Below is the sample file (tested on an older version) to load rehire worker records but the structure should remain same. Few attributes may be deprecated now, so you may get an error. Please remove those and it should work fine.

HDL supports deletion of element eligibilities. You can make use of PayrollElementDefinition business object. Child object ElementEligibility supports create, update and delete operations.
You can create a simple BIP query to extract the requisite data and create an HDL file out of it:
select pelf.element_link_id
,petf.element_type_id
,petf.base_element_name
,pelf.effective_start_date
from pay_element_types_f petf
, pay_element_links_f pelf
where petf.element_type_id = pelf.element_type_id
and element_link_id=300000175215375
and TRUNC(sysdate) BETWEEN petf.effective_start_date and petf.effective_end_date
Sometime you may get an error that You can’t delete element eligibility as element entries exist for this eligibility. In this case first you need to identify the corresponding element entries and Delete those and then retry deleting element eligibility.
Please check mos note – When Attempting to Delete Element Eligibility Get Error ‘The element eligibility record can’t be deleted because it would invalidate existing element entries with effective start dates in the future. (PAY-1635756)’ (Doc ID 2686914.1) for sample query and sample file for element entry deletion.
In rare cases, while uploading the HDL file from Data exchange results in HRC-1035375 – A connection to the WebCenter Content Server Couldn’t be established.
Resolution to this error is to raise an SR with Oracle support and ask them for OID services bounce.
Many a time there is a requirement to update/change the existing actions and actions reasons usages. Doing this manually in UI will become a cumbersome process for multiple actions and may lead to human errors as well.
For this, HCM Data Loader can used to update the changes using Actions.dat file.
Use the below SQL queries to extract Actions and Action Reason Usages data from your Pod in HDL format:
Actions:
Select 'MERGE|Actions|'
||
actb.action_code
||'|'||
actt.action_name
||'|'||
actb.action_type_code

hrc_integration_key_map map
where 1=1
and actb.action_id = actt.action_id
and actt.language = USERENV('LANG')
and actb.action_id = map.surrogate_id
Action Reason Usage:
Select 'MERGE|ActionReasonUsage|'

aru.action_code
||'|'||
aru.action_reason_code

from
hrc_integration_key_map km,
PER_ACTION_REASON_USAGES aru
where 1=1
and aru.ACTION_REASON_USAGE_ID = km.surrogate_id
Copy and save the data as Actions.dat and do the required changes.
HCM Data Loader object ClassroomResource can be used to bulk upload classroom resources in Oracle Learning Cloud. Existing locations created as part of Global HR can also be designated as classroom resources.
Below is a sample file to upload classroom resources using HDL:
Goal Weightage can be updated using GoalMeasurement metadata in Goal business object. First, we need to extract the uploaded measurements. Use the below query to extract the details:
Often in Cloud HCM, we encounter situation(s) where we need to update some information at worker assignment, post worker creation as this information was not available at the time of hiring an worker. One such example could be Employee category. Let’s take a hypothetical example, employee category should be auto populated based on worker Job. As, there is no direct link between employee category and job, so it becomes a pain to manually search and put the correct employee category while hiring. So, in this case, the worker is hired with Job with no value for employee category.
A DFF is opened at Job level which store the corresponding employee category. So, in this case we design a solution which will:
Read the worker job and then the corresponding employee category from Job.
Generate the data for WorkTerms and Assignments METADATA in HCM Data Loader Format.
HCM Extract to consume the data and trigger HDL Import and Load Process.
Schedule HCM Extract to run daily or depending upon the requirement.
Once, HCM Extract is run, employee category will populated automatically.
Steps to design the integration:
Extract the Workterms and assignment data for all workers where the job is populated and employee category is NULL.
Create a BIP publisher report to organize the data extracted in Step 1 in HCM Data Loader format. Copy the Global Reports Data Model (from path /Shared Folders/Human Capital Management/Payroll/Data Models/globalReportsDataModel) to a folder in /Shared Folders/Custom/HR. This folder can be anything as per your nomenclature specifications.
Add a new data set in the globalReportsDataModel and paste your query in the new data set.
Download the above file. Change the extension to xml.
Open the xml file with Notepad or Notepad++ and remove first two rows (these rows were added to make sure the file is uploaded here).
Navigate to My Client Groups -> Data Exchange -> HCM Extracts -> Extract Definitions:
Click on Import to import the xml file
Provide an Extract name. Uncheck the Changes Only checkbox and click on Ok:
Once the extract Import is complete, Click on pencil icon to edit:
Click on ‘Extract Delivery Option’ in navigation Tree on left side. And on the right side, Under ‘Extract Delivery Options’ click on edit to update the path of your report as created earlier. It should like – /Custom/HR/AssignmentUpdateRPT.xdo
Make sure default value for parameter Auto Load is set “Y”.
Save the details. Click on Extract Execution Tree next and Click All Formula:
Once the formulas are complied, then click on Submit button.
The next step is to refine the extract in order to Submit the Import and Load process:
Navigate to My Client Groups -> Data Exchange -> HCM Extracts -> Refine Extracts. Search the extract and click on edit.
Select and Add – Initiate HCM Data Loader process
Click on Go Task for “Initiate HCM Data Loader” and Click Edit for “ Data Loader Archive Action” and add the relevant parameters:
Parameter Basis – Bind to Flow Task Basis Value – XX Assignment Update Integration, Submit , Payroll Process
Click Edit for “Data Loader Configurations” add relevant parameters
Parameter Basis – Constant Bind Basis Value -ImportMaximumErrors=100,LoadMaximumErrors=100,LoadConcurrentThreads=8,LoadGroupSize=100
Task sequence should look as follows:
Go to Review and click on Submit.
Your extract is now ready for submission. You can submit the extract and test it.
Actions and Action Reasons are very important part of any Cloud HCM implementation. Oracle provides a large number of actions and action reasons out of the box. But if needed additional actions and action reasons can be created from UI as well as using HDL.
Each action is tied with an action type. Please note that action types are seeded and can’t be created. You can create a custom action and attach existing action reasons to it. The details are stored in PER_ACTION_REASON_USAGES table.
During implementation, there is a common requirement to delete some of the unwanted action reason usages which were created initially and are no longer required. In such cases finding each reason and deleting it from action is quite a painful task.
This can be achieved easily using HCM Data Loader.
Run the below query in BIP and save the file as Actions.dat. Zip the file and kick Import and Load HCM Data Loader process. You can modify the extract criteria as per your requirement:
SELECT data

SELECT 'METADATA|ActionReasonUsage|ActionCode|ActionReasonCode|StartDate|EndDate|SourceSystemId|SourceSystemOwner' data, 1 DATA_SEQ

ORDER BY DATA_SEQ

Once the data is loaded, you can run the query to check loaded plans in HRM_PLANS table.
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

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.
