Detailed Description

API The SOAP-based SFAPIs for Employee Central, except the CompoundEmployee API, will reach end of maintenance on May 17, 2024 and will be deleted on November 20, 2026. End of Development was reached on May 17, 2019; End of Maintenance was reached on May 17, 2024; the feature will be permanently deleted on November 20, 2026. You can continue to use the software, but you should begin planning for a time when it will no longer be available for use. We wanted to give customers more time to migrate to OData APIs.

Impact Assessment

SuccessFactors implementations that use this functionality must take action before the deletion date to avoid business disruption. End of Maintenance was May 17, 2024, meaning SAP no longer provides bug fixes or patches. The feature will be permanently removed on November 20, 2026, after which it will be completely unavailable in production. SAP recommends migrating to method for your business scenario. Implementation teams must audit current usage, communicate with stakeholders, complete the migration to the replacement solution, and test all affected business processes before the deletion date.

Test Recommendations
• Verify that the deprecated/deleted feature is no longer accessible in the test environment after the effective date. • Confirm that all business processes previously using this feature have been migrated to the replacement solution. • Run end-to-end process tests for the scenarios that previously relied on this feature to confirm continuity. • Validate that no error messages, broken links, or missing UI elements appear where the feature previously existed. • Confirm that historical data and audit logs remain accessible and intact after the feature is removed. • Test integration endpoints and API calls for correct data exchange, authentication, and error handling.
