1 Introduction

You are currently integrating Employee Central Time Off with Employee Central Payroll on software component
PA_SE_IN using Dell Boomi Atomsphere as the middleware and would like to migrate to integration on software
component EA-HRRXX with point-to-point replication. This guide will show you the steps you need to take to
migrate your data to the new software component and preliminary steps you need to take before you can set up
point-to-point replication.

Here is a high-level overview of the individual steps and where you can find more detailed information about them:

2 Granting Users the Necessary Permissions

 Remember

If you are already using proxy-based replication you can skip this section.

Your API user need permissions to access the APIs. Since you've already replicated time data, the API User most
probably already has the required permissions. If you're not sure about that, please see chapter Set up Permissions
in the Integrating Time Off and Employee Central Payroll guide in the SAP Help Portal.

For more information about role-based permissions – what they are, how they work, how you set them up – please
see Implementing Role-Based Permissions in the SAP Help Portal.

3 Transfer settings to Data Replication
Configuration and create Proxies

Context

 Remember

If you are already using proxy-based replication you can skip this section.

Data Replication Configuration in Employee Central replaces parts of the settings stored as Process Properties of
your current scheduled Dell Boomi process. Start transferring the data from Dell Boomi to the object. To do so, call
up the Process Property view of the respective processes and in parallel go to the Data Replication Configuration
object in the Admin Center Manage Data Data Replication Configuration .

Procedure

1. Give your configuration a name in the External Name field.

2. Enter the replication target system in the Replication Target System field.
3. For Replication Target Type, choose Employee Absence Data.
4. In the Earliest Selection Date field enter the ECERP_FULL_TRANSMISSION_START_DATE from Dell Boomi. Only
absences with an end date on or after this date are considered for replication. With delta transmission the
calculation of the earliest selection date is no longer needed by Data Replication Configuration, because delta
transmission only sends data that isn't in_synch yet anyway. If you are currently using a calculated full
transmission start date, you have to enter the date as of when you want replication to begin.
5. If you have created a business rule for the Employee Data Replication Status object in Employee Central that
allows the replication of time data to the payroll system when the payroll area is in correction phase, disable the
rule now. Set the Always Allow Replication in Payroll Correction Phase indicator to Yes.
6. Copy the information as described in this table:

Transfer the data from this field in Dell Boomi Process

To this field of Data Replication Configuration: properties:

Country Assignment ECERP_COMPANY_TERRITORY_CODE

Company Assignment ECERP_COMPANY

Employee Class Assignment ECERP_EMPLOYEE_CLASS

7. Save your entries.

6 CONFIDENTIAL Transfer settings to Data Replication Configuration and create Proxies
  Caution

Don't move on to the next step unless you are sure you've completed setting up the Data Replication
Configuration object, or else you may generate incorrect or unnecessary proxies.

8. Go back to Edit mode and set the Execute Proxy Creation Job flag to Yes and save.

This starts a job that creates the data replication proxy objects for the current configuration settings.

 Note

The flag is automatically set back to No immediately after you save. You can check the status of job type
Data Replication Proxy Creation in Admin Center Monitor Job . If there are errors, correct them and
restart the job by setting the Execute Proxy Creation Job flag back to Yes.

4 Stop old Processes and Web Service

Now it's time to stop the old replication process so that you can start the new proxy-based replication process. You
also have to turn off the Web Service.

Prerequisite

Check the Data Replication Monitor for replication errors. Make sure all replication errors are solved before you
continue.

Stop processes in the middleware

To stop the middleware processes, go to the Dell Boomi system:

1. Under Manage, go toAtom Management

2. In the Deployed Processes screen, choose your process and right-click to open the dropdown menu.
3. Choose Stop Schedules.
Before starting the new proxy-based replication process, you need to stop the replication process you are
using:
○ BOOMI-Versions without Data Replication Proxies
○ ○ Packaged Integration: EC to EC Payroll - Employee Time Replication V2.0
○ Packaged Integration: EC to EC Payroll - Employee Absence Data Replication v3.0
○ BOOMI-Version with Data Replication Proxies
○ ○ Packaged Integration: SuccessFactors Employee Central to ERP - Absence Data Replication

Turn off the Web Service

To turn off the Web Service, go to the Employee Central Payroll system and deactivate the following web service:

Web Service Component

EmployeeTimeECToERPRequest_In PA_SE_IN

For more information about we services, see SOA Manager documentation.

8 CONFIDENTIAL Stop old Processes and Web Service
5 Migrate Reference Mapping Tables

Context

Next you have to migrate content from the reference mapping table PAOCFEC_REFMAP of software component
PA_SE_IN to reference mapping table HRSFEC_D_REFMAP of the new software component EA-HRRXX. The
reference mapping tables make the connection between the Absences in Employee Central Payroll and the
Absences in Employee Central.

 Remember

The web service must be deactivated, see section in the Stop old Processes and Web Service [page 8]
document.

Procedure

In the Employee Central Payroll system, enter transaction code HRSFEC_TIMREPL_A2S_A.

It is recommended to choose Simulate first and review the results, before you start the actual migration by pushing
the Migrate button.

 Note

If there are existing entries in table HRSFEC_D_REFMAP at the time off migration, the values that are migrated
are added to the existing content. Existing content is not overwritten.

6 Create Code Value Mapping

Context

If you maintained customer-specific mapping in the past, you have to recreate the mapping you created for
TIME_TYPE_CODE in the old software component now for TIME_TYPE in the new software component.

Procedure

1. In the Customizing for Personnel Management Integration Settings for SuccessFactors Employee Central
Payroll Assignment of Code Values For Point-to-Point Replication Display Code Value Mapping as
Delivered by SAP .
a. Scroll through the list until you find the Data Type TIME_TYPE.
b. In the Mode column you can see that the mode is set to Mapping via customer table by default. If, in the
past, you didn't maintain the mapping table but used the replicated codes from Employee Central directly,
you change the mode to Mapping via customer table or identical mapping in the next step.

2. In the Customizing for Personnel Management Integration Settings for SuccessFactors Employee Central
Payroll Assignment of Code Values For Point-to-Point Replication Maintain Properties for Code Value
Mapping .
a. Create a new entry for data type TIME_TYPE.
b. In the Mode column you can see that the mode is set to Mapping via customer table or identical mapping.
3. If you don't want to use the Employee Central values and would like to map the Employee Central values to ERP
code values, you can do so in the Customizing for Personnel Management Integration Settings for
SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll Assignment of Code Values For Point-to-Point Replication
Maintain Code Value Mapping . In this Customizing activity you have to map the code values of Employee
Central Data Type TIME_TYPE to the corresponding ERP Code Values.

Check your old tables for which values are maintained for TIME_TYPE_CODE and create the corresponding
entries in the new table for TIME_TYPE.

You can derive the 2-digit ISO country codes from the description text of the List ID's value help.
a. In the old table T77SFEC_MAP_CC, in the Code List ID column, choose the respective item and press F4,
you'll get a list of Code List IDs. For example, you choose Code List ID 92004 and press F4, you get the list
of IDs, scroll until you find code list ID 92004. In the Name column you'll see text: Time Type Code - ES. In
this case, ES is the 2-digit ISO country code you are looking for.
b. Enter the ISO country code in the table T77SFEC_CVMAPC in field ISO Code. You can leave the Alternative
List ID in the table empty.

You are now ready to implement Time off and Employee Central Payroll integration with point-to-point replication.
Since your system is already set up to an extent, you may not have to go through all the steps. For more
