Import Data Connection to SAP SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics

You can create a connection that allows you to import models from Workforce Analytics.

Prerequisites

A valid Workforce Analytics account is required to import data from Workforce Analytics to SAP Analytics Cloud. A proper setup on Workforce Analytics is also required to enable the connection. For more information, see the SAP Analytics Cloud Connector for SAP SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics guide.

When registering the OAuth Client Application on the Workforce Analytics site, after Certificate Generation you need to download the certificate before selecting register. If you miss this step, you need to regenerate the X.509 Certificate and download the .pem file.

When editing a Workforce Analytics connection, you have to re-enter the certificate and other secure credentials.
