Understanding common lookups in oracle hcm.

04-Oct-2021 02:33:00 / by Nilesh Pawar

The HR department has to maintain personal, legislation-specific, and organization-related data for all employees in their HR applications. It is crucial to properly manage and store this data as it will be used for reporting. Furthermore, this data will also be used by other applications like payroll and outbound interfaces.

Oracle HCM Cloud   offers all such data fields and their values out of the box, which helps customers adhere to the legislative rules and properly maintain the data. Oracle offers its customers the flexibility to manage values for these data fields by using the functionality of lookups.

Lookups hold a list of values that appear for various fields within an application.

There are three categories of lookups:

1. Standard lookups

2. Common lookups

3. Set-enabled lookups

What are the Common Lookups in Oracle HCM?

Here are some essential details about common lookups.

Common lookups are predefined lookups that allow users to add new values or enable/disable existing values. These are generally maintained by admin users.

To enter a value for the fields within the application, a user can select any one of the values from the available list. There are predefined lookup types available for various fields in the application.

For example, 'Assignment Category' is one of the fields on the employee's assignment screen that contains a list of values. The list of values that appear for this field comes from lookup. The lookup type for this is 'EMP_CAT'.

Duplicate lookup codes are not allowed in the lookup type.

Lookup Customization

Oracle Fusion contains certain predefined lookups that you cannot disable values for or add new values to. However, there are a few lookups that allow you to disable values and also add some new values. So, it all depends on the lookup configuration level, as it helps you check what level of customization is possible for a lookup type.

There are three different types of common lookups available in Oracle Fusion that decide the customization for the lookup:

1. User lookup   – This is a flexible type of lookup; you can add new values and enable/disable the existing values to it.

2. Extensible lookup   – In this type of lookup, you can add new values but cannot disable the existing values.

3. System lookup   – System lookup does not allow you to add or disable the existing values.

Lookup Type and Its Components

Lookup Type   – Here, you can add values to the lookup. Note that this field name will appear on the setup screen and not on the application screen, where users usually make an entry into the application.

Meaning   – This is the name of the field that users will see on the screen, where they will add the value.

Module   – This is the name of the module to which this lookup belongs. It might be named as HR or Absence.

Lookup Configuration level   – As explained in the above section, lookup configuration has three values:

We can add values, known as lookup codes, in each lookup type.

The lookup codes consist of:

Lookup Code   – This signifies the value of each code that we have added. It is not visible to the users but it is used to uniquely identify values added to the lookup type.

Display Sequence   – This is used to mention the sequence of values they should appear in, for the users to select. It can be 1, 2, 3, etc.

Enabled   – The Checkbox helps you to enable or disable any particular lookup code.

Start Date and End Date   – You can specify a date range for each lookup code to make it available only within that range for users to select. If this is left blank, then it is always available for users.

Meaning   – This term will appear in the list of values on the UI for a specific field, which the user can see and select from the drop-down menu. It is associated with the lookup code.

Tag   – Tag is used for localizing the lookup code. For example, if we put +GB as Tag then this value will appear only for Great Britain localization; and if we put –GB, then it will not appear for Great Britain. If we leave this blank, it will appear for all areas.

You can create a new lookup type or enable/disable values by using the task under Setup and Maintenance -> Manage Common Lookups

Here is an example for lookup type 'EMP_CAT':

Business Case

If any customer based in GB wants to enable the 'Transgender' value for 'Gender', which is already present in the lookup type, they can navigate to the Manage Common lookups task. Since the lookup type for Gender is 'Sex', select the value 'Transgender' in the lookup codes section, and in the tag column enter '+GB'. Click on Save and Close.

To get all the details of lookups in the application, simply use the below query:

Select * from hcm_lookups;

So, this is how common lookups in Oracle HCM capture information for employees and provide the flexibility to manage value in these data fields.

Mapping of fields on Application pages to Lookup Codes

• Post category: Others
• Post comments: 0 Comments
• Post last modified: January 22, 2021
• Reading time: 7 mins read

In this article we will look into the most frequently used lookup codes for the application pages that are used every day in and day out.

Want to learn Fusion Technical tools?  Checkout the article

When we navigate the Fusion pages, we see drop down lists for most of the fields having text drop down values. However when we query the underlying base tables, we see some code in that field and we don’t have any clue on which code maps to which drop down list value. I have listed down the list of lookup types and the corresponding field names in Fusion to the extent that I am aware of across modules. 

Tip: In most of the cases there is no relation between the lookup code name and the attribute name. Refer this list when you have a requirement to check the lookup code.

Manage lookups in oracle fusion hcm.

The following video illustrates the following examples ABC Corporation would like to document the Marital Type as Divorcee for Great Britain. (MAR_STATUS) ABC Corporation would like to record Social Security Number for the employees in the US (Lookup Type: PER_NATIONAL_IDENTIFIER_TYPE)

Define Lookups

Lookups are containers for the list items that appear in an application. Users select one of the items from such lists to enter a value on the application UI. Lookups consist of: 1. Lookup Type - A lookup type is a static list of values users use to make entries in the application. This is the name of the field that appears on the setup UI and not on the application UI where you make the selection. 2. Lookup Code - An internal application code for each lookup that is not visible to users. 3. Meaning - The actual UI term associated with the lookup code. It is the item that appears in the list on the application UI against the specific field name, and can be selected by the users to indicate their choice. 4. Tag - The description or a label associated with that lookup. 5. Enabled (status) - Determines the availability of the meaning (the value or the item) within the selection list for that lookup type. If you do not enable it, the value does not appear in the selection list at runtime.

There are three different categories of lookups: 1. Standard Lookups - These are the simplest form of lookup types consisting of lookup codes and their meanings. 2. Common Lookups - These are predefined lookups and are available for internal system administrative use and are used by more than one application. 3. Set-enabled Lookups - These lookups contain lookup codes that are part of a reference data. You can use sets to enable different values in that lookup for different sets of users. At runtime, a selected attribute determines which set-enabled lookup will be visible to the users. For example, the attribute east-coast or west-coast in the determinant 'location' determines whether it is the 'east-coast' or the 'west-coast' location, depending upon the selected lookup. Lookup codes and their meanings are valid between a specified date range. If a date range is not specified, the lookup codes and meanings have indefinite validity from the time they are created. Enabling Lookups You can create new lookup types and also add new lookup codes and meanings to the existing lookup types, depending upon the access permissions granted to you. But for the lookups and lookup values to appear as values in the lists, they need to be enabled. To enable a lookup type, you need to enable at least one of its lookup codes and that code must be in a valid date range. You can access this task from the Setup and Maintenance menu. Customizing Lookups Oracle applications contain certain predefined system lookups that are locked for editing. You can only customize the lookups that are left open for extensibility. Even if a lookup is available for customization, the customization levels may vary depending upon the access restrictions. For example, you may modify the meanings of certain predefined lookup codes but may not have the permission to create new lookup codes. Person Information Lookups Person information lookups are described in the following table.

Column Definitions:

Report = New or modified, Oracle-delivered, ready to run reports.

UI or Process-Based: Small Scale = These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.

UI or Process-Based: Larger Scale* = These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.

Features Delivered Disabled = Action is needed BEFORE these features can be used by END USERS. These features are delivered disabled and you choose if and when to enable them. For example, a) new or expanded BI subject areas need to first be incorporated into reports, b) Integration is required to utilize new web services, or c) features must be assigned to user roles before they can be accessed.

Global Human Resources

Oracle Global Human Resources enables your organization to plan, manage and optimize all workforce segments using flexible and extensible best practices to realize extraordinary gains while insuring compliance and increasing total workforce engagement.

We have enhanced V3 seniority dates by including the Assignment Category attribute in HCM Data Loader. You can now adjust the assignment category-based seniority while loading V3 seniority dates using HCM Data Loader.

May Maintenance Pack for 22B

Getting things done in any organization requires establishing and maintaining relationships across functions and departments. When assigned to a new department, project, or position, your workers can find information in order to create relationships quickly.

Connections enables worker relationships, experiences, and engagement by helping colleagues find each other and better collaborate.

With Connections, you can:

• Use Oracle Search to quickly and easily search for people and filter results
• View a coworkers public profile information such as work location time zone in order to best schedule meetings
• See people’s assignments, interests, and expertise to discover what you have in common with them
• View their organization chart to understand coworkers’ roles and how they relate within their organization structure
• View or provide feedback for other workers

Connections leverages state of the art, consumer grade usability features such as animation to provide the experience workers have come to expect. Also, Connections leverages industry standard REST services.

Connections utilizes Oracle Search, a powerful new search engine in HCM Cloud that delivers a faster search across large volumes of data and returns highly relevant results for an enhanced search experience.

As you type your search criteria, you can see an auto suggested list of results that you can select from to open a person's profile.

Autosuggest List of Results

If you don't select from the autosuggested list of results and instead press Enter, the application performs a search.

A fuzzy search is performed so that people's names that closely match your search criteria are returned with the best matches at the top of the search results. That means that if you search for a name like 'Anderson', even people with similar names such as 'Andersen' are returned in the search results.

You are able to search using the following field names from a person: Person Display Name, Person Order Name, Work Email, Work Phone, Business Title, Department Name, Job Name, Position Name, Assignment Location Name, Assignment Location Country, Assignment Location State, Assignment Location City, Assignment Location County, Assignment Location Province, Areas of Interest, Areas of Expertise, and Tags. The primary search is done on people's names while the other fields are secondary.

The initial results from the search may be limited to only a handful of matches, however all the user has to do is select the plus icon box to receive more matching people in the search results. For example, if you search on a common employee name and receive many search results, select the plus sign in the person card to show all employees.

Show All Employees

In addition, a set of filters is available to target your person search and select multiple values across categories to refine your list of person results. These filters include a count of the number of results for each filter value. The top 10 values are displayed but you can search for values beyond the top 10 and filter the results based on them. The available filters include: Country, City, Tags, Title, Location, Job, Department, and Position. Filters are enabled by the user by selecting the filter icon next to the search box.

Search Results with Filters

When you select a person from the search results, the profile opens using visually engaging animation, like an unfolding multi-panel brochure.

Connections Profile

All of the information displayed on the profile is considered public information, except for the What Others Think which is displayed based on who is selected to be able to view the feedback. You are able to see:

• Header: Contact information, such as business title, work location, work phone, as well as including popular social applications such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Slack, and Zoom.
• Organization: Information such as a mini manager hierarchy, either single or multiple managers, administrative assistants, number of reports, job, department, business unit, and (Areas of Responsibility) representatives.
• About Me: Employees can enter an introduction to describe who they are and what they do. They can also describe their areas of interest and areas of expertise so that others can understand more about them. They can use Tags to indicate area of work, interest, expertise, or anything that represents the person. Tags are useful to add as they can be searched on.
• Skills and Development: This panel will be used by customers who have purchased and implemented Dynamic Skills. For additional information, refer to the product documentation.
• Experience: Enterprise service history of the worker based on the workers Enterprise Seniority Date and favorite links shared by that employee.
• What Others Think:  View feedback you have received and provide feedback for other workers.

When a worker opens their own profile for the first time, they are presented with a dialog asking if they would like to update the About Me section of their profile.

If a worker adds a summary, it gives their coworkers context and insights as to their responsibilities and background. If that worker also adds areas of experience, interests and tags, this augments the worker’s profile and gives your workers more criteria to search and refine the results. This provides a more robust search experience and improves connections.

A worker can select 'Don't show again' so that the dialog doesn't display each time that they open their profile.

Tell Us More About Yourself Dialog

From the profile contact information panel you can click the copy to clipboard icon next to the phone numbers and email addresses. Once the information is copied to the clipboard, you can paste the information into a soft phone, address book, or email application.

Copy to Clipboard Icon

Search is always available from any profile, so that you can search for the next person or department while in a person's profile.

The organization chart provides a dynamic view depending on whose assignment you select. Navigation up and down the organization chart is achieved by selecting the manager above or direct report below the selected person assignment. The selected assignment either up or down the org chart becomes the new focus and is displayed as the largest box. Then, select the focused assignment to access that worker’s profile.

Manager Organization Chart

The Organization chart is available from the profile and it is comprised of a number of views:

• Directs: lists direct reports of the selected person's assignment and it includes direct reports and dotted line reports. You can select a direct report to move down the hierarchy, or click the manager to move up the hierarchy.
• All Reports: lists all workers, contingent workers and nonworkers who report up through the selected person either in a line manager relationship or a dotted line or matrix relationship. You can view the groups of persons by their worker type (employee, contingent or nonworker). Select anyone’s assignment to make them the new focus of the organization chart.
• Departments: lists all departments that everyone in All Reports belong to. Selecting a department lists the workers in that department who report to the selected person. You can return to the selected person assignment by selecting their name above the department.
• Locations: lists all work locations that everyone in All Reports belong to. You can view workers at that location who report to the selected person by clicking the location and then return to that selected person assignment by clicking their name above the location.

While viewing the manager hierarchy, you can search for the next person by using the search box on the top of the page above the hierarchy diagram.

This feature enhances your workers' user experience with the new and compelling functionality that leverages the latest design components and animation. Search and connect with people using the new Oracle Search engine.  Provide information about yourself so coworkers better understand what you do, your expertise, and interests. Provide feedback to the people you work with to appreciate and encourage them. Quickly explore and navigate your organization's hierarchy while viewing more details about the organization. List the persons in a single location thus providing targeted Connections.

Prerequisites

Unified Sandboxes

Unified sandboxes must be enabled for Connections. Here is how to enable them: Configuring and Extending Application - Sandboxes

You can improve productivity and save time by having additional data entry validations for fields in the When and Why section of the Create Job Offer and Edit Job Offer flows.

For example, you can author an autocomplete rule to default the proposed start date in the Create Job Offer flow.

These are the newly added attributes:

Proposed Action ID

Proposed Action Type

Proposed Worker Type

Proposed Start Date

Legal Entity ID (Proposed Legal Entity ID)

Additionally, the following view accessor is also added:

Get Requisition

Here are a few examples of authoring autocomplete rules to validate and default attributes in offer flows:

Example 1: You can author a rule to validate if a candidate’s job offer date is on the 1st or 16th of the month.

Autocomplete Rule to Validate Effective Date on 1st or 16th of the Month

Example 2: You can author a rule to validate that only certain actions types (Add Pending Worker, Add Pending Work Relationship, Transfer, and Global Transfer) are allowed to be selected as proposed actions while creating a job offer in Oracle Recruiting.

Autocomplete Rule to Validate that Only Certain Action Types are Allowed

Example 3: You can author a rule to default values for the Create Offer flow using the EMP_Groovy_OfferMode HCM Params.

We have made it easy for you to create document records by giving you the ability to prefill document record flexfield attributes by scanning them from an attachment. For example, you can scan the flexfield attributes that you want from an attachment and prefill them in the Document Details page without having to manually enter the values. This ensures greater data accuracy and less scope for errors. If the fields are made read-only, authenticity of the data is also ensured.

You can scan flexfield attributes which have value sets of validation type FORMAT ONLY, TABLE, INDEPENDENT and SUBSET from an attachment and prefill them in the Document Details page without having to manually enter the values.

NOTE: This feature is a continuation of the earlier release 22A feature: Prefill Document Record Attributes by Scanning an Attachment

Use the Add from Attachment Feature to Upload the Document to be Scanned

Select the Document Type and Click on Extract Data

Select the Document Record Field and Select the Corresponding Value from the Attachment

Review List of Extracted Content from Attachment to Map to Document Record Attributes

Extracted Content Mapped to Document Record Attributes

You can improve authenticity of the data by having users scan the values instead of manually entering the values. Additionally, you can save time by not having to manually type the values for the document record fields.

By default, the profile option is set to Yes which means that the Add (Add from Attachment) action is enabled on the Document Records page. To disable the action, you must set the profile option to No.

To change the default profile option value and disable the action, follow these steps:

• Navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area.
• Search for and click the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.

Search for the ORA_PER_DOR_ATTACHMENT_SCAN profile option code and select the profile option in the search results.

In the Profile Values area, enter No in the Profile Value field.

The following file formats are supported currently for the document attachment you upload for scanning: PDF, PPT or PPTX, DOC or DOCX, TXT, and XLS or XLSX.

If you add more than one attachment for scanning, then the extract data process will consider only the most recent attachment.

Password protected documents can't be used to prefill document record attributes.

Any customization you make in the create document record page to mark field as read only will not impact the defaulting of the scanned value. The value you selected for the document record field during the scan will be mapped and visible in the create page for the read only field.

While editing a document record, you can't prefill document record attributes from an attachment.

If you select the Issuing Country field, you need to select the corresponding country name (for example, United States), and not the country code (for example, US) from the attachment.

For more information about document records, refer to these resources on the Oracle Help Center :

Document Records, Chapter Workforce Records in the Using Global Human Resources & the Implementing Global Human Resources guides

You can take advantage of the enhanced deep links in Document Records. The deep links now support passing of additional parameters to directly access application pages without additional clicks or navigation.

These are the newly added parameters:

pCategory: This parameter is added for the List mode to filter records based on the category. The document type category code is passed to the pCategory parameter. For example, LEGAL_DOC is the category code for the legal document. The parameter is valid for the following deep links:

Document Records (DOCUMENT_RECORDS_ANY,NONE)

Document Records (HR_DOCUMENT_RECORDS,NONE)

Document Records (MANAGER_DOCUMENT_RECORDS,NONE)

pDocumentsOfRecordId: This parameter is available in conjunction with the parameter pMode=VIEW, to uniquely identify the person and document record and will open the document record in view mode. If the parameter is incorrect or the logged in user doesn’t have access to the person or document record, then the List page of the logged in user is displayed showing all document records.

The following parameter conditions will apply:

If the Document Records (DOCUMENT_RECORDS_ANY,NONE) deep link is used without the Person ID or Person Number parameter, then the person ID of the logged in user will be defaulted.

If the logged in user doesn’t have an associated person record, then a blank page is displayed when the user clicks the deep link.

If the document type is passed in the deep link during Create mode and the Allow Multiple Occurrence Flag for the document type is true, then the deep link will open the create page with the passed document type.

If the document type is passed in the deep link during Create mode and the Allow Multiple Occurrence Flag for the document type is false, then the following conditions are true:

If a document record exists, the deep link will open the record in Edit mode.

If no document record exists, the deep link will open the create page with the document type populated.

Ease of navigating and accessing document record pages from external applications thereby saving time and improving user experience.

The deep links will display the responsive pages for document records.

For more information about document records, refer to the Workforce Records chapter of the following guides on topics of Document Records in the Oracle Help Center :

A new attribute is added to the document records table so that you can track the method used to create the document record. This attribute isn’t displayed on the Document Records page. Also, the attribute is auto-populated and can't be updated using HCM Data Loader or REST API.

This table shows the possible values for this attribute:

Provides traceability information by tracking the method used to create the document record.

The attribute will be available in the OTBI subject area in a future release.

You can now overwrite an existing attachment for a document record with a new attachment using HCM Data Loader.

NOTE:  The overwriting happens only if the name of the existing attachment and the new attachment is the same.

You no longer need to individually delete and upload each document record attachment thereby reducing effort and saving time.

This feature is not supported in the UI. The UI still requires you to first delete the old attachment file and then upload the new file.

For more information about document records, refer to the following chapter and guides located on the Oracle Help Center :

• Document ID 2504404.1  - Transaction Design Studio – What It Is and How It Works

Leverage the availability of a person’s assignment identifier to streamline the allocation of tasks and performers specifically for checklist and journey assignments due to the Move to HR action from Oracle Recruiting Cloud.

Availability of the assignment identifier helps to correctly determine:

• Which checklist and journey is applicable to the worker using eligibility profiles.
• Which task is applicable to the worker using eligibility profiles.
• Which manager should be assigned the task.
• Which Area of Responsibility (AoR) person should be assigned the task.

Enables you to correctly determine the performer and tasks assignment.

• The Move to HR action is applicable only if you use Oracle Recruiting Cloud.
• When configuring the eligibility profile for use in Checklist Templates, you must select Specific Assignment as Assignment to Use .

You can now use Contextual Journeys to configure tasks that need to be performed by different performers  before a HR transaction. For example, tasks that a manager needs to do before a transfer action.

Based on the contextual journey setup, when you initiate a specific HR quick action from either Me , My Team , or My Client Groups , a single contextual journey or a list of eligible contextual journeys displays. You can then start the relevant contextual journey.

To configure contextual journeys, you need to do the following:

• Create the Contextual Journey in Checklist Templates with the new category Contextual Journey .

Configure Contextual Journey in Checklist Templates

2. Associate the context, which is either Me , My Team , or My Client Groups . Specify the quick action based on which the contextual journey should display.

Associate the Contextual Journey Category to Context and the Action

3. Configure the criteria to determine which contextual journey or task should display for a quick action using available attributes. For example, a transfer journey based on the location of the worker.

Configure Criteria that Determines Which Contextual Journey to Display for a Quick Action

When you initiate a quick action that has a contextual journey configured, here’s what happens:

• If there’s only one configured contextual journey that qualifies for the quick action, the preview page with the tasks of that contextual journey appears and you can click Start This Journey . Clicking Continue Without Journey directly takes you to the respective quick action page.

Preview Page that Displays When There’s Only Contextual Journey

2. If there’s more than one contextual journey that matches the criteria defined, you are taken to the contextual journey gallery page where you can select a specific contextual journey from the options and start the journey.

Page that Displays When More Than One Contextual Journey is Available

  3. If there’s already an in-progress assigned contextual journey and other contextual journeys also exist for the selected quick action, you can either resume the in-progress journey or select a new journey.

4. If there’s no contextual journey configured for a quick action, the responsive ADF page directly opens for the quick action.

Enables you to orchestrate the different activities that need to be done as part of a business process.

You need to enable contextual journeys using the new ORA_PER_CONTEXTUAL_JOURNEYS_ENABLED profile option. Set the profile option value to Y.

 To change the default profile option value follow these steps:

• Navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area. 
• Search for and click the Manage Administrator Profile Values task. 
• Search for the ORA_PER_CONTEXTUAL_JOURNEYS_ENABLED profile option code and select the profile option in the search results.  
• In the Profile Values area, enter Y in the Profile Value field.   
• You can configure Contextual journeys only from the Checklist Templates setup page.
• You can't change the category of an existing journey to Contextual Journey. Instead, define a new contextual journey.
• The attributes available for configuring a contextual journey are different than the regular journey setup. For example, you can't configure an eligibility profile at the checklist or task level for contextual journeys.
• The attributes in the Configure Criteria section will vary for each contextual action.
• The DocuSign, I-9, and OPA task types aren’t supported in contextual journeys.
• The processing mode for contextual journeys is set to Alerts based notifications by default and BI Publisher notifications aren’t supported.
• Continue Without Journey button on the Contextual Journey Gallery page is controlled using a security privilege. See the Role section.
• Contextual journeys won't be displayed in the Explore, My Journeys, and Assigned Journeys tabs.
• The My Tasks tab in Journeys displays tasks from contextual journeys.
• The Create Journey button in Explore tab on Journeys doesn't support creation of contextual journeys.
• Only a limited set of quick actions are currently supported for configuring contextual journeys.
• It’s recommended to configure a task with the required Application Task (quick action) as a task in your journey template so that the user can perform the necessary transaction as part of the contextual journey.

For more information on contextual journeys, see Contextual and Guided Journeys (Document ID 2849296.1 ) on My Oracle Support.

This table shows the duty roles that supports this feature and the predefined roles that inherits this duty roles.

This table shows the function security privilege that supports this feature and the predefined role that inherits this privilege.

If you are using the predefined roles, no action is necessary. However, if you are using custom versions of these roles, you must add these function privileges to your custom roles to use this feature. See the Release 13 Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud Security Upgrade Guide on My Oracle Support (Document ID 2023523.1 ) for instructions about implementing new functions in existing roles.

You can now support users by providing guidance such as tutorials, company policies, and best practices, in the context of an HCM flow, using guided journey tasks.  For example, tasks to help a line manager transfer an employee. 

You can configure guided journey tasks to display at the page header or section header level for supported Transaction Design Studio (TDS) actions using TDS rules.

When employees, line managers, or HR specialists initiate an action for which a guided journey has been configured, they see a Guide Me button with the list of tasks to guide them.

To configure and use guided journeys, you need to do the following:

• Create a Guided Journey in Checklist Templates with the new category Guided Journey.

Use Guided Journey Category in Checklist Setup

2. After adding tasks in the template, you can preview the tasks that will display in the guided journey.

Preview Tasks Added to the Guided Journey

3. Leverage TDS attributes and associate the configured guided journey to a TDS action at the page header and the section header level. To determine for whom the guided journey should display, you can configure relevant attributes available for the action in TDS.

Create Rule for Guided Journey in TDS

4. Select tasks of a guided journey you want to display in the page header or section header region.

Select Tasks to Display in the Page Header Region

Select Tasks to Display in the Section Header Region

5. When the user clicks on the TDS action for which a guided journey is configured, here’s what happens:

They can view the tasks that are part of that guided journey either at the page header or section header level.

• Supported task types in a guided journey are Analytics, Document, Embedded Learning, External URL, Manual Task, Questionnaire, Report, and Video.
• Only a limited set of TDS actions are currently supported for configuring guided journeys.
• The attributes available for configuring a guided journey are different than the regular journey setup.
• A new subscriber code is available for Guided Journeys in Questionnaires to store the responses provided. 
• You can configure the rule in TDS even if the guided journey profile option is set to N.
• Guided journeys won't be displayed in the Explore, My Journeys, My Tasks, and Assigned Journeys tabs.
• It is recommended to use only one guided journey per TDS action.
• A recommended best practice when creating multiple guided journeys and adding in TDS is to follow a naming convention to help identify the guided journey. Something like this: actionName_ruleConfigParams_pageLevel or actionName_ruleConfigParams_sectionName. For example, Transfer_Employee_Page or Transfer_USManager_AssignmentDetails.

• You must be granted the Access HCM Common Components function privilege to view guided journeys on the transaction pages.

You can now trigger a journey task using the Activation Criteria attribute. You can configure this attribute for a task, such that it will be triggered or activated when the criteria is fulfilled. You can set the Activation Criteria on the Create Task page.

The activation criteria can be used in scenarios like these where you need to branch tasks based on the user’s response:

• When the user responds to a task with either Done or Not Applicable . 
• When the user responds to a specific question with a specific response in a Questionnaire task.
• When the user responds to a specific segment with a specific response in a Configurable Form task.

You need to create a formula that includes conditions for the activation criteria. The fast formula needs to be associated to an eligibility profile which then needs to be selected as the Activation Criteria attribute.

For example, say you have a task where employees need to respond with a Yes or No for their vaccination certificate. If they answer Yes, you can use the activation criteria to check for this response and trigger a dependent task where they can upload their vaccination certificate.  If they answer No, you can use the activation criteria to check and trigger a dependent task where they respond to a Wellness check questionnaire. You can achieve this by renaming the Done button to Yes and the Not Applicable button to No. You can then configure Activation Criteria for the respective dependent tasks.

Select the Appropriate Activation Criteria for the Dependent Task

User Selects Yes as Task Response

Dependent Task Activated Based on Response

Select the Appropriate Activation Criteria for the Dependent Task

User Selects No as Task Response

Ability to branch tasks in a journey based on inputs to a previous task.

NOTE : Before you begin, create a fast formula and eligibility criteria for the checklist task in Setup and Maintenance.

• The activation criteria is evaluated when the preceding task is completed. This is different from the existing task eligibility profile which is evaluated at the time of journey allocation.
• To configure branching of tasks for binary response scenarios such as, Yes or No, you can simply rename the action labels in the task and use the activation criteria to determine the next task.
• Tasks that don’t meet the activation criteria display the Dependent Eligibility Criteria failed status.
• This feature is applicable to both Journeys and Checklists.
• This feature will support branching of tasks only within the same journey.
• This feature doesn't support triggering of a different journey or a task within a different journey.

Employees can now view tasks assigned to other task performers as part of their assigned journeys in the Others' tasks section. Employees can view the tasks but can't expand or act on them.

View Tasks of Other Performers in Your Assigned Journey

This feature gives you the ability to see progress of other task performers in an assigned journey.

• By default, this section is hidden. It can be displayed by setting Others' Incomplete Tasks  display property to Show under the checklist template Display Settings tab.

Note: If you have configured Others' Incomplete Tasks section display property as Show in existing journey templates prior to 22B, then you need to reconfigure the property to Show . Additionally, you need to run the Update Assigned Journey Attributes Based on Modified Journey Template ESS process to synchronize the display property to existing assigned journeys.

For more information see the Oracle Help Center for the following guides:

We have enhanced the journey task selection LoV in the task library to display the task description so that you can find relevant tasks easily.

The task description displays in these flows:

• When you select tasks from the task library to add to an assigned journey
• When you select tasks from the task library to add when creating or editing a personal journey

Enhanced Task LoV in Create Personal Journey Page

Enhanced Task LoV in Assigned Journey Page

This feature makes it easier to find relevant tasks.

• You can't search for a task using the task description. The task description is available only for viewing.

We have made it easy to synchronize changes you make at the journey template or task setup level to assigned journeys or tasks that are in progress, using a new ESS process. You can now run the Update Assigned Journey Attributes Based on Modified Journey Template  process to synchronize the changes.

• The Update Assigned Journey Attributes Based on Modified Journey Template process synchronizes only journeys and tasks that are in progress and not in terminal status.
• It’s mandatory to provide a checklist name if you provide the task name parameter.
• The checklist name and task name parameters you select display as ID’s in the ESS Process Details dialog box.
• You can choose to update attributes in an assigned journey or task for specific persons using comma separated list of person numbers.
• If person numbers aren’t provided, the attributes will be synced across all open allocations of that journey and task.

ESS Process to Update Assigned Journey and Task Attributes Based on Modified Journey Template

Reduces effort to manually update all assigned journeys and tasks.

• This feature isn’t supported in these task types - Basic Esign, Embedded Learning, I9, OPA, Document, Questionnaire, and Configurable Form.
• If you change the task type, for example, from Manual to Video, then the changes won't be synced to an already assigned task.
• If you change the configuration of an existing Questionnaire and Configurable Form task, the change won’t be synced to an already assigned task.
• If you change the preceding task configured in a checklist, the change won't be synced.
• If you choose to sync a specific task and that task doesn’t exist in the selected checklist, the process will stop.
• The sync process won’t allocate a new task added to a template or delete an allocated task that is deleted from a checklist template.
• Allocating a new task or removing of tasks can be done using the user interface, HDL, or REST API. You can use the log files to validate the sync process.
• Users must be granted the Run Global HR Processes function privilege to run the Update Assigned Journey Attributes Based on Modified Journey Template process manually.

You can now set the expiry duration for tasks based on which they move to expired status.  The option to set task expiry is available in the Set Reminders and Expiry section of the Notification and Reminders tab only if the journey-processing mode is set to Alerts based processing . The task expires after the specified number of days from the assignment date or due date.

As part of the daily run, the Process HR Checklist and Tasks ESS process evaluates tasks for expiry and moves them to expired status. When this happens, the date of expiry displays as the task status and no further action is possible. To notify task owners and performers of an expired task you can use either a predefined alert template or a user-defined template in the Task Alert Templates section.

If expiry is based on due date and the due date is modified, the task expiry is computed again.

Configure Expiry Duration for the Task

Expired Status Displays for Task

Removes the need to manually mark a task as closed. When there are less tasks open, the overall page performance also improves.

The task expiry feature is applicable for both required and optional tasks.

We have enhanced the search in Journey pages to improve performance by displaying results based on the Starts With operator. This is controlled by the new ORA_PER_JRNY_SEARCH_STARTSWITH profile option that is set to Y by default.  

This search is available on the Explore, My Journeys, My Tasks, Assigned Journeys, and Activity pages.

Improves performance when searching for journeys, tasks, and persons.

By default, this profile option is set to Y, which means the search is based on the Starts With criteria.

• Search for the ORA_PER_JRNY_SEARCH_STARTSWITH  profile option code and select the profile option in the search results.
• In the Profile Values area, enter N  in the Profile Value field.

Utilize the Don’t copy, use source document during task setup to use the document attached in a Document task type in a contextual journey. This configuration enables you to prevent creating a copy of the document at the time of task assignment.

Currently, a copy of the document is created when the task is assigned. If you enable the Don’t copy, use source documen t option a copy of the document isn’t created at the time of task assignment thereby improving performance.

Use the Document Included in Document Task Setup

Eliminates the need to create a copy of the document and improves performance.

• This feature is applicable only for Document type tasks created in a contextual journey.

You can now use the Embedded Learning task type in a journey. Using this task type, you can embed learning items that will help a task performer in their journey. For example, learning video as part of an employee’s onboarding journey.

Currently, these are the supported learning content types you can include as part of the embedded learning task type:

This feature minimizes configuration efforts and increases efficiency.

• All seeded journey templates begin with ' Oracle -' and will be available in Draft status. 
• Seeded journeys aren't editable.
• You can duplicate a template and modify as per your business requirements.
• None of the seeded journey templates have any action or event configured.
• If you don't configure either an action or an event, this journey will not be assigned automatically. However, it will still be available for manual allocation.

We have enhanced the security in the DocuSign integration process to include OAuth authentication with a new profile option.  If the ORA_PER_CHECKLIST_USE_OAUTH_IN_DOCUSIGN profile option is enabled you now only need to enter the User ID provided by DocuSign instead of the User Name and Password that you used to enter previously in the HCM Electronic Signature Configurations page.

The User Name and Password fields don’t display if the profile option for OAuth is enabled.

After providing the User ID you have obtained from DocuSign, you need to authorize and then validate the authentication. This is a one-time activity.

NOTE : As per DocuSign, all authentication methods other than Auth 2.0 will not be supported after September 2022. Hence, it's recommended that you plan and migrate from the legacy authentication by enabling the profile options, latest by 22C.

Enter the User ID in the Electronic Signature Configuration Page

Simplifies and improves security of DocuSign integration.

If you want to use OAuth for DocuSign, set the profile option to Y. By default, this is set to N, this means legacy authentication is used.

• Search for the ORA_PER_CHECKLIST_USE_OAUTH_IN_DOCUSIGN profile option code and select the profile option in the search results.
• In the Profile Values area, enter Y in the Profile Value field.

By default, this profile option is set to Y, this means the production OAuth authentication is used in production environments. If set to N, the OAuth authentication for stage is used.

• Search for the ORA_PER_CHECKLIST_USE_PRODUCTION_OAUTH_DOCUSIGN profile option code and select the profile option in the search results.
• In the Profile Values area, enter N in the Profile Value field.

We have enhanced the Calculate Seniority Dates process so that the Total Adjustments value is computed appropriately for multiple adjustments and assignments while using the fast formula.

This change will impact the users only if they use V3 seniority dates and custom fast formulas to calculate seniority adjustments. Also, only if they have multiple assignments and seniority adjustments.

After this change, the fast formula adjustments in V3 seniority dates will be calculated in the same way for both these cases:

Single adjustment and assignment.

Multiple adjustments and assignments.

This enhancement ensures consistency in the computation of fast formula adjustments in V3 seniority dates between single adjustment and assignment, and multiple adjustments and assignments.

HR Specialists can now add document records for workers' contacts from the Family and Emergency Contacts page.

You can either drag and drop a document record or upload it from your local drive.

This feature improves the HR Specialists experience with document records where they can add document records for workers' contacts from the Family and Emergency Contacts responsive page.

• The Document Records action can't be configured from the Transaction Design Studio.
• You can upload documents for existing or terminated workers using the main Document Records page.
• If you have added a contact that is pending approval, then the Document Records action isn't available for the contact.
• If there are any pending changes to the contact's person record, then the Document Records action is available.
• If there's any security for the parent person record, it's applied to the contact record as well.
• You can create a document type security profile and apply it to the role to control the visibility of certain types of document records.
• Deleting a contact relationship doesn't delete a contact's document records.
• Security is based on the person and not the assignment. For example, a contact's document records are retrieved based on the parent person's security profile and not the assignment-level security.
• This feature doesn't impact the Benefits - People to Cover pages.
• The document types that are not assignment-based are supported for contacts.
• Employees can't enter document records for their contacts.

This table shows the privileges that support this feature and the predefined roles that inherit them.

You can now hide or display specific flexfield attributes, comments, and attachments for these responsive pages in the Transaction Design Studio.

• Add Contingent Worker
• Add a Nonworker
• Add Pending Worker
• Contact Info
• Create Work Relationship
• Edit Pending Worker
• Family and Emergency Contacts
• Hire an Employee
• Identification Info
• Local and Global Transfer
• Personal Details

Flexfield Attributes

Here's an example of how you show specific visa legislative flexfield attributes for the Identification Info action in the Transaction Design Studio.

Once enabled, the flexfield attribute is shown in the respective responsive page.

Comments and Attachments

You can now show or hide the individual Comments and Attachments fields. You can also make the Comments field mandatory for the self-service pages in the Transaction Design Studio. For example, here we are configuring the Comments and Attachments section in the Identification Info flow.

You can configure it for each section in the self-service flow.

Section-level settings apply over any other configuration settings.

This feature gives control over these areas.

• Display of the pages using Transaction Design Studio is easier to create and maintain.
• Display of the Comments or Attachments, or both fields in each specific section.
• All page and available attributes are set as Not Visible, by default.
• A professional user can see all the flexfield attributes in the personal info and add person flows due to predefined rules while they are not visible to a user with just the employee role.
• Latest changes done through either the Page Composer personalization or the Transaction Design Studio take precedence. For example, if you make a flexfield segment as not visible using Page Composer and then make it visible and required using the Transaction Design Studio, then the flex segment will be visible and required since the Transaction Design Studio change is the latest. Same precedence rules applies for Comments and Attachments.
• Flexfield segments are available in the Page Attributes section of the Transaction Design Studio. You can only set the flexfields to visible or not visible from the Available Attributes section in the Transaction Design Studio but you have to configure the individual segments from the Page Attributes section.
• Page Attributes setting always take precedence over the Available Attributes setting. Let's understand how this works using the example of passport attributes in the following table.

For self-service flows:

 For hire flows:

• Flexfield customizations are retained if there aren't any changes in the Transaction Design Studio layer that overrides the customization.
• Localization and predefined rules take precedence over flexfield modifications.
• Section-level configurations take precedence over page-level configuration in case of Comments and Attachments configuration. If there is no section-level configuration, then page-level configuration takes precedence.

You can now use approval rules simulation to test approval rules and its routing without creating any new transactions for these responsive person, area of responsibility, and share information flows.

When your approval rule configuration is incorrect, the simulation fails with the appropriate message displayed as shown below.

These are some examples of a successful approval rule configuration.

You can easily fix errors and incrementally build the approval rule conditional logic and see the impact of the change without having to recreate and submit new transactions.

• This feature doesn't apply to classic person, areas of responsibility and share information flows.
• Bypass approvals needs to be disabled to test the approval flow configuration for new transactions. However you can test the approval flow configuration for pending, draft, and failed transactions even though bypass approvals is enabled.
• You need to first submit the configured rule before testing it.
• This feature isn’t enabled for any in-flight transactions that you submitted before upgrading to release 22B.
• This feature doesn't impact existing transactions on upgrade.
• The Approvers header is hidden in BIP notifications.
• These FYI notifications are excluded from this feature: Share Information Approval FYI Notification, Share Information FYI Notification, and Share Information Reject FYI Notification.
• You can simulate approval rules for failed or are pending transactions. You can't simulate approval rules for completed transactions.

NOTE: The HCM_TEST_APPROVAL_RULES_ENABLED profile option is available, by default, and set to Y from release 22A. If you want to disable approval rule simulation, you need to set the profile value to N at the site level.

• For more information on approval rule simulation, refer the Enhancements to Approvals and Notifications feature in update 21D, Human Resources Cloud.

If you want your Human Resource Analyst user to simulate approval rules, then you need to define a custom role and assign these privileges

• PER_CONFIGURE_APPROVAL_RULES_PRIV
• PER_TEST_APPROVAL_RULES_PRIV

You can now specify the evaluation criteria for jobs and positions in the responsive job and position flows respectively.

Evaluation Criteria Section and Working Conditions Field

A new section, Evaluation Criteria is added to the responsive job and position flows. By default, this section is hidden in both; you have to enable it in the Transaction Design Studio.

You can either select the Hay System or can select a custom evaluation system.

Additionally, as part of the Hay evaluation system, Working Conditions is a new criteria that's added only in the responsive job and position flows. There is no default value for this criteria. The points you enter for Working Conditions  will be added to the Overall Score .

Specify a Default Evaluation System

You can also specify a default evaluation system for the responsive job and position flows on the Manage Enterprise HCM Information page. If you specify a default evaluation system, it applies to both, jobs and positions. However, you can change it in the respective flows.

These are the benefits of the feature:

• You can use this feature to evaluate jobs and positions based on the criteria during compensation reviews.
• Addition of the Working Conditions field will enhance your evaluation data if you use the Hay system.
• You can save time so that an evaluation system is selected, by default, on the position and job responsive pages by specifying a default evaluation system for your organization.

The Evaluation Criteria section is hidden, by default. You have to enable it for all position and job flows in the Transaction Design Studio. These are the steps to enable the section in the Position Details page.

• Click  My Client Groups > HCM Experience Design Studio .
• Select the Position Details action.
• Click Add to add a rule.
• Enter a name and description for the rule.
• In the Page Attributes section, select the Configure Save Options and Regions option.
• For the Evaluation Criteria region, select Visible .

• Select Evaluation Criteria from the Region list to ensure that the Evaluation System field is enabled in the section.

• The Evaluation Criteria section will be enabled in the Position Details page.

Similarly, to enable the Evaluation Criteria section in the Job Details page, select the Job Details action in the Transaction Design Studio.

NOTE: Please note that In the Request a New Position and Request a Position Change flows, the Evaluation Criteria section is available in the Show or Hide Regions section.

• All evaluation criteria, by default, are blank or null.
• By default, the Evaluation Date doesn't default to the start date of the job or position unlike the classic job and position pages.
• The Evaluation System is defaulted when you specify an evaluation date in the Evaluation Criteria section.
• The Evaluation Date can't be earlier than the start date of the job or position.
• An additional check box is added to the questionnaire page for the Create Job, Request a New Position and Request a Position Change flows when it's enabled in the Transaction Design Studio.
• The evaluation criteria data associated to a job or position isn't copied when a job or position is respectively duplicated.
• You can see only the Evaluation Date and the Evaluation System fields in the read-only job or position pages, if there isn't any evaluation data.
• If the Evaluation System is defaulted and the field is hidden, you have to first unhide the field and then remove the Evaluation System to delete the evaluation data.
• Any updates to evaluation data are retained in the cache until you submit the data. However, the data committed to the database is displayed on the page, irrespective of the earlier data updates.
• The Working Conditions attribute is available in approval and post approval notification data models and BIP templates.
• The Working Conditions attribute is available in HCM Data Loader (HDL), HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader (HSDL), and the predefined HSDL Job and Position templates.
• This field will be added to the OTBI subject areas in the next release.
• You can also export or import data into this field using the export and import feature in FSM.
• Audit is enabled for the Working Conditions field.
• The Default Evaluation System configuration isn’t date effective on the Manage Enterprise HCM Information page.

Introduction

The Human Capital Management Integration Specialist job role is often granted to users who are responsible for bulk-loading data into the Oracle HCM Cloud. However, this role grants access to additional tools, including HCM Extracts and all REST APIs, so it's recommended that you instead create custom roles and grant just the HCM Data Loader (HDL) functionality required.

• Integration specialist users who are responsible for defining data files, initiating bulk-loads, and monitoring existing integrations. This user type needs access to the HCM Data Loader tasks within the application.

Used by inbound integrations to upload files and initiate HCM Data Loader. These users shouldn't have access to the application or to monitor uploads other than the ones they've initiated. This tutorial explains how to grant access to the HCM Data Loader REST API for this purpose.

Business Object Access

When enabled, you can configure the individual business objects and product areas a role can bulk-load data with.

• Run HCM Data Loader to upload HCM Extracts generated files.
• Run Data Loader Process to upload files generated by transformation formulae.

To configure the HCM Extracts flow refer to the tutorial Initiate HCM Data Loader for HCM Extract Generated Files .

File Encryption

For HDL to decrypt your files you must encrypt them with the public fusion-key PGP key for the environment you're loading your file to.

The final task in this tutorial takes you through the steps to generate the fusion-key PGP certificate and extract the public key, which you'll use to encrypt your files.

In this tutorial, you will:

• Understand how to enable the HCM Data Loader security related features.
• Configure custom roles to grant access to HCM Data Loader .
• Configure business object access for your custom roles.
• Generate the fusion-key certificate and extract the public key.

Prerequisites

To complete the steps in this tutorial, you'll need:

• Access to the Security Console to create custom roles and extract the file encryption key.

Task 1: Enable Security Related Functionality

To enable these security features you'll need to log into the application with a user that has Configure HCM Data Loader task access (see Prerequisites for how to grant this.)

Enable Configuration of Role-Based Business Object Access

• Navigate to My Enterprise > Setup and Maintenance .
• Select the HCM Data Loader functional area.
• Click the Configure HCM Data Loader task.

• Search for the Enable Configuration of Role-Based Business Object Access parameter.

• Set the Override to Yes .
• Click Save .

Additionally, you'll need to provide access to the HCM Data Loader Business Object Access task to configure the business objects your roles can use HCM Data Loader with (see Prerequisites for how to grant this).

Restrict Access to Security Related Business Objects

• Access the Configure HCM Data Loader task as described above.
• Search for the Restrict Access to Security Related Business Objects parameter.

Task 2: Grant HCM Data Loader Access

In this step you'll create custom roles for accessing HCM Data Loader functionality.

Integration Specialist Access

• The View Business Objects task to review business object details and generate METADATA files.
• The Import and Load Data task to submit files for import and load and monitor status of all data sets.
• The Recent File Loads task to review recent data set status on any device.
• The Delete Stage Table Data task to maintain stage tables.
• The ability to import and export files for HCM Data Loader on the Oracle WebCenter Content server.
• Log into the application with Security Console access.
• Navigate to Tools > Security Console .
• Click Create Role .
• Specify a Role Name and provide a unique role code.
• Specify a Role Category of HCM - Job Role .
• Click Next to navigate to the Role Hierarchy page. Add these hierarchies:

• Save your changes.

You can now configure the business objects this role can load data with.

REST Access

Task 3: Configure Business Object Access

• Log into the application with a user who has access to the HCM Data Loader Business Object Access task (see Prerequisites for how to grant this).
• Click HCM Data Loader Business Object Access .
• In the Job and Abstract Roles table, search for and select your custom role.
• Click the Assign dropdown.

• Select one of the following options:
• Assign Individual Business Objects
• Assign All Business Objects in a Product Area
• Assign All Unrestricted Business Objects
• Assign All Business Objects, Including Security-Related Objects
• Search and select the business objects in the Search and Select Business Objects dialog box.
• Click Add to add the selected business objects to the role. An entry appears in the Assigned Business Objects section for each of the selected business objects.
• Select the product area in the Select Product Area dialog box.
• Click Add . A single entry appears for the product area in the Assigned Business Objects section.
• A warning message appears to indicate that users with this role can bulk-load data with any business object that doesn't load security-related data.
• Click Add to close the warning and continue. A single entry appears for all unrestricted business objects in the Assigned Business Objects section.
• A warning message appears to indicate that users with this role will be able to use the security-related objects only if they have the Load HCM Security Data function security privilege.
• Click Add to close the warning and continue. A single entry appears for all business objects in the Assigned Business Objects section.

Task 4: Create Common HCM Data Loader Custom Roles

• An Integration Specialist administrator role capable of loading data for any object and monitoring all data sets.
• An Integration Specialist role with restricted business object access.
• An external integration role restricted to loading payroll backfeed data with visibility of only the data sets they've submitted.

Integration Specialist - Unrestricted

• Use the Security Console to create a custom HCM Data Loader - Unrestricted role.
• Grant these role hierarchies:
• Save the custom role.
• Navigate to the HCM Data Loader Business Object Access task in Setup and Maintenance .
• Search for and select the HCM Data Loader - Unrestricted role.
• Click the Assign dropdown and select Assign All Business Objects, Including Security-Related Objects .
• Click Add to close the warning message.
• Save your changes. You can now assign this role to users who should be able to bulk-load data with any HCM Data Loader business object.

Integration Specialist - Restricted

• Use the Security Console to create a custom HCM Data Loader - {objects} role, replacing {objects} with a description of the business objects the role will have access to use, such as HCM Data Loader - Work Structures, or HCM Data Loader - Recruiting
• Search for and select your custom role.
• Use the Assign dropdown on the Assigned Business Objects table toolbar to assign access to the HCM Data Loader business objects and product areas users with this role should be able to use.
• Save your changes. You can now assign this role to users who should be able to bulk-load data with the HCM Data Loader business objects configured.

External User - Integration Specific

• Use the Security Console to create a custom External Payroll Backfeed role.
• Click Assign dropdown on the Assigned Business Objects table toolbar.
• Document Record
• Payroll Interface Inbound Record
• Third Party Payroll Interface Error
• Save your changes. You can now assign this role to the user account provided to your third-party payroll provider to upload payroll backfeed data.

Task 5: Generate a PGP Key Pair for Encrypting HDL Files

You're recommended to encrypt all files before loading them to the Oracle WebCenter Content server. Any user with access to the HCM Data Loader import account can download and read any file on that account, regardless of who created it.

HCM Data Loader decrypts files using the private fusion-key PGP key, so you need to generate this on your Oracle Cloud environment before loading encrypted files. You encrypt your files with the fusion-key public key.

• Sign into Oracle HCM Cloud with the IT Security Manager job role or privileges.
• Click the Certificates tab.
• Review the certificates that already exist. If the fusion-key certificate already exists, you can skip to the Extract the Public Key section. Otherwise, follow the steps to generate the fusion-key certificate.

Generate the fusion-key Certificate

• Click Generate to open the Generate dialog.

• Select a Certificate Type of PGP and specify these values:

• Click Save and Close . A confirmation message will appear, close it.

Extract the Public Key

• Click the Action choice menu button for the fusion-key record.
• Click Export > Public Key .

The fusion-key_pub.asc file will be downloaded. Save it to your desktop.
