Compare Tenant Configuration Data

Compare Tenant Configuration Data

Set up security for and access to the Tenant Compare implemenation tool. See Steps: Set Up Tenant Compare Security and Access.
You can compare instances of implementation types between 2 tenants and save the comparisons as Tenant Compare reports. You can select a specific implementation type or select from a broader range such as tenant-wide or a particular implementation type or area.
The
Create Tenant Compare Report
 task identifies matching instances between tenants for each implementation type you select. By default, it checks both the Reference IDs and the attributes of each instance to determine a match.
When you access the report from Customer Central, you select a source and target tenant to compare from among the tenants you have configured for access to Customer Central. Workday also makes a
Run Tenant Compare
 button available in the report, enabling you access the
Create Tenant Compare Report
 task from:
  • The
    Object Transporter Post-Migration Report
     page as you complete a migration.
  • The
    Object Transporter Migration Reports (OX)
     report in Customer Central.
  1. Sign in to the Customer Central tenant using your Customer Central account.
    If you're finishing a migration in the Object Transporter workflow, you're already logged in to Customer Central.
  2. Access the
    Create Tenant Compare Report
     task.
    I f you're finishing a migration in the Object Transporter workflow, click
    Run Tenant Compare
     on the Post-Migration Report page.
  3. (Optional) Edit the report name.
    Select this name later to view the report.
  4. Select a source and target tenant.
    Workday lists tenants that are configured to access Customer Central.
  5. To assess matches using only Reference IDs, clear the
    Generate Full Comparison
     check box in the report.
  6. (Optional) To filter information from inclusion in the report, select tags on the
    XML Tags to Exclude
     prompt.
    You can exclude these tags:
    • WID
    • Effective_Date
    • Usage
    • Last_Modified
    When you exclude a
    WID
     tag, Workday excludes Workday IDs and these ID types:
    • WD-I
    • WD-ID
    • WD-WlD
  7. Select 1 or more implementation types or groupings of implementation types:
    Option Description
    Entire Tenant
    Displays all migratable implementation types from source and target tenants. You can’t change your selection.
    By Implementation Area(s)
    Select 1 or more of the migratable implementation types from source and target tenants by product area.
    By Implementation Type(s)
    Select 1 or more of the migratable implementation types from the source and target tenants.
    Each implementation type contains instances that are the same type of object. Example: The Business Process Definitions implementation type contains only instances that are objects of business process definition type.
