Create a read request to SAP SuccessFactors

Implement the request

Find the TODO in the readSfsfAppointmentsByPerson function in src/read-appointments.ts. Instead of returning an empty array implement a request to retrieve employee time from SAP SuccessFactors. You can try to implement this on your own using the following hints or peek at the solution and copy the implementation.

Use the employeeTimeApi.requestBuilder() to create a request to get all EmployeeTime. Create the request by using the predefined variables.

Select the following properties:

• employeeTimeApi.schema.EXTERNAL_CODE,
• employeeTimeApi.schema.START_TIME,
• employeeTimeApi.schema.START_DATE,
• employeeTimeApi.schema.END_TIME,
• employeeTimeApi.schema.END_DATE,
• employeeTimeApi.schema.APPROVAL_STATUS,
• employeeTimeApi.schema.USER_ID

Add the following filters:

• employeeTimeApi.schema.TIME_TYPE should equal timeType
• employeeTimeApi.schema.USER_ID should equal personId
• employeeTimeApi.schema.START_DATE should be greater or equal to from
• employeeTimeApi.schema.END_DATE should be less or equal to to

This time, execute this request against the destination with a destinationName - SFSF.

Reload your locally deployed application in the browser and check, whether there are new appointments, especially vacations.

Next step: Deploy your application to Cloud Foundry
