Manage Extensible Flexfield in Fusion HCM Cloud Technical- Demo

$

An extensible flexfield is similar to a descriptive flexfield in that it provides a customizable expansion space that implementers, such as Oracle Fusion Applications customers, can use to configure additional attributes (segments) without additional programming. As with descriptive flexfields , each segment is represented in the database as a single column. However, with extensible flexfields the context values and context-sensitive segments are stored in a child table.Extensible flexfields allow implementers to configure contexts as either single row or multiple row. That is, either one set of segments is stored for a business object instance, or multiple sets of segments are stored for the instance. For example, a position requires only one set of educational requirements, but can require more than one certificate or license.

Generating Different Output Formats from an Oracle Fusion BI Cloud Report A Worked Example

$
0
0

Introduction

While it is the general practice to have a specific output format for a report, sometimes some common report like Employee Basic Details Report needs to be send to multiple downstream application and there may be a scenario when each one of the downstream application has it specific needs like data fields, frequency of file transfer and most important of all output file type.

While for a traditional ERP System one had to design specific programs one each for the downstream application explicitly the same probably could be achieved easily in Fusion Cloud System.

It allows not just 1, 2 or 5 different file formats but as many as 15 different versions.

Impressive, isn’t it, but that’s more of theory and would be nice to verify via a worked example.

So let-us dig in deep and find out.

Worked Out Example

While we could have created a completely new custom report altogether from scratch but let-us use as existing Report (details of creating the same may be found here) in the interest of time.

We would assume that a report already exists and we would take the same as a starting point.

As a first step let-us login to the application and locate the specific report we are referring to (the one which would be used for this example)

A quick click on the ‘Open’ links shows us the report data (in the default output format set in Report’s properties. I guess its CSV for this one)

Next, we need to click on the Actions (wheel icon highlighted in yellow in the screen-shot below) and select the ‘Edit Report’ option

This will open up a new screen where we need to choose the ‘View a List’ link

Once on this screen we need to fill the following details:

Attribute Name

Attribute Value

Name

SampleEmpDataReport

Template File

SampleEmpDataReport.xpt

Type

xpt

Output Formats

Interactive;HTML;PDF;RTF;Excel (mhtml);Excel (html);Excel (*.xlsx);PowerPoint (mhtml);PowerPoint (*.pptx);MHTML;PDF/A;PDF/X;Zipped PDFs;FO Formatted XML;Data (XML);Data (CSV)

Default Format

Data (CSV)

Default Layout

Checked

Apply Style Template

Unchecked

Active

Checked

View Online

Checked

Locale

English (United States)

 

And the filled in UI would appear as below:

Next we should save this setting and proceed to running the Report using Schedule option.

Next we need to move to the ‘Output’ tab and select all available formats as shown below:

Once selected we should click on ‘Submit’ button and give a Report Job Name

Once we click on OK it would show a confirmation message.

And when we move to the Report History we will see the following:

And finally a quick click on the ‘Report Job Name’ will show all available outputs as expected:

 

And we could see that there are 15 different output formats in which the output has been generated.

So we ran one BI Report and got 15 different output formats which if required may be send explicitly to individual users/systems as per business requirement.

I guess it is a very cool feature and might be very useful in sharing data to downstream application and would make the maintenance task simpler as we need to monitor just one BI Report instead of multiple and also in case any changes are required we can make the same at one single place and expect the same to be reflected in all different output types.

And with this I have reached the end of this article. Hopefully this is a good read and was able to give you an insight into BI capabilities and various features available within a Cloud Environment (these features are also available in an On-Premise Environment too)

That’s It for the day have a nice day and a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year!!

Customizing Tools in Fusion HCM Cloud Technical- Demo

$

Oracle Fusion applications contain built-in customization layers that allow you to make customizations that affect only certain instances of an application. For example, the Sales application has a layer for job role. When you customize an artifact, you can choose to make that customization available only to users of a specific job role, for example, a sales representative.Customizations you make are not saved to the base standard artifact . Instead, they are saved to an XML file that is stored in the Metadata Services (MDS) repository. This XML file acts like a list of instructions that determines how the artifact looks or behaves in the application, based on the layer that is controlling the current context. The MDS Customization Engine manages this process.

Taleo Onboarding (Transitions), a "new generation" onboarding product, provides a unified, automated and customizable system for transitioning candidates, new hires and employees. A process is a series of steps typically performed by multiple stakeholders. All required steps must be completed before the process acquires the "Complete" status Components of a process. It is created in Onboarding (Transitions) Administration by the Onboarding (Transitions) administrator.
• A process contains steps.
• A step contains a task. A task can be a form to complete, a message to be sent or even a link to an external
service.
• Steps are linked by transitions which define the order of steps.
• A transition can include a condition that governs whether a subsequent step will ever be assigned or not

The purpose of user-defined selections (UDSs) is to provide the possible answer values for a user-defined field (UDF),for instance when displayed in a form to an assignee. Because the synchronisation will consider all the UDFs in Legacy Onboarding and will transform them into Recruiting UDFs where needed, it is also necessary for the synchronisation process to consider all the UDS in Legacy Onboarding and to transform these into Recruiting UDS for use within those new Recruiting UDFs.


Manage Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Fusion Cloud Security-Demo

$
0
0

Role-based access control (RBAC) normalises access to functions and data through user roles rather than only users. User access is based on the definition of the roles provisioned to the user. RBAC secures access in a "Who can do what on which functions or sets of data under what conditions" approach. The "who" is the user. The "what" are the abstract operations or entitlement to actions applied to resources. For example, view and edit are actions, and task flows or rows in data tables are resources.Job roles group users in adherence to the principle of least privilege by granting access only in support of the duties likely to be performed, such as the job of Accounts Payable Manager. Duty roles define the duties of a job as entitlement to perform a particular action, such as processing payables invoices. Data roles group users who have functional access through a particular job role with access to a particular dimension of data, such as invoices relevant only to their business unit, or based on Human Capital Management (HCM) security profiles, such as employees who work in departments in a particular country, line of business, or division.

Creating a OTBI Analysis to identify all individuals having Duplicate National Identifiers

$

Introduction

Oracle Fusion Cloud Application doesn’t have an inbuilt validation where it restricts assigning a National ID which has already been allocated to another person. As such there could be multiple individuals ( some dummy users, test users .. etc.) which might have the same national identifier values attached with their records.

Business would like to know how many such National Identifiers exist in the system and what the person records who are having such ambiguity.

While the solution would also have been achieved by writing a SQL query, but for this example we would use OTBI to achieve the same.

In a broad level we would need to perform the following steps:

  1. Create another OTBI Analysis which will have Person Details like Person Number, Display Name and National ID. (Lets say we call this as PersonNationalIDListAnalysis)

  2. Create a OTBI Analysis which would list all the National Identifiers that have more than one occurrence. ( Lets say we call this as DuplicateNationalIDListAnalysis)

  3. Use the OTBI Drill Down Feature where in PersonNationalIDListAnalysis will have NationalID as a prompted field and would be called as an Action when user clicks on NationalId field of DuplicateNationalIDListAnalysis. Sounds complicated ?. It isn’t will get clarity when we go through creation of same.

So let us get started.

Creating PersonNationalIDListAnalysis

We would be using three columns namely Person Number, Display Name and National ID for this Analysis. Details about the same are as below:

PersonNationalIDListAnalysis

Subject Area Used: Workforce Management Person Real Time

Column Name

Column Value

Person Number

"Person Details"."Person Number"

Display Name

"Person Names"."Display Name"

National ID

"Person National Identifiers"."National Identifier Number"

Filter Criteria: National ID is prompted

The following details when entered into application the screen would appear as:

And the results would appear as:

That’s it for the first analysis. Now let us move to the second analysis

Creating DuplicateNationalIDListAnalysis

We will have 5 different columns in this analysis namely National Identifier Type, National ID, National Identifier Type-National ID(custom heading),Is Duplicate (Yes/No). Details about the same are below:

DuplicateNationalIDListAnalysis

Subject Area Used: Workforce Management Person Real Time

Column Name

Column Value

National Identifier Type

"Person National Identifiers"."National Identifier Type"

National ID

"Person National Identifiers"."National Identifier Number"

National Identifier Type-National ID

CONCAT(CONCAT("Person National Identifiers"."National Identifier Type",'-'),"Person National Identifiers"."National Identifier Number")

Count(National ID)

COUNT(CONCAT(CONCAT("Person National Identifiers"."National Identifier Type",'-'),"Person National Identifiers"."National Identifier Number"))

Is Duplicate (Yes/No)

CASE WHEN COUNT(CONCAT(CONCAT("Person National Identifiers"."National Identifier Type",'-'),"Person National Identifiers"."National Identifier Number")) = 1 THEN 'No' ELSE 'Yes' END

Filter Criteria: COUNT(CONCAT(CONCAT("Person National Identifiers"."National Identifier Type",'-'),"Person National Identifiers"."National Identifier Number")) is greater than 1

These details when entered in application the analysis would look as:

And the results would appear as:

 

We would now move to the third and most important step.

Using OTBI Drill Down Feature

We need to select the ‘National ID’ column of ‘DuplicateNationalIDListAnalysis’ and use following navigation.

National ID -> Column Properties -> Interaction and fill following details

Attribute

Value

Column Heading -> Primary Interaction

Default (Drill)

Value -> Primary Interaction

Action Links

Action Links -> Link Text

Navigate to PersonNationalIDListAnalysis

Action Links -> Action

PersonNationalIDListAnalysis

Action Links -> Show Link

Always Enabled

And the screen will appear as:

Once we click on OK and go to results tab we could see that the National ID column is highlighted ( in blue color) and when we click on any of the values it shows ‘Navigate to PersonNationalIDListAnalysis’

We could also see that the record we have selected says that it is associated with 3 different person numbers. So when we would navigate to the Analysis (PersonNationalIDListAnalysis) it should display 3 person numbers.

Which is what the analysis says too.

So thus we have accomplished what we were looking for by making use of 2 OTBI Analysis and Drill Down feature.

Create View Object in Oracle Application Framework (OAF)- Demo

$

A view object row is maintained by a view object cache, whereas an entity object is maintained by an entity cache and is shared by view objects using the same entity object definition. Each view object can have multiple row sets. Usually, when you use methods in oracle.jbo.server.ViewObjectImpl, such as getRowAtRangeIndex, BC4J uses the default row set.
View object attribute data is stored based on this mapping:
- Entity-derived view object attribute values are stored in a special entity object cache that persists for the life of the transaction.
- SQL-derived and transient/dynamic attribute values are stored on the view object row, which is cached for the life of the rowset.

Creating batch using Payroll Batch Loader in Fusion Cloud Integration

The Payroll Batch Loader (PBL) is used for the bulk loading of specific objects through spreadsheets. The UI within the Fusion Payroll is used only when there is any specific need or if any tweaking in the data or processes is to be done by the user. Most of the data is loaded in a bulk fashion, especially when the customer is large and the implementation is at the organisation level. To ease the loading of this bulk amount of data, each application in Oracle Fusion has provided a mechanism to bulk load the data. In Payroll, the Payroll Batch Loader is used for loading the payroll data in bulk using spreadsheets. This is done by the use of a Batch Loader Spreadsheet, which can be downloaded from the Administration Workarea (after installing the Desktop Integration tool). This spreadsheet is then used to create and save batches to load data. Thus, the spreadsheet acts as an interface for loading the bulk data.

When you create an element, you select a primary classification, such as Involuntary Deductions, and optionally a secondary classification, such as Child Support. The classifications, which vary by country or territory, control the element template questions you answer to define the element. An element may automatically inherit subclassifications from its primary classification. You can optionally select additional subclassifications for an element to control the balances it feeds.Some elements are predefined. You can also create other elements to match your requirements. Each element belongs to a primary classification, according to its purpose, which determines the template you use to create it. The template creates the elements and, depending on your country extension, associated items required for payroll processing.

Connections define information about the instances of each predefined configuration you are integrating. Oracle Integration Cloud Service includes a set of predefined adapters, which are the types of applications on which you can base your connections, such as Oracle Sales Cloud, Oracle Eloqua Cloud, Oracle RightNow Cloud, and others. A connection is based on an adapter. A connection includes the additional information required by the adapter to communicate with a specific instance of an application (this can be referred to as metadata or as connection details).

Integrations are the main ingredient of Oracle Integration Cloud Service. An integration includes at the least a trigger (source) connection (for requests sent to Oracle Integration Cloud Service) and invoke(target) connection (for requests sent from Oracle Integration Cloud Service to the target) and the field mapping between those two connections. When you create your integrations, you build on the connections you already created by defining how to process the data for the trigger (source) and invoke (target) connections. This can include defining the type of operations to perform on the data, the business objects and fields against which to perform those operations, required schemas, and so on.

A value set is a group of valid values that you assign to a flexfield segment to control the values that are stored for business object attributes.Value set security only works in conjunction with usage within flexfield segments. If a value set is used standalone, meaning outside a flexfield,value set security is not applied, but Oracle Fusion data security is enforced.An end user enters a value for an attribute of a business object while using the application. The flexfield validates the value against the set of valid values that you configured as a value set and assigned to the segmentValue sets are created first in the chart of accounts configuration.
