Maintaining the Trended Workers RDS

You can use these reports and tasks to create or manage trended data in your tenant:
Reports or Tasks
Considerations
Create Worker Trending Data
You can create trended data and run the task to recreate all 36 periods of data in your tenant. Because Workday processes and stores large volumes of data, consider the impacts on performance when using this task. Workday recommends you run the task during nonpeak hours whenever you make changes to configurations on the
Maintain Trended Workers
 task.
Update Worker Trending Data
You can manually synchronize your data as a background process to:
  • Capture added retroactive changes for up to 6 periods.
  • Recompute for the most recent event.
Workday runs this task weekly for nonproduction tenants (Implementation and Sandbox), and either nightly or every Monday for production tenants depending on your retroactive period selection. You can view the
Recent Run History
 on the
Status
 tab on the
Maintain Trended Workers
 task.
If you manually synchronize your data as a background process to recompute for the most recent event, Workday recommends you run the task during nonpeak hours.
Maintain Trended Workers
You can update configuration settings for your trended data.
On the
Status
 tab, Workday displays the recent run history for trended jobs. You can drill down on values on the
Additional Fields Executed
 column to view indexing times for report fields added to your
Trended Workers
 RDS.
Fix Worker Trending Data
You can fix corrupted indexed data and resynchronize the RDS with the reports in your tenant.
Workday runs this task periodically to reload your data.
Purge Worker Trending Data
You can delete or disable the ongoing collection of all worker trended data. Run this task before changing the settings on the
Configuration
 tab on the
Maintain Trended Workers
 task.
Example: To switch the trending period from calendar month to fiscal period:
  1. Purge the data using the
    Purge Worker Trending Data
     task.
  2. Change the configuration settings using the
    Maintain Trended Workers
     task.
  3. Create the data again using the
    Create Worker Trending Data
     task.
