Upgrade Considerations

• If User Management is selected, you must add the following parameters for the Create policy:

  Field Name	Help Text	Type
  Username	The user's name	String
  Password	The user's password	Secret
  Userid	The user's ID	String
  User.Status	The user's active status (Active/Inactive)	String
  User.FirstName	The user's first name	String
  User.LastName	The user's last name	String
  User.Email	The user's email address	String

• The Termination Date attribute support is provided for Employees and Contingent workers. In order to leverage this functionality, you must add the Termination Date attribute manually with the property as String and the Description as "It populates Termination Date for Employees and WorkOrder End Date for Contingent Workers".

• Secure communication is enforced. This may cause the Test Connection to fail with the following error if IBM JDK 1.8 is used:

  [ConnectorException] [Possible suggestions] Ensure configuration parameters are correct with a valid format, Ensure active network connectivity between Source and Target system. [Error details] javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

  In order to resolve this issue, set the value of the com.ibm.jsse2.overrideDefaultTLS property to true in Java properties.

• To enable or disable accounts and change account passwords after upgrading, add the following featuresString to the existing application:

  featuresString="SEARCH, PROVISIONING, SYNC_PROVISIONING, MANAGER_LOOKUP, ENABLE, PASSWORD, ADDITIONAL_ACCOUNT_REQUEST, ACCOUNT_ONLY_REQUEST"

• The SuccessFactors connector supports role and group aggregation. To leverage this functionality you must manually add the following schema attributes:

  • Account Attributes – Add Groups and Roles attributes. For more information, refer to Account Attributes.

  • Group Attributes – Add all the attributes listed in the Group and Role Attributes section.

  Note

  When you add the above attributes in upgraded applications, ensure that their type and property is correct as follows:

  • For Roles type – Role and Properties: Multi-Valued

  • For Groups type – Group and Properties: Managed, Entitlement, Multi-Valued

• To perform the aggregation, refer to the Required Permissions to provide Manage Role-Based Permission Access to the service account.
