Workday Prism Analytics Bulk Load

On this Page

Overview

Use the Workday Prism Analytics Bulk Load Snap to upload multiple records/files from many cloud or on-premise sources (such as ERP, CRM, and other databases) to derive analytical reports on the input data. SnapLogic integrates Workday Prism Analytics's Utilize Data Load API, enabling you to use the Workday Prism Analytics Bulk Load Snap in conjunction with other standard-mode Snaps. This Snap comes with OAuth 2.0 authentication to secure your data. 

This Snap accepts documents from the input view, creates a batch CSV file, and also compresses and uploads the same to an existing or new dataset or table. 

Modes

Expected Input and Output

  • Input: 
    • First input: A document with data that can comprise numbers, text, Boolean, and date/time stamps.
    • Second input: A schema definition. Ensure that you pass name and type data types in the schema definition.
  • Output: A document that states the number of records processed and can contain the ID, name, bucket size, state, and processed files.

The following are a few SnapLogic Snap Packs that can work with the Workday Prism Analytics Bulk Load Snap:

  • Binary 
  • Transform 
  • REST
  • Microsoft Dynamics AX/CRM 
  • MS Dynamics 365 for Sales
  • Salesforce

Parameter NameData TypeDescriptionDefault ValueExample Value
LabelStringEnter a name for the Snap. This needs to be unique within the Pipeline.Workday Prism Analytics Bulk LoadBulk Load Updated Data
Dataset/Table NameString

The name of the dataset or table to which you want to upload the input documents. The dataset or table name must match with the dataset name in Workday Prism Analytics. This field can accept up to 255 alphanumeric and underscore characters. The string must start with a letter and cannot end with an underscore.

  • Ensure that the user has at least Write permission for the target endpoint in Workday Prism Analytics.
  • The table or dataset names used must be unique.
  • While creating a table, you must offer the table’s schema as an input to the Snap.

Operation TypeObject

Specify whether you want to add or replace data in the existing dataset/table. Available options are:

  • Append: Adds data to the existing dataset/table.

    The schema of the incoming data must match the schema of the existing data in the dataset/table. Schema validation fails in case of a mismatch in column IDcolumn name, and column type; but does not fail if the metadata fields, such as defaultValueand description, do not match the target dataset schema. The Snap replaces mismatched metadata fields.

  • Replace: Replaces the data in the existing endpoint with the input data. 
AppendNA
Bucket Completion TimeoutInteger

A Workday bucket is a folder that contains all the files that you want to upload to Workday at a time. Once the Snap is able to connect to your Workday Prism Analytics account, it creates a bucket using the data that you provide to the Snap.


The maximum number of minutes for which you want the Snap to wait for the bucket to complete the bulk upload. We recommend that you update this value depending on the size of the data that you want to upload. If the bulk load is not completed within the completion timeout period, the operation times out.

Default value: 30

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 9999999999999990

3010
Connection TimeoutInteger

The number of seconds after which the Snap must abort while executing. 

Minimum value: 0

Maximum value: 999999999

30 30
Maximum Retry AttemptsInteger

The maximum number of retry attempts that this Snap must make to connect with Workday Prism Analytics, after which the Pipeline will abort. 

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 9999999999999990

55
Retry Request IntervalInteger

The number of seconds for which the Snap must wait between two retry requests.

Minimum value: 0

Maximum value: 9999999999999990

Snap execution Check box

Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are:

  • Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.
  • Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.
  • Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

DeselectedN/A

Temporary Files

During execution, data processing on Snaplex nodes occurs principally in-memory as streaming and is unencrypted. When larger datasets are processed that exceeds the available compute memory, the Snap writes Pipeline data to local storage as unencrypted to optimize the performance. These temporary files are deleted when the Snap/Pipeline execution completes. You can configure the temporary data's location in the Global properties table of the Snaplex's node properties, which can also help avoid Pipeline errors due to the unavailability of space. For more information, see Temporary Folder in Configuration Options

Example

This use case demonstrates a Pipeline that derives how many opportunities in Microsoft Dynamics CRM converted into revenue in the preceding 3, 6, and 12 months. This data is derived by integrating Dynamics CRM/AX with Workday Prism Analytics using a host of SnapLogic Snaps. You can download the following pipeline and configure the respective accounts and data files to explore this use case.
