Currently we are referring https://blogs.sap.com/2017/05/10/first-steps-with-sap-s4hana-cloud-sdk/ blogs for our side by side extensibility use cases.

We are trying to create a scenario for Building a side by side extensibility application to integrate successfactor and S/4 hana system using S4 SDK.

We couldn't find any blogs, sample code implementation to integrate successfactors and hana system.We found the below relevant blog.

https://github.com/SAP/cloud-s4-sdk-examples/tree/master/Employee-Browser-Neo

But we couldn't understand the detailed scenario and output of this GitHub sample code. It would be great if someone help us with blogs/urls/code.

currently, there is no dedicated material for SuccessFactors. However, I recommend the following blog post: https://blogs.sap.com/2018/04/30/deep-dive-10-with-sap-s4hana-cloud-sdk-generating-java-vdm-for-s4hana-custom-odata-service/

It describes how to generate the virtual data model for a custom OData service. You can use the same approach to connect to SuccessFactors.

As input for the generator, you would use the metadata file provided by SuccessFactors. You can for example access the $metadata path of the OData service.

Afterwards, can can use the generated Java classes to access the SuccessFactors API.

To connect to SuccessFactors, create a destination for your SuccessFactors system, e.g. called SuccessFactorsODataEndpoint. That works locally as environment variable or in the destination service on SAP Cloud Platform as explained here: https://blogs.sap.com/2017/05/21/step-4-with-sap-s4hana-cloud-sdk-calling-an-odata-service/

In the execute method in the virtual data model you can define which destination to use: .execute(new ErpConfigContext("SuccessFactorsODataEndpoint"))
