Sealing Confirmation for Learning Integration with SF - "Not confirmed" status implications/actions?

[james_aurich]

This is for the upcoming Q&A H1 2023 release webinar for Learning.

One of the listed changes is "You can now review the status of your SuccessFactors Learning and Platform integration." In checking the System Configuration for Bizx for our development/staging system, Our SuccessFactors Platform to Learning Integration is "Not confirmed". What are the implications and what needs to be done? Currently, we are integrated via the "User Connector - SF". Is that going to change somehow?

Hello James,

I am checking this feature too, and as far as it looks, this will not be a problem related with the integrations that you could have with LMS. In the note SAP talk about other kind of features in the future (and near present as Talent Intelligence Hub) that will need this confirmation. I think that you can try doing some test in Preview to see if there is any problem related with the User Connector - SF. As long as none of these features are mandatory; I believe, We should not have an impact.

The "User Connector - SF" is independent of tenant sealing. Please review the topic below. As indicated, SuccessFactors will start to automatically seal certain environments - details will be communicated to customers in advance. Sealing is a prerequisite for many innovations including Talent Intelligence Hub, AI Recommendations and the new Learning Experience planned to start rolling out at the end of 2023. More information is available on the referenced innovation alert as well.

Thanks Carolyn. My concern is that we use the integration center to transform some of the data before being sent to the SFTP that is then brought into Learning via the "User Connector - SF". If, somehow, that will change and we will not be able to transform some of the data, it will create significant issues for us, hence the question.

As I read the information, it sounded like no such changes/transformations could be made once sealed. Is this "sealing" only applicable to situations where the integration between Learning and BizX is via API instead of the connector?

could you clarify if tenant name change can happen before or after the sealing action ?

we have plan to rename a bizX dev environment & LMS dev environment to match our instance naming convention.

these sealing action is occuring over the summer and sealing will take place automatically on september :

how all the customer can pay attention to these communication and take the necessary actions on time before it's too late ?

Hi Pboulicaut, 

I was also looking for this information. In the meantime did you have any answer to your questions? Did you seal your test environment?
Thank you in advance, 
Best Regards,

Samuel
