Concept: Encoding Steps

Encoding steps enable you to encode, decode, compress, and decompress the contents of the

MediationContext

.

Workday Studio provides these

Encoding

steps on the

Palette

:

Name	Function	Notes
pgp-encrypt	Retrieves a public key and encrypts outbound data using PGP.	To encrypt messages using keys stored in Workday, configure a delivery service for your integration. Studio integrations don't have access to keys stored in Workday. You can also reference a local PGP key using the file:// protocol, then deploy it with the integration. However, the delivery service method is best practice for Studio integrations.
pgp-decrypt	Retrieves a private key and decrypts inbound data that was encrypted using PGP.
base64-decode	Decodes a Base64 encoding of attachment data to binary format.
base64-encode	Encodes binary attachment data in Base64-encoding format.
zip	Transforms the root part and attachments from the MediationContext into a ZIP file.
unzip	Extracts the contents of a ZIP file.	If the ZIP contains more than 1 file, a multipart structure like the mediation message is preferred. Example: if you use the default output option of message , the first file in the ZIP becomes the root part and the other files in the ZIP become attachments.
compress	Transforms a single file in the MediationContext to a GZIP or BZIP2 file.	Unlike the ZIP step, this step doesn't support file archiving. Use it to compress single files.
decompress	Extracts the contents of a single GZIP or BZIP2 file.
