Create an SAP SuccessFactors Extensibility Service Instance in the Kyma Environment

Prerequisites

• Before creating an SAP SuccessFactors Extensibility service instance in the Kyma environment, see Create a Service Instance to Consume the SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite OData API.

• Have the Kyma environment enabled for the subaccount you are using. See Creating a Kyma Instance.

• Configure the roles in the Kyma environment. See Assign Roles in the Kyma Environment.

• The SAP BTP Operator module is enabled. See Adding and Deleting a Kyma Module

• Have the entitlements of the SAP SuccessFactors Extensibility service configured. See Configure the Entitlements for the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Extensibility Service.

Context

During the creation of the service instance, a destination on the subaccount level with the same name as the service instance name is automatically created in this subaccount. It contains all instance binding properties which are sufficient to establish connection to the SAP SuccessFactors system.

Note:

Make sure that you don't already have a destination with the same name as the service instance. If you do, you will not be able to create the service instance.

Procedure

1. Navigate to the subaccount for which you want to create an SAP SuccessFactors Extensibility service instance.

2. On the subaccount Overview page, in the Kyma Environment section, open the Kyma dashboard.

3. Choose Namespaces from the left-hand side navigation and open the namespace in which you want to create a service instance.

4. Choose Service Management > Service Instances from the left-hand side navigation.

5. In the Service Instances page, choose Create Service Instance in the upper right-hand corner. A new dialog opens.

6. Choose the Advanced tab and fill in the following fields:

   • Give a meaningful name of the new SAP SuccessFactors Extensibility service instance.

   • In the Offering Name field, enter sap-successfactors-extensibility, which is the technical name of the SAP SuccessFactors Extensibility service.

   • In the Plan Name field, enter api-access.

   • Expand Instance Parameters.

     To define the authentication type for the API access, specify the parameters listed in this JSON file: API Access Configuration JSON File.

7. Choose Create.

Next Steps

After creating the SAP SuccessFactors Extensibility service instance, you have to bind the instance to an application, and it will be assigned an access URL and credentials to the corresponding API. See Using SAP BTP Services in the Kyma Environment.
