Rules and Guidelines for Workday Operations

• •When you configure a Source transformation in a mapping to fetch instant updates from Workday, you must pass the Date Time attributes in Pacific Time. For example, when you specify the update to and from fields, use the yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss format.
• •When you read data from Workday that contains the Date Time attributes and then write to a flat file, the Secure Agent writes the Date Time in Eastern Standard Time (EST).
• •To fetch a large number of records from Workday, you must perform the following steps:
• - Set the JVM options for type DTM to increase the -Xms and -Xmx values in the system configuration details of the Secure Agent, and then restart the Secure Agent.
• - Increase the cache size for the web service response in the advanced properties of the Workday source transformation to a size equal to or more than the memory required for a SOAP response.
• •When you use Workday Connector to read or write data, the Secure Agent maps binary data to string. To read documents or images from Workday, you must convert base64 string to binary and then load it to the target. To write images and documents to Workday, you must read the images and documents in binary format from the source, convert it to base64 string, and then load it to the Workday target. If the source contains the base64 string value representing the file, you can directly map the field to the Workday target.
• •When you configure a Workday connection, test connection validates only for the Human Resources module. When you specify a module other than Human Resources in the Workday connection, you can verify that the connection is valid only if the mapping task runs successfully.
