Once the completion step finishes the “Complete step” final execution, it’s called a Business
Process Completion Step. As other actions depend on the completion step, it’s important to
major this step for Business Process Completion. But at the same time, it does not necessarily
depend on all the included steps to final their completion depending on this step.
Let’s take an example to understand this:
Similar to the organizations when they hire a new employee, it’s important to do the background
verification to onboard the resource. Though this is not part of the hiring business process but it’s
important for the onboarding process. It shows that the HR does not need to wait for all the
information to cross-check and verify before onboarding but there is certain information related to
educational qualification, other job authentications are important to get verified. The rest keeps
working in the latter stage of the verification process. Processes can be set and priorities as pre-
hire and post-hire based on their requirement.

 View and oversee past, running, and planned mixes
 Create and keep up email notices dependent on mixed occasions, for example, when
incorporations dispatch, total, or fall flat
 Configure incorporation security to control which clients can dispatch, assemble, and see
mixes and their information

Workday’s joining instruments are broadly demonstrated in an assortment of requesting

circumstances and offer a lower-cost, lower-hazard way to conveying required mixes in help of
your particular business needs.
106. What is a Complete Integration Platform-as-a-Service?
Answer: The Workday Integration Cloud gives an adaptable stage to effectively incorporating
with Workday. Workday gives several web administrations to flawlessly coordinating with
Workday, giving associations the decision to fabricate their own reconciliations utilizing
Workday’s open web administration APIs. Then again, Workday offers a suite of self-
administration joining devices, complete with pre-assembled combinations, which empower both
business clients and IT designers to fabricate, arrange, test, and convey custom mixes.

107. What is the Workday Integration Cloud?

Ans: Workday’s Integration Cloud Platform is a complete Integration Platform-as-a-Service

(iPaaS) for building, deploying, and managing integrations to and from Workday. It provides a

Page 14 of 17
proven, enterprise-class platform that consists of an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) embedded as
part of the Workday platform with associated tools directly within the Workday UI for managing
and monitoring integrations. The Workday Integration Cloud also provides pre-built and delivered
connections to non-Workday systems, as well as tools for developing custom integrations. All
integrations are deployed to and run on Workday without the need for any on-premise
middleware.

108. What is Integration Cloud Connect?

Ans: Integration Cloud Connect represents a portfolio of integrated products designed to

complement Workday core business applications by providing pre-built connections to third-party
applications and services. Each integration is deployed in the Workday Cloud, which, in turn,
gives you all the benefits of a fully hosted and managed application. Customers can enjoy
integration solutions that are versioned and stable, as well as kept up to date with the latest
infrastructure, tooling, application changes, and vendor changes (where applicable). Integration
Cloud Connect provides two types of packaged content: connectors and toolkits. In each case,
the content provided is managed, maintained, and supported by Workday.

Workday API using your own middleware technology; MuleSoft, Boomi, TIBCO, or Oracle
Fusion Middleware is just a few of the middleware tools used by Workday customers.

However, there are several major advantages to using the Workday Integration Cloud:

 Integrations surface naturally inside the Workday user interface.

 You can view the integrations,
 launch them,
 schedule them,
 secure them,
 include them in Workday business processes,
 configure notifications around them, and
 audit and log them— all from within the Workday user experience.
 Both packaged and custom integrations run on Workday software and hardware
infrastructure in our data centres. You do not need to license or use any on-premise
integration middleware platform, which can greatly simplify the deployment and
management of integrations especially when the majority of the integrations are
connecting to Workday
 Finally, Workday’s integration tools are also highly optimized for efficiently building
integrations to and from Workday. Purpose-built packaged components handle much of
the plumbing aspects of integration-building, freeing you to focus on the critical business
logic.

Overall, Workday’s packaged integrations and tools are widely proven in a variety of demanding
situations and offer a lower-cost, lower-risk path to delivering needed integrations in support of
your deployment.

109. Define the Workday Integration Cloud Platform?

Ans: Workday’s Integration Cloud Platform is a proven, enterprise-class Integration-Platform-as-

a-Service (iPaaS) for building, deploying, and managing integrations to and from Workday. All
integrations are deployed to and run in the Workday Cloud without the need for any on-
premise footprint or middleware. Workday also provides management and monitoring services
embedded in the Workday user interface.

110. Why Use Workday for Integration?

Page 15 of 17
Ans: Connectors are pre-built integrations that are designed, implemented, and supported by
Workday. They drastically reduce the implementation time required to complete an end-to-end
integration by providing the processing logic, data transformation, and error handling details
required to integrate third-party party systems such as Kronos, ADP, Ceridian, Salesforce,
CyberSource, Cornerstone, and others. All connectors are configurable to accommodate
differences in customer situations (such as customizations of your third-party system) and run in
the Workday Cloud, releasing you from the burden of having to maintain a separate integration
infrastructure.

111. How to simplify integration in the cloud?

Ans: Until now, the best option offered by traditional ERP vendors to support integration to their
solutions was a low-level API. With the emergence of Software-as a-Service (SaaS) as a delivery
model for enterprise solutions, innovative vendors such as Workday are providing new
approaches that simplify the creation, deployment, and maintenance of integrations. Just as
Workday simplifies the deployment, management, and upgrades associated with enterprise
applications through a SaaS-based delivery model, Workday also simplifies application
integration by moving the development, deployment, and management of integrations to the
Workday Integration Cloud.

112. When to Use Workday Studio?

Ans: Workday Studio provides a comprehensive set of capabilities for the identification,
development, and management of integration tasks. Enterprises that use Workday Studio
typically have one or more of the following requirements:

 Multiple data sources and/or delivery requirements

 Scalable and efficient processing of large data sets (up to tens of gigabytes)
 Complex looping or branching logic based on dynamic data or external variables •
Sophisticated change detection requirements
 Complex error handling scenarios and the corresponding need to react differently to error
conditions • Need for rigorous source code control, unit testing, debugging, logging, and
other formal development disciplines
 Need to extend with custom capabilities implemented in Java, Spring, or a third-party
service.

113. What Is a Cloud Connect Package?

Ans: Workday provides a collection of connectors for speeding integration implementation with
third-party systems. Each Cloud Connect package contains a collection of connectors for
orchestrating an end-to-end integration with the processing logic and error handling required on
the Workday side of the integration. In addition, connectors provide change detection, rule-based
data mapping, field validation, and formatting. These Cloud Connect packages include
connectors to known and unknown third-party systems or standards. For the cases where the
integrated third-party system is unknown, customers are responsible for completing the
integration by implementing the necessary logic (it may require formatting and possibly
transformations) to tie it to the third-party system they are looking to integrate with Workday.

114. What are Powerful Integration Tools?

Ans: Powerful integration tools simplify custom integrations for both business managers and IT.
Workday offers tooling for common and simple integration scenarios as well as the complex ones
that customers face today. These two offerings include Enterprise Interface Builder and Workday
Studio
