XPath Schema Mapping

The default Workday SaaS connector includes XPATHs for all default business processes. If you must aggregate future data and future actions for a different business process, you must define the new XPATHs for that business process.


This is the companion discussion topic for the documentation at https://documentation.sailpoint.com/connectors/saas/workday/help/saas_connectivity/workday/xpath_schema_mapping.html

Can I have a list of the default schemas and their XPath mappings?

I am currently working on setting up a new Workday source using the SaaS connector and planning to transition away from the old Workday source, which relies on a virtual appliance. However, I am encountering challenges with the default business processes, specifically SUPERVISORY_ORGANIZATION. Below is the XPath I’ve been using, but I’m unsure why a particular attribute isn’t appearing in my new source. Additionally, the default COUNTRY business process is not showing up either. I’ve already checked with the Workday team, and they’ve confirmed that there haven’t been any changes to security permissions. I would appreciate your guidance on this matter.

Old connector XPath mapping:

ns1:Worker_Data/ns1:Organization_Data/ns1:Worker_Organization_Data/ns1:Organization_Data[ns1:Organization_Type_Reference[ns1:ID [@ns1:type='Organization_Type_ID']='224.3']]/ns1:Organization_Name | ns1:Worker_Data/ns1:Organization_Data/ns1:Worker_Organization_Data/ns1:Organization_Data[ns1:Organization_Type_Reference[ns1:ID [@ns1:type='Organization_Type_ID']='Supervisory']]/ns1:Organization_Name

Workday Saas connector XPath

wd:Worker_Data/wd:Organization_Data/wd:Worker_Organization_Data/wd:Organization_Data[wd:Organization_Type_Reference[wd:ID [@wd:type='Organization_Type_ID']='224.3']]/wd:Organization_Name | wd:Worker_Data/wd:Organization_Data/wd:Worker_Organization_Data/wd:Organization_Data[wd:Organization_Type_Reference[wd:ID [@wd:type='Organization_Type_ID']='Supervisory']]/wd:Organization_Name
