HDL – Sample HDL files load Content Items

To bulk upload items catalogs in HCM profiles, you can use ContentItem.dat. Each of the template have certain mandatory attributes like Context Name, Value Set Name or Value Set Id:

S0, before you start preparing the file, you need to have below information handy:

1. Context Name – This is a mandatory attribute. If you don’t pass the value in your HDL file, you will get below error:

The values 3000122xxxxx aren’t valid for ContentItemValueSetId.

You can get the context name from HRT_CONTENT_TYPES_B table:

2. Content Item Value Set Name/Id: This is again a mandatory attribute. You can get the Content Value Set Name/ Id from HRT_CONTENT_TP_VALUESETS_TL table.

Once you have the details, you can prepare ContentItem.dat.
