HRHD – Unable to view worker in Resource Directory

For using workers in HRHD, they should be added as resources. However, there are certain cases post worker data load where the workers are not available in the resource directory to be added as resources.

Check the below post on adding workers as resources:

HRHD – Create Worker as Resource

This is mainly due to the reason that post worker load, the workers are not loaded into hz_parties table. ESS Job Person Synchronization should be run post worker load and should be scheduled daily so that the worker data is in sync with hz_parties.

Please refer to the user guide attached in below MOS note:

https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=126676774858547&id=2068535.1&_adf.ctrl-state=11cq05fk7b_52

Once the ESS Job is successful, you should be able to see the workers in Add Resources window.

Configuration – Using User Interface Text

User Interface Text is a tool provided with Oracle Fusion Applications which can be used to replace any words/sentences across the application. For example, you want to rename Worker to Employee, then you can make use of this tool.

To make use of this tool, you have to first create a sandbox and then add User Interface Text tool in it. Then test your changes in sandbox mode. Once you are satisfied, you can publish your changes.

  • Navigate to User Name -> Settings and Actions -> Administration -> Edit Pages
  • Click on Activate Sandbox:
  • Click on ‘Create Sandbox’. Give a name and choose ‘User Interface Text’ tool:
  • Click on ‘Create and Enter’ button.
  • Click on User Interface Text:
  • In the Find text box give the string you want to search and in Replace text box give the text which you want to display and click on Search button:
  • The result will show all the places where it finds the string:
  • Check the other tabs as well for results to see the texts which will be replaced:
  • Click on ‘Replace Strings’ button if you want to proceed ahead with the changes or click on ‘New Search’ to start a new search:

Please note that initial search button will not get enabled unless you supply both (search and replace) values.

Reports (BIP) – Query to extract Manage Person Name Styles

Manage Person Name Styles is a task that can be used to configure additional Name attributes for a country if required.

Also, a name component can be made required as per requirement.

In multi country implementations, it is required to know the setup for technical developers as it is hard to check the setup for each country from the UI. In such cases, below SQL can be used to extract the information from backend tables:

SELECT pnsv.legislation_code
      ,pensv.display_sequence
      ,pensv.column_name
      ,pensv.prompt
      ,pensv.required_flag

Approvals – Designing approval based on Probation Period

There is a common requirement for Resignation approval workflows where the approval is triggered based on a condition by checking whether the worker has completed the probation period or not. The probation end date attribute is not exposed in BPM. So it becomes little tricky to get the probation end date.

In such cases, days between function can be used to calculate the probation end date based on probation period. The pre-requisite is that the probation period for all workers should be entered with UOM as ‘Days’.

Duration.days between(Task.payload.Worker’s Current Assignment.result.Work Relationship Start Date.toGregorianCalendar(),CurrentDate.date) <= Task.payload.Worker’s Current Assignment.result.Probation Period
