What task is needed to build a sequence generator for an EIB integration?

In Workday, a sequence generator is created using the Create ID Definition task. This task allows you to define various types of identifiers, one of which is a "Sequence Generator." When configuring an EIB, this defined sequence can then be used in a calculated field to generate unique, sequential numbers for records in the output file. This is a common requirement for assigning unique IDs to records being sent to a third-party system.

A. Put Sequence Generator Rule Configuration: This is the name of a Workday Web Services (WWS) operation, not a user interface task used for creating a sequence generator from within the tenant.

C. Edit Tenant Setup - Integrations: This task is for configuring global, tenant-wide settings for integrations, such as security policies or notification defaults, not for creating specific integration components like a sequence generator.

D. Configure Integration Sequence Generator Service: This task does not exist in Workday. The creation and configuration of a sequence generator are handled by the Create ID Definition task.

1. Workday Documentation: Workday Pro Integrations Courseware. The manual for this course explicitly details the steps for creating integration components. In the section on Calculated Fields and EIBs

it specifies using the Create ID Definition task to set up a new sequence generator. It outlines selecting "Sequence Generator" as the ID Type and configuring its parameters (e.g.

starting number

increment value

and padding).

2. Workday Documentation: Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) Guide. This guide explains how to build EIBs and use various components. In the chapter on "Advanced EIB Features

" it references the use of sequence generators within calculated fields and directs users to the Create ID Definition task for their initial setup. The guide clarifies this task is the central point for managing all system IDs

including sequences.
