Why teams connect Cloudera Data Platform and Workday

Land the financial records from Workday in Cloudera Data Platform continuously, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Finance data belongs in the warehouse: revenue, invoices, payments, and customers joined with everything else the business measures. Getting it there usually means an extraction pipeline that breaks quietly and delivers yesterday's numbers.

Stacksync syncs Compensation, Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results, Suppliers from Workday into tables in Cloudera Data Platform in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Cloudera Data Platform can be written back to fields in Workday where you want them operational. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than code you maintain.

Common use cases

  • Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • Push completed payroll results into a finance system or data warehouse each pay cycle.
  • Consolidate tables from on-prem and cloud CDP environments into a single cloud warehouse target.
  • Sync curated CDP tables into an operational Postgres so applications query a low-latency copy instead of hitting the cluster.

Revenue joined with everything else

Analysts combine Workday's financial records with product, marketing, or operational data already in Cloudera Data Platform for reporting the finance system cannot do alone.

Write-back of computed fields

Scores or segments computed in Cloudera Data Platform, like payment-risk flags or customer tiers, sync back onto records in Workday where the finance team can act on them.

Queryable history for audit and reconciliation

A continuously synced copy in Cloudera Data Platform gives you a durable, queryable record of financial data for month-end and audit questions.

What you can sync between Cloudera Data Platform and Workday

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Cloudera Data Platform objects Workday objects
Partitions Table partitions (often by date) that incremental extraction jobs use to scope reads. Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs.
Object store / HDFS files Underlying Parquet or ORC files on HDFS or cloud storage backing the tables. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs.
Databases Logical namespaces in the shared Hive Metastore that group tables for access control and syncs. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems.
Hive tables Warehouse tables queried over JDBC/ODBC; classic managed tables are append-oriented. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools.
Impala tables The same metastore tables served through Impala for lower-latency SQL reads. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control.
Kudu tables Storage engine tables that support row-level inserts, updates, and deletes. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools.
