Fusion HCM SaaS – Integration
A typical implementation pattern we’re seeing with Fusion
Apps early adopters is implementing a few Fusion HCM applications that bring
the most benefit to their company with the least disruption to existing
programs and interfaces. Very often this ends up being Fusion Goals &
Performance, Talent, Compensation or Benefits, often with Taleo for recruiting.
The implementation picture looks like what you see below:
Here, you can see that all the “downstream integrations”
from the On-Premise Core HR, are unaffected because the master for employee
data is still your On-Premise Core HR system – all updates and new hires are
made here (although they may be fed in from Taleo to start with).
As a second phase when customers migrate Core HR to Fusion
HCM, they have to come up with a strategy to manage integrations to all their
downstream applications that require employee details. For customers coming
from EBS HR, a short term strategy that allows for minimal impact, is to
extract employee data from Fusion (Via HCM Extract), and load the shared EBS HR
tables (which are part of an EBS Financials install anyways), and let your downstream integrations continue to function based on this data as shown below.
If you are not coming from EBS HR and there are license
implications, you may want to consider:
Creating an On-Premise warehouse
for extracting data from Fusion Apps.
Leveraging Fusion Apps Web
Services (available to SaaS customers starting R7) to directly retrieve/write
data to Fusion Apps.
Integration Tools
File Based Loader
This is the primary mechanism for loading HCM data (both
initial load and incremental updates) into Fusion HCM. Employee & related data can be uploaded
into Fusion HCM using File Based Loader.
Note that ability to schedule File Based
Loader to run on a pre-defined schedule will be available as a patch on top of
Rel 5.
Hr2Hr has been deprecated in favor of File Based Loader, but
for existing customers using Hr2Hr, here are some sample scripts
that show how to get more informative error messages. They can be run by
creating data model sql queries in BI Publisher. The scripts currently have
hard coded values for request id and loader batch id, which your developer will
need to update to the correct values for you. The BI Publisher Training Session recorded on
Apr 18th is available here
(under "Recordings"). This will enable a somewhat technical resource
to create a data model sql query.

Loading Information into EBS Full

This could be candidate
information being loaded from Taleo into EBS or Employee information being loaded from Fusion HCM into an
EBS shared HR install (for downstream applications & EBS Financials).

Fusion HCM Extract
Fusion HCM Extract is the
primary mechanism used to extract employee information from Fusion HCM.
Refer to the "Configure
Identity Sync" doc on MOS for additional mechanisms.

Benefits Extract
To setup the benefits
extract, refer to the following guide.
Page 2-15 of the User Documentation describes how to use the benefits
extract.
Benefit enrollments can
also be uploaded into Fusion Benefits. Instructions are here
along with a sample
upload file.
However, if the defined benefits extract does not meet
your requirements, you can use BI Publisher (Link to BI
Publisher presentation recording from Apr 18th) to create your own
version of Benefits extract. You can start with the data model query
underlying the benefits extract.
Payroll Interface
Fusion Payroll Interface enables you to capture personal
payroll information, such as earnings and deductions, along with other data
from Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management, and send that information to a
third-party payroll provider.
