  2. Poll Tab

Poll Tab

The Poll processing step defines the connectivity information required to contact the Taleo environment.

Endpoint Source

Endpoint information can originate from the default configuration board file, the configuration file board tab, or from the current step.

Endpoint

The Endpoint section provides the actual connectivity information for the Taleo environment:

  • Protocol: HTTP or HTTPS

  • Host: Alias or IP address

  • Port: Number

The communication path can be provided by the full Path directly or by a combination of the service dispatcher Path and Service Name. The complete web service path can also be provided.

Authentication

The Authentication section provides the authentication context for the requests.

  • No authentication: No authentication is listed as an option for testing purposes.

  • Basic Authentication: This is the minimal requirement to connect to the Taleo environment.

  • Cert Based Authentication: This is used to sign the requests and responses between TCC and Taleo. This is in addition to basic authentication.

For both types of authentication, the user must provide the following information:

  • User: The user name for integration must be created with an integrator role.

  • Password: The integration user password.

Quality

The Quality section determines how communication failures are handled within the workflow execution.

Retry determines what action is taken when a particular processing operation fails. This option is mandatory for the poll step. An integration process will very rarely complete on the first polling attempt.

  • Interval determines the number of seconds between each try.

  • Acknowledgement Attempts is a deprecated option only kept for backwards compatibility reasons and should not be used.

  • Completion attempts is the number of times the zone will be polled for the result file before halting the workflow and generating an error message. The completion attempt counter automatically resets when the zone processed record count changes.

  • Ignore errors determines if retries are attempted even if an error has occurred. This setting only applies to polling errors and not document errors.

The workflow will stop when the following document states are encountered: Interrupted, Suspended, or Error.

Socket time-out determines how much time a particular processing operation will wait for a response. This is a highly technical setting and only needs to be modified in particular cases where connectivity issues occur with the Taleo environment.
