Workday Cancel

In this article

Overview

You can use Workday Cancel Snap to cancel the objects in Workday, based on the field values in the input document that match the Workday object schema field names. These field names are defined by the Workday Web Service Definition Language (WSDL). The fields that match the object to be canceled are provided on the input view of the Snap and can be mapped using an upstream Mapper Snap.

Learn more about Workday Web Services (WWS) Directory for information on the Workday objects.

Snap Type

Workday Cancel Snap is a Write-type Snap that cancels the Workday objects that have been created.

ETL Transformations & Data Flow

This Snap enables the following ETL operations/flows:

  1. Transform SnapLogic input document data to Workday SOAP XML request

  2. Loads the update data into Workday and provide the respective data which has being written, in the output view as JSON format

This Snap creates a SOAP request based upon the Workday Cancel object input schema and the input data passed into the snap. The Snap then submits the SOAP request to Workday and deletes the respective object in Workday and and converts the Workday SOAP XML response to JSON in the output view.

  1. The Snap collects the Workday service and object input for the Workday server to process with the expected upstream information.
    Field can be mapped using an upstream Mapper Snap which will allow the mapping of fields or values to the field that are available on the selected service object.

  2. The Snap transforms the input document data matching the Workday input schema to create and submit a SOAP request.

  3. On successful Workday server response, the Snap displays one output document for every record updated, hence any document processing Snap can be used down stream.

  4. The Snap converts the returned SOAP XML response into JSON for the output view.

  5. If there is an exception, the Snap writes an error to the output view.

Prerequisites

  • Workday Account, data to query, and Workday security access to the objects that you want to cancel. Contact your organization's Workday Security Administrator for appropriate access.

  • Workday recommends using an Integration System User (ISU) with APIs.

  • JSON Generator

A document that conforms to the input view schema of the Snap. The input view schema is provided to an upstream Mapper Snap based on the selected service object.

  • JSON Formatter

A document that represents the record structure of the retrieved Workday service object. Each record is represented as one document on the output view.

Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter while running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are:

  • Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current Pipeline execution when the Snap encounters an error.

  • Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the rest of the records.

  • Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.
