This scenario addresses an issue where a Core Connector: Worker integration — with DIS enabled and Full-Diff mode configured — unexpectedly includes terminated workers in the output, despite a requirement to include only active workers.
The correct step to address this issue is the configuration of Integration Population Eligibility.
From the Workday Pro: Integrations – Core Connector Configuration Guide, the relevant extract states:
“The Integration Population Eligibility step allows users to define which workers or populations are eligible to be included in the integration output. This includes filtering by worker status, organization, supervisory org, or other eligibility criteria. If this is not configured to exclude terminated workers, the integration will include all workers who meet the event conditions, regardless of their current status.”
Even though the integration uses change detection and the correct launch parameters, Workday still considers any worker with a qualifying change, including those terminated, unless they are explicitly excluded via eligibility rules.
Therefore, to prevent terminated workers from appearing in the output, you must set a filter in the Integration Population Eligibility step to include only active workers (e.g., using Worker.Status = Active or similar criteria).
Incorrect Options Explained:
A. Configure Integration Attributes... Include Inactive Workers in Full FileThis option would cause inactive (e.g., terminated) workers to be included when enabled. It doesn’t help filter them out.
B. Configure Integration Transaction Log... subscribe to everything except terminationSubscription controls which events trigger processing but does not control population eligibility. Terminated workers with address changes prior to termination could still appear if eligibility is not defined.
D. Configure Integration Field Overrides... use Eligibility CriterionField Overrides change data mappings or formats, not population eligibility. It cannot exclude terminated workers.
