Workday policy

A Workday policy contains the connection details that are used by a Workday Request node when you connect to the Workday application.

Use a Workday Request node to connect to Workday and issue requests to work with objects such as Absence Management, Cash Management, Financial Management, Human Resources, Integrations, Learning, Payroll Interface, Performance Management, Recruiting, Resource Management, Student Records, Talent, and Time Tracking. The Workday policy controls, at run time, access to the Workday application.

The Workday policy is created when you configure a connection between a Workday Request node and Workday by using the Connector Discovery wizard. During the process of discovery, account credentials are stored in the vault and connection details are stored in a Workday policy. The policy is created with a type of Workday, and the name of the policy is returned to the node and specified in the Connection tab, in the format {policyProjectName}:policyName.

You can also create, update, or delete a Workday policy by using the Manage Discovery Connector Policies and Credentials wizard, which you can access by right-clicking the policy project in the IBM® App Connect Enterprise Toolkit and then clicking New > Discovery Connector policies and credentials.

You must deploy this policy before message flows that use the policy are started. If you redeploy a Workday policy, all message flows that are using the policy will be stopped and restarted.
