You can use

Mass Ingestion Applications

to ingest the data of Workday Human Capital Management (HCM). On the

Source

tab of the

application ingestion

task wizard, you can select the specific HCM services that you want to replicate to your target.

Mass Ingestion Applications

replicates the data of only the source operations whose name start with

Get_

.

Application ingestion jobs retrieve the source data in an XML structure and then writes the data to the target as a single object in JSON or XML format. When you configure an application ingestion job, on the

Source

tab of the task wizard, you can specify the format of the target data. On the target, each record contains the following fields:

WID: Stores the unique identifier or primary key of the record.
Data: Stores the content of the record in JSON or XML format.

Mass Ingestion Applications

retains the hierarchical structure of source data on the target.

Mass Ingestion Applications

does not propagate the data stored in custom objects.

When an

application ingestion

job ingests an operation under a Workday service to a target, the operation is renamed in the following format: <Service_Name>__<Operation_Name>

The first time an incremental load job runs to capture change data for a Workday source, the job retrieves and loads only the change records that are created after the date and time specified in the

application ingestion

task. You can specify the date and time when you configure the source in the

application ingestion

task wizard. However, when you resume a stopped or aborted job, the job begins propagating change data from where it last left off.

Incremental load jobs can capture only the insert and update operations performed on the source and perform upsert operations on the target to replicate the changes in source data. The

application ingestion

task wizard does not provide the schema drift options for Workday sources because the upsert operations automatically replicate all changes made to the source schema.

The following table lists the Workday services and the associated operations for which

Mass Ingestion Applications

can capture change data:
