This article uses the GB (United Kingdom) verion of the API. The name of this API is hr_employee_api.create_gb_employee.
There is a bit of uncertainty whether fusion will use Oracle HRMS or Peoplesoft HRMS & Payroll.
Yet, most of the readers request me to write about Oracle HRMS.
First lets begin with questions and answers....
Question : Where is people data stored in Oracle HRMS?
Answer : It is stored in table named per_all_people_f
Question: But there is a table named per_people_f too?
Answer : WRONG. Per_people_f is a view on top of per_all_people_f. This view filters the list of records from per_all_people_f.
This filtration happens in the where clause of view, based on security profile of the responsibility being used by user.
Question : What then is per_people_x?
Answer : This is a view on top of per_people_f, and it displays only those date tracked records that are effective as of sysdate.
Lets say you wish to create a person record of following data
Last name : Passi
First name : Anil
Title : MR.
NI Number : PX374383D
Date of birth 12-jan-1982
Person type : Employee
Employee number 90909090
Please note the following:-
1. This example demonstrates creation of Employee named Anil Passi with Employee Number 90909090.
In your case, you will be looping through the Legacy data and calling the below Oracle HRMS API to create Employee.
2. You may need to map following codes of Legacy system with values in Oracle HRMS
Nationality
Ethinicity
Sex
Title
3. This migration activity will most probably be followed by creation or migration of Assignment records.
4. Copy past the code below, and run in your environment to see this work. However, do not forget to change the business group name.
5. For non-UK implementers, you will need to use non GB version of the API.
DECLARE
x_emp_num VARCHAR2(200) := '90909090' ;
x_business_id INTEGER;
x_person_type_id INTEGER;
x_validate_mode BOOLEAN := FALSE;
x_person_id INTEGER ;
x_assignment_id INTEGER ;
x_per_object_version_number NUMBER;
x_asg_object_version_number NUMBER;
x_per_effective_start_date DATE;
x_per_effective_end_date DATE;
x_full_name VARCHAR2(300);
x_per_comment_id NUMBER;
x_assignment_sequence NUMBER;
x_assignment_number VARCHAR2(10);
x_name_combination_warning BOOLEAN := FALSE;
x_assign_payroll_warning BOOLEAN := FALSE;
x_orig_hire_warning BOOLEAN := FALSE;
BEGIN
SELECT business_id
INTO x_business_id
FROM per_business_groups
WHERE NAME = '<<Your Business Group name or Setup Business Group>>';
SELECT ppt.person_type_id
INTO x_person_type_id
FROM per_person_types ppt
WHERE ppt.business_id = x_business_id
AND ppt.user_person_type = 'Employee';
hr_employee_api.create_gb_employee(p_validate => x_validate_mode
,p_hire_date => SYSDATE -- In this case
,p_business_id => x_business_id
,p_last_name => 'Passi'
,p_sex => 'M'
,p_person_type_id => x_person_type_id
,p_date_of_birth => '12-JAN-1982'
,p_employee_number => x_emp_num
,p_first_name => 'Anil'
,p_known_as => ''
,p_marital_status => ''
,p_middle_names => ''
,p_ni_number => 'PX374383D'
,p_previous_last_name => ''
,p_title => 'MR.'
,p_original_date_of_hire => SYSDATE
,p_person_id => x_person_id
,p_assignment_id => x_assignment_id
,p_per_object_version_number => x_per_object_version_number
,p_asg_object_version_number => x_asg_object_version_number
,p_per_effective_start_date => x_per_effective_start_date
,p_per_effective_end_date => x_per_effective_end_date
,p_full_name => x_full_name
,p_per_comment_id => x_per_comment_id
,p_assignment_sequence => x_assignment_sequence
,p_assignment_number => x_assignment_number
,p_name_combination_warning => x_name_combination_warning
,p_assign_payroll_warning => x_assign_payroll_warning
,p_orig_hire_warning => x_orig_hire_warning
);
COMMIT ;
END;
Now, lets check the results, by running the below SQL
SELECT person_id
,employee_number
,first_name
,last_name
,full_name
,date_of_birth
FROM per_all_people_f
WHERE creation_date > SYSDATE - 1;
Now, lets have a look at this record from the Oracle HRMS People Entry Screen

I am doing Employee assignment conversion. after your people migration.So I am updating default assignment but in some cases one person having more than one assignment also so how i can handle history recrods and multiple assignments.

I am trying to upload employee data into per_all_people_ f and per_all_assignm ents_f using hr_in_employee_ api and hr_in_assignmen t_api for India Localization. On using create_in_emplo yee a default primary assignment is created automatically. Now how do I update the primary assignment created by hr_in_employee_ api.
In hr_in_assignmen t_api there are two procedure to create a secondary assignment or to update the primary assignment. I do not want to create a secondary assignment but in update procedure jobs, position, grade and payroll are not given. Then how do i go updating the primary assignment.
Your inputs would be higly appriciated.

I am starting the career in apps. I am having a generic question.How to know what are the mandatory parameters that are required to be passed for an api. Most of the times even though we pass all the parameters which are not defaulted, i am getting this error
thanks

Hi Madhu
You are seeing a ORA error for passed parameters, which means the issue is with syntax rather than business validation.
Email me your script, I will have a look.
Than ks,

im new to oracle HRMS, could you please send me any interface examples with the validations, to practice
i am new to oracle apps.
I had a doubt.
usually in migration or conversion,we have an interface table which we populate before the data is populate in base tables through open interfaces.rt?
here in people data migration which is the interface table,open interface?
is per_all_people_ f the base table?
Thanks for the early response.I did understand the use of API but a little confused about the sequence of operation.
Con sidering the case of multiple records to be populated ,correct me if i am wrong.
1.load data onto temporary table using sql loader .
2.load data from temporary table onto base table(per_all_p eople_f) using hr_employee_api .create_us_empl oyee.
the confusion is:
1.Is this the sequence?
2. Dont we use any interface table here?
Please help me out on this.Every input of yours would be highly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Wat if i have more than one Assignment?Say i have three Assignments.Now the moment i'l create an Employee ,automatically an assignment wd be created for him,and i need to update this assignment..rig ht.
But out of my three assignments how can i choose which assignment shoud be updated which two shd be created as secondary assignments..
Ur help wd be Appreciated
Ans 1
----------
Ye s thats correct, you will have to update the default assignment.
An s 2
----------
Th is will be driven by your business requirement. In case you are migrating data, there must be some equivalent column/attribut e in the legacy data to indicate which assignment is primary.
Furt her related info
---------- -------------
S econdary assignments can be created using API as below [use the API specific to your localization]
hr_assignment_a pi.create_gb_se condary_emp_asg
Also, you can alter the primary flag on assignment, by calling below API
hr_assignment_a pi.set_new_prim ary_asg(p_valid ate => p_validate,
p_effective_dat e => :p_effective_dat e,
p_person_id => :p_person_id,
p_assignment_id => :p_assignment_i d,
p_object_versio n_number => :p_object_versio n_number,
p_effective_sta rt_date => :p_effective_sta rt_date,
p_effective_end _date => :p_effective_end _date);
Thanks,

I have one question regarding the API's. Why we have 2 update procedures in HR_ASSIGNMENT_A PI. Like HR_ASSIGNMENT_A PI.UPDATE_EMP_ASG and HR_ASSIGNMENT_A PI.UPDATE_EMP_ASG_CRITERIA ?
one of my requirement in HRMS is to send an alert message to a group of users,
whenever user updates the "projected" column on end employment form.
(In HRMS the Navigation path is FASTPATH -> end employment)
i can create an "after update" event alert to achieve the desired result.which fires
when they update the record. but i need to send an alert only when they update the
"projected" column on the End employment form(IN HRMS fastpath->end employment form).
but not when they update other columns on the End employment form.
"After update alert" fires when they update the record. but how to identify whether
they modified the "projected" column on End employment form.
(which is "PROJECTED_TERM INATION_DATE" column in per_periods_of_ service).
Keep up your good work
Thanks for your help. highly Appreciated.
Excellent startup article. I am a beginner with oracle apps & its architecture and currently working on an Oracle HRMS implementation. Your article has helped alot.
I would need some more insight to Data Conversion Analysis Exercise.

Could you tell me if there is an API that take user_id and return employees that belong to this user ??
i wait your answer,
thanks in advance,
format it is very urgent plz help me
I need some urgent help from you please, am leaving to India this weekend and have to finish this API task before I leave.I'm no too familiar with HR ,I know its very complex mainly because of date tracking functionality.
My question is I need to write an API that would replace the existing manual process in place :
HR once a year manually populate the Assignment screen the Descriptive ff (salary Manager Descriptive FF --> ASS_ATTRIBUTE10 column of Per_assignments _f table).
I need to write an API that can up upload that field from the spreadsheet (Spread sheet provides Employee Number, Salary Manager and Effective Date information and with that information the API should be able topopulate the descriptive ff column).
Effec tive Date is the key when writing the API.Based on the effective date ,the API must be able to "update" and not "correct" the existing record-- this will create a new assignment starting on the effective date of the change.In addition ,if there is a new assignment record that began after the effective date of this change,the program must be able to"Insert" a new assignment record and not "Replace" any future records.
Thank s a lot for your help ,I just have two days to finish this ,and have minimal knowledge on HR tables.Your help would be greate appreciated.
There is any way of updating an emloyees salary.
Thanks.
Thanx for sharing such a valuable information. I'm new to HRMS. I want to load employees data which is in Excel into Oracle HRMS. Please guide me how to migrate data from Excel into Apps.
Thanx
I have written a script to unenddate secondary assignment. The assignment is not updating - i'm using Hr_Assignment_A pi.UPDATE_US_EM P_ASG. Am I using the wrong api?
Also, I send you my script via email.
Thanks for all your help,
Vivian
