You are creating a connector based integration where all fields are provided by the template. However, the vendor would also like the following configurations as well:
* A file name output to have the current date and integration run number
* Have internal values for a particular field transferred to their external values
What workflow would you follow to create this integration?
To create a connector-based integration with additional custom configurations such as dynamic file naming and internal-to-external value mapping, the following steps must be followed:
Enable Needed Integration Services:
This step involves activating the required integration services to ensure that the necessary API calls, security, and processing capabilities are available within Workday.
Configure Integration Field Attributes:
Integration Field Attributes allow customization of fields within the integration, enabling changes to formats, mappings, and transformations, such as including a dynamically generated file name with the current date and integration run number.
Configure Integration Maps:
Integration Maps are used to transform internal values into external values as per the vendor's requirements. This ensures that data fields in Workday align correctly with external system specifications.
Configure Sequence Generator:
The Sequence Generator is used to append unique identifiers to output files, ensuring each integration run produces a uniquely named file (e.g., including the current date and run number).
This workflow ensures that the integration is set up efficiently while meeting the vendor's additional configuration needs.
