Configure the Workday Sync Module for WSDL

Complete this task to build a SOAP-based web service integration using WSDL to access Workday custom reports.

The

BlackBerry AtHoc

Workday Sync Module supports WSDL, but REST is preferred.

Obtain Report-as-a-Service (RaaS) access

Set up security for a WSDL integration

Open the

WorkdayIWS.config

file.

Get the value of the <isEncrypted> attribute to

false

Update the value of the <ReportServiceType> attribute to

WSDL

Update the following values in the

Web service endpoint and credential

section:

WDURL: Endpoint URL.

WDusername: Username

WDpassword: Password

<!--Web service endpoint and credential-->
<add key="WDURL" value="https://wd3-impl-services1.workday.com/ccx/service/customreport2/bb_preview/AthocAlert_ISU/Athoc_Alert_Test?wsdl" /> 
<add key="WDusername" value="workday-username" />
<add key="WDpassword" value="workday-password" />

If present in the WDURL, escape characters (&, <, >,",') must be rewritten as follows:

Replace

(ampersand) with

Replace

(less than) with

Replace

In the

CSV folder path

section, update the CsvFilePath value with the location where you want to store the .csv file.

<!--CSV folder path-->
<add key="CsvFilePath" value="C:\tmp\"

The value of the CsvFilePath in the

WorkdayIWS.config

file must match the value in the <readFolder> attribute in the

AtHocDataIntegration.config

file.

Set the value of the TriggerUserSyncTool key to "true" or "false."

If the value is set to "true" the Workday Sync Module imports data from Workday to a .csv file and then triggers the

BlackBerry AtHoc

User Sync Client to synchronize the data from the .csv file into

BlackBerry AtHoc

. If the value is set to "false" the Workday Sync Module imports the user data from Workday into a .csv file but does not trigger the

BlackBerry AtHoc

User Sync Client.

<!-- SET  TriggerUserSyncTool Value as "true" to trigger User Sync Tool -->
<!-- SET  TriggerUserSyncTool Value as "false" to disable automatic trigger and check if CSV is getting created -->
<add key="TriggerUserSyncTool" value="true" />

In the

Import only selected fields

section, enter the Workday fields whose data you want to import into a .csv file. Separate each field with a comma.

<!--Import only selected fields-->
<add key="SyncConfiguredFields" value="PublicEmailAddresses,FirstName,LastName" />

In the

CSV "Username" column mapping with workday field

section, enter the name of a column in the .csv file that you want to map to a Workday data field. In the following example, the "PublicEmailAddresses" data field in Workday is mapped to the "username" column in the .csv file:

<!--CSV "Username" column mapping with workday field -->
<add key="UsernameMapping" value="PublicEmailAddresses" />

The .csv file must have a "username" column in order for the

BlackBerry AtHoc

User Sync Client to synchronize Workday user data to

BlackBerry AtHoc

requires a minimum of 4 characters in the username. The data in the username column must have a minimum of 4 characters for the

BlackBerry AtHoc

User Sync Client to synchronize user data to

BlackBerry AtHoc

Optionally, in the

Specify date fields and format workday field

section, update the values of the "DateTypeFields" and "DateFormatSupported" keys to specify the date fields and date format for the .csv file.

<!--Specify date fields and format workday field -->
<add key="DateTypeFields" value="Last_Hire_Date,Term_Date" />
<add key="DateFormatSupported" value="dd-MM-yyyy" />

Save and close the file.
