WorkDay Tutorial-Configure & launch an integration system

To edit the Enterprise Interface, use the related actions menu to configure or launch the configuration wizard.


Launch Integration System: Navigation to the Launch task is through the Integration System-related action and choosing Integration > Launch /Schedule.


                                         

Once you launch the integration, you must create or select the integration attachment and decide whether to execute the integration live or in validation mode. You can choose to automatically generate a log file when it is run (however it can be generated later). To improve the availability of integration resources, Workday now limits the maximum size of inbound EIB spreadsheets to 300 megabytes (MB). However, there is a 30 MB limit for all attachments in Workday, so you will need to use SFTP for inbound EIBs if loading large amounts of data in a spreadsheet.

Add Errors to Attachment:

If you want Workday to write errors back to the spreadsheet for troubleshooting purposes, select this check box to create an attachment in the Integration Events report.

In the Value Type field, indicate how the parameter value is set:

       ·       Select Specify Value to specify the value manually. This option is the default.

       ·       Select Determine Value at Runtime to have Workday calculates the value each time the integration runs. Typically, only date fields are determined at run time since they are the only fields that vary over time in recurring integrations.

·       Select Use System Default to use the value that is configured in the Enterprise Interface definition.


 

Validate the Only Load:

If you want to validate your input data without performing an actual upload, select this check box to create a trial run so that you can correct any data errors.

Load Error Limit

Specify an error limit for the upload process. You can select a value from 1 to 1000 or specify Unlimited. The process stops when it reaches the error limit. If you set the Value Type to Use System Default, the default error limit is 25.

View Background Process Event: Once you launch the Enterprise Interface you will be transferred directly to the View Background Process page. When the Integration is 100% complete, you can view the details of your process as well as view the attachment.


The Process Monitor report can also be used to examine the details of the background process/integration event.


Another useful report to view integration system results is Integration Events. Simply search for 'int event' in the Workday search feature and enter the 'optional' parameters to run the report. The results will display your completed integrations.
