This page explains how to set up the Workday side of the Workday EIB datasource integration: creating the custom report that holds the data to be synced, and configuring an Outbound Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) to deliver that report to the shared TechWolf S3 bucket. The exact fields, columns, file name, file path and schedule to use are defined in the integration documentation provided by your TechWolf delivery team, and must match the EIB Specification.
Several of the linked Workday guides require a Workday Community account. If a link is not publicly accessible, sign in with your Workday Community credentials.

​
Step 1: Create a Custom Report in Workday

In this step you create the custom report that contains the data to be exported, following the integration documentation provided by your TechWolf delivery team.
1

Create the report

In Workday, create a new custom report and give it a name.
2

Enable it as a web service

Select Advanced Report and enable it as a web service.
3

Select the fields

Select the appropriate fields and columns for the report, as defined in the integration documentation from your TechWolf delivery team.
For more detailed guidance, refer to the Workday documentation on setting up custom reports (requires a Workday Community account).

​
Step 2: Create an Outbound EIB

In this step you set up the outbound integration that delivers the custom report to the shared TechWolf S3 bucket using a Workday Outbound EIB.
1

Reference the custom report

Create an Outbound EIB that references the custom report created in Step 1.
2

Configure the output format

Configure the EIB to generate output in CSV format.
3

Set the delivery method

Set the delivery method to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3).
4

Select the bucket

Select your designated bucket (techwolf-<customer>), as specified in the received integration documentation.
5

Configure the file name and path

In Workday, the full file name is the combination of the file path and the file name. Set both to match the exact path and naming convention specified in the integration document provided by your TechWolf delivery team — do not derive them from this page.Where that path or name includes a date, use a Workday sequence generator (requires a Workday Community account) to insert it, following the format given in that same provided integration document.
6

Set the schedule

Set up the integration schedule according to the cadence defined in the integration documentation. By default, the cadence is daily.
Connection testing will fail — this is expected.When testing the connection from Workday to the S3 bucket using the Connect function, the test will fail. The credentials provided grant access only to a specific file path, not to the entire bucket, whereas Workday’s connection test attempts to access the full bucket.To verify the setup, test file delivery directly instead of using the connection test. A successful file delivery confirms that the integration is configured correctly.
