Preface

The goal of this guide is to add a new SkyFormation for Workday connector to your SkyFormation Platform.

Prerequisites

To add the Workday connector to your SkyFormation app, you will need to have the following Workday account's information at hand:

For the Web Services data sources

This connector uses Workday Web Services

• Username - A service account username - it is best-practice to create a dedicated Integration System User (ISU).
  Create ISU
  Workday's ISU guide
• Password - Password for the integration user
• WSDL Base URL - Base URL for the Web-Services for your tenant. e.g. "https://services2.myworkday.com/ccx/service" Obtain WSDL Base URL
• Tenant name - Your tenant's name. e.g. "ourcompany"
  Tenant name is found in the URL when you are logged into Workday. E.g., if the URL of your Workday tenant is https://impl.workday.com/ourcompany/d/home.html then the tenant name is "ourcompany"

Create ISU

1. Navigate to the "Create Integration System User" task and configure a Workday user account for the integration.
2. Set "Session Timeout Minutes" to 0
3. Check the "Do Not Allow UI Sessions" box, to disable interactive (UI) sessions for this user
4. Optional: To avoid integration errors caused by expired passwords, prevent this integration user password from expiring. Navigate to the "Maintain Password Rules" task and add the ISU to the System Users exempt from password expiration field.

Obtain WSDL Base URL

Follow Workday's guide to obtain the WSDL URL for a service, i.e. Identity_Management.
Truncate the result so only to have the part until the service.
e.g. "https://services2.myworkday.com/ccx/service"

Required permissions

Assign the policy

Steps to onboard the connector to SkyFormation app

1. Logon to your SkyFormation Platform:

2. Navigate via left navigation panel to "Settings" section

3. Navigate via New Settings left navigation panel to "Accounts" section

4. Click the "Add Account" button

5. At the "SELECT SERVICE TO ADD" choose "Workday".
