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.
