Replicate WorkAssignment and include changes to the Direct Supervisor

robert-canham

We built replication sets out of GHR to get data into an in-house identity database for security purposes.  We have since discovered that changes to the manager of an employee don't trigger the replication set to send the WorkAssignment record.  I'm hoping that someone has an idea on how I can get that to trigger.

Our replication set contains the field "DirectSupervisor.first ActiveAssignmentIsSupervisorWorkAssignment.Employee" to send across the employee number assigned to the supervisor code.  This is what would update when a new manager takes over.

I have tried creating a snapshot on the Supervisor business class of the first ActiveAssignmentIsSupervisorWorkAssignment.Employee however it doesn't update when the assigned supervisor changes.

I also tried creating a snapshot on WorkAssignment for DirectSupervisorEmployee (a derived field that returns the employee number of the supervisor) but that also doesn't update when I change the assigned supervisor.

Hoping someone has done this or has an idea for me to try.

Robert,

Have you pursued the Related Replicates?

i.e. 

Use the Related Replicates tab to add related records. If the related record has changed, the business class record will replicate also even if it has not changed. (You can use this tab only if you selected Current Data in the Data To Extract field.)

I believe the relation you would use in the Related Replicates is as follows which is the relationship to the work assignment for the supervisor.

DirectSupervisor.first ActiveAssignmentIsSupervisorWorkAssignment
