Workday operation

The Workday operation defines how to interact with your Workday account and represents a specific action to be performed against a specific Workday object type (Adjust\_Time\_Off, Add\_Dependent, Add\_Stock\_Grant, etc.).

The Workday connector operation supports the Execute action. You must create a separate operation component for each object required for your integration.

When importing profiles, date and dateTime fields should be in one of two formats that are supported: date yyyy-MM-ddZZ and dateTime yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZ.

note

During an import, if you choose to filter by Workday operation, filters must be entered exactly as they appear in Workday.

Options tab

When you create a new operation or want to change the service specified, use the Options tab. Click Import Operation to use the Import wizard and select the object you want to integrate with. An import is always required to change the Service Name, Custom Service Name, and to re-import objects. Otherwise, the component XML is not updated.

The following fields appear on the Options tab:

Connector Action - The Connector Action field is set to Execute and is not configurable.

Object - An object defines what you want to integrate or the action to run, which you select in the Import Operation wizard.

Tracking Direction - Select the document tracking direction for the operation, either Input Documents or Output Documents. This setting enables you to choose which document appears in Process Reporting. Start steps always track output documents regardless of your selection.

note

If the tracking direction is read-only, the feature to change the direction is either unavailable or the developer set the configuration to read-only. The default value you see shows you which document appears in Process Reporting.

Request/Response Profile - The XML profile definition that represents the structure sent or received by the connector.

Return Application Error Responses - This setting controls whether an application error prevents an operation from completing:

  • If you clear the setting, the process stops and reports the error on the Process Reporting page.
  • If you select the setting, processing continues and passes the error response to the next component processed as the connection output.

Return All Pages - If selected, the connector makes repeated calls to the endpoint so that all pages are returned as separate documents.

If cleared, the maximum number of documents returned is the default of 100.

note

Paging works only when Response_Filter is present in the request and Response_Results is present in the response.

Service Name - The name of the Workday service you want to interact with. For new operations or to change the service, click Import and select the Workday service you want to use.

note

You must select Custom to specify a Workday service that is available to your account, but not displayed in the drop-down list. The Service Name field always takes precedence over Custom Service Name.

Custom Service Name
The name of the custom Workday service you want to interact with. Use this field to specify a Workday service that is not included in Service Name. For new operations or to change the service, click Import, set the Service Name to Custom, and enter a valid Workday service. The Workday service should match exactly how it appears in Workday (name and format).

note

Your processes using a custom Workday service are still supported even if that service is added to the Service Name drop-down list.
