Question English Answer English
Where can outboundDataURI be used?
start learning
Only on edit pages.
What is the purpose of outboundDataURI?
start learning
It defines an outbound endpoint that an edit page can call to send data to an external or Workday REST API.
What fields are required for each outbound endpoint in outboundEndPoints[]?
start learning
url, baseUrlType, name, and authType.
Is httpMethod required for Outbound?
start learning
No. The default is POST, so httpMethod is only needed when you want to use another method.
What does the baseUrlType attribute specify?
start learning
It specifies a dataProvider key defined in the AMD
What does the name attribute do?
start learning
It allows you to reference the outbound endpoint when binding a field to a tag value.
What does the authType attribute specify?
start learning
It specifies the authentication type ID defined in authTypes[] in the Site Metadata (SMD).
Where is the data provider referenced by baseUrlType defined?
start learning
In the App Metadata (AMD).
What does baseUrlType point to?
start learning
A dataProvider key in the AMD.
What does the AMD data provider define?
start learning
It defines the base URL used by the outbound endpoint.
What is the relationship between baseUrlType and the AMD?
start learning
baseUrlType references the AMD data provider's key, whose value contains the base URL.
Example: what does baseUrlType: "workday-procurement" reference?
start learning
It references the AMD data provider with:
If baseUrlType is workday-procurement and url is /requisitions, what is the resulting endpoint? A: The endpoint resolves to:
start learning
https://api. workday.com/procurement/v3/requisitions
Where are authentication types defined for PMDs?
start learning
In authTypes[] in the Site Metadata (SMD).
What authentication type do Workday REST APIs use by default?
start learning
SSO
What special rule applies to authentication schemes other than ISU?
start learning
You can use the scheme value from the SMD as the authType value in PMDs.
Can outboundDataURI be used on view pages?
start learning
No. Only edit pages.
What are the four required outbound endpoint fields?
start learning
url, baseUrlType, name, authType.
Example of outboundEndPoints
start learning
"outboundData": {"outboundEndPoints": [{"name": "submitRequisition", "url": "/requisitions", "authType": "sso", “httpmethod”:”POST”, "baseUrlType": "workday-procurement"} ]}
Example of valuesOut in a widget
start learning
{"id": "supOrg", "enabled": "<% size(superOrgs. value)!= 1 %>", "type": "instanceList", "label": "SupOrg", "valuesOut": [{"value": "<% self. value[0] %>", "valueOutBinding": "simaBO. supervisoryOrganization. id"} ]}
What is the timeout for an individual endpoint on a Presentation Component page?
start learning
24 seconds.
What happens if an individual endpoint exceeds 24 seconds?
start learning
It returns a timeout error.
What is the total request timeout on a Presentation Component page?
start learning
60 seconds.
What can be included in the 60-second request?
start learning
Initial page loads, page submissions, and remote validations.
What must happen if multiple endpoints are called in one request?
start learning
All operations must complete within the 60-second request limit.
How can you invoke an outbound endpoint conditionally?
start learning
Use the exclude attribute.
Does an endpoint failure roll back previous successful outbound requests
start learning
No. If one outbound endpoint fails, updates from preceding outbound requests aren't rolled back.
In what order are multiple outbound endpoints invoked?
start learning
In the order in which they are defined in outboundEndPoints[].
Does an endpoint failure roll back previous successful outbound requests?
start learning
No. If one outbound endpoint fails, updates from preceding outbound requests aren't rolled back.
Can a PMD script use the invoke method to call an outbound endpoint?
start learning
No.
What can the invoke method call instead?
start learning
A deferred inbound endpoint, which can be an Orchestration that performs additional processing.
Which event can be used to construct or manipulate the outbound request body?
start learning
The onSend event.
Invoke Endpoint Example
start learning
workersPositionDataDeferred. invoke({'supervisoryOrganizationId': supervisoryOrganization. value[0]})
When should you use valuesOut[] instead of valueOutBinding
start learning
When a widget contains multiple related values that need to be submitted to different outbound fields.
The request body of an outbound endpoint oftentimes contains a data collection or a list of records. To bind an outbound field within a list in a valueOutBinding, specify the list [] notation in the field path. Example:
start learning
"valueOutBinding": "outboundEndpointName. listName[]. fieldPath
Example of valueOutBounding in Widget
start learning
{"type": "text", "id": "quantityText", "label": "Quantity", "valueOutBinding": "submitRequisition. requisitionLines[0]. quantity"},
Example of valueOutBounding in Widget
start learning
{"type": "text", "id": "location", "label": "Event Location", "required": "<% true %>", "value": "<% event. location %>", "valueOutBinding": "updateEvent. location"},
Example of valueOutBounding in Widget
start learning
{"type": "currency", "currencyCode": "USD", "id": "cost", "label": "Fee (USD)", "valuesOut": [{"value": "USD", "valueOutBinding": "updateEvent. cost. currency"}, {"value": "<%self. value%>", "valueOutBinding": "updateEvent. cost. value"} ]}
