Databricks launches Beta Workday Data Connect federation connector for Unity Catalog
Overview
Databricks has released a public Beta of a Workday Data Connect federation connector for Unity Catalog, letting teams query Workday HR and finance data in place without copying it.
Workday administrators share approved tables through Workday Data Cloud, and Databricks administrators create an OAuth connection and foreign catalog to govern access. The data is read-only, and Workday remains the system of record.
Use requires a Unity Catalog enabled workspace and Databricks compute on Databricks Runtime 19 or above. A workspace admin must enable the connector from the Previews page, and customers must contact their Databricks account team to join the Beta, according to Databricks' blog announcement. Databricks says teams can combine the data with other enterprise data for analytics and AI, including Genie-powered natural-language exploration.
