Why teams connect MySQL and Ukg Ready

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: MySQL 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. MySQL 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 Tables, Views, Columns, Primary and Unique Keys in MySQL 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 Tables, Views, Columns, Primary and Unique Keys in MySQL 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 a warehouse from MySQL continuously using binlog-based capture instead of nightly dumps
  • 02 Two-way sync between a MySQL application database and a CRM so operational records and sales records stay identical
  • 03 Create new-hire Employee records in UKG Ready from an ATS or onboarding workflow, including position, cost center, and compensation fields.
  • 04 Feed Timesheet Entries and Accruals/Time Off into a data warehouse for labor-cost, overtime, and PTO-liability reporting.

Common sync patterns

Org and structure stay aligned

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

Computed and operational fields flow back

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

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Ukg Ready land as queryable Tables, Views, Columns, Primary and Unique Keys in MySQL, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

What you can sync between MySQL 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.

MySQL objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling. Accruals / Time Off PTO balances, requests, and approver status; read for liability reporting and requests can be created against employee records. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to MySQL and Accruals / Time Off to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSON Columns Validated semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS data. Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) Earnings and deductions can be imported into pay runs; Employee Payroll Runs (gross, net, taxes) read back for GL posting and analytics. JSON Columns is specific to MySQL and Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Stored Procedures is specific to MySQL and Benefits to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Triggers An alternative change-capture mechanism when binlog access is unavailable. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Triggers is specific to MySQL and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Databases (Schemas) is specific to MySQL and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Tables is specific to MySQL and Employees to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MySQL 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.

MySQL Ukg Ready Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MySQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when.

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

Ukg Ready MySQL 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 MySQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • MySQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.
  • 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.
