The Metadata Framework is used with the modules like Recruiting Management to build the application. These objects also provide “encapsulation,” meaning the data within an object is protected from being modified or destroyed by other functions or methods unless explicitly allowed. By defining a dataset as a custom object, a developer can easily create multiple similar objects and modify existing objects within a program. In the Metadata Framework (MDF), objects are used to provide a structured approach to programming. Each data model describes how its data elements are structured within a database. SAP SuccessFactors defines its data by using a number of preformed data models.
To elaborate just a little more on what is SuccessFactors - casually known as SF or SFSF, SuccessFactors is an HR tool that provides cloud-based software for human capital management (HCM), using the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.
