How do I add jobs to an organizational set with the Kronos XML API?

Question

I want to use the Kronos Workforce Central XML API to add a job to an organizational set.

According to the WFC v6.3 Timekeeping Developer's Toolkit Guide , I should be able to add jobs by using Action="UpdateEntryList" with the <OrgSet> , and <OrgSetEntry> with AddEntries .

<Kronos_WFC version="1.0">
    <Request Action="UpdateEntryList">
        <OrgSet OrgSetName="ORG SET NAME">
            <EntryList>
                <OrgSetEntry
                  EffectiveDate="02/09/2018"
                  AddEntries="ROOT/BU/DIVISION/SERVICE LINE/DEPT/JOB"/>
            </EntryList>
        </OrgSet>
    </Request>
</Kronos_WFC>

However, the server returns an error stating that AddEntries can't be used with UpdateEntryList .

<Kronos_WFC version="1.0" WFCVersion="6.3.13.362" TimeStamp="2/09/2018 2:11PM GMT-05:00">
    <Response Status="Failure" Action="UpdateEntryList">
        <Error Message="WFP-01133 A property contains a value, no value is allowed for
          that property for the action - Property: AddEntries, Action: UpdateEntryList."
          ErrorCode="1223" ActionName="UpdateEntryList" PropertyName="AddEntries"/>
    </Response>
</Kronos_WFC>

How can I add a job to an organizational set with the Kronos Workforce Central XML API?

Answer 1

To add a job to an <OrgSet> with UpdateEntryList , specify the job's path in the Name attribute.

<Kronos_WFC version="1.0">
    <Request Action="UpdateEntryList">
        <OrgSet OrgSetName="ORG SET NAME">
            <EntryList>
                <OrgSetEntry
                  EffectiveDate="02/09/2018"
                  Name="ROOT/BU/DIVISION/SERVICE LINE/DEPT/JOB"/>
            </EntryList>
        </OrgSet>
    </Request>
</Kronos_WFC>

If you want to add more than one job, you can either use multiple <OrgSetEntry> tags, or use name as a semicolon-delimited list of full pathnames for jobs. ( Name="path1;path2;path3" )
