sync job.

Recruiting Advanced Analytics Admin Interface

Use the quick links in Command Center to access Advanced Analytics Admin or to open Advanced Analytics for the site.

The Recruiting Advanced Analytics and Recruiting Advanced Analytics Admin links are highlighted.

Integration Settings

Because Advanced Analytics integrates data across SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting, a data integration must be configured. Set up the OData integration, the default integration type for Advanced Analytics.

We recommend running the sync daily, especially for very large customers, as monthly ATS loads can bog down the system.

Integration Settings page is displayed. Enter the required details.
  • In the Notify field, enter the email address of the person to notify if there are unmapped statuses. This is required. (Note that this field is fully functional in the production environment.)

    Note

    Use your email address when configuring Advanced Analytics. Switch it to a customer admin email address when you finish the implementation. Or enter both, for example: consultant@email.com; admin@email.com; hris@email.com (distribution list).
  • Enable Get Data.

  • Enable Process Data. (However, if the Status Mappings have not yet been completed, to prevent a daily email reminder going out to the Notify person, you can wait to select this option.)

  • Note the Last ATS Data File Import Date. After doing an ATS Purge (discussed later), Advanced Analytics will reload any status activity since this date.

  • Checking the Get Data One Time box enables a one-time OData pull for a specified date period. This is useful when something happens during the data import so you don’t have to wait for the next sync date. Both a Begin date and an End date are required to use this option.

Timing of Syncs

Important: You must configure the Integration Settings at least one day before mapping candidate statuses.

  • Candidate application data is retrieved at 12PM (the cutoff time), and is processed at 1AM in the data center’s local time on the scheduled date. For example, if you save the Integration Settings on a Monday before 12PM (noon), the sync will be performed at 1AM that night. But if you save the Integration Settings after noon on a Monday, the sync won’t be performed until 1AM the following night, on Tuesday.

Configure OData Integration Settings

This video provides a demonstration of how to configure OData integration settings.

Business Example

Note

This exercise must be completed one day before Mapping Statuses.

Configure the Integration Settings page in Analytics Admin.

Steps

  1. Log in to Command Center, locate your site, and use the Recruiting Advanced Analytics Admin quick link.

  2. Do not change the settings for Integration Type (OData).

  3. In the Notify field, enter your email address.

  4. For Frequency, select Day.

  5. Check Get Data.

  6. Check Process Data.

  7. Choose Save.

Summary

  • Advanced Analytics integration is set up through an OData-based connection, and configuration should be completed at least one day before mapping candidate statuses to ensure clean synchronization.
  • Daily scheduling is recommended for the analytics sync to maintain performance, and notification emails should be added so unmapped status alerts reach the appropriate administrators during and after setup.
  • Sync timing follows a fixed schedule in which data is retrieved at midday and processed overnight, and administrators can choose between running the full pipeline or performing a one-time data pull for a defined date range when resolving import or purge-related issues.
