HCM COMMON FEATURES

APPLICATIONS SECURITY

Oracle Fusion Applications Security provides a single console where IT Security Managers and
Administrators can perform various functions including user lifecycle management, role definition,
security policy management(both functional and data), role hierarchy maintenance, username and
password policy administration, and certificate management. The console also enables users to simulate
the effect of security changes, to run security reports, and download a connector for integration with
Microsoft Active Directory.

In Release 12, Oracle Fusion Applications Security offers several new capabilities that offer customers
the following benefits:

• A Simplified User Experience for the IT Security Manager - Prior to Release 12, security
administration functions were distributed across Oracle Identity Management (OIM) and
Authorization Policy Manager (APM). In Release 12, these functions are delivered through a
single interface – the Security Console. OIM and APM are no longer available in R12.

• Easy Integration with Identity and Access Management (IDM/IAM) Systems - New
capabilities to synchronize user account information with Identity and Access Management
(IDM/IAM) systems. This synchronization enables the delivery of a Single Sign-On
experience through these systems.

For Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and Oracle Identity Management (OIM), customers can
download and install connectors that will automatically synchronize user account
information between Oracle Fusion Applications and these IDM systems. As in Release 11,
customers must continue to log a Service Request (SR) to set up federated Single Sign-On

7
 (SSO) between these systems. Once federation is enabled, the connectors will synchronize
the information.

Release 12 also delivers a REST API based on the SCIM (System for Cross-Domain Identity
Management) standard. Customers can use this API to create user accounts, modify user
attributes (e.g. email), enable/disable users, and fetch user account and role information.

• An Upgrade-Safe Reference Role Model - Starting in Release 12, pre-defined roles that are
shipped with Oracle Applications Security will be locked down. Customers will not be able to
modify the functional and data security policies that are associated with these roles. They
can, however, add new data security policies to these pre-defined roles. In addition,
privileges and resources are protected. Users cannot create or modify these artifacts

Locking down these security artifacts enables safe upgrades to pre-defined roles, since the
possibility of conflict with customer introduced changes to these roles is now eliminated.
This, in turn enables customers to safely adopt new enhancements that may be delivered
with pre-defined roles in future releases. As in Release 11, customers can make copies of
pre-defined roles and freely customize these copies.

• Enhanced Set of Self-Service Capabilities - Administrators are able to manage the entire
user lifecycle. They can customize how notifications are generated and sent for various user
lifecycle events including user account creation, and password management.

Administrators can also tailor username and password generation by choosing from a list of
shipped policies.

USER ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

Create, manage, and assign user accounts using the Security Console. You can also search, retrieve, and
manage user accounts automatically created for employees, contingent workers, supplier contacts, or
partner contacts.

SECURING ORACLE HCM CLOUD ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD MANAGEMENT

Manage passwords of other user accounts as an administrator. You can auto-generate or manually
enter a password for a user account. You can also define password lifecycle and complexity policies.
Passwords will be automatically validated against these policies.

USER PASSWORD MANAGEMENT (SELF-SERVICE)

Manage your own user account password. Your password will be automatically validated against the
defined password lifecycle and complexity policies.

8
USER ACCOUNT LOCKING

Lock user accounts as an administrator. If you lock a user account, you will be temporarily preventing
the user from logging in with that user account. You can also unlock a locked user account.

ENHANCED ROLE VISUALIZATION

View only certain components of a role in the graphic visualizer. You can view only the privileges,
aggregate privileges or roles assigned to a role. You can also view the graphic visualizer in full screen
mode and pan over a specific region in the graph.

For complex roles, these features enable you to reduce the amount of information visualized and to
focus on the area within the role hierarchy that requires your attention.

TABULAR ROLE HIERARCHY VIEW

View role hierarchies in a tabular view. You can switch between the graphic visualizer view and the
tabular view. You can also export the data you view in the tabular view.

SEARCH IN ROLE HIERARCHY VISUALIZATION

Search and quickly locate security artifacts (nodes) in the role hierarchy visualization. You can search for
privileges, roles or users in the visualization.

USER NAME GENERATION RULES

Define user name generation rules that will be used to auto-generate the user name when a user is
created. You can define user name generation rules to be based on the user’s first and last names, first
initial plus last name, e-mail or person or party number. You can also choose to use a system generated
user name if the rule fails to generate a user name.

PASSWORD POLICIES

Define policies for password management. These policies can define the duration for various password
lifecycle events like password expiration and password warning generation. You can also set the
complexity of generated passwords by choosing from a pre-defined list of rules.

NOTIFICATION TEMPLATES

Define custom notification templates for your user account life cycle events. You can also use pre-
defined notification templates. These templates will be used to generate notifications for events like
user account created, user password reset and user password expiry warning.

9
UPGRADE-SAFE MANAGEMENT OF FACTORY SHIPPED ROLES

Identify a predefined (factory shipped) Oracle role when viewing the role. Predefined Oracle roles are
locked and you cannot customize the Oracle delivered functional and data security policies associated
with these roles. You can, however, add data security policies to these roles.

BRIDGE FOR MICROSOFT ACTIVE DIRECTORY

Simplify Single Sign-On with Microsoft Active Directory by downloading and installing the Active
Directory Bridge from the Security Console. Automatically synchronize user account information
between Oracle Fusion Applications Security and Microsoft Active Directory.

USER PASSWORD CHANGES AUDIT REPORT

Generate a report that lists password changes made by users. The report can be generated for changes
made by specific users or for all changes made during a specific period.

INTEGRATE CUSTOM IDENTITY MANAGEMENT SOLUTION

Integrate optionally with your Identity Management solution for user and role management using
industry standard System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) REST APIs and ATOM feeds.

PASSWORD RESET

Enhance password reset flow. Now a notification email will be sent to the user who requests a password
reset. The user will be required to click on this link within a specific period of time to change the
password. This replaces the previous flow where users were required to answer a series of challenge
questions to reset the password.

SECURITY CONSOLE

Streamline use of some of the functionality that you have used in the past with the Security Console.
The Security Console now includes the following functionality:

• IT Security Managers manage all User Account information such as password, lock and
unlock are managed in the security console.
• IT Security Managers manage roles directly in the Security Console. They no longer use
Oracle Identity Manager or Authorization Policy Manager.
• Privileges are predefined by Oracle and are no longer created or managed by the user.
• You can now view, create or change roles without first selecting an application.
• Resources are now granted through privilege and are no longer granted directly to Roles.

10
HCM SECURITY

HCM Security includes enhancements to person security profiles, new-person task flows, role mappings,
the Retrieve Latest LDAP Changes process, predefined job and abstract roles, and security setup.

PERSON SECURITY PROFILES SUPPORT AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY

Improve performance by securing person records in person security profiles based on areas of
responsibility, without having to write custom SQL. The Person Security Profiles pages are redesigned to
accommodate areas of responsibility, and a Description field is added. A new Preview page is provided
where you can test the access provided by the security profile and review the SQL predicate generated
by the selected security criteria. Related import and export services and audit of person security profiles
support areas of responsibility. Existing person security profiles are unaffected by these enhancements.

HCM DATA ROLES SUPPORT AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY

Secure access to person records based on areas of responsibility while creating HCM Data Roles. The
new Area of Responsibility section appears on the Assign Security Profiles to Role: Person Security
Profile page when you create or edit an HCM data role that accesses person records.

ROLE PROVISIONING SUPPORTS AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY

Manage base autoprovisioning of roles on assigned areas of responsibility. Role mappings now include a
Responsibility Type condition. The Autoprovision Roles for All Users process can now create requests to
add and remove roles based on a user’s areas of responsibility.

ACCESS TO FUTURE-DATED PERSON RECORDS

Control user access to future-dated person records using the new Include Future People option in
person security profiles, which is deselected by default. Select the option to enable user access to
future-dated person records that satisfy all other criteria in the security profile.

INCLUDE RELATED CONTACTS OPTION NO LONGER ON PERSON SECURITY PROFILES

Simplify management of person security profiles with the removal of the Include Related Contacts
option. You no longer need to select this option to allow access to a worker’s contacts. Access to a
worker’s record generally includes access to the worker’s contacts.

NEW LOCATION FOR ROLES INFORMATION IN NEW-HIRE TASK FLOWS

Streamline new-person task flows with the removal of the Roles page. Information about roles for new
hires now appears in the Roles section on the Compensation and Other Information page.

11
PROVISION ROLES AUTOMATICALLY TO ORACLE SERVICE CLOUD EXTERNAL CONTACTS

Automate provisioning of roles to Oracle Service Cloud external contacts with the addition of the
Contact Role attribute to role mappings. This enhancement is specific to Oracle Sales Cloud customers.

REDUCED FREQUENCY FOR THE RETRIEVE LATEST LDAP CHANGES PROCESS

Run the Retrieve Latest LDAP Changes Process only to correct data integrity issues or synchronize data
among security components. For example, you run the process if you perform an LDIF (LDAP Data
Interchange Format) load for new users. You no longer need to schedule the process to run daily.

REDUNDANT PRIVILEGES REMOVED FROM PREDEFINED JOB AND ABSTRACT ROLES

Streamline security administration with the removal of the Copy Personal Data to LDAP and Send User
Name Request to LDAP function security privileges from the Line Manager and Human Resource
Specialist roles. Both roles continue to inherit these privileges from the Manage User Account and Link
User Name to Person aggregate privileges. Therefore, their removal causes no loss of access.

USER AND ROLE PROVISIONING OPTIONS MOVED TO THE SECURITY CONSOLE

Control the default format of user names by setting User Preferences on the Security Console
Administration tab. Specify whether users receive their sign-in details by setting Notification
Preferences on the Security Console Administration tab. The enterprise-level options Default User
Name Format and Send User Name and Password no longer appear on the Manage Enterprise HCM
Information page.

DEFAULT USER NOTIFICATION PREFERENCES MANAGED ON THE SECURITY CONSOLE

Control the default behavior of User Notification Preferences on the Create User page from the Security
Console. If notification preferences are enabled on the Security Console and an appropriate notification
template exists, then the Send User Name and Password option on the Create User page can be
selected. If notification preferences are not enabled on the Security Console, then the Send User Name
and Password option on the Create User page is disabled and cannot be selected.

RESET PASSWORD LINK REPLACES GENERATED TEMPORARY PASSWORDS

Simplify user access to accounts by including a reset password link rather than a generated temporary
password in user account notifications that require a password change.

12
CHANGED BEHAVIOR OF THE CREDENTIALS SENT INDICATOR

Enforce accurate setting of the Credentials Sent indicator, which can be set once only for any user. The
Credentials Sent indicator is now set whenever an attempt is made to send a user name and password
to a user, regardless of whether the attempt succeeds. Ensure that all attempts succeed by confirming
that notification preferences are enabled on the Security Console and that appropriate notification
templates exist whenever user credentials are to be sent.

USER ACCOUNTS NO LONGER CREATED AUTOMATICALLY FOR USERS LOADED IN BULK

Control the automatic creation of user accounts and notification of user credentials for users loaded in
bulk. From this release, the GeneratedUserAccountFlag and SendCredentialsEmailFlag attributes of the
Worker object default to N (No). Set them to Y (Yes) for selected workers to create user accounts and
send notifications.

ALTERNATE CONTACT E-MAIL ADDRESS NO LONGER ON THE USER INTERFACE

Specify an alternate contact e-mail address for users loaded in bulk by setting the
CredentailsEmailAddress attribute of the Worker object. You can no longer specify an alternate contact
e-mail address for the enterprise on the Manage Enterprise HCM Information page.

13
HCM DATA LOADER

HCM Data Loader provides a flexible and efficient method of bulk loading business object data for data-
migration and on-going incremental updates to Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud.

ESTIMATED TIME TO COMPLETE LOAD

Streamline the loading of large data volumes by monitoring the progress of the load and the estimated
time for the load to complete. The Import and Load Data page includes a load progress icon for each
business object. When you click the icon, a progress dialog box now opens. Here you can see the
percentage of objects processed so far and, for in-progress loads, the estimated time to complete
loading. This information is refreshed automatically every 15 seconds until load processing is complete.

SPREADSHEET DATA LOADING

Simplify bulk data loading using HCM Data Loader spreadsheets for all business objects that HCM Data
Loader supports. Use the predelivered spreadsheet templates, copy and edit the templates, or create
your own templates from scratch to include just the attributes needed for your use case. The
spreadsheet templates are fully configurable. You can specify your own column order, column headings,
help tips, attribute validation, and default values. You can enter your data in the spreadsheet generated
from the template and upload it directly from there. Any errors are reported in the spreadsheet, where
you can correct and reprocess failed records.

NEW SOURCE KEY OBJECT TO ENABLE UPDATE OF SOURCE KEYS

Update existing source key values, including default source keys, using the new Source Key object from
HCM Data Loader.

JOB FAMILY CODE ATTRIBUTE ADDED TO THE JOB FAMILY OBJECT

Specify a non-translatable job family code to identify a job family uniquely.

AUTOMATED POST-LOAD PROCESSING FOR WORKER

Automate post-load processing when you load workers using HCM Data Loader. The Refresh Manager
Hierarchy and Update Person Search Keywords processes are now initiated automatically.

ABILITY TO BULK LOAD BANK, BANK BRANCH, AND EXTERNAL BANK ACCOUNT

Load bank, bank branch, and external bank account objects using HCM Data Loader.

14
HCM SPREADSHEET DATA LOADER

HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader provides a flexible and efficient method of bulk loading business object
data for data-migration and on-going incremental updates to Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud.

NEW TASKS TO ACCESS HCM SPREADSHEET DATA LOADER

Manage and use HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader using two new tasks, Manage Spreadsheet Templates
and Run Spreadsheet Data Loader. Access these tasks in the Data Exchange work area when the HCM
Data Loader Scope parameter is set to Full.

VALUE SET VALIDATION SUPPORTED FOR SPREADSHEET COLUMNS

Configure attributes in HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader spreadsheets to provide a choice list or
searchable list of values based on a value set.

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS FOR SPECIFYING DEFAULT VALUES

Enhance the specification of default values for selected attributes when designing spreadsheet
templates to support bulk data loading. For date attributes, the default value can now be the load date
of the spreadsheet row. For all attribute types, you can specify a groovy expression to derive the
attribute value.

UPDATING FIRST START DATE AND LAST END DATE

Change the start and end dates of an existing object when providing bulk updates using HCM
Spreadsheet Data Loader.

LOADING TRANSLATION DATA WITH THE BASE OBJECT

Improve the efficiency of bulk data loading using HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader by including attributes
from the associated translation objects in spreadsheets designed for the base-language objects.

15
HCM COMMON FEATURES

This section contains features delivered across all applications.

DEEP LINKS

Open pages immediately without navigating through the menu structure using the Deep Links feature.
This capability is most useful if you have corporate internal portals and you want to enable direct
navigation from the portals into the Fusion HCM Application for your employees. For example, you can
enable direct navigation to the Payslips, Personal Information, Absence Entry, Directory Search, My
Team page and other pages.

INITIATE TASKS QUICKLY FROM THE QUICK ACTIONS PAGE

Initiate actions quickly for yourself or a person within your person security profile, without having to be
familiar with the different work areas. The Quick Actions page is available for the predefined employee
and contingent worker roles where you can view and access actions available to you according to all
your roles (for example, employee, line manager, and human resource specialist). This means that if you
are an employee and an HR specialist the quick actions will include actions for both roles. Using this
feature, you can quickly edit your own personal information or promote a direct report.

16
HCM EXTRACTS

USE WEBCENTER CONTENT DELIVERY OPTION

Use the updated delivery option name of WebCenter Content which replaces HCM Connect to create
extracts with encrypted or non-encrypted data and transmit them to Oracle WebCenter Content.

CAPTURE REQUIRED DELIVERY OPTIONS

Capture the delivery options you require to run successfully in order for the extract run to succeed. Also
capture the delivery options that are not required for the successful completion of the extract run. If a
delivery option is not critical, then you have the option to mark it as not required.

MANAGE CHANGES ONLY EXTRACTS EFFICIENTLY

Manage your extracts in a more efficient way by using the Include Changes from Last Successful Run
option. Selecting this option excludes the extract runs that did not complete successfully when you ran a
changes only extract.

DISPLAY HIDDEN PARAMETERS EASILY

Display parameters that are automatically hidden using a new option for extract definitions.

IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AND USE LESS STORAGE BY RUNNING BASELINE EXTRACT

Improve the performance of your extract runs by using the new Baseline Only parameter. It creates a
full extract in less time and uses less storage in your application.

IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AND USE LESS STORAGE BY DELETING ARCHIVES

Free up storage space in your application and improve performance by using the new Delete Archive
parameter. Discard archive data and XML files after the application delivers them to their destination in
order to use less storage space.

17
HCM COMMON TRANSACTIONAL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

Oracle Fusion Transactional Business Intelligence is a real time, self-service reporting solution offered to
all Oracle Fusion application users to create ad hoc reports and analyze them for daily decision-making.
Oracle Fusion Transactional Business Intelligence provides human resources managers and specialists,
business executives, and line managers the critical workforce information to analyze workforce costs,
staffing, compensation, performance management, talent management, succession planning, and
employee benefits.

OBIEE ANSWERS ENHANCEMENT: SUBJECT AREA SEARCH

Enhance your ability to search for columns within the subject areas with the new search option. With
this enhancement you can enter a value with wildcards to search for columns that match with the
entered value.

OBIEE ANSWERS ENHANCEMENT: SAVE A COLUMN

Enhance your reporting capabilities with create, save and re-use of the calculated metrics in Answers.
