Why teams connect OpenSearch and Ukg Ready

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: OpenSearch 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. OpenSearch is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Employees, Employment / Positions, Compensation, Timesheet Entries in Ukg Ready need to exist as queryable Index templates, Ingest pipelines, Data streams, Snapshots in OpenSearch 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 Index templates, Ingest pipelines, Data streams, Snapshots in OpenSearch with Employees, Employment / Positions, Compensation, Timesheet Entries 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 Sync product catalogs from an ERP or database into the indexes that back storefront search.
  • 02 Keep Postgres as the source of truth while mirroring rows to OpenSearch for full-text and vector queries.
  • 03 Two-way sync Employees and Employment/Position records with an operational Postgres database so internal apps and IT provisioning read job title, department, and status in SQL while HR edits in UKG Ready.
  • 04 Import computed Earnings and deductions into UKG Ready payroll runs from a warehouse or external time-tracking system ahead of each pay period.

Common sync patterns

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Ukg Ready land as queryable Index templates, Ingest pipelines, Data streams, Snapshots in OpenSearch, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

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

Employees, Employment / Positions, Compensation, Timesheet Entries replicate into OpenSearch where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

What you can sync between OpenSearch 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.

OpenSearch objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Indexes The core container; synced records land in indexes with defined mappings Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Indexes is specific to OpenSearch and Employees to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents JSON records written via the index and bulk APIs and read via search queries Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Documents is specific to OpenSearch and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Index aliases Stable names over rotating indexes, used for zero-downtime reindex during backfills Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. Index aliases is specific to OpenSearch and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Index templates Mapping and settings presets applied to new indexes a sync creates Timesheet Entries Time-and-attendance punches, hours worked, and breaks; written from external time systems and read into warehouses for labor-cost reporting. Index templates is specific to OpenSearch and Timesheet Entries to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Ingest pipelines Server-side processors that transform documents as they are written Accruals / Time Off PTO balances, requests, and approver status; read for liability reporting and requests can be created against employee records. Ingest pipelines is specific to OpenSearch and Accruals / Time Off to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data streams Append-oriented time-series storage for logs and events pushed from source systems 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. Data streams is specific to OpenSearch and Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between OpenSearch 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.

OpenSearch Ukg Ready Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls OpenSearch for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native change feed.

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

Ukg Ready OpenSearch 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 written to OpenSearch through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • OpenSearch: Throughput bounded by cluster sizing rather than fixed API quotas.
  • 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.
