Build Data Flows from UKG Pro WFM to SQL Server using SSIS

Using SQL Server as a backup for critical business data provides an essential safety net against loss. Backing up data to SQL Server enables business users to more easily connect that data with features like reporting, analytics, and more.

This example demonstrates how to use the CData SSIS Tasks for UKG Pro WFM inside of a SQL Server SSIS workflow to transfer UKG Pro WFM data into a Microsoft SQL Server database.

Add the Components

To get started, add a new UKG Pro WFM source and SQL Server ADO.NET destination to a new data flow task.

Create a New Connection Manager

Follow the steps below to save UKG Pro WFM connection properties in a connection manager.

1. In the Connection Manager window, right-click and then click New Connection. The Add SSIS Connection Manager dialog is displayed.
2. In the Connection Manager type menu, select API. The CData UKG Pro WFM Connection Manager is displayed.
3. Configure connection properties.

   Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the UKGProWFM Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\UKGProWFM.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for UKGProWFM (see below).

   UKGProWFM API Profile Settings

   UKG Pro Workforce Management uses OAuth 2.0 with the Resource Owner Password Credentials grant (grant_type=password) to authorize access to the API. Unlike most OAuth-based profiles, this does not use a browser redirect/authorization-code step: the driver exchanges your UKG Pro WFM username, password, client ID, and client secret directly for an access token.

   Set the following connection properties to authenticate:

   • AuthScheme: Set this to OAuthPassword.
   • Host: Set this to the hostname of your UKG Pro Workforce Management datacenter/tenant (for example, yourcompany.mykronos.com). Do not include the protocol (https://) or a trailing slash.
   • OAuthClientId: Set this to the client ID issued for your UKG Pro Workforce Management OAuth application.
   • OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the client secret issued for your UKG Pro Workforce Management OAuth application.
   • User: Set this to your UKG Pro Workforce Management username.
   • Password: Set this to your UKG Pro Workforce Management password.

   Access tokens are obtained from https://{Host}/api/authentication/access_token. Refresh tokens issued by UKG Pro Workforce Management expire after 7 days; if a refresh attempt fails because the refresh token itself has expired, the driver must re-authenticate with your User/Password credentials to obtain a new access token.

   

Configure the UKG Pro WFM Source

Follow the steps below to specify the query to be used to extract UKG Pro WFM data.

1. Double-click the UKG Pro WFM source to open the source component editor.
2. In the Connection Manager menu, select the connection manager previously created.
3. Specify the query to use for the data extraction. For example:

   
   SELECT PersonNumber, UserName FROM Employees WHERE PersonId = '12345'
   

   
4. Close the UKG Pro WFM Source control and connect it to the ADO.NET Destination.

Configure the SQL Server Destination

Follow the steps below to specify the SQL server table to load the UKG Pro WFM data into.

1. Open the ADO.NET Destination and add a New Connection. Enter your server and database information here.
2. In the Data access mode menu, select "table or view".
3. In the Table Or View menu, select the table or view to populate.
4. Configure any properties you wish to on the Mappings screen.

Run the Project

You can now run the project. After the SSIS Task has finished executing, your database will be populated with UKG Pro WFM data.
