You can make use of HCM Data Loader to upload Succession Plans (Incumbent, Job and Position Types).
Use the below sample file to load Succession Plans:

Once the data is loaded, you can run the query to check loaded plans in HRM_PLANS table.
There is a frequent requirement of using a parameter in HCM Extracts which can accept multiple comma separated values. For example, in Worker Extract, we need to have a Parameter called PER_NUMBER which should accept multiple comma separated values.
To split the input values, we can use REGEXP_SUBSTR function.
SELECT *

FROM (SELECT pay_report_utils.get_parameter_value('PER_NUMBER') per_num_param
FROM DUAL)

Configure HCM Data Loader is a task that is used to define the HCM Data Loader parameters. The parameters are broadly divided into following categories:- Availability, Diagnostic, File Definition, Performance and Scheduling Default. These are the default settings which are applied to any HCM Data Load.
You can override some of these parameters at the individual dat file level i.e. using SET commands or some of the parameters can be overridden while submitting the Import and Load job.
Please note that the default values vary from HDL to HSDL (Spreadsheet Loader).
You can use below mentioned query to get the details from backend using a BIP:
select PARAM_CATEGORY
,PARAM_NAME
,DEFAULT_VALUE
,HSDL_DEFAULT_VALUE
,HDL_ENABLED
,HDL_OVERRIDE_ENABLED
,HSDL_ENABLED
,HSDL_OVERRIDE_ENABLED
,VALUE_LOOKUP_TYPE
,CREATED_BY
,CREATION_DATE
,LAST_UPDATED_BY
,LAST_UPDATE_DATE
from hrc_dl_all_parameters

In Oracle Learning Cloud, a specialization can be created as a combination of multiple sections with each section comprising of multiple courses.
A learning admin can setup the specialization by navigating to My Client Groups -> Learning -> Learning Catalog -> Specializations:
Example:
Use the below query to get the above details:
WITH specialization as

Default Assignment Rules like Validity Period, Expiration, Renewal Options, Renewal Period etc are maintained at the course level in Oracle Learning Cloud.
These details are stored in the backend table ‘WLF_ASSIGNMENT_RULES’.
The query from below post can be joined with WLF_ASSIGNMENT_RULES using ASSIGNMENT_RULE_ID column:
While creating the Courses in Oracle Learning Cloud, there is a capability to load CoverArt for each course. If no cover art is loaded, the learner is presented with a blue strip film.
HCM Data Loaders provides an option to bulk upload the CoverArt file for multiple courses at one go. All the cover art related files (jpg, jepg) should be included in BlobFiles folder and the name of the jpg/jpeg file should be provided in the dat file.
In the enhanced profiles (Profile V2), for bulk upload, one has to use TalentProfile.dat file as earlier. However while loading profile items against a profile, a new attribute SectionId should be provided. SectionId is based on the content item being used.
Oracle Learning Cloud supports to define learning outcomes against each course as shown in below fig:
For reporting and integration purposes, there is a need to extract the learning outcomes assigned against each course. Learning outcomes are stored as profile relationship against each course. Below query can be used to extract the asked data:

Lookups are commonly used across modules in SaaS. Sometimes, the number of lookups is so much that it takes lot of time and effort to create them manually in the application. Oracle SaaS supports bulk upload of both lookup types and lookup codes.
In this post, we will see how to make use of file based loader to load lookup types.
Prepare the lookup code file as given below:
LookupType|Meaning|Description|ModuleKey|ModuleType TXX_MASS_UPLOAD|Mass Upload Lookup Definition|Test Lookup created for demo purpose|HcmCommonHrCore|LBA TXX_MASS_UPLOAD_A|Mass Upload Lookup Def – A|Test Lookup created for demo purpose-A|HcmCommonHrCore|LBA
Out of above listed attributes, only the description is optional.
Module Key and module type both are required parameters. To know what value shall be passed, please check the below post:
Oracle HCM makes use of extended lookups feature to support dependent lookup values. For example, while creating a VISA or Work Permit record for a Person for Singapore, the Category field is dependent upon Type of the pass chosen. The values of Category field are derived from Extended lookup.
Navigate to Setup and Maintenance -> Manage Extended Lookup codes -> Visa Permit Type
Now, let us take an example where we need to load 2 values for categories based on the lookup code S Pass.
Prepare the HDL file in below format:
METADATA|ExtendedLookupCode|ExtendedLookupCodeId|LookupType|LookupCode|LegislationCode|ExtendedLookupCode|ExtendedLookupCodeName|SourceSystemOwner|SourceSystemId MERGE|ExtendedLookupCode||PER_VISA_PERMIT_TYPE|SG_SP|SG|TEST_SP1|S Pass Holder – Test 1|HRC_SQLLOADER|TEST_1 MERGE|ExtendedLookupCode||PER_VISA_PERMIT_TYPE|SG_SP|SG|TEST_SP2|S Pass Holder – Test 2|HRC_SQLLOADER|TEST_2
zip the file and upload using HCM Data Loader from Data Exchange.
On successful load, the new values can be verified from either of following two places on the UI:
While defining Common Lookups or value sets, you need to provide module value. Each module has an associated module type, module key and product code associated with it. For example:
These details are stored in backed in a table – FND_APPL_TAXONOMY.
Use the below query to find module type, module key etc for a module:
select fat.MODULE_NAME
,fat.MODULE_TYPE
,fat.MODULE_KEY
,fat.PRODUCT_CODE
from FND_APPL_TAXONOMY fat
Lookups are used commonly to meet different requirements. Many a times, lookup values easily go past hundred values, in such case adding the values one by one into the lookup is very tedious and error prone job.
There is no HDL support to bulk upload the lookup values. However, a file based solution is available which is easy to use and quick.
We have already discussed on how to bulk upload lookup types in below post:
Follow the below steps to mass upload lookup values:
Create a custom lookup from UI:
[N] – Setup and Maintenance -> Search -> Manage Common Lookups
2. Click on Add New (+) under search results:
3. Provide the details and Click on Save:
4. Prepare the lookup values file in below format:
LookupType|LookupCode|DisplaySequence|EnabledFlag|StartDateActive|EndDateActive|Meaning|Description|Tag XXX_MASS_UPLOAD|MASS_01|1|Y|15/12/2001||Mass Upload Value 1|Mass Upload Value 1 Description|+GB
Below mentioned attributes in the above file are Mandatory:
-> LookupType
-> LookupCode
-> EnabledFlag
-> Meaning
Except these all other fields are optional.
Date Format for StartDateActive and EndDateActive attributes is DD/M/RRRR.
File should be pipe (|) delimited.
Save the file as csv.
5. Once the file is ready, navigate to – Tools -> File Import and Export
6. Click on Add (+) and choose your file:
Select account as :-> setup/functionalSetupManger/import
Click on Save and Close.
7. Navigate to Manage Common Lookups. Under Search Results click on Action and Import:
8. Select the account and give the file name as given in step 6 and Click on Upload button:
9. Monitor the import progress:
10. Once the import is complete, verify the uploaded values:
11. Results can be verified from Import file log as well:
Both Lookup types and lookup codes can be loaded in one shot as well. Prepare both the files simultaneously and follow the same steps as given above.
