An external system needs a file containing data for recent compensation changes. They would like to receive a file routinely at 5 PM eastern standard time, excluding weekends. The file should show compensation changes since the last integration run. What is the recurrence type of the integration schedule?

The requirement is to run an integration at a specific time (5 PM EST) on a recurring basis, but only on business days (Monday through Friday). The "Recurs every weekday" schedule type is the specific Workday configuration designed for this exact scenario. It establishes a daily recurrence pattern that automatically excludes Saturdays and Sundays, aligning perfectly with the external system's needs. The time of day (5 PM) is set within this schedule's configuration.

A. Recurs every 12 hours: This option would execute the integration twice daily, including on weekends, which does not meet the specified requirements.
C. Dependent recurrence: This schedule type is triggered by the successful completion of another integration, not by a fixed time of day.
D. Recurs every 1 day(s): This option would run the integration every day of the week, including weekends, violating the "excluding weekends" constraint.

This guide details the various recurrence patterns available for scheduling integrations, explicitly describing the "Daily" frequency option which contains the "Every Weekday" setting to exclude weekends.

2. Workday Community Documentation: Workday Studio Assembly Projects. Section: "Deploy and Launch an Integration". This document outlines the post-deployment steps, including setting up a launch schedule. It confirms that time-based schedules can be configured with daily, weekly, and monthly patterns, including a specific option for weekdays only.
