--> How do you create outbound EIB.? What steps to create EIB?

ANS- Go to Create EIB task  It will ask for get Data where you need to attach the custom report
which has already been created  Then attach XSLT if you want to perform any specific
transformation  then add the delivery step.

--> How to configure integration notifications? based on what we configure notifications?

Go to the related action of the Integration then select Configure Integration Notifications there you
have the option of configuring the notification like the trigger on launch or trigger on Status.

-->What is the use case of the Evaluate expression Calc field?

Suppose we want to distinguish workers based on their salary brackets so for this we can
define 3 conditions.
(i) Workers with salary > 50000
(ii) Workers with Salary < 20000
(iii) Workers with Salary in b/w 50000-20000

And in return value, we will define the text constants fields like if worker salary > 50000 give
output as High Pay Worker
--> What is the difference between the sync mediation and async mediation component in the
studio?

Async mediation is asynchronous i.e., the flow will be in the forward direction only whereas in sync
mediation the flow can be synchronous.

For example – let’s say we are calling one WS and we want to log the response of that WS then after
the Workday Out Soap Component we again must put one more Async mediation and then we have
to log the response whereas in sync mediation we can directly log the response in same sync
mediation from which we are calling the request.

--> Can we configure the Multiple deliveries in Outbound EIB?

No, we can’t configure multiple deliveries in outbound EIB.

-->What is cloud log.? why do we use it.?

Ans: Both cloud log and error log are used to log the error messages however the basic difference is
that cloud log creates a separate file for error messages. Furthermore, using Cloud Log we can
generate various other files as well like info, debug it makes it easier for the customer to download
and check the error message.

--> How many types of reports have you worked on? and have you worked on dashboards? `

I didn’t get the chance to create a dashboard, but I created multiple reports configured them in
dashboards, and provided security ISU.

To enable the report to be available on the dashboard you need to select the enable as worklet
option then you must provide the dashboard name there.
Maintaining dashboards - is the task to search dashboards that are present in the tenant.

When I ran the int using earliest open pay period it pulls the pay period which is in progress

When we select pay period for current date then it selects the pay period based on today’s date
not based on the pay period which is in progress {no relation to LSRD}

-->what is the primary run checkbox in PECI?

When we run the integration in primary mode at first it sends the full file to the customer so that
all fields get stored in their system and after that, it only sends a change record.
Primary Run
When we run the integration in primary mode then Last Extract Created works as the LSRD. As LEC
tracks the last time the integration system successfully completed a primary run for a paygroup.

At first, we must manually edit the LEC values by going into the Maintain Payroll Integration System
and after that, it automatically changes the pay period status to completed in progress, etc. as per
the pay frequency we set.

-->what is the diagnosis audit and data changes report in PECI?

Diagnosis audit and data change record files are generated in the output section of the integration
event whenever we launch the PECI.

Data changes audit gives all details of the worker like what changed and what hasn’t changed. It
highlights the field that is changed and shows the prior value and the current value. Fields that are
not changed don’t highlight that.

Diagnosis audit shows only whether there is a change record or not and whether the worker is
included in the extract or not.

-->In which tab we can find the audit report and data changes in the integration event?

The audit report can be seen in the related action of integration.

--> How do you give security to someone who doesn’t have access to report fields?

There is a payroll report and suppose an employee from absence is trying to run the report he might
not be able to see the values of some fields to provide access to only those fields we will assign
domains to the security group where this user is assigned.

--> How do u assign ISU to integration system?

Go to Edit workday account then search for your ISU and add ISU there.

-->What are the types of connectors you worked on?

CCB and CCW,


Filter criteria is Worker

--> What other modules have you worked on?

For the first 2-3 months I worked on HCM but after that, I started working on integration and studio.
But yeah, I’m aware of basic HCM as well.

--> What are the major issues you faced while migrating?

Sometimes while migrating complex custom reports which include various complex Cal fields I get an
error or I face issues in migrating it in one go. So instead of migrating the report I first migrate the cal
fields then I try to migrate the report.

Another error that used to come is of reference ids like the ref id in the prod doesn’t match with the
reference id of the source tenant so for that we have to match the reference ids.

Bp Conditions And Validation == if u put the condition on the bp step then it is the bp condition and
if u put the condition on the initiation step then its called validation.

-->what is a sequence generator?

When the Sequence Generator is enabled in integration, it ensures that each output file is assigned a
unique name or identifier, typically based on a date stamp or a sequential number. This unique
identifier helps in organizing and distinguishing the files generated by the integration over time.

For example, if an integration generates an output file daily without the Sequence Generator, all the
files would have the same name. This could make it difficult to find a specific file from a particular
day. However, by enabling the Sequence Generator, each output file will have a distinct identifier that
includes the date stamp or a sequential number. This makes it straightforward to locate the desired
file by referring to the identifier associated with the specific date or sequence.

-->What are the types of reports you worked on?

Advanced Report – It can be used to display data from primary and RBO. We can use them to display
charts and can be enabled as Web Service and Worklets.

Matrix Reports – It is used to analyze the data in a graphical manner. It also provides the option to
see the data as using drillable fields which contains the hyperlink and can be open.

Composite Report – It is used to combine the data from multiple data sources into a single report by
using advanced or matrix sub-reports.

EMI – Now if we want to extract the current benefit election and future benefit election then we can
put up a condition which will bring the current election as well as future election.
LRV

In the lookup-related value select ESI and in the Return, Value select coverage begin date.

Difference b/w Simple and Advanced Reports

Based on what we select different transformation options in the EIB
