Symptom
- Attempt to Associate Categories with Competencies by Syncing Categories via the Competency Connector.
- After running the Competency Connector, categories are not linked to the corresponding competencies.
- No error messages are shown and the connector run completes successfully.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Learning
Cause
- Associating categories with competencies via the Competency connector is not supported.
- Categories in BizX are not the same as categories in Learning Management System(LMS).
- The Competency connector is designed to create new competencies from the competency library export (Career Development Plan) and does not handle category associations.
- There is no category concept in HCM for this connector to map from.
Resolution
- Do not use the Competency connector for category-to-competency association; it is not supported for this purpose.
- Update competency categories manually within Learning Management System(LMS).
- Note that there is no mass update capability to assign categories to competencies in Learning Management System(LMS).
- Be aware that enabling competency.connector.sf.enableCategorySync=Y does not enable Learning category association for competencies.
- If this functionality is important for your use case, submit an enhancement request:
