Workday Integration with BTP Cloud integration (BTP CI / SAP CPI) through OAuth 2.0 Authentication

[Prabhugoud_Gogi]

Introduction:

Recently I got a requirement where BTP CI/SAP CPI should integration with workday using OAuth 2.0 authentication and replicate master data / transactional data from S/4HANA to Workday by consuming workday webservice's, since BTP CI workday adapter supports only basic authentication as a workaround solution to authenticate via OAuth 2.0.

Prerequisite:

1. Workday authentication details like Token URL, client ID, Client Secret, refresh token with required roles/permissions (read/write).
2. Check workday webservices are up and running.

I assume that you have any workday webservice to test.

Steps:

Below is the sample integration design to post cost center in workday through OAuth 2.0 authentication.

Step 1: Get Access token using Token URL, client_id, client_secret, refresh_token.

• Set the header with parameter Content-Type with the value “application/x-www-form-urlencoded” and configure the connection like below to get a token.
• Adding client_id and client_secret in basic user credentials of security material.
• Set Body with refresh_token and grant_type

Step 2:

Once we get a token, set it in the header of type Bearer.

Step 3:  Call workday web service to post data.
