Description

HTTP header X-SF-Correlation-Id is deleted on May 15, 2026.See More

Detailed Description

The proprietary HTTP header X-SF-Correlation-Id, used for tracing and troubleshooting OData and REST API issues in SuccessFactors, is being deleted on May 15, 2026. SAP has replaced it with the standard header x-correlation-id. As of the 2H 2025 release, X-SF-Correlation-Id is no longer respected in request headers or returned in response headers; customers must update integrations to use x-correlation-id before the deletion date.

Impact Assessment

All integrations, monitoring tools, and troubleshooting processes that rely on the X-SF-Correlation-Id header for API tracing must be updated to use the standard x-correlation-id header. Since the header is already non-functional as of the 2H 2025 release, any integrations still sending or reading X-SF-Correlation-Id are already affected. The formal deletion on May 15, 2026 makes this change permanent and official.

Test Recommendations
• Audit all integration code and API calls to identify any usage of the X-SF-Correlation-Id request or response header • Replace all occurrences of X-SF-Correlation-Id with the standard x-correlation-id header in integration code • Test that API tracing and troubleshooting works correctly using x-correlation-id after the update • Verify that API responses no longer include X-SF-Correlation-Id and correctly include x-correlation-id • Update monitoring and logging configurations to capture x-correlation-id instead of X-SF-Correlation-Id
