SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Day 3

0:01 this conference will now be recorded business owners and the end users yes all all business owners are end users few end users are business owners so business owners are the ones who would be giving us the requirement okay usually from either HR department or from IT department okay okay yeah in an organization we have 10,000 employees out of those 10,000 employees we get the requirements from the owners of the processes who does the transfers who does the terminations who does the hiring it is usually the HR people so

0:48 they will give us the requirement saying that we have this process for transfer we have this process for terminations or promotions or data changes this is how employees no leaves our to be calculated so they would be giving us the requirement and those people are called the business owners okay yeah okay yeah venu I do have one question H so uh in the last actually you mentioned that about the data centers just like dc04 so in that case you have mentioned that GC 04 preview production so this is the same same data and under that same database we are having a

1:36 subsection datas within each data center we have different instances or multiple instances now if you look at this so all of these are in one data center all of these customers are in one data center okay we talked about the data center 4 so these customers systems are in data center 4 the data Center 4 is split into two parts preview and production okay both of them are in the same data center dc04 but data center is divided into two parts preview Data Center and production data center some of these instances have their information in preview and some instances have their data in production

2:22 data center okay so why do we have different data center is because of the release management okay it and yes yes and one more thing and when the release happen if we do have uh some integration applications basically uh we have integrated some data from other source Al at the same time so that release is going to impact on that data or our settings bation nothing nothing will get impacted the configurations will not not change configuration remains same but additional features would be added into the system okay okay

3:10 yeah okay anything else okay okay then today's topic is on the release management we'll talk about release management you all can see my screen right yes sir yes we know now release happens twice a year and we call them as 1 H and 2 H first

3:56 half of the year and second half of the year okay twice a year once in 6 months the release happens and the release contains majorly three upgrades first one is called automatically on or we were calling them Universal changes earlier okay second is customer configured or admin Ops okay third is contact enablement

4:44 partner majorly these ones we also have two more I'll tell you these are your provisioning Ops okay so all of the release functionalities are divided into these three either automatically or on customer configured or contact enablement partner automatically on or Universal features are those features which are applicable for all customers across the globe and you don't have to do anything in the system to see these changes they are Universal changes updated by success factors for all customers if you're using employee Central there are some Futures which are related to Universal are automatically on from that date you will see all of

53:34 score vu in the last session you said about the keeping the certification active what is is there any difference between certification active and the certification validation now once you do your certification so let's say I've done my certification in 2 1 H 2024 okay I've done my certification in one is 2024 so sap recommends you to be up to date with the new functionalities that means whatever release features that comes in in 2 2024 you should be up to date with them okay so to check whether you're up to date or not success factors gives you know you need to take up a test okay a small test on the release

54:23 features the existing release features okay free of cost no it is not free of cost so you need to have yeah you need to have a Learning Hub for that there's a portal called Learning Hub usually this is given by your implementation partner getting certified is your responsibility and keeping the certification active is your partners responsibility but if you don't have your certification active you'll not be a able to do the projects or you will not be able to implement for customers right so earlier till the last release every release we were doing this stay

55:10 currents or Deltas these are called the one what we are doing in Learning Hub is called a stay current or Delta to keep your certification active after every release you need to log to learning H and do the stay currents now State currents may contain five questions six questions or Max of 10 questions and you need to answer all of them correctly you can take it up any number of times you can also know but only thing is you need to answer all of them correctly they'll give you a handout with all of the know topics and they will ask you the questions from those topics only okay so now with this relas they

55:56 have changed the process now your certification is valid for one year you have done your certification in 1 H 2024 if you have missed 2 H 2024 it is valid till 1 H 2025 but you need to clear your stay current here in 1 H 2025 okay if you have missed 2 H 2024 you need to do Delta in 1 H 2025 your certification be active now next one is 2026 for next one year your certification would be active Okay so this happens for every release every

56:42 release for what is the timeline there's no timeline you can take it up know any number of times and you can use your own sweet time five five questions how many no how much time is required for you multiple choice no no those are six attempts like uh if you're taking six attempts package right oh you are talking about the validity of the subscription it is valid for one one year if you have unused attempts at the end of the year those will be lapsed that's okay vit had a question let me attempts or six attempts one attempt

57:29 yeah you can take one attempt also C 001 which costs you 18,000 INR okay if you're confident enough to know pass the certification in the first attempt you can go with one attempt only yes vajid you can use the second attempt or any any of your attempts for other modules duration of attempts is one year based on your purchase date so we know I have attempt and cleared it successfully after that if my location is changed to some other country can I use those attempt yes while scheduling the examination you

58:16 just have to choose what is the time zone that you want to have you go change the country you switch the time zones that is only used to schedule uh the certification in your time zone okay we one thing as you told that we have to on our webcam so uh do certification contain photo also certification doesn't contain any photos now they will the Proctor will look at your proof whether you are the one who is writing the certific doing the certification or not you need to show the government ID proof either AAR card or pan card or license whether the same person is doing

59:03 certification or not because many times it happens that know uh somebody else will do the certification for you right just to check they would be validating that venu Learning Hub subscription will be taken by the implementation partner okay am I correct H yeah yes in that case in that case okay if okay means we are at the mercy of the company to keep our certificate active yes why are we keeping the certification active for project implementation project implementation okay who does the

59:48 project implementation implementation partner implementation Partners okay so that's why they give you the access access to get updated or to keep your certification active so that they can place you in projects okay so you are getting benefit that your certification is active partners are getting benefit that they are getting projects and they have now they are using their consultant to implement but uh will there any okay any interference by the project manager like to recommend for certain people and not treend for certain people no that won't happen yeah if you are know if your project manager is happy you know

1:00:34 keeping you on bench then what will you do without certification your customer will ask you whether you have certification or not why don't you have certification your project manager will have to answer why you're know consultant doesn't have certification yeah SF is a global certification we don't have any local certifications country wise specifications certifications the certification is same across the globe same questions same setup everything is

1:01:20 same institutions are doing on behalf of students where is it you can recommend me some generally Institute now because these days people are doing all of people are doing people were doing all of these things earlier but now uh sap is tracking the IP address with which you have done your certification let's say you have somehow managed from someone of The Institute to get your certification clear okay if they are doing employee Central certifications multiple times now once in a day or no one in a day two in a day then they'll track they'll see if the IP address is

1:02:07 same then they'll cancel your certification they won't cancel anything no it is not loss for your institution it is loss for you you will have to pay for the certification again if you do multiple times they Blacklist you yeah Vu if I do uh certification in my two attempts like in the second attempt I cleared then I'm I will be left with four attempts right uh I can use the four so if I'm not able to uh join with any implementation partner in one year so am I able to use those four attempts for uh the Delta yes no Delta you cannot

1:02:53 do Delta from certification H certification Hub is different we are doing it from training. sap.com whereas the certificate the uh stay current is done from Learning Hub okay I'll give you those links also here this is your training. sap.com where you do your certification and then you have Learning Hub as well okay this is called Learning Hub let me add the community. success factor.com as

1:03:47 well okay certification Hub is only used to do your certification so venu uh can we do by our own uh basically can we join Learning Hub yes you can take subscription of Learning Hub but it is expensive there's no need of taking learning up in let's say if you have know lost your or if you if your certification is expired better you do your certification Learning Hub cost you somewhere 2.5 to 3 3 lakhs individual learning C now companies must be getting on a discounted price because they are the partners with

1:04:34 sap okay okay certification app cost you only 18,000 or 20,000 at the max for one attempt right you can do your certification again instead of doing or taking the Learning Hub Learning Hub there are many other uses of Learning Hub other than doing the delas you can know go through any of the content any modules content material is available in learning G community. success factors or training. doesn't give you material of uh
