3327912 - Migrating JDM data to Talent Intelligence Hub - 1H 2023

Symptom

This article provides steps required to prepare your system for Talent Intelligence Hub upgrade in the 1H 2023 Release, on instances using Job Description Manager solution (JDM).

If you are currently using Job Profile Builder to manage Families and Roles, and Center of Capabilities to manage competencies, the information here provided is not valid for your system, so check the KBA 3328015 - Migrating JPB data to Talent Intelligence Hub - 1H 2023.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
  • SAP SuccessFactors Job Description Manager (JDM)
  • SAP SuccessFactors Talent Intelligence Hub (TIH)

Resolution

With Talent Intelligence Hub users can manage different attributes (competencies, skills and any other custom attribute configured in your instance that are important to your business) in a centralized placed called Growth Portfolio. For more information, check our Administration Guide in SAP SuccessFactors Platform > Using Talent Intelligence Hub.

Important Notes

  • Before enabling Talent Intelligence Hub is important to be aware that you cannot revert back to manage competencies in Job Description Manager. Once your system is successfully migrated to Talent Intelligence Hub, competencies are managed under the new framework.
  • Only competencies will be migrated to Talent Intelligence Hub framework. You will still be managing Families, Roles, and related mappings under Admin Center > Manage Families and Roles.
  • There are no impact on other functionalities related to Job Description Manager (e.g. Writing Assistant, Coaching Advisor), other than competencies.
  • Your JDM data for all libraries, competencies and behaviors must be maintained in all locales enabled for your instance, as Talent Intelligence Hub does not support the default locale context.
  • Back up your JDM data before running the migration to Talent Intelligence Hub.

Migrating to Talent Intelligence Hub

To prepare your system and data for the enablement of Talent Intelligence Hub in the 1H 2023 Release, make sure to:

  1. Run JDM checks in Admin Center > Check Tool and fix any errors returned - Check the WIKI page JDM & JPB Check Tools for more details and help fixing the issues you may find;
  2. Enable Talent Intelligence Hub in Admin Center > Upgrade Center - Carefully read the information for the Talent Intelligence Hub upgrade;
  3. Check if migration job is completed successfully:
    1. Job is completed successfully - Go to step "4";
    2. Job fails - Run checks for Talent Intelligence Hub in Admin Center > Check Tool to verify what needs to be corrected for a successful migration.
  4. Set up Role-Based Permissions for Talent Intelligence Hub - Check the required permissions in the section Permissions Required for Using Talent Intelligence Hub of our Administration Guide.

For complete information on migrating data from JDM to the new framework, check the section Migrating from Job Description Manager to Talent Intelligence Hub in the Using Talent Intelligence Hub Guide.

Data Validation for Talent Intelligence Hub in Check Tool
