Why teams connect Dremio and Success Factors

Land the people and organization records from Success Factors in Dremio as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Success Factors can use them.

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Success Factors is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Dremio next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs PerPerson, EmpEmployment, EmpJob, EmpCompensation from Success Factors into tables in Dremio continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Dremio, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Success Factors where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.

Common use cases

  • 01 Reverse-ETL aggregates computed over lake data out to CRMs and finance tools for business users.
  • 02 Publish operational database tables into Iceberg via Dremio so the lakehouse reflects current application state.
  • 03 Write updated PerEmail, PerPhone, and User attributes back into SuccessFactors from an identity or directory system so contact data stays current.
  • 04 Two-way sync of User and EmpJob (position, department, manager, cost center) into Postgres so provisioning, internal apps, and analytics read current org data in SQL while HR edits in SuccessFactors.

Common sync patterns

Queryable history for planning and audit

A continuously synced copy in Dremio gives you a durable, queryable record of how Success Factors's records change over time, for headcount planning and audit questions.

Write-back of computed values

Segments, rollups, or risk flags computed in Dremio sync back onto the matching records in Success Factors, where the HR team sees them in the system they already use.

HR data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

People and organization records from Success Factors arrive in Dremio as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind, replacing hand-built extract jobs.

What you can sync between Dremio and Success Factors

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Dremio objects Success Factors objects How this pairing syncs
Physical datasets Tables and files promoted from sources; the raw data a sync ultimately reads. EmpEmployment Employment record tying a person to an employment period (hire, service dates); carries lastModifiedDateTime used for incremental polling. Physical datasets is specific to Dremio and EmpEmployment to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Virtual datasets (views) SQL views layering semantics over physical data; the preferred sync target for curated extracts. EmpJob Effective-dated job info: position, department, manager, FTE, pay grade, cost center; the most-synced record for downstream HR and provisioning. Virtual datasets (views) is specific to Dremio and EmpJob to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Apache Iceberg tables Lakehouse tables supporting DML and snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. EmpCompensation Effective-dated pay and compensation; usually read into a warehouse for reporting, writable for comp updates as new dated slices. Apache Iceberg tables is specific to Dremio and EmpCompensation to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Spaces and folders Namespaces that organize virtual datasets and govern access. Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) Org-structure master data (department, location, cost center, division); mastered elsewhere and written in, or read out to build org charts. Spaces and folders is specific to Dremio and Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reflections Materialized accelerations that make repeated extraction queries cheaper. Position Position Management records for headcount and requisition planning; synced with an ATS or ERP to keep positions and reqs aligned. Reflections is specific to Dremio and Position to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Jobs Query execution records useful for monitoring sync workloads. PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. Jobs is specific to Dremio and PerEmail and PerPhone to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dremio and Success Factors

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Dremio Success Factors Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Dremio for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via SQL.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Success Factors through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Success Factors Dremio Sub-second propagation

DetectionSuccess Factors notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on each entity's lastModifiedDateTime / lastModifiedOn (effective-dated entities require date-range handling).

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Dremio as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Dremio: Bounded by engine capacity and workload management rather than API rate limits.
  • Success Factors: OData calls are throttled at the tenant level (Access Limits for OData V2); large reads must be paginated (default page size 1000) via $top/$skip or paging cursors.
