Hi Experts! We upgraded our succession management from role-based to MDF position based and as part of that upgrade, standard tiles for succession were configured in our system. But when we test them the following tiles are not working as expected Succession Positions by Max Readiness. Succession Successors by Readiness The Succession Positions by Max Readiness is a pie chart and when we click on any slicer (like Ready Now or 1 to 3 years or etc), the drill down includes all the slicer data and is not restricted just to the selected slicer. Is anyone facing this type of issue? If resolved, please let us know the fix for the same. We raised a support ticket but the support team came back saying it is working as expected. But am not buying it. So posting in the chat to ensure I am not missing something. Thank you and I appreciate any response. ... View more

With H1'2023 release ECT-210699 removed the ability to sync the Supervisior's position from Job Information to the Employee's Position > Higher Level Manager Position using a Business Rule.  We had this condition defined on a Business Rule because in our organization we use 1:1 relationships between Position and Employee so the Supervisor (Position) on the Employee's Job Info Profile, should always be the Position assigned to the Higher Level Position on the Employee's Position.  We did this because using the Move currently assigned Position below new Manager's position would ONLY change the Manager on the Employee's position, and not change any other attributes that might have been updated during the same transaction.  This causes the user to have to execute two transactions: One to update the manager and move the position, and another to update the additional Job Attributes that might have changed.  Using the Business Rule to sync the Job Information Supervisor Position to the Employee Position removed the necessity of having to execute two transactions.  Do you have a suggestion for how you think that the issue can be addressed? Bring the ability to sync the Job Information Supervisor Position to the Employee Position back - return the ability to use the Higher Level Position in the THEN Statements of Business Rules. OR Develop functionality that will allow all Job Info changes to be updated, even if a Manager Change is included, on the employee's position so the user does not have to execute two transactions.  ...

Hi, I have a stalled IAS project that had started and stopped multiple times over the past couple of years for different reasons. We have partial SSO, where only some employees have a company email and others log in via username and password. I understand the dummy email creation process for our password users for their username. I understand having different login groups. What has been the latest struggle is how the password users log in for the very first time. There is no real email to send a welcome email. We have tried to go down the path of automatically creating a default password with logic but have not had any luck. I read there is a way to use the forgot password option for the first access to create their Identity Authentication password. I do not understand how this works. Can someone please explain this to me in detail? If I provide the IAS login url to a new employee and tell them to use the Forgot your password option. They enter their username/dummy email using the logic I can provide (first initial of first name followed by the first 7 letters of last name followed by '@nonemail.com.'). Then what? How does it authenticate to be able to create a password? I need some help and would really appreciate anyone's experience and knowledge to be shared.  Thank you,  Julie ... View more

Hello, We are currently in the process of introducing a custom target library in Performance and Goals. Has anyone already experience if the IDs used in the target library is independent from the number range "External-Code" used for the competencies in the Center of Capabilities . The background of the question is that the following statement is in the room. During the import process, the system checks the GUID present in your instance for all libraries (targets, competencies, capabilities, question targets...) and not only for the target library. I could not detect any pendency during the import, but I want to make sure that this is really not a problem. Thanks for any support Conny   ... View more

We are encountering an issue with reading/syncing Onboardee 2.0 user(s) in IAS using SCIM API.. We already upgraded our IAS to SCIM version. We have all the setup needed for this upgrade in IAS and we are using the default transformation logic for Source and Target systems for SCIM. Now we are simulating the IPS sync job for one test onboardee and for some reason it is not being read in IPS. We have tried the default sf.user.filter: active eq "true" and userName eq "our_test_onboardee" but IPS still could not read. We have tried several filters to try to query this test onboardee but none seems to be working. The test onboardee has been verified to be existing in Successfactors so we should be able to read and fetch but we cannot pinpoint right now what we are missing in IAS side since we are just using the default configurations already set up by SAP. We have also tried querying the onboardee using API tester/Postman: First we tried using ODATA API and we are successful in querying the onboardee. With SCIM API though, we are only able to fetch data with userType: EMPLOYEE. We thought it might have something to do with the permission for SCIM API so we did a check on that as well but still not able to query ONBOARDEES. Any advice on how we can fetch data with userType: ONBOARDEE using SCIM API? This is the URI we used for ODATA: https://api**.sapsf.com/odata/v2/User?$filter=status in 'e' Result: Test Onboardee was fetched This is the URI we are using for SCIM: https://api**.sapsf.com/rest/iam/scim/v2/Users Result: ONLY userType: EMPLOYEE is fetched This issue is only happening with onboardees. In IPS, regular employees are successfully read and synced with our current configuration. What could we be missing and what else can we check ? Thank you in advance!
