The EmpowerID SAP HCM connector is read-only; EmpowerID pulls identity information from the HCM module, but does not write information back to it. This makes SAP HCM the authoritative source for user identities and attributes pulled from HCM. When you connect EmpowerID to the HCM module, it reads a list of people and the demographic information (name, work address, etc.) for each individual user, as well as the organization structure in order to associate the job functions of each user with the appropriate roles in EmpowerID. The connector inventories role and location information from the HRP1001 table.

Attribute Flow
Users in SAP HCM are inventoried as accounts in EmpowerID. The below table shows the attribute mappings of SAP HCM user attributes to EmpowerID Person attributes.

 Prerequisites

To connect EmpowerID to SAP, you need an SAP account, and you need to install SAP GUI Server on your EmpowerID Server.

You also need the following from SAP to create your Account Store.

  • Host Name of the BAPI endpoint

  • Username that is authorized to read from and write to the BAPI

  • Password

  • App server FQDN

  • Instance number

  • System ID

Additionally, each EmpowerID server used to run workflows or perform inventory functions must have the librfc32.dll assembly copied into the C:\Windows\System32 folder. EmpowerID uses the assembly to perform various SAP processes (inventory, workflows, etc.). You can download the assembly from EmpowerID at the following link: https://dl.empowerid.com/SAP/librfc32_x64.zip

As each organization's implementation, practices, and procedures with SAP differs, EmpowerID uses an SAP Data Analysis Utility to ensure the necessary tables can be read and the necessary BAPI's can be invoked. The utility reads from all the same tables as the connector and copies data from those tables into the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse. This provides EmpowerID with the opportunity to review and analyze data in order to modify connector logic before setting up the connection.
