BIP – Query to extract business unit attached to a Job

In multi country HCM Implementations, work structures data can be stored in a COMMON set or a country specific set. In such cases, it becomes important to show the correct business unit name against the jobs in reports.

Use the below report to extract the Job and the business unit:

SELECT BU_ID
      ,BU_NAME
	  ,DEFAULT_SET_ID
	  ,SHORT_CODE
	  ,pjft.name
FROM  PER_JOBS_F pjf
     ,PER_JOBS_F_TL pjft
     ,FUN_ALL_BUSINESS_UNITS_V fabuv
WHERE pjf.SET_ID = fabuv.DEFAULT_SET_ID
and pjf.job_id = pjft.job_id
and trunc(sysdate) between pjf.effective_start_date and pjf.effective_end_date
and trunc(sysdate) between pjft.effective_start_date and pjft.effective_end_date
and pjft.language = 'US'
order by pjft.name

To get more details on SET Name, Set assignments, you can make use of following tables:

BIP – Update Sheet Name in RTF template for Excel output

Excel output in Fusion BIP can be generated using multiple ways i.e. either using excel template or RTF templates. When you use RTF templates to generate excel output, by default the data is generated in sheet with name “Sheet1:

If you want to rename Sheet1 to user defined value, then use the below expression in your RTF template:

<?spreadsheet-sheet-name: {‘Test’}?>

If you want it be dynamic, use below expression:

<?spreadsheet-sheet-name: {.//NAME}?>

Make the changes in RTF template and upload. The output file generated will have sheet name as Test.

BIP – Query to extract Actions.dat data

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
||'|'||
to_char(actb.start_date, 'yyyy/mm/dd')
||'|'||
to_char(actb.end_date, 'yyyy/mm/dd')
||'|'||
map.source_system_id
||'|'||
map.source_system_owner ACTIONS_HDL
from
PER_ACTIONS_B actb,
PER_ACTIONS_TL actt,
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
||'|'||
to_char(aru.start_date, 'yyyy/mm/dd')
||'|'||
to_char(aru.end_date, 'yyyy/mm/dd')
||'|'||
km.source_system_id
||'|'||
km.source_system_owner ARC_HDL
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.

Sample File:

METADATA|Actions|ActionCode|ActionName|ActionTypeCode|StartDate|EndDate|SourceSystemId|SourceSystemOwner
MERGE|Actions|TEST_MANAGE_CONTRACT|Test Manage Contract|EMPL_CONTRACT_EXTN|1951/01/01|4712/12/31|300000072427734|FUSION

METADATA|ActionReasonUsage|ActionCode|ActionReasonCode|StartDate|EndDate|SourceSystemId|SourceSystemOwner
MERGE|ActionReasonUsage|TEST_MANAGE_CONTRACT|CHANGE_CONTRACT|1951/01/01|4712/12/31|300000072427735|FUSION

BIP – Report Cannot Be Rendered Error

When designing BIP reports, sometimes the developer is encountered with “Report Cannot Be Rendered Error”. There can be various reasons of this error. The main reason behind this error is incorrect configuration.

To resolve this issue for excel templates, make sure that there are no invalid references under Name Manager.

Navigate to Formulas -> Name Manager and make sure there are no fields with invalid references. If there exist a field with invalid reference, delete the reference, save your template and upload again.

In the below example, FIELD1 has invalid reference:

You can test if the template is rendering proper data or not by uploading the sample xml data before actually uploading the file to BIP.

With incorrect reference, you will get below error:

BIP – Query to get Active Users for terminated employees

Once a worker is terminated in Oracle HCM Cloud, one would expect that associated User account to be inactive as well. For this to happen automatically, autoprovisioning rules should be setup which will remove the associated roles to the terminated worker’s user. In case, there is even a single role attached to the user, the user will show as active in Security Console.

From the backend, Suspended attribute in PER_USERS table is mapped to active checkbox in UI. If the user is active, the suspended flag will hold N value. For inactive users, the value of this attribute will be Y.

You can use below query to get the list of terminated workers for whom the user is still active:

SELECT papf.person_number,pu.username
  FROM per_all_people_f papf
      ,per_all_assignments_m paam
	  ,per_users pu
 WHERE papf.person_id = paam.person_id
