Why teams connect Azure Synapse Analytics and Ukg Pro

Land the people and organization records from Ukg Pro in Azure Synapse Analytics as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Ukg Pro can use them.

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Ukg Pro is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Azure Synapse Analytics next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Employee (Person Details), Employment Details, Job / Position History, Compensation Details from Ukg Pro into tables in Azure Synapse Analytics continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Azure Synapse Analytics, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Ukg Pro where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.

Common use cases

  • 01 Publish warehouse aggregates (account health scores, LTV) from Synapse back into operational tools like a CRM.
  • 02 Sync curated Synapse views into an operational Postgres or Azure SQL database that applications can query cheaply.
  • 03 Push new hires (Employee, Employment, Job) into an ERP, IdP, or app database when onboarding completes so account, cost-center, and payroll setup fire on hire instead of manual report exports.
  • 04 Replicate Compensation and pay-statement / earnings history into a warehouse for headcount, labor-cost, and payroll reporting without manual BI exports.

Common sync patterns

Write-back of computed values

Segments, rollups, or risk flags computed in Azure Synapse Analytics sync back onto the matching records in Ukg Pro, where the HR team sees them in the system they already use.

HR data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

People and organization records from Ukg Pro arrive in Azure Synapse Analytics as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind, replacing hand-built extract jobs.

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine Ukg Pro's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in Azure Synapse Analytics for reporting the HR system cannot produce on its own.

What you can sync between Azure Synapse Analytics and Ukg Pro

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 Synapse Analytics objects Ukg Pro objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized views Precomputed aggregates that speed reads of frequently synced result sets. Terminations Termination transactions posted with a terminationDate and a reason code that must match the tenant's configured reason table; drives account deprovisioning. Materialized views is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Terminations to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
SQL pools Dedicated or serverless compute contexts that determine how and where queries run. Configuration Setup (Code Tables) Reference data such as jobs, locations, positions, earnings, and deduction codes; used to resolve and validate field values when mapping records during sync. SQL pools is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Configuration Setup (Code Tables) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables (dedicated SQL pool) Distributed warehouse tables that serve as sync destinations for analytics workloads. Time & Attendance (UTA) Timekeeping and worked-hours data exposed by the UTA services; synced into scheduling, payroll, or workforce-analytics databases. Tables (dedicated SQL pool) is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Time & Attendance (UTA) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
External tables Tables over files in the data lake, queried through serverless SQL and often read-only in syncs. Employee (Person Details) Core worker record with demographics and identifiers; read by listing employee IDs then fetching each profile, and created on hire via the personnel/onboarding endpoints. External tables is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Employee (Person Details) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated projections used when downstream tools should not read base tables directly. Employment Details Employment status, hire and service dates, and company assignment; the record that drives active/terminated state for provisioning downstream. Views is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Employment Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that separate staging, integration, and presentation layers. Job / Position History Effective-dated job, position, department, supervisor, location, and cost center; the most-synced record for org charts, provisioning, and analytics. Schemas is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Job / Position History to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Synapse Analytics and Ukg Pro

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 Synapse Analytics Ukg Pro Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Azure Synapse Analytics for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on watermark columns.

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

Ukg Pro Azure Synapse Analytics Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Pro notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ukg Pro: An API gateway throttles calls per client over a rolling window (typically per minute); UKG does not publish exact numeric thresholds. Exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429, and UKG recommends a roughly one-second looping backoff before resuming (a Retry-After header is not yet standard). Reads are offset-paginated.

How the Azure Synapse Analytics and Ukg Pro connectors work

Azure Synapse Analytics

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (TDS) with T-SQL for SQL pools; additional Spark and pipeline surfaces exist but syncs use the SQL endpoint
Authentication
SQL authentication or Microsoft Entra ID
Change detection
Polling on watermark columns; Synapse SQL pools do not expose log-based CDC for downstream consumers
Capabilities

Ukg Pro

Integration surface
REST API (UKG Pro HCM REST services) with separate Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs, plus legacy SOAP-based UKG Pro Web Services
Authentication
Core HCM REST APIs use HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated web service account, plus a Customer API Key and a User API Key sent as headers (found under System Configuration > Security > Service Account Administration); the Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs instead require a bearer Authorization Token from the token endpoint.
Change detection
No CDC stream. UKG Pro publishes Pro HCM Webhook Events for changes such as new hire, employee and job detail changes, termination, and PTO, which Stacksync subscribes to for near-real-time triggers; bulk and historical loads use paged reads with each service's modified-since filters.
