Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below. You have configured a Core Connector: Worker integration, which utilizes the following basic configuration: • Integration field attributes are configured to output the Position Title and Business Title fields from the Position Data section. • Integration Population Eligibility uses the field Is Manager which returns true if the worker holds a manager role. • Transaction Log service has been configured to Subscribe to specific Transaction Types: Position Edit Event. You launch your integration with the following date launch parameters (Date format of MM/DD/YYYY): • As of Entry Moment: 05/25/2024 12:00:00 AM • Effective Date: 05/25/2024 • Last Successful As of Entry Moment: 05/23/2024 12:00:00 AM • Last Successful Effective Date: 05/23/2024 To test your integration, you made a change to a worker named Jared Ellis who is assigned to the manager role for the IT Help Desk department. You perform an Edit Position on Jared and update their business title to a new value. Jared Ellis' worker history shows the Edit Position Event as being successfully completed with an effective date of 05/27/2024 and an Entry Moment of 05/24/2024 07:58:53 AM however Jared Ellis does not show up in your output. What configuration element would have to be modified for the integration to include Jared Ellis in the output?

Answer options

A: Integration Population Eligibility

B: Date launch parameters Correct answer

C: Integration Field Attributes

D: Transaction log subscription

Correct Answer:

B. Date launch parameters

Explanation

The integration fails to include Jared Ellis because the change made to his position is future-dated relative to the integration's launch parameters. The integration runs with an Effective Date of 05/25/2024, which means it evaluates worker data as it exists on that specific date. However, the Edit Position event for Jared Ellis has an effective date of 05/27/2024. Although the transaction's entry moment (05/24/2024) is correctly captured by the transaction log, the actual data change is not yet in effect as of the integration's run date. To include this change, the Effective Date launch parameter must be set to 05/27/2024 or later.

Why Incorrect

A. Integration Population Eligibility: The scenario states Jared Ellis is a manager, satisfying the Is Manager eligibility rule, so this configuration is correct.
C. Integration Field Attributes: The integration is configured to output the Business Title, which is the specific field that was updated in the Edit Position event.
D. Transaction log subscription: The integration is correctly subscribed to the Position Edit Event, which is the business process that was initiated for the worker.

1. Workday Pro Integrations Courseware

"Core Connectors: Change Detection" Module. This official training material explains that change detection integrations use a combination of launch parameters to create a processing window. The As of Entry Moment parameters identify which transactions occurred

while the Effective Date parameter determines the point-in-time data snapshot for the output. A transaction will be detected but the change will not appear in the output if its effective date is after the integration's effective date.

2. Workday Documentation

"Core Connectors and Document Transformation" Guide

Section: Integration Launch Parameters. This guide details the function of each launch parameter. It specifies that the Effective Date parameter is used to retrieve data as of a specific date. For future-dated events

the Effective Date of the integration run must be on or after the event's effective date to reflect the updated data.

3. Workday Documentation

"Workday Integrations" Guide

Section: Understanding Effective Dating. This section clarifies the concept of effective dating in Workday. It states

"When you run an integration

Workday uses the effective date you specify to determine which data to include... It only includes transactions that are effective on or before that date." This directly supports why Jared Ellis's future-dated change was not included in the output.
