Creating & Launching an EIB Integration The Enterprise Interface Builder is used to create, configure and launch simple interface background processes.

There are 4 steps in creating, configuring and launching an enterprise interface (please note that these screenshots are just an introduction, and not an activity; the activity follows in a few pages):

• Create EIB: Search for the Create EIB task. Specify Inbound or Outbound, and then continue to the Configuration Wizard to specify the values for the 3-step pattern.
  
  
  

• Configure Integration System: After giving it a name, configure your EIB 3-step pattern by specifying a data source, an optional transformation, and a transport protocol.
  
  

• Launch Integration System: Navigation to the Launch task is through the Integration System related action icon and choosing Integration > Launch / Schedule.
• When an Integration System is launched any required prompts related to a custom report must be populated.
  
  
  

• View Background Process Event: Once you launch the Enterprise Interface you will be transferred directly to the View Background Process page.
• Click the Refresh button on this page until you see the Status change from Processing:
  
  

• If there are no errors, the Status will change to Completed, and the Output Files tab will contain the output file (if Workday attachment was the configured Transport Protocol):
  
  

• At a later time, to return to this page, search for Process Monitor (run it, and click the link in the Request column) or for Integration Events (run it, and click the link in the Integration Event column.)
