BIP – Find list of message sent from Oracle Alert

Alert composer a very powerful and useful tool to configure and sent notifications to the users. However, it is very important for business to know the list of receipients for each message. I have tried to built a query to get these details.

Security – Deactivating Users in Bulk

With the security concerns regarding access to Oracle HCM applications, I have seen many customers asking for a way to restrict access to a particular DEV/TEST environment having unmasked data. One option in such scenario’s is to keep only the admin user accounts active in the particular environment and deactivate all other user accounts. This way, the user roles data is kept intact and access is restricted to only a set of limited users.

Let us now understand, the kind of users which can exist in Fusion HCM environment. There can be system users (seeded), service accounts, worker accounts (users tied to a person), standalone user accounts (for vendors/ SI partners). So, it is really important to filter the right set of user accounts which should be deactivated. Also, the method of deactivation can vary depending upon the type of user.

Bulk deactivation of users can be performed using either HDL or by using SCIM REST API. While HDL is bulk data upload tool but it has its own set of limitations. HDL can’t be used to deactivate standalone users i.e. the users which don’t have an associated person record. To deactivate standalone users, REST API should be used.

I will discuss both the approaches in details. Let us first find a way to store the admin user accounts which should remain active. My preferred way of doing this is to create a Common Lookup and add the details (user names) in this lookup. This is because lookup values can be updated easily using a spreadsheet loader.

Below is the sample lookup (XX_ACTIVE_USER_ACCOUNTS) which I created to store the admin user names:

Next step is to add the user accounts in the meaning attribute:

Two user accounts – [email protected] and [email protected] have been added. The next steps will be to filter these record from the deactivation steps.

Let us now discuss the first approach which is to deactive user accounts using HDL. Below SQL query can be used to get a list of all required active user accounts in User.dat HDL format:

SELECT 'METADATA|User|UserId|Suspended' datarow
      ,1 seq
  FROM DUAl
 UNION
SELECT 'MERGE|User|'
       || pu.user_id
       || '|Y' datarow
      ,2 seq 
  FROM per_users pu
 WHERE pu.person_id IS NOT NULL
   AND pu.created_by NOT IN ('anonymous')
   AND pu.username NOT LIKE 'FUSION%APPS%'
   AND pu.username NOT IN ('AIACS_AIAPPS_LHR_STAGE_APPID','FAAdmin','FAWService','FAWService_APPID','FIISUSER','HCMSI-98f0f163a79a46c58fa4572e41fac8ed_scim_client_APPID','IDROUser','IDRWUser',						'OCLOUD9_osn_APPID','PSCR_PROXY_USER','PUBLIC','app_monitor1','app_monitor',						  'em_monitoring2','fa_monitor','faoperator','oamAdminUser','puds.pscr.anonymous.user','weblogic_idm','anonymous'
)						   
  AND pu.suspended = 'N'
  AND lower(pu.username) NOT IN (SELECT lower(flv.meaning)
                                    FROM fnd_lookup_values flv
                                   WHERE flv.lookup_type = 'XX_ACTIVE_USER_ACCOUNTS'
                                     AND flv.language = 'US'
                                     AND flv.enabled_flag = 'Y'
                                  )									 
ORDER BY seq

So, the above query will return only those active user accounts which are attached to a person record and don’t exist in the custom lookup XX_ACTIVE_USER_ACCOUNTS.

**Suspended Flag in PER_USERS table indicate if the user is active (N) or inactive (Y).

Next step is to create a BIP data model and a report and save the output data in excel format. From excel, copy the data in a Notepad and save the file as User.dat.

Sample Output in excel format:

Copy the data except for “DATAROW” and paste it in a Notepad. Save the file as User.dat:

zip the User.dat file and upload it in HCM using Data Exchange -> Import and Load.

Once the load is successful, please run – ‘Send Pending LDAP Requests’ ESS job. This should deactivate all the extracted users.

You can run quick queries on per_users to make sure that the user accounts have been deactivated.

Second approach is to use SCIM REST API to bulk deactivate user accounts. I recommend to use this approach only for those users where no person record is attached to the user account.

Please check below MOS note for details on the step by step instructions on SCIM REST API:

Fusion Security: Using SCIM REST API (Doc ID 2346455.1)

Please note that in order to run this REST API, the user should have – IT Security Manager role.

Sample url to bulk deactivate users :-

https://fa-abcdef-dev-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmRestApi/scim/Bulk
Sample Payload:

{
"Operations":[
{
"method":"PATCH",
"path":"/Users/0453A72EE08D419BE0631078680AA831",
"bulkId":"100000001",
"data":{
"schemas":[
"urn:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User"
],
"active":false
}
},
{
"method":"PATCH",
"path":"/Users/0453A72EE08D419BE0631078612AA832",
"bulkId":"100000001",
"data":{
"schemas":[
"urn:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User"
],
"active":false
}
}
]
}

Please note (taken from above Oracle note):

The bulkId attribute value should be set to UNIQUE value, while creating user accounts in BULK. This is required as per IETF SCIM Specifications while creating new resources using POST method. You may use a common value for the bulkId attribute while using PATCH, DELETE, PUT methods in a Bulk operation.

The main challenge with this approach is to get the correct JSON Payload for multiple users from system. I have created a BIP report for this which will generate the output data in required JSON format. Below is the sample code:

SELECT '{
"Operations":['
 data_row, 1 seq 
  FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT 
'{
"method":"PATCH",
"path":"/Users/'
||pu.user_guid||
'",
"bulkId":"1000000000001",
"data":{
"schemas":[
"urn:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User"
],
"active":false
}
},' data_row, 2 seq
 FROM per_users pu
 WHERE pu.person_id IS NOT NULL
   AND pu.created_by NOT IN ('anonymous')
   AND pu.username NOT LIKE 'FUSION%APPS%'
   AND pu.username NOT IN ('AIACS_AIAPPS_LHR_STAGE_APPID','FAAdmin','FAWService','FAWService_APPID','FIISUSER',
                           'HCMSI-98f0f163a79a46c58fa4572e41fac8ed_scim_client_APPID','IDROUser','IDRWUser',
						   'OCLOUD9_osn_APPID','PSCR_PROXY_USER','PUBLIC','app_monitor1','app_monitor',
						   'em_monitoring2','fa_monitor','faoperator','oamAdminUser','puds.pscr.anonymous.user',
						   'weblogic_idm','anonymous'
						   )						   
   AND pu.suspended = 'N'
   AND lower(pu.username) NOT IN (SELECT lower(flv.meaning)
                                    FROM fnd_lookup_values flv
                                   WHERE flv.lookup_type = 'XX_ACTIVE_USER_ACCOUNTS'
                                     AND flv.language = 'US'
                                     AND flv.enabled_flag = 'Y'
                                  )									 
UNION
SELECT '
]
}' data_row, 3 seq
  FROM dual
ORDER BY seq

You can create a BIP data model and report to get data from this query. Extract the data in excel format and copy it to a notepad. Then you need to remove the highlighted comma in order for this JSON payload to work.

You can use SOAP UI/Postman to run the REST API and provide the output from Notepad as JSON input. Once the API runs successfully, the suspended flag will get changed to Y in per_users table.

BIP – Extract Address Style Format Information

You use “Manage Address Formats” task from Setup and Maintenance to define the address style for a particular country. Oracle provides a lot of address format for various countries out of the box. You have the capaibility to customize the address formats as per customer requirement.

For example, you can search for all available address style for United Kingdom using country filter:

You can see below details:

You can edit the address format to customize the address style. You can make a seeded attribute mandatory/ non-mandatory or can add a new address element and many more properties can be set:

You can save the changes. And the address format become active.

One of the main challenges, the data migration team and the integration teams face is the mapping of layout fields to actual backend table attribute in per_addresses_f table.

There is no direct way to find the UI attribute name and its corresponding attribute name in backend table. Below query has been developed to find the UI prompt with actual table attribute name:

SELECT ftt.TERRITORY_SHORT_NAME

HDL – Sample HDL file to End Date Position Valid Grades

There can multiple grades assigned as Valid grade at Position level or Job level. However, there is no direct way to end date the valid grades in bulk.

You can end date a valid grade from responsive UI. But it will be a lot of manual effort. You can search for Position and then navigate to Grades section. Then update the position and click on small delete icon next to Grade name (which you want to end date). This will end date the valid grade with an effective end date = date of position update – 1.

To do this in bulk using HDL, you can’t use DELETE command. If you use DELETE command, it will completely Purge the valid grade record from Position. To end date the valid grade, use “ReplaceLastEffectiveEndDate” attribute in the file.

Below is the sample file:

METADATA|PositionGrade|BusinessUnitName|PositionCode|EffectiveStartDate|EffectiveEndDate|GradeCode|GradeSetCode|ReplaceLastEffectiveEndDate
MERGE|PositionGrade|Progress US Business Unit|PRGUSPOS032|2018/12/31|2023/12/31|Hourly01|PRGUSGRADESET|Y

EffectiveStartDate – Earliest Grade Start Date

EffectiveEndDate – Date on which you want to end date the grade.

Once the file is loaded successfully, below is how the data will look in the backend:

Below SQL query can be used to extract valid grades data:

SELECT DISTINCT 
	   TO_CHAR (pvgf.effective_start_date, 'DD/MON/YYYY') effective_start_date,
	   TO_CHAR (pvgf.effective_end_date, 'DD/MON/YYYY') effective_end_date,

   AND pvgf.grade_id = pgfv.grade_id
   AND pjfv.POSITION_CODE = 'PRGUSPOS032'
   AND pvgf.effective_start_date BETWEEN pjfv.effective_start_date AND pjfv.effective_end_date

ORDER BY POSITION_CODE,grade_code
BIP – Query to extract adjustment reasons attached on accrual Plan level

You can attach multiple adjustment reasons on accrual plan level. You can create any new custom adjustment reasons and add them in a lookup – ANC_ABS_PLAN_OTHER_REASONS.

Once the reason is added in the lookup, you can navigate to Absence Plans.

You can choose the newly added lookup code under “Enteries and Balances” tab.

Once the reasons are added, you can run below SQL query to extract the reasons added to the plan:

SELECT aapft.name
      ,aapf.legislation_code

BIP – Approval Task Name in Transaction Console vs Task name in BPM

In HCM, you can define approval rules for different HCM tasks from Tools -> Transaction Console -> Approval Rules

For example, you want to define an approval rule for Promote action. You can search Promo% in Find box and it will give you all matching approval rules:

You can then click on ‘Configure Rules’ to define the rules.

However, Transaction console has many limitations. You can’t define complex approval rules. You can’t make use of functions etc (Day between) in transaction console. In order to define more complex rules, you need to do it from BPM.

First step is that you need to search for a task from “Task Configuration”:

The issue here is sometimes the Approval Rule names in Transaction Console doesn’t match with Task names in BPM.

In such case, you can make sure of below Query:

SELECT HAPT.NAME "Approval Rule Name"
      ,HAPT.DESCRIPTION
      ,HRPB.TASK_FILE_NAME TaskName
      ,HRPB.TXN_MODULE_IDENTIFIER

BIP – Query to find size of documents attached in DOR

Oracle HCM provides a functionality to store different kinds of worker documents in Document Records. Over a period of time, a large number of documents get accumulated for different workers. In such cases, there are requirements to know size of attachments in DORs. For, this I have developed a simple query which can be modified as needed:

BIP – Extract Absence Entries in HDL Format

Recently, I faced a scenario for a customer where after go-live, where there was an issue found with absence plan configuration. The absence plan was incorrectly set up. The Balance Frequency Source wasn’t setup to “Repeating Period”, so the accrual was calculated incorrectly. In order to fix this, a new absence plan was created and the absence entries were made against the new plan.

So, the approach taken was to take a backup of all absence entries from PROD, enroll the employees into new plan and reupload the absence entries.

A BIP report was developed to take a backup of existing absence entries in HDL format. Below is the query for same:

 )

Once the data is extracted, you need to make sure that Source System Owner is updated from FUSION to HRC_SQLLOADER. Source System Owner is set to FUSION when an entry is created from UI.

Once the output of the BIP is ready, Change “MERGE” to “DELETE” to delete all the absence entries. Then enroll the workers in new plan, do the required changes in BIP extract and upload the data back in Fusion HCM.

BIP – Queries to find count of workers in HCM

Below sample queries can be used to extract count of workers (Active/ Inactive) in HCM:

Query 1:

select count(distinct person_number) 
  from per_all_people_f papf
  where 1=1
    and exists (select 1 from per_periods_of_service ppos where ppos.person_id = papf.person_id)

Query 2: Find count workers not having basic assignment details:

select (distinct person_number) 
  from per_all_people_f papf
  where 1=1
    and exists (select 1 from per_periods_of_service ppos where ppos.person_id = papf.person_id)

BIP – Query to find list of same person having same position multiple times

On the responsive Position UI, the position screens shows the Pending Worker and Worker record as an incumbent and the FTE goes in negative.

Below SQL can be used to identify such persons:

SELECT paam.person_id, hapfv.name
  FROM per_all_assignments_m paam
      ,hr_all_positions_f_vl hapfv
 WHERE paam.position_id = hapfv.position_id
