Workday ERP connector
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has insight into reporting out of Workday on Power BI. It doesn't look like a native connector exists, so is the best workaround to schedule Workday reports to C...
It's a SOAP API. The database is object-oriented, so it's unclear how I'd create the data model within PBI even if I was able to connect. Seems like I'd need to report out of Workday into a flat file and then load that into PBI. What do you think?
What I'd do is following.
Have some script/code that runs on schedule to grab data from SOAP API. Have db with stored proc or have some process push data to db. This ensures you store it in the format that's easy to handle with PowerBI.
Added benefit is that you can create Views and such for quick consumption by PowerBI.
Do note that you'll need gateway server set up for this.
