Why teams connect MarkLogic and Workday

Work with Workday's financial data straight from MarkLogic: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Workers, Organizations, Positions, Compensation from Workday into Document Metadata & Properties, Databases & Forests, Users & Roles, Documents in MarkLogic and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against MarkLogic, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Workday with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • 02 Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • 03 Sync curated master data from a MarkLogic data hub into operational CRMs and ERPs.
  • 04 Land document data in relational warehouses by reading TDE views as SQL rows.

Common sync patterns

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Workday live in MarkLogic as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on MarkLogic; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Workday.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in MarkLogic propagate into Workday, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

What you can sync between MarkLogic and Workday

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.

MarkLogic objects Workday objects How this pairing syncs
Users & Roles Security principals that govern what an integration credential can read or write. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. Users & Roles is specific to MarkLogic and Customers and Invoices to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents JSON and XML documents, the primary records read from and written to the database. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. Documents is specific to MarkLogic and Journal Entries to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collections Named groupings used to scope which documents a sync reads or updates. Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs. Collections is specific to MarkLogic and Custom Reports (RaaS) to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Semantic Triples RDF data stored alongside documents, queryable with SPARQL for linked-data syncs. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs. Semantic Triples is specific to MarkLogic and Workers to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
TDE Views Relational projections of documents that let syncs read document data as SQL rows. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems. TDE Views is specific to MarkLogic and Organizations to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Document Metadata & Properties Permissions, quality, and property fragments carried with each document. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools. Document Metadata & Properties is specific to MarkLogic and Positions to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MarkLogic and Workday

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.

MarkLogic Workday Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MarkLogic for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction log.

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

Workday MarkLogic Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Workday for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment.

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