There are many scenarios where a table validated value set is created which is then called in fast formulas. using GET_VALUE_SET function using a parameter.
For developers, it is a headache to test the value coming from value set as they have to write log statements in fast formula to debug that.
One easy way of doing that is to use pay_ff_functions.gvs function from BIP.
Sample code:
SELECT pay_ff_functions.gvs ('EMP_NATIONALITY','|=P_PERSON_ID='''||'1123121') VALUE FROM DUAL
There are cases where you need to run HCM Extracts on different schedules which are not available in standard schedule. For example, we need to run an HCM Extracts after 6 hours. In this case, a custom flow schedule fast formula can be created.
Sample FF to run HCM Extracts at 4 AM, 10 AM, 4 PM and 10 PM:
Succession Plans data is stored in HRM_PLANS table. A succession plan can a PUBLIC or PRIVATE plan. By default if any user accesses HRM_PLANS table, user will be able to see all plans data irrespective of plan type (public or private). The requirement here is that a person who is querying data should be able to see all PUBLIC succession plans and only those PRIVATE plans which are defined by the user.
This can be achieved using below SQL:
select * from HRM_PLANS hp
where hp.ACCESS_TYPE_CODE = 'PUBLIC'
UNION
select * from HRM_PLANS hp
where hp.ACCESS_TYPE_CODE = 'PRIVATE'
and exists (select 1 from HRM_PLAN_OWNERS hpo
where person_id = hrc_session_util.get_user_personid
and hpo.plan_id = hp.plan_id)
You can pass multiple comma separated values in an HCM Extract parameter and then use below logic to separate the comma separated values into multiple values:
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT trim(regexp_substr(param_person_number,'[^, ]+',1,LEVEL))
FROM (SELECT pay_report_utils.get_parameter_value('PER_NUMBER') param_person_number
FROM DUAL)
CONNECT BY regexp_substr(param_person_number,'[^, ]+', 1,LEVEL)>0)
SELECT pcafv.collective_agreement_name

Calendar events are used in HCM to capture public holidays available to employees based on their location or department.
Below SQL queries can be used to extract the list of configured calendar events from backend table:
List of all calendar events configured:
SELECT pcetl.name

Oracle provides HCMGroup.dat which can be used to assign members against HCM Group. However, the business object has a major limitation (till release version 22A) that it can be used only for below two seeded Oracle HCM Groups:
Manually Maintained Excluded Members
Manually Maintained Audit Members
Below is the sample HDL file to add members to Audit HCM Group:
For any custom HCM Groups, this can’t be used. If you try to use any custom Group Code in the HDL file, you will receive below error:
Valid values for attribute GROUP CODE: MANUALLY MAINTAINED AUDIT MEMBERS,MANUALLY MAINTAINED EXCLUDED MEMBERS.
Query to extract members of an HCM Group:

Loading the profile data against a worker/job/position is little tricky one. One has to understand the templates thoroughly before uploading any data.
Below are some of the most commonly used queries to extract some of the required information for loading Talent profiles data.

For many BIP reports, it is required to publish the environment url. One can easily hardcode it in SQL query, however, when P2T or T2T happens, the same url gets copied to target instance which is incorrect. The better way of doing it is to use below piece of code in custom SQL to extract environment url dynamically:
SELECT 'https://'||EXTERNAL_VIRTUAL_HOST INSTANCE_NAME
FROM FUSION.ASK_DEPLOYED_DOMAINS
WHERE DEPLOYED_DOMAIN_NAME = 'FADomain'
Person External Identifier information can be deleted easily using HDL. Under Worker use ExternalIdentifier to delete this data.
Run the below query to extract required data in HDL format:

For Position Model profiles, there are additional attributes like Description, Qualification and Responsibilities. To load these, one should make use of ModelProfileExtraInfo child business object of TalentProfile.dat.
Attributes values for Description, Qualification and Responsibilities should be stored in txt files. The txt file(s) should then be placed under the ClobFiles folder and should be zipped together with .dat file.
Sample HDL File to load position model profile extra info:

zip File Structure:
Once the data is loaded, same can be viewed in UI:
TalentProfile.dat can be used to create worker talent profiles and loading content items against the talent profiles. While some of the content items load is straight forward, loading competencies is little tricky one. This is because there are some additional fields like QualifierId1 and QualifierId2 which should be supplied to make the loaded data available on UI.
select QUALIFIER_ID,DESCRIPTION
from FUSION.HRT_QUALIFIERS_VL
where QUALIFIER_SET_ID in (
select QUALIFIER_SET_ID from fusion.HRT_QUALIFIER_SETS_VL where SECTION_ID = 300000236137110)
Sample data from above query:
By default on UI, View By is set to “Official”:
Navigation :- Person Management -> Talent Profile
So, if you pass QualifierId1 as something different from the Id for “Official”, the loaded data will not be visible. Make sure to set “View By” to All.
Below is the high level description of some of the main attributes of ProfileItem business object:
ProfileId – profile Id of the person. If you don’t have it, pass it blank and pass the value under ProfileCode.
ProfileCode – Use this if you don’t know ProfileId (above).
DateFrom – From Date
RatingLevelCode2 – Pass values 1,2,3,4 or 5 based on your rating level (under rating model you can see).
SourceSystemId – Pass same as Profile Id or Profile Code
ItemDate6 – Review Date
ContentItem – Competency Name
QualifierId1 – Qualifier_id for an appropriate evaluator type. Can be used from the query above.
QualifierId2 – Person Id corresponding to evaluator type. For example, if using qualifier_id for Self, pass person_id of the worker in qualifierId2.
HCM Extracts with inbound delivery are one of the most powerful technical features of the Fusion HCM cloud. HCM Extracts with inbound delivery enables the technical consultants to do customizations and automations by making use of tools like BIP, HCM Extracts and HCM Data Loader.
You can follow the below post for more details on the topic:
One has to take care a number of things when designing the Inbound HCM Extracts or the Loopback extract, otherwise you may get variety of errors.
One of the most commonly encountered error is:
An assertion failure was detected at location BatchProcArchivePA.getRepMapId:2. error while running
There can be multiple reasons to this error. To resolve this, please check below:
Are you using a BIP report to generate the output? If yes, can you please check if permissions are assigned to the report and data model (to FUSION%APPS%HCM%ESS%APPID)?
Please download the sample output from data model and check if you can generate a sample output using BI Publisher plugin.
Check if report path is correct if you are using.
Also, please check if you are able to deliver the output to UCM.
Check if the extract parameters are correct and the related value sets/ fast formula are present in the environment.
