Why teams connect Success Factors and Teradata Vantage

Land the people and organization records from Success Factors in Teradata Vantage 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 Teradata Vantage next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs EmpCompensation, Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter), Position, PerEmail and PerPhone from Success Factors into tables in Teradata Vantage continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Teradata Vantage, 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 Land SaaS and ERP data into Vantage to join with existing enterprise history
  • 02 Activate warehouse data into operational tools on a schedule instead of manual exports
  • 03 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.
  • 04 Replicate EmpCompensation and EmpJob effective-dated history into a warehouse for headcount, attrition, and compensation reporting without CSV pulls.

Common sync patterns

Write-back of computed values

Segments, rollups, or risk flags computed in Teradata Vantage 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 Teradata Vantage as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind, replacing hand-built extract jobs.

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine Success Factors's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in Teradata Vantage for reporting the HR system cannot produce on its own.

What you can sync between Success Factors and Teradata Vantage

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.

Success Factors objects Teradata Vantage objects How this pairing syncs
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. Users In Teradata, users are databases with a password, and they own objects and space. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
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. Tables The primary sync unit for both extraction and loading. Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) is specific to Success Factors and Tables to Teradata Vantage — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Position Position Management records for headcount and requisition planning; synced with an ATS or ERP to keep positions and reqs aligned. Views The conventional access layer in Teradata shops; syncs often read views rather than base tables. Position is specific to Success Factors and Views to Teradata Vantage — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. Macros Stored parameterized SQL that encapsulates repeatable reads. PerEmail and PerPhone is specific to Success Factors and Macros to Teradata Vantage — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
PerPerson Person-level container in Employee Central holding biographical data; effective-dated child entities (PerPersonal, PerEmail, PerPhone) hang off it. Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of load workflows. PerPerson is specific to Success Factors and Stored procedures to Teradata Vantage — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
EmpEmployment Employment record tying a person to an employment period (hire, service dates); carries lastModifiedDateTime used for incremental polling. Columns Teradata SQL types mapped to the paired system's field types during sync. EmpEmployment is specific to Success Factors and Columns to Teradata Vantage — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Success Factors and Teradata Vantage

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.

Success Factors Teradata Vantage 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 Teradata Vantage as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Teradata Vantage Success Factors Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Teradata Vantage for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Query-based polling.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Teradata Vantage: Concurrency is governed by workload management rules on the system rather than API quotas.

How the Success Factors and Teradata Vantage connectors work

Success Factors

Integration surface
OData V2 and V4 REST APIs (plus legacy SFAPI / Compound Employee SOAP API)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 SAML Bearer Assertion — register an OAuth client for an API key (used as client_id), then exchange a signed SAML assertion for a short-lived access token; legacy HTTP Basic auth is being retired
Change detection
Polling on each entity's lastModifiedDateTime / lastModifiedOn (effective-dated entities require date-range handling); Intelligent Services can also push a fixed set of standard business events (e.g. Employee Hire) to a REST endpoint
