Event-driven Extensions for SAP SuccessFactors on SAP BTP – Connecting the Dots
Walks through an event-driven extension for SAP SuccessFactors: Automated Configurations registers the SuccessFactors system against an SAP BTP account with an integration token, and a SuccessFactors custom integration then pushes events, such as an employee joining or leaving, to a topic in Event MeshEvent MeshEmitting and consuming business events across systems through brokers, including subscriptions and mapping application events to broker topics. Work that must survive a request, including deferred processing and retries, belongs to async processing.SAP and community, narrow by design that a CAP application subscribes to. The SuccessFactors APIs themselves are downloaded as EDMX files from SAP API Business Hub and imported into the CAP project, the same EDMX-import path behind service integrationService integrationUsing a service that runs somewhere else as if it were one of your own: its API imported into the model, a proxy that turns a local query into the remote protocol, and a mock that stands in for it on a laptop. Distinct from destinations, which is how the address and the credentials are found, and from replication, which is holding the data locally.SAP and community, narrow by design, so CAP generates the client used to call them. A reference application, RunSmooth, ties Automated Configurations, Event Mesh and CAP together end to end.
