BW/4HANA connection to SuccessFactors using Compoundemployee soap API instead Odata API

[MM-Ali]

Hello Team,

W want use Compoundemployee soap API instead Odata API instead of SF Odata API to connect BW/4HANA to SuccessFactors using the DP agent.

the reason is : OdataAdapter required for SF Odata API is not supported any more to run on the DP agent and it has to run in DP server in SAP HANA Database. meantime the direct connection from SAP HANA DB to SF is not allowed and it has to be through DP agent installed in a separate machine.

the DP agent , we can use SoapAdapter and use Compoundemployee Soap API instead to extract data from SF to BW/4HANA.

Appreciate your confirmation if we can use Soap API instead of OData API please  to connect BW/4HANA to SuccessFactors through SAP Data Provisioning Agent

The SOAP adapter provides access to SOAP Web Services via HANA SQL. Usually it is functions, please check the webservice and see if it support to extract data from the system, from DP agent, connection to SOAP webservice is supported.
