• SAP Success Factors Performance Management
• SuccessFactors OData API

• You are using OData API to complete a manager transfer.
• There has been an issue with the Manager transfer and document visibility in the System.

Several API entities allow specification of “processing parameters” to control extra business logic that can optionally be applied when editing (INSERT, UPDATE, UPSERT) the entity.

User entity with parameter “managerTransfer”

New option profile:

The left side information will be editable.

For profile ID - unique constraint check will be applied, every profile id should be unique, once duplicated profile id is detected, an error message will popup.

For description field - you can specify a short description for this profile for later reference. The maximum length of the description is 200 characters long, description longer than 200 character-lengths will be truncated.

Existing option Profile:

When editing an existing profile, Entity Type and Profile ID will be disabled, you can only change the description of this profile.

All the parameters available for the given entity will be shown for you to edit.

For the user entity, the parameters would be identical to the existing user import function and form template settings.

Once you finished the edit, you can either choose save or discard the change by clicking on the Save or Cancel button.
