Pipeline Task Scheduling

Pipeline Task Scheduling

Preview Date: 2025-08-16. Production Date: 2025-09-20.
Workday now enables you to create and manage schedules to automatically run Cloud Data Connect pipeline integration tasks. From a pipeline task page, you can create multiple schedules, view run histories, and initiate tasks manually.

Business Benefits

This enhancement enables you to automate your pipeline tasks, reducing the need for manual intervention. Scheduling tasks ensures timely data integration and improves operational efficiency.

Changes

When you select a pipeline task, the task page now includes two new tabs:
Info & Schedules
 and
Recent Runs
.
On the
Info & Schedules
 tab, you can:
  • View the pipeline name, data source, and planning destination.
  • Create up to 5 schedules for the task. You can define a name, frequency (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly), time, and time zone, and set the schedule status to Active or Inactive.
  • Manage existing schedules to
    Edit
    ,
    Pause
    , or
    Delete
    a schedule.
  • Initiate a run manually.
On the
Recent Runs
 tab, you can:
  • View the history of previous task runs, including parameters like period range and version.
  • Initiate a run manually.

What Do I Need to Do?

Pipeline task scheduling feature is automatically available. No action is required.
To use pipeline task scheduling feature:
  1. Navigate to an existing pipeline task. The page opens to the
    Info & Schedules
     tab by default.
  2. Click
    Add Schedule
    .
  3. Define the name, frequency, time, and status for the schedule to run automatically.

What Happens if I do Nothing?

If you do nothing, the new tabs:
Info & Schedules
 and
Recent Runs
 will appear on the pipeline task page, but Workday won't create any schedules. You must continue to run your pipeline tasks manually and won't gain the benefit of automation.
