Connect to SAP SuccessFactors LMS Data in DBArtisan

The CData ODBC Driver for SAP SuccessFactors LMS seamlessly integrates SAP SuccessFactors LMS data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access SAP SuccessFactors LMS data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for SAP SuccessFactors LMS in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.

Integrate SAP SuccessFactors LMS Data into DBArtisan Projects

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

SAP SuccessFactors LMS uses OAuth authentication. Before connecting, you must configure an OAuth application tied to your SAP SuccessFactors LMS account.

To establish a connection, set the following properties:

• User: Your SAP SuccessFactors LMS username.
• CompanyId: Your SAP SuccessFactors company identifier.
• Url: The SAP SuccessFactors API URL (e.g., https://api4.successfactors.com).
• OAuthClientId: The client Id assigned when you registered your custom OAuth application.
• OAuthClientSecret: The client secret assigned when you registered your custom OAuth application.

See the Getting Started chapter of the help documentation for a guide to creating a custom OAuth app and using OAuth.

You can then follow the steps below to register SAP SuccessFactors LMS data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic ODBC.
3. Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN. 👁 The DSN of the data source to be registered. (Salesforce is shown.)
   
4. Finish the wizard to connect to SAP SuccessFactors LMS data. SAP SuccessFactors LMS entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer. 👁 The Datasource Explorer. (Salesforce is shown.)
   

You can now work with SAP SuccessFactors LMS data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the SAP SuccessFactors LMS API.
