What is a key function and primary benefit of using a Document Transformation Connector within the integration capabilities of Workday?
A.
It provides functionality for defining a business process to manage both the connector integrations and document transformations output files.
B.
It enables the application of intricate calculations on Workday data before it is extracted by other integration tools for external transmission.
C.
It plays a crucial role in converting the XML outputs generated by connector integrations into diverse formats and allows for data formatting and validation.
D.
It serves as the principal tool for establishing and maintaining secure connections of connector integrations with various external systems.
The Document Transformation Connector is used in Workday to process and reformat XML outputs — often from Core Connector or EIB integrations — into custom formats like CSV, JSON, or flattened XML.
“The primary role of the Document Transformation Connector is to apply XSLT-based formatting, data reorganization, and validation to the output of Workday integrations before delivery to downstream systems.”
This is especially useful when third-party vendors require a specific format not natively supported by the integration system.
Why the other options are incorrect:
A. Managing business processes is not a DT Connector’s function.
B. Calculations are not the main purpose — that’s more for Calculated Fields or Studio.
D. While security is essential, secure connections are managed through Workday’s integration system and transport configuration, not the DT connector.
