2694557 - Limitation of ToDo OData API

You are using or planning to use ToDo Odata API to implement your integration.

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite OData API

N/A

There are two API entry points whereby you can use to fetch a list of tasks (to-do items) assigned to a user for integration, ToDo and TodoEntryV2.

It is highly encouraged to use TodoEntryV2 entity instead of ToDo as there is a limitation with this legacy ToDo entity.

ToDo entity only allows you to query the logged-in user's to-do items. User authentication is required for every request. This means a new session is created on the server for each API call, and each session will trigger an insert operation to the database for authentication audit. A high volume of simultaneous ToDo requests occupies a great amount of resource and could drastically slow down system performance.

TodoEntryV2, on the other hand, allows you to query the to-do items of multiple users in one request, hence, only one user authentication is needed and one login record will be logged.

Query the to-do items of multiple users in one request using TodoEntryV2 entity instead of ToDo to avoid slow system performance caused by associated high load of authentication auditing.
