During data loading, what happens in the case of a "Soft Failure"?

In the context of data loading within Workday, a "Soft Failure" occurs when the process encounters certain errors that don't prevent the overall loading from continuing. Instead of stopping entirely, the process logs these errors, allowing implementers or administrators to review them later. This approach is beneficial because it allows for a partial success of the data load, ensuring that any non-critical issues can be addressed after the main process has completed.

This method of handling errors is crucial for maintaining workflow efficiency, especially in large data migrations where stopping the entire process due to minor errors would be counterproductive. The logged errors can then be analyzed to determine the necessary corrections without interrupting the overall loading activities. This enables teams to manage data loads more effectively, optimizing both time and resources while ensuring data integrity.
