2649816 - CompoundEmployee API Delta Transmission

Symptom

Delta Transmission - Overview

Employee Central’s Compound Employee API offers two different kinds of delta transmission:

  • Effective-dated delta transmission
  • Period-based delta transmission

Effective-dated delta transmission is designed for consumers that work in an effective-dated manner. This means, it is assumed that consumers store the time frame (start and end date) when a data record is effective. Deltas are communicated with regard to the time frames that have been transmitted in the last replication.

In contrast to this, period-based delta transmission is intended for consumers that are not able to deal with effective-dated objects. Deltas contain retro-active changes and effective-dated objects that are relevant for the given period.
Non-effective dated objects are returned in both kinds of delta transmission, if these are changed after the last replication.

Note: Delta transmission is based on active auditing to determine the historical data set of employees, which means that auditing must be switched on during the system setup phase prior to the initial load of employees into the system.
