Best Practices to schedule Sync jobs See: 2080728 - Employee Central: What is HRIS Sync?

• Full Sync
  • Full Sync job is meant for initial customer go-live or for any massive data change or for any major data discrepancies. It is not advisable to schedule a Full Sync job daily, weekly, quarterly etc. If there are data discrepancies, please raise tickets for support and support can advise if Full Sync needs to be run. In any and all cases, Full Sync should never be scheduled.
• Delta Recurring Job
• As we know, the system will kick delta Sync job for every change made via UI, API, Import. Hence we recommend not to schedule delta Sync job on an hourly basis. 
• Some customers still prefer to schedule an hourly delta sync job depending on their business cases. Product Support/EC Engineering Team See Here

Note for Customers:

• As a customer, you don't have access to Provisioning. To complete tasks in Provisioning, contact your implementation partner. If you're no longer working with an implementation partner, contact SAP Cloud Support.
• You must provide a written approval for above task (Create job one time job:Full Hris sync).
• You can also create, run and monitor jobs directly from Admin Center using the "Schedule Job Manager" tool. Please see KBAs 2906009 - Scheduled Job Manager and 2512570 - Creating an HRIS Sync Job in SAP SuccessFactors Via Scheduled Job Manager or Provisioning for instructions.
