Why teams connect ClickHouse and Ukg Pro

Land the people and organization records from Ukg Pro in ClickHouse 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 ClickHouse next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings), Terminations, Configuration Setup (Code Tables), Time & Attendance (UTA) from Ukg Pro into tables in ClickHouse continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in ClickHouse, 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 Consolidate logs and business records from multiple sources into MergeTree tables for retention and reporting.
  • 02 Land product event data alongside synced CRM accounts so analysts join usage and revenue in one place.
  • 03 Deprovision accounts by subscribing to UKG Pro termination and job-change webhook events to disable IdP and app access as changes become effective.
  • 04 Keep Configuration code tables (jobs, locations, departments, cost centers) aligned between UKG Pro and an ERP so org and cost-center hierarchies match.

Common sync patterns

Fresh data instead of last night's load

Because changes stream continuously, reports query current workforce data rather than waiting for an overnight load window to finish.

Queryable history for planning and audit

A continuously synced copy in ClickHouse gives you a durable, queryable record of how Ukg Pro's records change over time, for headcount planning and audit questions.

Write-back of computed values

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

What you can sync between ClickHouse 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.

ClickHouse objects Ukg Pro objects How this pairing syncs
Dictionaries In-memory lookup structures refreshed from external sources, sometimes fed by syncs. Terminations Termination transactions posted with a terminationDate and a reason code that must match the tenant's configured reason table; drives account deprovisioning. Dictionaries is specific to ClickHouse and Terminations to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables (MergeTree family) Columnar, append-optimized tables that serve as the destination for high-volume sync loads. 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. Tables (MergeTree family) is specific to ClickHouse and Configuration Setup (Code Tables) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Namespaces that group tables and scope permissions for sync users. Time & Attendance (UTA) Timekeeping and worked-hours data exposed by the UTA services; synced into scheduling, payroll, or workforce-analytics databases. Databases is specific to ClickHouse and Time & Attendance (UTA) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Saved queries used as curated, read-only sync sources. 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. Views is specific to ClickHouse and Employee (Person Details) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized views Insert-time transformations that reshape incoming synced rows into aggregates. Employment Details Employment status, hire and service dates, and company assignment; the record that drives active/terminated state for provisioning downstream. Materialized views is specific to ClickHouse and Employment Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Distributed tables Query-routing tables over cluster shards in self-managed deployments. Job / Position History Effective-dated job, position, department, supervisor, location, and cost center; the most-synced record for org charts, provisioning, and analytics. Distributed tables is specific to ClickHouse and Job / Position History to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between ClickHouse 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.

ClickHouse Ukg Pro Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls ClickHouse for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No log-based CDC for consumers.

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

Ukg Pro ClickHouse Sub-second propagation

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

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to ClickHouse 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 ClickHouse and Ukg Pro connectors work

ClickHouse

Integration surface
Native TCP protocol and HTTP interface; standard SQL dialect, with MySQL and PostgreSQL wire compatibility available
Authentication
Database credentials (username/password); ClickHouse Cloud issues per-service credentials over TLS
Change detection
No log-based CDC for consumers; incremental reads use polling on monotonic columns, and ClickHouse is usually the destination rather than the source
Capabilities
read · write

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.

Rate limits
