This integration is based on the Reporting as a Service (RaaS) offered by Workday and will use the out-of-the-box generic REST collectors to collect data. Workday RaaS allows greater flexibility in controlling what data needs to be collected from third party tools like RSA G&L without exposing sensitive data.

  1. Login to RSA G&L console as System Administrator.
  2. Navigate to Resources > Application.
  3. Click on Create Application and select Other Application.

Workday : Setup​

Workday recommends using an Integration System User (ISU) for integration using third party services. RaaS requires basic authentication for REST API invocation.

Refer to Workato connectors - Workday integration connection | Workato Docs for more information on setup.

Troubleshooting​

Problem: The REST API call returns 400 : Validation error occurred. Report not

Solution: Ensure that the ISU user that is used to collect is the owner of the Report in RaaS.
