Why teams connect SQL Server and Ukg Ready

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: SQL Server 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. SQL Server is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees, Employment / Positions, Compensation in Ukg Ready need to exist as queryable Stored Procedures, Databases, Schemas, Tables in SQL Server 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 Stored Procedures, Databases, Schemas, Tables in SQL Server with Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees, Employment / Positions, Compensation 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 Consolidate branch or plant databases into a single operational SQL Server hub
  • 02 Bi-directional sync between SQL Server rows and CRM objects so .NET line-of-business apps and sales tools share one dataset
  • 03 Mirror Cost Centers/Groups and Compensation into finance and planning systems for headcount and budget reconciliation.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in SQL Server 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 Stored Procedures, Databases, Schemas, Tables in SQL Server, 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.

What you can sync between SQL Server 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.

SQL Server objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces (dbo and custom) used to organize synced tables. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Schemas is specific to SQL Server and Benefits 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. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Tables is specific to SQL Server and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Views is specific to SQL Server and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Field-level mapping targets with T-SQL types. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Columns is specific to SQL Server and Employees to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to SQL Server and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
CDC Change Tables System-populated tables holding captured inserts, updates, and deletes for consumers. Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. CDC Change Tables is specific to SQL Server and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between SQL Server 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.

SQL Server Ukg Ready Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SQL Server are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SQL Server Native Change Data Capture (CDC).

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • SQL Server: No API rate limits; throughput depends on instance resources, licensing tier, and connection limits.
  • 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.
