Create a Workday Activity Logging connection

Beta

This feature is in Beta. To use it, a workspace admin must turn on Lakeflow Connect for Workday Activity Logging from the Previews page. See Manage Databricks previews.

Create a Workday Activity Logging connection in Catalog Explorer to store authentication credentials for Lakeflow Connect ingestion. Any user with the USE CONNECTION privilege on the connection can then create Workday Activity Logging ingestion pipelines without needing direct access to the credentials.

For privilege requirements, see Connect to managed ingestion sources.

Prerequisites

Complete the source setup. Use the values retrieved there to create the connection.

Create a connection

1. In the Databricks workspace, click Catalog > Create > Create a connection.
2. On the Connection basics page of the Set up connection wizard, specify a Connection name.
3. In the Connection type drop-down menu, select Workday Activity Logging.
4. (Optional) Add a comment.
5. Click Next.
6. On the Authentication page, enter the following values from Configure authentication to Workday:
   • Instance URL: Your Workday instance host, without a scheme or path. For example, wd2-impl-services1.workday.com.
   • Tenant name: Your Workday tenant name. For example, your_tenant.
   • Client ID: The OAuth client ID.
   • Client Secret: The OAuth client secret.
   • Refresh token: The OAuth refresh token generated for the integration system user.
7. Click Create connection.
