Configuration – Update Legal Entity Name

There are requirements when the existing legal entity name should be updated to a new name. One should note that the LE name in UI is displayed for a view – HR_ALL_ORGANIZATION_UNITS_F_VL.

Sometimes, even after updating the name in UI, correct name is not reflected on some pages like Manage Employment or Manage Legal Entity Information for HCM.

In such cases, one should verify the value in HR_ALL_ORGANIZATION_UNITS_F_VL view to make sure the updated value is showing here.

If updated value is not available in this view, please follow below steps:

  1. Search for legal entity from ‘Manage Legal Entity for HCM Information’ under My Client Groups -> Workforce Structures
  2. Open the legal entity -> Click on action and choose correct
  3. Submit the changes without doing any change.

This should force the name update to happen in HR_ALL_ORGANIZATION_UNITS_F_VL view.

BIP – Query to find list of jobs without job profiles

There is no easy way in OTBI to find list of jobs which don’t have a model profile associated with them. This can be achieved easily using BIP query.

Sample Query:

SELECT * FROM PER_JOBS_F pjf
 WHERE trunc(sysdate) between pjf.effective_start_date and pjf.effective_end_Date
   AND NOT EXISTS ( SELECT 1
                      FROM HRT_PROFILE_ITEMS hpi

                          ,HRT_PROFILE_RELATIONS hpr
                     WHERE hpi.profile_id = hpb.profile_id
                       AND hpb.profile_usage_code = 'M'
                       AND hpi.profile_id = hpr.profile_id
                       AND pjf.job_id = hpr.object_id

BIP – Check bypass Approval Rules status

While performing SIT/UAT, sometimes it becomes mandatory to disable (bypass) all configured approval rules except for a few. One has to go in manually in Transaction console and check the status for each task.

An easy way to run the following SQL query and check the tasks for which approvals are yet not Bypassed:

SELECT HRPB.TASK_FILE_NAME TaskName
      ,DECODE(HAAO.APPROVAL_DISABLED,'true','Bypassed','false','Enabled') "Enabled Status"
      ,haao.last_update_date
      ,haao.last_updated_by
  FROM FUSION.HRC_ARM_PROCESS_B HRPB
      ,FUSION.HRC_ARM_APPROVAL_OPTIONS HAAO

HDL – Loading Local Person Names

By default, PersonName child object of Worker.dat loads GLOBAL name type. PersonName object can be used to load local name as well.

Two most important attributes of PersonName object for local name upload are:

Name Type – Legislation Code

CharSetContext – Short code for language.

Below is a sample HDL file to upload local names in Thai language:

METADATA|PersonName|EffectiveEndDate|EffectiveStartDate|LegislationCode|PersonId|NameType|FirstName|MiddleNames|LastName|Honors|KnownAs|PreNameAdjunct|PreviousLastName|Suffix|Title|MilitaryRank|CharSetContext

MERGE|PersonName|4712/12/31|2019/09/20|MY|300000189140970|MY|||XYZ||Test122First||||||TH

Language code can be found in Task – Manage Languages.

HDL – Load Worker Images

HCM Data Loader can be used to mass upload worker images. The actual image file should be put in a BlobFiles folder and should be referenced in actual Worker.dat file.

Post this, Worker.dat will be zipped together with BlobFiles folder and uploaded into HCM using Import and Load.

Sample HDL file:

METADATA|PersonImage|Image|ImageName|PersonNumber|SourceSystemOwner|SourceSystemId
MERGE|PersonImage|XYZ_12364.jpg|XYZ_12364|12364|EBS-HR|12364

XYZ_12364.jpg file should be present under BlobFiles.
