2401516 - BizX locale change not reflected in LMS - LMS / BIZX Integration

Language changes for users in BizX are not affecting LMS automatically

• SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite (Platform BizX)
• SAP SuccessFactors Learning (LMS)

1. User changes their locale in BizX (Options > Change language).
2. User navigates to Learning.
3. Locale in LMS (Learning) is not updated automatically.

• Bizx Configuration:
  The Integration between LMS and BizX uses an Application Interface to communicate. When the user language is changed, LMS triggers a call to this interface to ask BizX what the language should be for the affected user.
  The call itself is performed on behalf of the affected user so Bizx will return only the information that the user is allowed to see in BizX. If the answer from Bizx doesn't contain the required information (due to a lack of permissions for the affected user) then LMS will not be able to update the language.
• LMS Configuration
• Miscommunication between servers at the datacenter level

Bizx Configuration:

• There are two ways to ensure the integration can retrieve the locale information via RBP: It can be done by granting permissions for users to view specific values in their own data, or if you wish it can be done by granting employee export permission
• To grant permissions for the user to see their own data:
  Admin center > Manage permission roles > Edit permission role > Employee Data
• View Default locale
• View UserID
• View Username
• View First Name
• View Last Name

Example for default locale:

• To grant permissions to perform Employee Export:
  Admin center > Manage permission roles > Edit permission role > Manage User
• Employee Export

Example:

Provisioning: (Accessed only by your partner, CSM or submit support case to LOD-SF-LMS or LOD-SF-PLT-PROV to check):

• Company settings > search for "learning integration" and make sure the API URI is populated
  
  
• Company settings > search for OData API and check both SFAPI and OData API are checked

• 

  NOTE: Once Odata API is checked you see this instead

  

LMS Configuration:

• Make sure the baseURL in LMS (system admin > configuration > system configuration > BizX) is correct
• Make sure the BizX user ID matches the LMS user ID (note: Bizx user ID can be seen by performing an Employee Export)
• Ensure Access User Settings workflow is granted to user:
• Note the user's LMS role
• Go to System Admin > Security > Roles
• Search for the role that you noted for the user
• Click the workflows tab > Click "Add one or more workflows"
• Search for the workflow "Access User Settings" and add it.
• If the above has been checked and the locale is still not syncing:
  Please open a support case referencing this KBA and support please refer to internal memo.
