Why teams connect OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Success Factors

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Success Factors share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Success Factors is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: User, PerPerson, EmpEmployment, EmpJob in Success Factors need to exist as queryable Partitions, Tables, Views, Materialized views in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Partitions, Tables, Views, Materialized views in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) with User, PerPerson, EmpEmployment, EmpJob in Success Factors field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Success Factors typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write changes from SaaS applications back into OCI so PL/SQL-based processes operate on current data.
  • 02 Replicate operational tables from OCI to an analytics warehouse with log-based CDC instead of nightly batch dumps.
  • 03 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.
  • 04 Push new hires (PerPerson, EmpEmployment, EmpJob) into an ERP or payroll system so account, cost-center, and payroll setup fire on hire instead of manual Integration Center exports.

Common sync patterns

One directory of record

When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.

Reporting and analytics on current data

User, PerPerson, EmpEmployment, EmpJob replicate into OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Success Factors stay consistent in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud), so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

What you can sync between OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) 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.

OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) objects Success Factors objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized views Precomputed result sets sometimes used as stable read sources for replication 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. Materialized views is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespace boundaries that scope which objects a sync connection can access Position Position Management records for headcount and requisition planning; synced with an ATS or ERP to keep positions and reqs aligned. Schemas is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Position to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Key generators that matter when writing new rows from external systems PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. Sequences is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and PerEmail and PerPhone to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
PL/SQL procedures and packages Server-side logic that can react to synced data or transform it in place User Core identity/User entity behind role-based permissions; a model distinct from Employee Central, synced two-way with a directory or IdP and downstream apps. PL/SQL procedures and packages is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and User to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSON collections Document-style storage in the converged engine, synced alongside relational tables PerPerson Person-level container in Employee Central holding biographical data; effective-dated child entities (PerPersonal, PerEmail, PerPhone) hang off it. JSON collections is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and PerPerson to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Partitions Physical table subdivisions relevant when replicating large fact tables EmpEmployment Employment record tying a person to an employment period (hire, service dates); carries lastModifiedDateTime used for incremental polling. Partitions is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and EmpEmployment to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) 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.

OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) Success Factors Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC from redo logs (LogMiner or GoldenGate), or timestamp polling.

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

Success Factors OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) 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 OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • OCI Database (Oracle Cloud): Throughput bounded by instance sizing rather than API quotas.
  • 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.
