Workday Mass Ingestion connection properties

When you set up a Workday Mass Ingestion connection, you must configure the connection properties.

The properties of a Workday Mass Ingestion connection vary based on the authentication method that you specify for the connection. When you create a connection, you can select one of the following authentication methods:

Basic
: Authenticates the connection by validating the login credentials of the Workday account.

OAuth 2.0 Refresh Token Flow
: Authenticates the connection by using an application that is registered in Workday. To use this method, you must register an application in Workday and then specify the client ID and client secret of the application in the connection properties. For more information about registering an application in Workday, see the Workday documentation.

Connection properties for Basic authentication

The following table describes the connection properties for a Workday Mass Ingestion connection configured with Basic authentication:

Connection property	Description
Connection Name	A name for the connection. This name must be unique within the organization. Connection names can contain alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following special characters: _ . + - Spaces at the beginning or end of the name are trimmed and are not saved as part of the name. Maximum length is 100 characters. Connection names are not case sensitive.
Description	An optional description for the connection. Maximum length is 255 characters.
Type	The type of connection. For an Oracle Database Ingestion connection, the type must be Workday Mass Ingestion .
Runtime Environment	Name of the runtime environment where you want to run the ingestion tasks. You must specify a Secure Agent as the runtime environment. You cannot run application ingestion and replication tasks on a Hosted Agent or serverless runtime environment.
Domain Name	Name of the Workday domain that contains the resources that you want to access.
Tenant Name	Identifier of the Workday tenant that you want to access.
Version	Optional. Web Service Description Language (WSDL) version for the endpoints that the connection must use to retrieve Workday data. The list of operations supported for a web service depends on the WSDL version that you specify in this field. Informatica recommends that you use WSDL v37.0 because Workday Mass Ingestion connections might not read data from the services that are not part of WSDL v37.0. For more information on the WSDL versions, see the Workday Web Services (WWS) documentation.
User Name	User name of the Workday account.
Password	Password for the Workday account.

If you configure a connection with the Basic authentication method and then test the connection, the test is always successful even if the connection property values that you specified are incorrect. Therefore, ensure that you specify correct values for the connection properties before you save the connection.
