Element Description

Select an Operation Type

Select the type of operation to perform on the business objects in an Oracle SuccessFactors application:

  • CRUD: Displays the insert, upsert, update, and delete operations to perform on SuccessFactors business objects. Select the operation and the business object on which to perform the operation.

  • SFQL: (SuccessFactors Query Language) enables you to define an SFQL-based query to send a request for querying a particular business object and retrieve the respective object’s information, which is queried from the SuccessFactors application. If you select this option, the page is refreshed to display a text box for entering a query.

    • SFQL query statement: Enter a valid SFQL query in the text box. The query can include custom fields and parameters. For example: 
      SELECT guid,name FROM Goal$7 WHERE userid = ‘USR-22'

      Use the Find field to search for an entry in the SFQL query and the Go to Line field to go to a specific line in the SFQL query.

      The query can include custom fields and parameters.

    • Binding Parameters: Displays any binding parameter, if included, in the specified query. For example, ‘firstname’ is a parameter in the following query: 
      SELECT firstname,lastname FROM user WHERE firstname = ‘&firstname’
      Enter a query with a parameter and press the Refresh button above Binding Parameters. A text box in which to enter a test value for the parameter is displayed.

    • Test My Query: Click to validate the query against the SuccessFactors application. The query response is displayed for a successful query. If the query is invalid, you receive a response for the errors in the query.

Filter by object name

Enter the initial letters of an object name to display a range of objects. You can also select a filter type:

  • All: Displays all objects available for the selected operation.

  • Custom: Displays objects that can be created in the SuccessFactors application for the selected operation. These business objects are identified by special icon (‘-’). For example, Goal-1, DevelopmentGoal-2002.

  • Standard: Displays business objects delivered as part of the SuccessFactors application.
