Why teams connect OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Paylocity

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Paylocity share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Paylocity is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Deductions (Pay Setup), Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes, Direct Deposit in Paylocity need to exist as queryable PL/SQL procedures and packages, JSON collections, Partitions, Tables in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) 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 PL/SQL procedures and packages, JSON collections, Partitions, Tables in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) with Deductions (Pay Setup), Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes, Direct Deposit in Paylocity field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Paylocity 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 Expose ERP or billing data held in OCI to internal tools by syncing selected schemas to a managed Postgres.
  • 02 Write changes from SaaS applications back into OCI so PL/SQL-based processes operate on current data.
  • 03 Upsert recurring Deductions and Earnings on employee records when benefits or 401(k) elections change in a benefits admin system, without re-keying payroll setup.
  • 04 Read Pay Statements and Direct Deposit allocations into a Postgres or warehouse database for labor-cost, GL, and headcount reporting in SQL.

Common sync patterns

One directory of record

When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.

Reporting and analytics on current data

Deductions (Pay Setup), Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes, Direct Deposit replicate into OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Paylocity stay consistent in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud), so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

What you can sync between OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Paylocity

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.

OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) objects Paylocity objects How this pairing syncs
Views Read-only projections used to expose curated subsets to downstream systems Earnings (Pay Setup) Recurring earning codes at the employee level; two-way via Upsert Earning and Delete, with Get All Earnings and Get by earning code for reads. Views is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Earnings (Pay Setup) to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized views Precomputed result sets sometimes used as stable read sources for replication Local and State Taxes Two-way via Create/Update/Delete Local Tax and Upsert Primary / Non-Primary State Tax; Get by tax code and Get All for reads. Materialized views is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Local and State Taxes to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespace boundaries that scope which objects a sync connection can access Direct Deposit Read-only: Get All Direct Deposit and Get Employee Bank Accounts return main and additional allocations. Bank details cannot be written through the API. Schemas is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Direct Deposit to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Key generators that matter when writing new rows from external systems Pay Statements Read-only detailed payroll statement data — earnings, deductions, taxes, and direct deposit allocations by year, check date, or date range. Pulled for reporting, never written. Sequences is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Pay Statements to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
PL/SQL procedures and packages Server-side logic that can react to synced data or transform it in place Company Codes Read-only reference codes and descriptions (cost centers, departments, positions) used to validate field mappings on employee writes. PL/SQL procedures and packages is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Company Codes to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSON collections Document-style storage in the converged engine, synced alongside relational tables Custom Fields Read-only company-specific custom fields returned by category, used to enrich the employee record downstream. JSON collections is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Custom Fields to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Paylocity

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.

OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) Paylocity Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC from redo logs (LogMiner or GoldenGate), or timestamp polling.

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

Paylocity OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) Sub-second propagation

DetectionPaylocity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • OCI Database (Oracle Cloud): Throughput bounded by instance sizing rather than API quotas.
  • Paylocity: 25 requests per second (1,500 per minute); exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Every path is scoped to a Paylocity-assigned companyId (a company code, not a UUID).

How the OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Paylocity connectors work

OCI Database (Oracle Cloud)

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (Oracle Net) via JDBC, ODBC, and native drivers; ORDS REST optionally exposes tables over HTTP
Authentication
database credentials, commonly with mutual TLS using a client wallet on Autonomous Database; OCI IAM integration available

Paylocity

Integration surface
REST API (v1 and v2), JSON payloads
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client credentials via the Paylocity Identity Provider (/IdentityServer/connect/token) with the WebLinkAPI scope; access tokens expire after one hour and API access must be enabled by Paylocity for the company
Change detection
Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL; payloads carry only companyId and employeeId, so the receiver calls the relevant API to fetch changed values. Scheduled polling is used for objects without webhooks.
