Why teams connect Success Factors and Vertica

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

Stacksync syncs EmpJob, EmpCompensation, Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter), Position from Success Factors into tables in Vertica continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Vertica, 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 Sync CRM accounts and opportunities into Vertica to join with large-scale behavioral or telemetry data.
  • 02 Land ERP transactions in Vertica for finance analytics without maintaining hand-built ETL jobs.
  • 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

Fresh data instead of last night's load

Because changes stream continuously, reports query current workforce data rather than waiting for an overnight load window to finish.

Queryable history for planning and audit

A continuously synced copy in Vertica 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 Vertica sync back onto the matching records in Success Factors, where the HR team sees them in the system they already use.

What you can sync between Success Factors and Vertica

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 Vertica objects How this pairing syncs
EmpCompensation Effective-dated pay and compensation; usually read into a warehouse for reporting, writable for comp updates as new dated slices. Tables Columnar tables; the primary read and write targets for syncs. EmpCompensation is specific to Success Factors and Tables to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Projections Sorted, encoded physical copies of table data that the optimizer selects at query time; they affect load and query behavior rather than being addressed directly. Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) is specific to Success Factors and Projections to Vertica — 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 Logical views used to shape reads for downstream consumers. Position is specific to Success Factors and Views to Vertica — 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. Flex Tables Schema-flexible tables for semi-structured JSON data landed before modeling. PerEmail and PerPhone is specific to Success Factors and Flex Tables to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. External Tables Data queried in place on files or object storage without loading. User is specific to Success Factors and External Tables to Vertica — 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. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by domain or source. PerPerson is specific to Success Factors and Schemas to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Success Factors and Vertica

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 Vertica 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 Vertica as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Vertica Success Factors Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Vertica for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction-log CDC.

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.
  • Vertica: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by cluster resources, and bulk COPY is preferred over row-by-row writes.
