Module Overview

The Notification Web Service provides an operation that informs external systems of business events that occur within Workday. The WSDL for this service provides the structure that needs to be implemented by an external system to receive notifications for their subscribed Workday business events. Subscriptions and Notification details (i.e. Endpoint and security information) are defined within the Workday application.

Configuration

To use the this module within a flow the namespace to the module must be included. The resulting flow will look similar to the following:

<mule xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xmlns:wd-notification="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/wd-notification"
      xsi:schemaLocation="
               http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core
               http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core/current/mule.xsd
               http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/wd-notification
               http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/wd-notification/current/mule-wd-notification.xsd">

      <!-- here goes your flows and configuration elements -->

Connection Pool

This connector offers automatic connection management via the use of a connection pool. The pool will act a storage mechanism for all the connections that are in-use by the user of this connector.

Prior to execution of a processor, the connector will attempt to lookup an already established connection and if one doesn't exists it will create one. That lookup mechanism is done in the connection pool via the use of connection variables declared as keys.

The user of the connector can configure the pool by adding a connection-pooling-profile to the connector configuration like this:

    <wd-notification:connection-pooling-profile maxActive="10" maxIdle="10"
                             exhaustedAction="WHEN_EXHAUSTED_GROW" maxWait="120" minEvictionMillis="60000" evictionCheckIntervalMillis="30000"/>

The following is a list of connection attributes, each connection attribute can be configured at the config element level or they can also be added to each processor. If they are used at the processor level they get the benefit of full expression resolution.

Connection Attributes
NameDefault ValueDescriptionJava TypeMIME TypeEncoding
config-ref Optional. Specify which configuration to use.
notificationUser Workday user String */* UTF-8
notificationPassword Workday password String */* UTF-8
notificationEndpoint Workday endpoint String */* UTF-8
notificationWsdlLocation https://community.workday.com/custom/developer/API/Notification/v20/Notification.wsdl Optional. Workday WSDL location String */* UTF-8

Reconnection Strategies

Reconnection Strategies specify how a connector behaves when its connection fails. You can control how Mule attempts to reconnect by specifying a number of criteria:

With a reconnection strategy, you can better control the behavior of a failed connection, by configuring it, for example, to re-attempt the connection only once every 15 minutes, and to give up after 30 attempts. You can also send an automatic notification to your IT administrator whenever this reconnection strategy goes into effect. You can even define a strategy that attempts to reconnect only during business hours. Such a setting can prove useful if your server is frequently shut down for nightly maintenance.

Configuration

A reconnection strategy that allows the user to configure how many times a reconnection should be attempted and how long to wait between attempts.

    <wd-notification:config>
         <reconnect count="5" frequency="1000"/>
    </wd-notification:config>
Reconnect Attributes
NameDefault ValueDescription
frequency 2000 Optional. How often (in ms) to reconnect
count 2 Optional. How many reconnection attempts to make
