Employee Export Interface Logic

This section describes how the Standard Employee Export Interface converts Workforce Management data into a text file.

General

All data is exported as of the export date. This condition is significant for override-dependent entities including Employee, Employee Default Labor and Employee Balance and for date-dependent entities including Employee Entitlement and Employee Job. For static data including Workforce Management User and Employee UDF Data, the export only exports the table's contents.

The default mapping definition (HR EXPORT) places all the data specified in the Employee Export Interface Field Specification section, into the WBINT_EXPORT table.

All the field names used in the WBINT_EXPORT table under the Field Name column, can be referred in XML mapping definition with the copyfield attribute.

The transmitter class has to be defined in the HR Export Task Parameters page:

  • com.workbrain.app.export.process.CSVTransmitter exports the data to a file in CSV format.
  • com.workbrain.app.export.process.FixedWidthTransmitter exports the data to a file in fixed width format. A fixed width definition file must be supplied for this option.
  • Custom transmitter classes can be implemented for various outputs.

Clients can change the (HR EXPORT) mapping to export only related fields and can develop customized transmitters to export the file in different formats.
