This question pertains to a Core Connector: Worker integration configured with Data Initialization Service (DIS) enabled and scheduled to run once daily. The integration is set to extract only those worker records where changes have occurred in compensation, home address, or business title since the last execution — leveraging Workday’s change detection to avoid full file extracts.
In testing, when a home address update occurs, the integration fails to capture this change in its output. However, all other components — such as worker eligibility, integration field attributes, and Full-Diff parameters — are confirmed to be correctly configured.
The critical element missing here is the event subscription. In Workday, for a Core Connector to recognize changes via Full-Diff or delta mode, it must be properly subscribed to the specific change events that should trigger inclusion in the output. This is done using the Edit Subscriptions configuration.
From the Workday Pro: Integrations documentation:
“The Edit Subscriptions task defines the set of data changes (e.g., job changes, address changes, compensation updates) that the integration system listens for. If an event type is not included in the subscription, changes related to that event will not be picked up in either delta or Full-Diff mode, regardless of other configuration.”
In this scenario, although the integration is configured for Full-Diff, failure to include "Home Address Change" in the subscription list prevents the system from recognizing the update, thereby omitting it from the output file.
Incorrect Options Explained:
A. Configure Integration Field OverridesThis option is used to override or map integration field values but has no impact on whether a change is detected or included in the output.
B. Maintain Integration AttributesWhile this configuration manages connector behavior and filtering rules, it does not control the detection of specific event changes.
D. Configure Integration Transaction LogThis is used for tracking and audit purposes but does not affect change detection or output inclusion.
