3121444 - OData API: Updating a Dynamic Group Definition

You would like to update Dynamic Groups using SuccessFactors OData API.

You notice that some of the objects related to the dynamic group do not support upserts/updates/imports:

• DGPeoplePool
• DGFilter
• DGExpressions
• DGFieldValue

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

• SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
• OData API

You attempt to Create or Update some Dynamic Groups via OData API in your SuccessFactors system

You received an error which states that some of the Dynamic Group (DG) entities do not support UPSERT

DG entities (DGPeoplePool, DGFilter, DGFieldValue, DGExpression, etc) do not support the UPSERT operation directly.

DG entities (DGPeoplePool, DGFilter, DGFieldValue, DGExpression, etc) need to created / updated via the DynamicGroup entity

The DynamicGroup does support UPSERT operation & this entity should be the root (i.e. Starting Point) of UPSERT request to update Dynamic Groups in SF via OData API.

Please refer to Use Case 3: Update a Dynamic Group Definition & Use Case 4: Create a Dynamic Group Definition in the SF OData API Reference Documentation:

• SAP SuccessFactors API Reference Guide (OData V2) > DynamicGroup
