Use Domain Names Instead of IP Addresses for API Endpoints |

As part of SAP’s commitment to continued investment and enhancement of our Cloud services, SAP SuccessFactors is rolling out several network changes affecting API endpoints across all our datacenters.

If your organization does not maintain any allow-lists or hardcoded SAP SuccessFactors IP address, no action is needed. More information, including Key Dates, are provided in this SuccessFactors Community blog. |
