Interview Questions: Core Connectors (Part 2)

As mentioned in my previous blog article, below are some more interview questions on Workday core connectors.

How to send out output documents to external endpoints and what are the available options?

We can deliver output data to external endpoints such as SFTP/FTP utilizing a distribution solution that is provided by workday. We have to include delivery with a service process step. So as soon as a document is created, the following step will go through the business process which will certainly be document delivery.

How do you Configure Delivery?

On your Integration,

Step1: Go to  >> create, copy, or link definition.

Add a brand-new step ‘c’, pick the kind as “service” and also in define pick “document shipment”. Click OK.

Step2: You will certainly get an error that the distribution endpoint is not set up. Click on “Configure Record Shipment” to configure the endpoint.

Step3: Select the transport type from the list. Fill in the credentials. Click OK.

How to set up a Core connector to show the hires in the last 1 month?

• As of entry moment: This will be the current date and time.

• Effective date: This will certainly be today’s day as I intend to examine till today.

• Last effective as of access moment: This will certainly be the date field which will certainly have worth (today– 30) days.

• Last effective date: This will certainly be once more (today– 30) days.

• This way integration will look for workers who worked within the last one month.

What are the various other launch Parameters apart from Workday dates in Core Connectors Worker?

Workers: This is a filter, while you intend to run your integration for a specific checklist of employees after that you have an option to select certain employees for whom you want to see the purchases. This is optional.

Restrict results by organizations: then here you have a choice to select specific Orgs for which you want to see the transactions. This is optional.

Full Documents: This is a checkbox item. If you inspect this checkbox, after that the integration will not seek adjustments and offers you all values since the integration run date. This overlooks Last effective as of entry moment and also the Last successful effective day. If you don’t pick this choice, it will just discover changes and include those documents in the output who have changes in one or more outcome fields. By default, this option is not selected.

How to choose areas for the result of integration?

To start with you need to pick the solution related to which you wish to show in the output. For instance, If you desire settlement relevant areas in your result, then pick checkbox against “Core Connector: Employee/ Employee Compensation Data Area Fields”

After that go to “Set up Combination Area Attributes” as well as select the areas that you require in the result.

Yes, we can pick all purchase or service processes to include in the output.

We can achieve this with the Configure Integration transaction Log option Nonetheless, initially, we need to choose the transaction log service while selecting the services.

Select the checkbox for Override default data to do adjustments.

To select all purchases, choose to sign up for all transaction types.

To select particular transactions, get in the transaction name and register for specific transaction kinds.

What are the actions associated with developing a core connector?

Step1: Look for the job “Produce integration system”. Enter the name for integration as well as a select template for integration. Example – “core port worker” which provides group information for employees.

Step2: Select the solutions based on the need/requirement. Examine the appropriate checkboxes.

Step3: You will obtain an error mentioning “Web page Mistake – There are Integration Attributes allowed for this Integration System that are marked as “Required for Launch”,  but do not have a value assigned to them.”

Please use the Related Menu Item Integration System >> Configure Integration Credits to finish the arrangement. Assign the values to features based on need. There are some compulsory features which will be shown as “Required for launch”.

Step4: You can specify eligibility problems or standards. Go to Integration System >> Configure Integration Area Override. Qualification conditions will certainly review which employees are qualified for this Integration. You are required to select the Boolean area under “Bypass outside the field”.

Step5: Then based on the demand you can pick fields which supplier wants in outcome with Combination System >> Configure Integration Field Features.

Step6: If your vendor is expecting any additional fields which are not in the core adapter, then you can make use of an area override solution to add those extra fields.

Step7: Launch/Schedule Integration 

Can we offer a personalized name to the output file as per vendor requirements?

Yes, We can do this by using a series generator. Go to Integration system >> Configure Integration Series Generators.

We need to specify the values under Sequence definition according to demands.

What is mapping and also exactly how to map fields in integration?

Mapping is made use of to map workday fields to external values.

As an example, if you want to map gender values, Workday stores values like Male, Female, Unidentified. Just however before your vendor wants to see the values as M, F, U

So you map it by doing this Man- M, Female- F, Unknown- U.

Your result file will hold these values( M, F, U) instead of Workday delivered values.

These are the collective questions that we have shortlisted and answered. Hope this was of help. You can also visit our website for more information and the latest blogs related to Workday.
