    Hi all,


    Has anyone done any integration between Workday and Planning Analytics?

    Thanks for the response!

    I suspected that Workday would like have to be flat files.

    Hi Paul,

    Workday data would be connecting to a relational source. PA should be able to connect to receive and send data.

    Workday has a SOAP API https://community.workday.com/sites/default/files/file-hosting/productionapi/index.html 
    TM1 does not natively support this, but you could look at using Python and TM1PY to join the dots.

    I have used a series of Python executable scripts to export SOAP data to CSV for loading into TM1

    SOAP uses XML which can be difficult to navigate and to translate into TM1 readable formats, I found the ElementTree XML API very useful and a browser extension called "Wizdler" for reading the WSDL queries

    Happy to answer any SOAP questions you might have and on a separate note plus the Workday documentation on that link is very good

    I built an interface to a SOAP service some years ago and found the 'suds' library (https://github.com/suds-community/suds) quite functional for unpicking what was coming through. I also saw no need to write out to CSV and back - just built up a cellset from the input and use write_values to update (though I did have a debug option which wrote a CSV file....)
