This article provides steps required to prepare your Job Profile Builder (JPB) system for the Talent Intelligence Hub upgrade.
If you are currently using Job Description Manager to manage Families, Roles, and Competencies, the information here provided is not valid for your system, so check the KBA 3327912 - Migrating JDM data to Talent Intelligence Hub - 1H 2023.
Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors Job Profile Builder
- SAP SuccessFactors Talent Intelligence Hub
Resolution
With Talent Intelligence Hub (TIH), users can manage different attributes (competencies, skills and any other custom attribute) that are important to your business in a centralized place called Growth Portfolio. For more information, check our Administration Guide in SAP SuccessFactors Platform > Using Talent Intelligence Hub.
Important Notes
- Before enabling TIH, please be aware that you cannot revert back to Manage Competencies in Job Profile Builder (JPB). Once your system is successfully migrated to TIH, competencies are managed under the new framework.
- Only competencies will be migrated to the TIH framework. You will still manage Job Profiles, Families, Roles, and related mappings under Admin Center > Manage Job Profile and Manage Job Profile Content.
- At this time, Skills cannot be migrated to TIH. Check the Restrictions column in Decision Matrix for Job Profile Builder to Talent Intelligence Hub Migration.
- There are no impacts on other functionalities related to JPB (e.g. Writing Assistant, Coaching Advisor) other than competency entity.
- Your JPB data for all libraries, competencies, behaviors, categories, and groups must be maintained in all locales enabled for your instance. TIH does not support the default locale context.
- Back up your JPB data before running the migration to TIH.
Still Need Help? If you need assistance with the migration, customers can exchange experiences with each other and ask questions of our migration and adoption experts in a new Work Zone group. In order to be admitted into the group, please send an email to SAP_SF_Product_Advisory@sap.com. All group members will also be invited to Office Hours calls, that will take place from time to time, and according to necessity. More information is posted in Everything you need to know about: SAP SuccessFactors Talent Intelligence Hub.
