When deciding on the appropriate integration type, several critical factors should be taken into account:
- Eligibility Criteria: Determine the eligibility requirements for the integration.
- Data Scope: Decide if the integration should include only changes or the full dataset.
- Data Handling Approach: Use CCW if only the most recent values are needed (e.g., the latest name in the system).
- Data Completeness: Evaluate whether all data from the tenant is necessary (e.g., locations) or only updated elements (e.g., employee name changes).
- Output Format: If XML output is sufficient, no Data Transformation (DT) is required.
- DT (XSLT) is necessary if the output needs to be in .csv or .dat format.
- Employee Scope: Decide if the integration should include only active employees or also contingent workforce.
- Transaction Restrictions: Identify any specific transactions that need to be restricted.
- Regional Restrictions: Determine if the output should be limited to specific regions.
- Custom Formatting Needs: Assess whether custom formatting is required for the data.
