WorkDay Tutorial-EIB Limitations

INBOUND FILE SIZE AND DOCUMENT ATTACHMENT LIMITS

When you attach a spreadsheet at integration launch time, the size of the document attachment is limited to 30 megabytes (MB). When you upload an EIB spreadsheet from a file server, like sFTP, the spreadsheet size cannot exceed 300 MB. If you attempt to upload a spreadsheet file that exceeds the 300 MB limit, Workday returns an error and does not load the data.


EIBS: OUTBOUND DOCUMENT RETENTION

When you create an outbound EIB, you have the option to specify a Document Retention Policy (in Days). You may specify a value of up to 180 days.



EIBS: RUNTIME BOUNDARIES ON EIBS WITH CUSTOM XSLT TRANSFORMATIONS

When you transform very large amounts of data, outbound EIBs with custom XSLT transformations consume as much as 10 times the amount of memory that the source data requires. Workday recommends that the amount of data transformed not exceed 100 MB. Although EIBs that transform more than 400 MB of data has a high risk of malfunctioning, Workday still attempts to complete all EIBs. The maximum amount of memory that is allocated to an EIB transformation is 15 gigabytes (GB). An EIB's custom XSLT transformation can process for up to 2 hours. Custom XSLT transformations that spend more than 2 hours of processing are terminated automatically.

 

INTEGRATIONS: SCHEDULED INTEGRATION LAUNCH AND COMPLETION TIMES

Workday provides a best-effort attempt to launch integration at the scheduled initiation time and processes it as quickly as resources are available. However, Workday does not guarantee when integration will be launched and when the integration will complete because these factors are highly dependent on the current load on Workday and the work that needs to be done. You should not design or implement any integration system or external system that relies on an integration running and/or completing successfully at a specific time.

 

INTEGRATIONS: HTTP REQUEST PROCESSING TIME LIMITS

To ensure resource availability for all customers, Workday terminates HTTP requests including Workday Web Services and Reports-as-a-Service (RaaS), that exceeds 6 hours. The following integrations make HTTP requests:

 ·       EIBs

 ·       Studio Integrations

 ·       Cloud Connect integrations

 

WORKDAY REPORTS-AS-A-SERVICE (RAAS)

When you enable web services for an Advanced custom report and expose the report for integration scenarios, the maximum size of the response that can be returned is 2 GB.
