Integration System Fundamentals Flashcards
Allows a user or system and a server to communicate over the web?
Web Service
Allow you to insert and retrieve data, acting as a bridge between Workday and other systems?
Integration systems
insert data into Workday
Inbound integrations
retrieve data from Workday
Outbound integrations
Most common integration tool, used for simple inbound data loads and outbound extracts
Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB)
Integration systems that allow more configuration than EIBs, either vendor-specific (end-to-end) connectors or generic connectors.
Cloud Connect (Connectors)
Advanced transformation tool with basic error message functionality. Only used with connectors
Document Transformation
Java-based development environment for the most customizable integration systems
Workday Studio
perform tasks for an integration system
Integration services
Data values associated with the integration system that stay the same for each integration event
Attributes
Sends output files to an external system using different transport types
Document Delivery
Imports and processes files from an external system using different transport types
Document Retrieval
Connects Workday values to their equivalent in external systems
Maps
Names output files uniquely for each integration event
Sequence Generator
Includes only certain events and processes in an integration run
Transaction Log
An integration service available with Workday Studio and some connector templates that allows integrations to perform and scale better. It replaces public API calls with job framework processing and obtains data via report fields
Data Initialization Service (DIS)
set of functions and procedures that allow internet applications to interact with each other
API
main components of every Workday integration system
Data Source, Transformation, and transport instructions
The moment-date and time-that the integration considers current. The integration will not include changes that occur after that moment.
As Of Entry Moment
The end date of the date range the integration considers.
Effective Date
The last moment that the integration believes it successfully ran. While it defaults to the actual moment it last successfully ran, you can change it.
Last Successful As-Of Entry Moment
The beginning date of the date range the integration considers.
Last Successful Effective Date
For integration systems using custom reports as data sources, what do report prompts impact?
Launch Parameters
Which reports can you use to locate integration events?
Integration Events Report
Process Monitor Report
How do you configure integration notifications?
From the integration system’s Related Actions
What does the Integration Process Event business process definition enable you to do?
Use files produced by integration events earlier in the process
How do you configure delivery for connectors and outbound EIBs?
Use a step on a business process for connectors and the Deliver section for outbound EIBs
convert data from one system’s format so that another system can understand it
Transformations
includes report data and integration IDs
Workday XML
Does not contain integration IDs
Simple XML
produce fixed format and .csv files, but you configure the transformations using a Workday task instead of an XSLT file
Custom report transformations
How do you configure an outbound EIB’s filename?
In the guided editor’s Deliver section
What custom report type can you use as an integration data source?
Advanced
Accesses report data and web service tasks required by an integration system
integration system user (ISU)
collections of items that share the same security (e.g., tasks, delivered reports, report data sources, web service operations)
Domains
allow you to configure which security groups can access the items in a domain
Domain security policies
How do you locate the domain security policies that secure custom report data?
From the report’s Related Actions > Secured Items > Security Policies
What do Get and Put permissions secure?
integrations and web service operations
What do View and Modify permissions secure?
reports and tasks
