Why teams connect Azure SQL Database and Ukg Ready

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Azure SQL Database and Ukg Ready share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Ukg Ready is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Azure SQL Database is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Cost Centers / Groups, Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees, Employment / Positions in Ukg Ready need to exist as queryable Rows and columns, Stored procedures, Change tracking / CDC tables, Tables in Azure SQL Database before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Rows and columns, Stored procedures, Change tracking / CDC tables, Tables in Azure SQL Database with Cost Centers / Groups, Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees, Employment / Positions in Ukg Ready field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ukg Ready typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed an Azure SQL operational database with orders and inventory from an ERP in near real time.
  • 02 Expose SaaS data (billing, support tickets) as tables in Azure SQL for reporting teams already on Microsoft tooling.
  • 03 Feed Timesheet Entries and Accruals/Time Off into a data warehouse for labor-cost, overtime, and PTO-liability reporting.
  • 04 Mirror Cost Centers/Groups and Compensation into finance and planning systems for headcount and budget reconciliation.

Common sync patterns

Reporting and analytics on current data

Cost Centers / Groups, Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees, Employment / Positions replicate into Azure SQL Database where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Ukg Ready stay consistent in Azure SQL Database, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in Azure SQL Database write onto the matching record in Ukg Ready where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

What you can sync between Azure SQL Database and Ukg Ready

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.

Azure SQL Database objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Views Read-only projections used when the sync should expose a curated shape rather than raw tables. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Views is specific to Azure SQL Database and Benefits to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that organize tables and control which objects a sync user can reach. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Schemas is specific to Azure SQL Database and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows and columns Standard relational records with typed columns; primary keys anchor upserts. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Rows and columns is specific to Azure SQL Database and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures Existing business logic that some teams invoke on write instead of direct table inserts. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Stored procedures is specific to Azure SQL Database and Employees to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Change tracking / CDC tables System-maintained change records used to drive incremental sync. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Change tracking / CDC tables is specific to Azure SQL Database and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in the paired system. Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. Tables is specific to Azure SQL Database and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure SQL Database and Ukg Ready

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Azure SQL Database Ukg Ready Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Azure SQL Database are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Change data capture or change tracking, both supported on Azure SQL Database.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ukg Ready through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Ukg Ready Azure SQL Database Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Ready notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Azure SQL Database as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ukg Ready: Rate limits apply over roughly a 1-minute window and return HTTP 429 when exceeded (back off / exponential retry); UKG Webhooks run on a tiered quota with a free tier around 10,000 event notifications per month and 14-day event retention.
