Steps
1) To create new integration pipeline for Attributes library export you first need to download an Integration Center Definition (.icd extension) file with name ‘Talent Intelligence Hub Attribute Export’ from SuccessFactors Talent Intelligence Hub Library Export Templates.
2) Log into SAP and search for ‘Integration Center’ (Search Bar is at the top of the page), open ‘My Integrations’. Click Create -> ‘Import an Integration Definition’ and upload the .icd file downloaded from the previous step.
3) Follow the setup wizard, set name and description of the integration pipeline and click Next.
4) Keep the default schema of the export file and click Next.
5) Configure SFTP server and file/folder details to export the Attribute data to:
- SFTP host address and port
- Authentication Type - Basic Authentication
- SFTP user name and password
- File name prefix - BMRAttributeExport
- Data Suffix Format - None
- File Extension - CSV
- File Folder - /BMR/incoming [ensure the SFTP has this empty folder]
- Advanced Settings - We can skip this section
Then click Next.
6) You can keep the schedule as ‘Suspended/Not Scheduled’ as you will manually run this integration after setting it up. Click Next
7) Click on Run Now.
8) The above step will trigger a job which can be checked by opening 'Scheduled Job Manager'.
9) Inform Beamery that the export is available in the specified SFTP folder.
