SAP SuccessFactors

The SAP SuccessFactors Connector is a powerful tool that allows you to connect with live data from SAP SuccessFactors and analyse the data directly in Tableau

Connector contains an embedded SQL Engine that pushes supported SQL operations to the data source and processes unsupported operations client-side (Query Folding):

• Issue complex queries using SQL-92-compliant operations and clauses.
• Leverage server-side data processing for supported operations.
• Build new relationships and custom datasets.

Connector supports bulk operations, push-down, client functions, aggregation and advanced TLS/SSL data encryption.

2. Move the .taco file here:
   • Windows: C:\Users[Windows User]\Documents\My Tableau Repository\Connectors
   • macOS: /Users/[user]/Documents/My Tableau Repository/Connectors
3. Install the JDBC Driver
