Select All Countries/Regions or Legal Entities in DRTM Purge Requests

Managing General Audit

Increased Limit of User Accounts to Exclude from Read Audit

• A Give Feedback quick action that enables you to provide feedback to a coworker (in the Continuous Performance Management feature).

SAP Fiori Standards Universally Applied to Page Header

In the current version, the page header has a  (Search) icon that you can use to show or hide the search field. The  (Show Me) icon is on the same side of the avatar image as other icons.

In the previous version, the page header had a search field that was always shown and couldn't be hidden. The  (Show Me) icon was on the opposite side of the avatar image from other icons.

Set Up Scheduled Jobs in Scheduled Job Manager

In the current version, the tab where you view scheduled jobs and create job requests is called Job Scheduler. You can choose the Create Job Request option to create and submit a job request.

In the previous version, the tab where you view scheduled jobs was called Scheduled Job Requests. You couldn't create job requests or complete any other actions after they're created.

Copy Configuration and Non-User Transactional MDF Data

In the current version, the tab where you view scheduled jobs and create job requests is called Job Scheduler. You can choose the Create Job Request option to create and submit a job request.

In the previous version, the tab where you view scheduled jobs was called Scheduled Job Requests. You couldn't create job requests or complete any other actions after they're created.

Stable Transport and Import of Business Rules

In the current release, the Business Rules Admin page shows a message about how many rules haven't been migrated yet. The link in the message leads you to the check tool where you can perform the migration.

In the previous release, business rules referred to the option IDs of legacy picklist values used inside the rule. Option IDs are system-specific. After transporting or importing the corresponding rules from the source system to the target system, the picklist values would differ between both systems and could thus lead to different results after rule execution. To prevent this, you had to manually adjust the option IDs of the legacy picklist values in the target system.

The rule showed the label followed by the option ID in brackets in display mode.

In Configure Object Definitions, a warning appears upon saving when you use a generic object (GO) as the value source of an MDF field and the effective dating of the value source object is set to "From Parent".

We added the warning to help you avoid application errors and data issues.

The Search Data tool is deleted as of December 9, 2022.

The Manage Data tool provides the same search functionality as Search Data. We encourage you to use Manage Data to create, view, and edit MDF object data.

SAP SuccessFactors Extensions in Extension Center is going to be deleted on December 9, 2022.

In the current version, the Get Picklist Value Label rule function can now be used both with legacy picklists and MDF picklists.

In the previous version, the rule function was restricted to legacy picklists.

In the current release, you can change the underlying rule scenario for more than one rule at a time, from Basic to an application-specific rule scenario. You use the corresponding migration checks of the check tool to perform this change. The tool selects the correct rule scenario for your use case.

In the previous version, you could change the underlying rule scenario to an application-specific rule scenario only for one rule at a time, using the Change Scenario link on the Configure Business Rules page. In the guided procedure that opens up when using this link, you have to choose the corresponding scenario yourself.

In the current version, you can add the MDF Object Definitions from the Configure Object Definitions page. Choose a bundle to add the configurations.

In the previous version, you couldn't add MDF Object Definitions from the Configure Object Definitions page.

In the current version, Configure Object Definitions shows items in the object search result that are more relevant and are sorted alphabetically.

In the previous version, Configure Object Definitions shows some irrelevant items in the search result, and the items aren't sorted alphabetically.

 In the current version, there is new user unique identifier, Global User ID, to identify users across SAP business applications and services.

The feature replaces the need for a correlation of different external user identifiers and functions as the default solution for establishing a common user identifier in integration scenarios.

In the current version, you can add more tools as Favorites and see more recently used tools in the Admin Center. You can also now select a tools category from the search results to see corresponding links, instead of scrolling through the lists of links within the nested categories.

In the previous version, all the categories and their corresponding links were displayed in a vertical view. As a result, some categories that displayed at the bottom of the page would only show a partial list of corresponding links, and you would have to scroll to the top to see the remaining half of the list.

In the current version, the Admin Alert Type Information popup shows information about the maximum number of unresolved alerts.

In the previous version, there was no maximum number of unresolved alerts defined. Alerts were created or updated on a daily basis.

In the current version, the checks are now grouped on tabs according to the check type they belong to. Each check type follows a specific purpose.

In the previous version, all checks were grouped by application area. Additional information on a check was displayed in a dialog box. There were no migration checks.

In the current version, the popup messages that appear when you reset the password for login accounts have been enhanced, to enable automatic email notifications for account users.

In the current version, the actions listed above are available in Action Search. Now, you can search for these actions in the global header search box.

In the previous version, these actions were not available in Action Search.
