Use CData Sync for automated, continuous, customizable Workday replication to Vertica.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Workday data into your Vertica instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.
Configure Vertica as a Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate Workday data to Vertica. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select Vertica as a destination.
- Enter the necessary connection properties:
- Server: The host name or IP address of the Vertica database.
- Database: The name of the database hosted on the Vertica Server.
- User: The username of the authenticating Vertica database user.
- Password: The password of the authenticating Vertica database user.
- Port: The port for Vertica (5443 by default). This property is optional.
- Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure the Workday Connection
You can configure a connection to Workday from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your Workday account, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (Workday).
- Configure the connection properties.
To connect, there are three pieces of information required: Authentication, API URL, and WSDL URL.
Authentication
To authenticate, specify your User and Password. Note that you must append your Tenant to your User separated by an '@' character. For instance, if you normally log in with 'geraldg' and your Tenant is 'mycompany_mc1', then your User should be specified as 'geraldg@mycompany_mc1'.
API URL
The API URL may be specified either directly via APIURL, or it may be constructed from the Tenant, Service, and Host. The APIURL is constructed in the following format: <Host>/ccx/service/<Tenant>/<Service>.
WSDL URL
The WSDLURL may be specified in its entirety, or may be constructed from the Service and WSDLVersion connection properties. The WSDLURL is constructed in the following format: https://community.workday.com/sites/default/files/file-hosting/productionapi/<Service>/<WSDLVersion>/<Service>.wsdl
- Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure Replication Queries
CData Sync enables you to control replication with a point-and-click interface and with SQL queries. For each replication you wish to configure, navigate to the Jobs tab and click Add Job. Select the Source and Destination for your replication.
Replicate Entire Tables
To replicate an entire table, click Add Tables in the Tables section, choose the table(s) you wish to replicate, and click Add Selected Tables.
Customize Your Replication
You can use the Columns and Query tabs of a task to customize your replication. The Columns tab allows you to specify which columns to replicate, rename the columns at the destination, and even perform operations on the source data before replicating. The Query tab allows you to add filters, grouping, and sorting to the replication.Schedule Your Replication
In the Schedule section, you can schedule a job to run automatically, configuring the job to run after specified intervals ranging from once every 10 minutes to once every month.
Once you have configured the replication job, click Save Changes. You can configure any number of jobs to manage the replication of your Workday data to Vertica.
