Why teams connect TimescaleDB and Ukg Pro

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: TimescaleDB and Ukg Pro share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Ukg Pro is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. TimescaleDB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Job / Position History, Compensation Details, Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings), Terminations in Ukg Pro need to exist as queryable Views, Schemas, Hypertables, Chunks in TimescaleDB 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 Views, Schemas, Hypertables, Chunks in TimescaleDB with Job / Position History, Compensation Details, Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings), Terminations in Ukg Pro field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ukg Pro 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 Keep device or asset reference tables bi-directionally in sync between TimescaleDB and an ERP.
  • 02 Consolidate metrics from several services into one hypertable to serve a single reporting layer.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Employee and Job Details (position, department, supervisor, location, cost center) into Postgres so provisioning, internal apps, and analytics read current worker and org data in SQL while HR edits in UKG Pro.
  • 04 Push new hires (Employee, Employment, Job) into an ERP, IdP, or app database when onboarding completes so account, cost-center, and payroll setup fire on hire instead of manual report exports.

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

Job / Position History, Compensation Details, Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings), Terminations replicate into TimescaleDB 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 Ukg Pro stay consistent in TimescaleDB, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

What you can sync between TimescaleDB and Ukg Pro

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.

TimescaleDB objects Ukg Pro objects How this pairing syncs
Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers. Job / Position History Effective-dated job, position, department, supervisor, location, and cost center; the most-synced record for org charts, provisioning, and analytics. Views is specific to TimescaleDB and Job / Position History to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment. Compensation Details Effective-dated pay rate and salary; usually read into a warehouse for comp reporting and writable as new dated changes through the compensation endpoints. Schemas is specific to TimescaleDB and Compensation Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs. Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) Pay statements, direct-deposit accounts, and earnings history; read-only pay data replicated into finance and warehouse systems for labor-cost reporting. Hypertables is specific to TimescaleDB and Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly. Terminations Termination transactions posted with a terminationDate and a reason code that must match the tenant's configured reason table; drives account deprovisioning. Chunks is specific to TimescaleDB and Terminations to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems. Configuration Setup (Code Tables) Reference data such as jobs, locations, positions, earnings, and deduction codes; used to resolve and validate field values when mapping records during sync. Continuous Aggregates is specific to TimescaleDB and Configuration Setup (Code Tables) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data. Time & Attendance (UTA) Timekeeping and worked-hours data exposed by the UTA services; synced into scheduling, payroll, or workforce-analytics databases. Regular PostgreSQL Tables is specific to TimescaleDB and Time & Attendance (UTA) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between TimescaleDB and Ukg Pro

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.

TimescaleDB Ukg Pro Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TimescaleDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must.

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

Ukg Pro TimescaleDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Pro notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • TimescaleDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.
  • Ukg Pro: An API gateway throttles calls per client over a rolling window (typically per minute); UKG does not publish exact numeric thresholds. Exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429, and UKG recommends a roughly one-second looping backoff before resuming (a Retry-After header is not yet standard). Reads are offset-paginated.

Authentication
Core HCM REST APIs use HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated web service account, plus a Customer API Key and a User API Key sent as headers (found under System Configuration > Security > Service Account Administration); the Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs instead require a bearer Authorization Token from the token endpoint.
Change detection
No CDC stream. UKG Pro publishes Pro HCM Webhook Events for changes such as new hire, employee and job detail changes, termination, and PTO, which Stacksync subscribes to for near-real-time triggers; bulk and historical loads use paged reads with each service's modified-since filters.
