Why teams connect Cloudera Data Platform and Ukg Pro

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

Stacksync syncs Time & Attendance (UTA), Employee (Person Details), Employment Details, Job / Position History from Ukg Pro into tables in Cloudera Data Platform continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Cloudera Data Platform, 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 Sync curated CDP tables into an operational Postgres so applications query a low-latency copy instead of hitting the cluster.
  • 02 Publish CRM or ERP records into CDP so enterprise analytics runs alongside existing data lake workloads.
  • 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

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 Cloudera Data Platform 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 Cloudera Data Platform 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 Cloudera Data Platform 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.

Cloudera Data Platform objects Ukg Pro objects How this pairing syncs
Object store / HDFS files Underlying Parquet or ORC files on HDFS or cloud storage backing the tables. Compensation Details Effective-dated pay rate and salary; usually read into a warehouse for comp reporting and writable as new dated changes through the compensation endpoints. Object store / HDFS files is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Compensation Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical namespaces in the shared Hive Metastore that group tables for access control and syncs. Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) Pay statements, direct-deposit accounts, and earnings history; read-only pay data replicated into finance and warehouse systems for labor-cost reporting. Databases is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Hive tables Warehouse tables queried over JDBC/ODBC; classic managed tables are append-oriented. Terminations Termination transactions posted with a terminationDate and a reason code that must match the tenant's configured reason table; drives account deprovisioning. Hive tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Terminations to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Impala tables The same metastore tables served through Impala for lower-latency SQL reads. 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. Impala tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Configuration Setup (Code Tables) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Kudu tables Storage engine tables that support row-level inserts, updates, and deletes. Time & Attendance (UTA) Timekeeping and worked-hours data exposed by the UTA services; synced into scheduling, payroll, or workforce-analytics databases. Kudu tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Time & Attendance (UTA) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Iceberg tables Open table format tables in newer CDP versions, with snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. 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. Iceberg tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Employee (Person Details) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cloudera Data Platform 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.

Cloudera Data Platform Ukg Pro Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Cloudera Data Platform for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via SQL on timestamp or partition columns.

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

Ukg Pro Cloudera Data Platform Sub-second propagation

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

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Cloudera Data Platform as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Cloudera Data Platform: Constrained by cluster capacity and admission control rather than API rate limits.
  • 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 Cloudera Data Platform and Ukg Pro connectors work

Cloudera Data Platform

Integration surface
JDBC/ODBC over Hive and Impala SQL endpoints, plus REST management APIs
Authentication
Kerberos, LDAP, or workload user credentials, often brokered through the Knox gateway
Change detection
Polling via SQL on timestamp or partition columns; no consumer-facing change feed
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.

Rate limits
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.
