Center of Capabilities
UniversalCenter of Capabilities
Center of Capabilities is a new framework that provides a centralized repository known as
Capabilities Library to capture the capabilities of people in an organization.
Capabilities include competencies, work styles, work values, and other organization-defined
attributes that enable people to achieve desired outcomes. In this release, the supported
capability type is competency.
You can perform the following tasks by using Center of Capabilities:
• Create and manage competencies and the associated behaviors based on organization-
specific requirements.
• Create a library structure to organize competencies under different libraries, categories,
and groups.Center of Capabilities
With Center of Capabilities, SAP plan to change the way capabilities are captured on both people
and experiences across SAP SuccessFactors products. This initiative aims to shift the approach
towards work as being more people focused than job focused. To meet this objective, SAP plan to
make Center of Capabilities the preferred framework to support the following features in future
releases:
• Provide users the ability to create a portfolio of their capabilities.
• Support additional capability types, such as skills and certifications.
• Introduce a proficiency rating scale for users to rate their skills.
• Allow SAP SuccessFactors products to consume capabilities from the centrally maintained
Capabilities Library.
In the current version:
• You can create competencies in Center of Capabilities and not in Job Profile Builder.
• The unique identifiers for competencies are displayed in the External Code field in Center
of Capabilities.
In the previous version:
• You created competencies in Job Profile Builder.
• The unique identifiers or GUIDs for competencies were displayed in the GUID field in Job
Profile Builder.Center of Capabilities

Auto Data Purge Available in All Types of Instances
UniversalAuto Data Purge Available in All Types of Instances
Auto Data Purge is introduced to all types of instances in addition to preview instances. Documents and
audit data are purged periodically when they’re configured to be purged and exceed the retention period
defined.
The Auto Data Purge process has been used to purge data periodically in preview instances as of the 1H
2020 release. In the 1H 2021 release, SAP has extended the Auto Data Purge process to production, test,
development, and sales demo instances. You can choose which type of data you want to purge and set the
retention period. SAP offer the following updates of Auto Data Purge in this release:
• Default settings of the Auto Data Purge tab are different depending on instance types.
• SAP renamed all the data types to better categorize the target data of Auto Data Purge. The scope of
target data and the impact of purging them remain unchanged.
o Attachments is renamed to Documents.
o Person Related Audit Data is renamed to Audit Data Containing Personal Identifiable Information.
o Non-Person Related Audit Data is renamed to Audit Data Without Personal Identifiable
Information.
Auto Data Purge is introduced to all types of instances to further optimize cloud storage and improve data
storage efficiency.Auto Data Purge Available in All Types of Instances
In the current version, a new tab Auto Data Purge is added in

Customers want to restrict who can perform batch operations on search results to ensure that this function is only used for administrative purposes. This enhancement is from a Customer Community Idea.

SAP SuccessFactors Metadata Framework
SAP SuccessFactors Metadata Framework now includes different object categories to determine
the type of data that an object represents.
SAP SuccessFactors Metadata Framework supports, Configuration, User Transactional, Non-User
Transactional, Technical, and Uncategorized object categories. For pre-delivered objects, the
object category is predefined and can't be changed.
In future releases, these object categories will help you define the default behavior and apply
certain restrictions to the objects based on the type of data they represent.
For example:
• Transport of objects from one instance to another instance is restricted if they belong to the
Technical object category.
• Default behavior is defined such that field extensions aren’t supported for objects that belong
to the Configuration object category.Object Categories in SAP SuccessFactors Metadata Framework
