Connector
iCIMS
Last updated:
Visier can retrieve data through this connector if the following requirements are met.
For more information about the data that is retrieved through this connector, see Connector Definitions.
Prerequisites
Purchase the Legacy Streaming API through iCIMS. For more information, see Visier iCIMS Data Connectors Integration.
Request that iCIMS enable the Legacy Data Stream.
Create an integration user in iCIMS for the Legacy Streaming API.
Integration user
Create an integration user in your source system and assign it the appropriate security access so that Visier can retrieve your source data through this user.
Your iCIMS technical resources can help you set up the Legacy Streaming API user and assign the security access.
Access | Description |
|---|---|
Read only access to all required and custom data fields | This allows the integration user to retrieve data to bring into Visier. |

Data stream | This allows the integration user to retrieve data to bring into Visier. |
Connector credentials
You need to provide the following credentials to Visier so that we can retrieve data from your source system.

Password | The integration user’s password. | Password1234 |
Data files
To use Visier’s iCIMS data connector, the following flat files are required:
iCIMS Field Usage Report
Requisition Process Map
Applicant Process Map
For historical Requisition data, an additional flat file is required:
iCIMS Requisition History
The iCIMS data connector retrieves Requisition, Applicant, and Candidate data for use in Visier.
For other data, you must provide that data through alternative methods such as SFTP or Visier’s other data connectors.
How the connector loads data
Initially, data connectors retrieve a full history for each subject to generate an initial history of events. In each subsequent data retrieval, each connector handles the data load differently.
Full load: All data from the source system is loaded into Visier.
Delta load: Only changed data is loaded into Visier. A delta load may take either the entire history or a specific number of years of history for each changed record.
Snapshot load: All data at a particular point in time. A snapshot load does not contain historical records or show changes over time.
Partial load: A subset of data is loaded into Visier.
After the initial load, this connector only retrieves data for changed records.
For changed records, the connector retrieves seven days of history. To retrieve the record’s full history, contact iCIMS for a flat file.
