There are two options as the data source for outbound EIBs: Reports as a Service or Workday Public Web Service. We will take a look at each.

WORKDAY REPORTS-AS-A-SERVICE (RAAS)

Workday enables you to expose advanced custom reports as web services that can be called in an integration.

When you enable a custom report as a web service, Workday generates a unique RaaS namespace for the report, using the following format: urn:com.workday.report/Report_Name where Report_Name is the name of the report.

The RaaS namespace remains fixed even if the report owner changes due to transfers of ownership or the report name changes. This prevents integrations that rely on the report's output from being unable to retrieve data if the report owner changes.

 You can edit the namespace for a custom report. However, you should consider the following:

        ·       Workday does not verify that a changed RaaS namespace is unique.

·       If you have any integrations that use the report, you will have to update them to use the new RaaS namespace.

Reports that are enabled as a web service must have labels defined for all columns, prompts and related business objects.

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.
