Symptom
To be able to connect your SuccessFactors (SF) instance to a new external/third-party site (SFTP/REST/SOAP), it is necessary to allowlist:
- SAP's Data Centers IPs in the third-party servers.
- Third-party site IPs in SAP servers.
This only applies when SuccessFactors is the Client System (the one making the call) and not the Source System (the one being called).
- For the allowlisting on the SAP side, refer to KBA 3122406.
- For the allowlisting on the third-party side, follow the steps below.
NOTE: Although uncommon, SAP Cloud Product IPs can change.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
Resolution
- Find your SAP's Data Center IPs in the KBA 2089448 - SuccessFactors Data Center Name, Location, URL, Domain Name, Mail Server details, SFTP details and Outbound IP addresses.
- Ask the third-party site provider to add these IPs to their allowlist so that SuccessFactors can connect successfully.
- Ask the third-party site provider to verify whether these IPs are not blocked (i.e., not on their IP auto-ban or blocklist).
