How to Prepare for a #SuccessFactors #Delta Exam

How to Prepare for a Delta Exam

All you need to prepare for a Delta Exam is in the Learning Hub. Check Learning Content if you have the “Employee Central HCM Academy Learning Room” assigned for you. Check the learning room and you will find the tab “Delta Release” with 3 documents:

• 1502 EC Flipbook
• 1502 EC Implementation Handbook
• 1505 Content and Exercises (Link for more Content)

Basically you have to review the complete EC course with the named Delta Version (1505 at the moment). You could also check all the Release Notes for every release to know about the changes in Employee Central. If you have had some SuccessFactors projects, most things will be very familiar and you should focus on the new features like Position Management, MDF Objects, Business Rules and Time Off.

The Training & Certification Shop also gives you a good advice about the content of the EC Delta Exam. For Employee Central the exam is arranged as:

• Events and Language Implementation > 12%
• Foundation Objects and Generic Objects > 12%
• Data Models 8% – 12%
• Manage System Security 8% – 12%
• Manage Employee Data and Position Management 8% – 12%
• Manage Time Off 8% – 12%
• Rules and Workflows 8% – 12%
• Importing and Exporting Data < 8

You also find some test questions to practice with. The best preparation for me was a little MDF example with Business Rules and Workflows. It also helped to have a look at the XML Files. Understanding of Data Models, Time Off and Configuring & Amending Data is also important. Not all the questions in the Delta Exam of EC are just theory based. You have to know where features are in Employee Central, and how to change and work with Data and Configuration changes. But more about this later.

My Employee Central Delta Exam Experience

I was a bit nervous about the Exam as I had no idea about the questions. I had just finished an MDF Demo Showcase a week before for a client and it turned out that this was the best preparation for the exam. I spend around 2-3 days reviewing the Delta Exam documentation and the Implementation Handbook. It’s very hard to say if you are well prepared or not as you can’t study all 600 pages from the EC Flipbook by heart.

In my opinion, you should take care of your overall understanding how EC works and where to configure different things. I am not an expert in all topics and in my case I had to carefully repeat Time off and Import / Export. If you have implemented EC before, and regularly work with configuration then it’s not that hard to pass the Delta Exam. You just have to pass 40 multiple choice questions and with a pass mark of 63% (26 questions). That doesn’t sound much, but don’t underestimate it because there are lots of questions where 2 or 3 answers are correct. If you miss one correct answer, then you do not get any points for that question.

There are some questions I found tricky and had to check afterwards. Maybe it’s because I am not a native english speaker or I never read or heard something be referred to like that in EC.

In general I recommand you to have a close look at the mentioned topics for Employee Central.

Best practice is always export the pick list 



Before

After

now when we try to import the updated picklist,The system throws the below error message when importing the pick list.Error in communicating with server.OptionID

Root Cause for the error is the number used in the excel template :The optionid need to be left blank when importing after making the necessary addition.

after changes
