Notes from the morning of day 1. Kalan presented an overview of Workday Integrations
Everything going in or out of Workday goes through a web services API for consistency
2 integration tools - Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) and Workday Studio
The Workday Integration Network
- HCM Network
- Benefits Network
- Payroll Network (Interface)
- Workday Payroll (Network)
- Workday Spend Network
- Workday Financial Network
bulk loads typically don;t happen - usually one data item is transferred at a time
Reviewed a few use cases (see Workday slide deck)
Typical Integrations Mix - Configured (Workday Integration Network - 30%), EIB (simple - 45%), Workday Studio (complex - 25%)
Studio is an Eclipse based language
EIB Integrations Outbound: => Get Data -> Transform -> Deliver -> External System
Inbound: External System -> Get Data -> Transform - > Deliver
