of the non production options from the environment dropdown it is recommended that you create multiple connectors in this case as you cannot and should not mix environments in the same replication process thus, create one ceridian dayforce source connection and select the non production environment option complete any synchronization testing to your target connection when ready, create a new ceridian dayforce source connection and select the production environment option, create a new sync bridge, etc you can later disable any sync bridges that you were using the non production connector to prevent any charges from that non production source replication remember, utilization charges apply for any production or non production environments custom dayforce environment it is rare that ceridian dayforce provides your company with an environment that is not one of the following production config train test / stage however, if you do have a special environment, you will need to contact datalakehouse io support or your dlh io account manager in order to have the option to connect to a non standard dayforce environment replicated entities the following ceridian dayforce

policy association position project training program faq for employee pay summary, the last 10 days worth of records are always replicated in order to capture manual changes that may have occurred within ceridian for example, an employee submits a timesheet on a friday and their manager makes a manually adjustment within ceridian the following tuesday prior to the pay period closing the ceridian api end point does not have a last updated date so we need to replicate the last 10 days of pay summary records the ceridian employee pay summary endpoint does not contain a last updated timestamp so datalakehouse is unable to determine a more graceful way of replicating the last changed pay summary record thus, this is why datalakehouse io will always replicate the last 10 days worth of pay summary records to your what is a target connection? docid 3wx 24ml25noxc1atdbs4 employee data such as employee and employee status data for each sync bridge data pull goes back 31 days to retrieve correct statuses, etc for each employee where a change has been made in those last 31 days, for delta/incremental loads this date distance/history can be modified when using a historical re sync for employee and then reverts to 31 days once the historical load is completed custom entities if you don't see your custom entities per your dayforce configuration above don't worry datalakehouse io retrieves custom entities as well if they are accessible after the first sync bridge synchronization to your target warehouse, if you do not see any anticipated custom schemas please contact our support team common issues it's not uncommon for the credentials used for connecting to ceridian dayforce to not have all the necessary permissions to replicate all of the desired entities

resolving entity permission issues the following are how to address common permission issues from within ceridian dayforce projects entity you must enable projects (and relevant child nodes) under restful services > human resources in the web services field level access tab of system admin > roles in addition to field level access, you must enable can read for projects under the authorizations tab of system admin > roles your user role must have projects enabled in the features tab of system admin > roles link to ceridian documentation employeepayadjustment entity you must enable employeepayadjustment (and relevant child nodes) under restful services > workforce management in the web services field level access tab of system admin > roles enabled the can read 'pay adjustments' for the role in system admin > roles > authorizations link to ceridian documentation for pay adjustment why do some of my entities not have data? the ceridian api only allows thirty (7) days worth of data to be loaded for certain entities (employee punches) in order to rectify this situation please follow these steps open your ceridian source connector , click the options tab and select a date for the historical load start date this date should represent when data was first entered into your ceridian environment next, go to the list of your sync bridges, click the actions drop down for the desired bridge, click mark status as idle click actions re sync all history 2\ another reason you may not be seeing all of the employee punch data is that you have manual punches in ceridian in order to replicate these manual punch es, go into ceridian and you must enable employeepunch (and relevant child nodes) under restful services > workforce management > employeepunch in the web services field level access tab of system admin > roles analytics data model when subscribing to the enterprise analytics plan, you have access to the pre built ceridian dayforce analytics data model
