Introduction
For those of you with an EBS background you all must be aware of Diagnostic Tests where in whenever an employee record used to have an issue a SQL script (I guess the name was person.sql was to be executed which used to fetch all details related to the employee.
Something similar to this is also available in Oracle HCM Cloud.
There are many diagnostic tests available but for this article, we would concentrate on “Person Setup Validations ”. This diagnostic test gives a complete view of what all person record related setups are available along with the potential issues.
