Description
A complete workshop!!!

This course discovers the SFAPI and ODATA APIs, which are the interoperability Mechanism offered by SAP Successfactors.

It will show how the various aspects of APIs, endpoint URLs, input / output parameters for API calls, access permissions, SFAPI and OData APIs, how to run them, various concepts around effective dated entities, operations like query, update (both variants merge and replace), upsert, delete, etc. can be searched and operated.

With this course, you will be able to gather the practical knowledge of working with APIs in depth, a necessity for any Successfactors consultant, Solution Architect and for that matter an enviable armor for SAP HCM Successfactors Functional Consultants.

Several use cases are also covered in the course in which it practically demonstrates how APIs can be called to meet the necessary goal of the API.

The years of practice and challenges that were encountered when calling the APIs, creating the objects, demystifying various aspects such as how to collect the values that a field should take; all have been placed on the course with the only ideology that a person should be able to start from the beginning and reach the end.

Also all learning is done from open source tools like SOAP ++ and Postman community editing and there is no need for Boomi / PI as paid tools for this course.
