Workday Adapter CapabilitiesThe Workday Adapter enables you to create an integration with Workday in OracleAutonomous Integration Cloud.

Workday is a SAAS-based human capital management system that also supportsfinancial management systems for organizations.

Workday can be the one system for all your organizational activities such as recruiting,payroll, finance, inventory, and so on. The Workday Public API, Reporting API, andWorkday Integration platform play the major roles in integrating the Workday Adapterwith third-party applications. The Workday Adapter supports all these services at asingle gateway. The Workday Adapter handles complexities such as understandingdifferent SOAP web services, presenting all modules, services, and operations, andexecuting reports about different Workday modules.

The Workday Adapter enables nontechnical developers to build integration solutionsfrom Workday to other applications without dealing with complexities such as differentAPIs.

The Workday Adapter provides the following capabilities:

• Connecting your on-premises financial system with Workday Human CapitalManagement (HCM) cloud.

• Browsing different Workday modules with little effort.

• Getting the right operation with a detailed description in the user interface to assistyou in building integrations rapidly.

• Checking the reports accessible to you and selecting them and exporting the datafrom Workday.

1-1

• Getting the data from an existing Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) integration toyour financial system.

• Exporting the bulk data from Workday through the Workday Adapter is easy andenables you to synchronize the same data with different SaaS and on-premisesapplications within the same business flow.

• Provisioning from Workday to other resources of your organization.

• Supporting the latest API version to ensure that you always use the latestWorkday functionality.

The Workday Adapter is one of many predefined adapters included with OracleAutonomous Integration Cloud. You can configure the Workday Adapter as a targetconnection in an integration in Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud. For informationabout Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud, connections, and integrations, see thefollowing sections:

• About Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud

• About Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud Connections

• About Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud Integrations

What Application Version Is Supported?For information about which application version is supported by this adapter, see theOracle Integration Adapters Certification Matrix under section Oracle IntegrationAdapters Certification at the top of the page:

Oracle Integration Adapters Certification Matrix

About Oracle Autonomous Integration CloudOracle Autonomous Integration Cloud is a complete, secure, but lightweight integrationsolution that enables you to connect your applications in the cloud. It simplifiesconnectivity between your applications and connects both your applications that live inthe cloud and your applications that still live on premises. Oracle AutonomousIntegration Cloud provides secure, enterprise-grade connectivity regardless of theapplications you are connecting or where they reside.

Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud provides native connectivity to Oracle Softwareas a Service (SaaS) applications, such as Oracle Sales Cloud, Oracle RightNowCloud, and so on. Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud adapters simplify connectivityby handling the underlying complexities of connecting to applications using industry-wide best practices. You only need to create a connection that provides minimalconnectivity information for each system. Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloudlookups map the different codes or terms used by the applications you are integratingto describe similar items (such as country or gender codes). Finally, the visual datamapper enables you to quickly create direct mappings between the trigger and invokedata structures. From the mapper, you can also access lookup tables and usestandard XPath functions to map data between your applications.

Once you integrate your applications and activate the integrations to the runtimeenvironment, the dashboard displays information about the running integrations so youcan monitor the status and processing statistics for each integration. The dashboardmeasures and tracks the performance of your transactions by capturing and reportingkey information, such as throughput, the number of messages processed successfully,

Chapter 1What Application Version Is Supported?

1-2

and the number of messages that failed processing. You can also manage businessidentifiers that track fields in messages and manage errors by integrations,connections, or specific integration instances.

About Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud ConnectionsConnections define information about the instances of each configuration you areintegrating. Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud includes a set of predefinedadapters, which are the types of applications on which you can base your connections,such as Oracle Sales Cloud, Oracle Eloqua Cloud, Oracle RightNow Cloud, andothers. A connection is based on an adapter. For example, to create a connection to aspecific RightNow Cloud application instance, you must select the Oracle RightNowadapter and then specify the WSDL URL, security policy, and security credentials toconnect to it.

Note:

When provisioning Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud, you allocateconnections to an instance. Once allocated, you can add more, but cannotreduce the number of connections allocated to an instance. This is shown onthe My Services dashboard. Within an instance, it shows you how manyconnections are being used, but not the number of connections allocated.

Video

About Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud IntegrationsIntegrations are the main ingredient of Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud. Anintegration includes at the least a trigger (source) connection (for requests sent toOracle Autonomous Integration Cloud) and invoke (target) connection (for requestssent from Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud to the target) and the field mappingbetween those two connections.

When you create your integrations, you build on the connections you already createdby defining how to process the data for the trigger (source) and invoke (target)connections. This can include defining the type of operations to perform on the data,the business objects and fields against which to perform those operations, requiredschemas, and so on. To make this easier, the most complex configuration tasks arehandled by Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud. Once your trigger (source) andinvoke (target) connections are configured, the mappers between the two are enabledso you can define how the information is transferred between the trigger (source) andinvoke (target) data structures for both the request and response messages.
