Ensure you have Admin privileges for your SAP SuccessFactors account with permission for the Manage Integration Tools > Manage OAuth2 Client Applications.

If you’ve been directed to StackOne to integrate with SAP SuccessFactors, the following steps will help you understand the process and any necessary actions to configure successful integration.

​
Locating API Server

1

Find the API Server

SAP uses multiple API server addresses. You will need to look up the API server that corresponds to your tenant domain on this table under the API Server column.

For example, if your domain was https://pmsalesdemo8.successfactors.com/ you would search for salesdemo8 in the table.

Copy the value in the API Server column (remove the final forward-slash /). In this example, the value would be https://apisalesdemo8.successfactors.com.

Use this value as the API Server value when connecting SAP SuccessFactors to StackOne.
