Dear Friends,
I've been implementing SAP SF ECP (S4 HANA Tech stack not old ECC SAP HCM) for KSA now.
I've done all required configurations for SAP SF EC- ECP Point to point replication as per below steps:
No errors in P2P replication in ECP. But no data replicated from EC to ECP.
I have tried to debug with my ABAPer with this KBA : https://me.sap.com/notes/3006964
ABAPer feedback :
As per SAP Note 3006964, the program ECPAO_EE_ORG_REPL_QUERY and transaction code ECPAO_EE_VIEWER do not exist in the system. This KBA is needs to be updated.
Structured Replication Activities (SAP SF EC to ECP) I followed:
Group 1: Foundational Integration and Infrastructure Setup (Point-to-Point Configuration)
This group focuses on establishing the secure communication link and core replication parameters between the EC and ECP systems.
| | | |
| | Activity/Configuration Step | Logical Task Domain |
| 1.1 | Assign all necessary permissions, including the SAP standard role SAP_HR_EC_PTP_CONFIG, to the configuration user in ECP. | User & Role Management |
| 1.2 | Create the technical user of type 'System User' in ECP (e.g., by copying template role SAP_HR_PA_EC_EE_BNDL_REPL_V3) to ensure EC can communicate successfully with ECP. | User & Role Management |
| 1.3 | Set up the connection between the ECP system and EC. | Connectivity Setup |
| 1.4 | Export client certificates from STRUST in ECP and import them to the Security Center in EC. | Security Setup |
| 1.5 | Create the Replication Target System object, either automatically using the ECP configuration report or manually in the EC Admin Center. | Target System Definition |
| 1.6 | Ping the Employee Central APIs using transaction HRSFEC_PTP_CONFIG to verify connectivity. | Connectivity Validation |
| 1.7 | Configure the Compound Employee API Query in ECP (Customizing > Personnel Management > Integration Settings for SuccessFactors EC Payroll) to specify data retrieval. | API Query Definition |
| 1.8 | Define custom query parameters in the Compound Employee API Query for filtering employees and employment based on criteria like Company, countries/regions, Employee Class, or Pay Group. | Filtering Definition |
| 1.9 | Refine the replication scope by filtering specific Infotypes (IT) to be replicated for certain countries/regions. | Infotype Filtering |
| 1.10 | Activating UI Integration Services. | User Interface Integration |

Group 3: Compensation and Wage Type Configuration
This section details the vital steps for ensuring EC Pay Components map correctly to ECP Wage Types and Infotypes.
# Activity/Configuration Step Logical Task Domain
| 3.1 | Ensure that pay components used in EC exist as Wage Types in ECP (by creating new ones, often copied from SAP model wage types). | Wage Type Catalog Maintenance |
