Access an Encrypted National ID
Some countries require that you store their National ID in an encrypted state. Workday
complies with encryption requirements by storing data on disk.
When you need an encrypted National ID, Workday can retrieve it and temporarily
decrypt the data in an in-memory data cache. You can access the data for a single
use and then Workday removes the data from memory.
- Access theSchedule National ID Migrationtask to configure a job to migrate a National ID from a cached to an uncached data state or from an uncached to a cached data state.This job creates a copy of an existing National ID. It also purges and deletes the old National ID instance. As a result, the audit history associated with the National ID no longer exists and can't be restored. Following the migration, you can't search for an uncached National ID by value in Workday. This might impact your integrations. Because of this, we recommend that you run theSchedule National ID Migrationtask in a sandbox tenant to determine the impact before you run it in a production tenant.
- Use theUncached National ID Instancereport field to display data about uncached National IDs.
Your decrypted National ID data complies with regulatory requirements, but you can't search
for it in Workday by value.
