This appendix covers the following topics:
During implementation, set a value for each Resource Manager profile option to specify how Resource Manager controls access to and processes data.
See: Oracle E-Business Suite Setup Guide.
Profile options are grouped into one or more profile option categories enabling you to view only the profile options that pertain to your application or function.
Resource Manager Categories
Resource Manager Profile Options
This section describes profile options by category.
The tables in this section provide profile option information as follows:
The Default column displays either the default profile option value in italics, or No Default if none exists.
The User Access column indicates whether you can view or update the profile option.
The System Administration: Site, Application, Responsibility, and User columns indicate at which levels the system administrator can update these profile options.
The key for each table is:
Update: You can update the profile option.
View Only: You can view the profile option but cannot change it.
No Access: You cannot view or change the profile option.
The table below lists the profile options that control the security features of Resource Manager.
Profile Option | Default | User Access | System Administration: Site | System Administration: Application | System Administration: Responsibility | System Administration: User |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
JTFRS: Employee Resource Update Access | Self | View Only | Update | Update | Update | Update |
JTFRS: Group Update Access | None | View Only | Update | Update | Update | Update |
JTFRS: Hide Sensitive HR Data | Yes | Update | Update | Update | Update | Update |
JTFRS: Resource Lookup Audience | Admin | Update | Update | Update | Update | Update |
JTFRS: Restrict Group Update | No | Update | Update | Update | Update | Update |
JTFRS: Role Update Access | None | View Only | Update | Update | Update | Update |
This profile option sets the security around updating employee information in the Resource Manager. If set to Self, only the employee can update their own information. If set to Any, others, including a System Administrator, can update the employee information, including overriding any previous values in the profile option: Resource Lookup Audience.
This profile option sets the security around updating groups, including hierarchies. If set to None, then only the Administrator or manager can update their group and any other group following their group in the hierarchy. If set to All, then the user can update any group hierarchy in the site.
This profile option is used to optionally hide sensitive and sometimes confidential employee resource data such as the home address information. This information appears in the Miscellaneous tab of the Define Resource Form and when clicking the View button in that form. When set to Yes, sensitive employee resource information does not appear in the Miscellaneous tab of the Define Resource Form and when clicking the View button in that form. When set to No, sensitive employee resource information is exposed to those portions of the Resource Manager UI.
This profile option controls what the user views in the Resource Details window and in the Advanced Search. If set to Admin, then the user can query in the Advanced Search using the additional fields of Resource number and Salesperson number. If set to General, then the user is sees and searches on limited fields.
Use this profile option to restrict group update access. It is used in HTML Resource Manager only. If it is changed to Yes, then a group member with Manager or Admin member role cannot update group header and usage information in the HTML Update Group page.
This profile is used to control the access to the Role HTML windows. The Resource Self Service Administrator responsibility level is set to the All value. If set to None, then it is Read-Only access to the Role windows. You can search and view all the roles. If set to All, then the user can create, update non-seeded roles, delete non-seeded roles, search, and view roles.
The table below lists the profile options that control the Resource Manager setup features.
Profile Option | Default | User Access | System Administration: Site | System Administration: Application | System Administration: Responsibility | System Administration: User |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
JTFRS: Business Group for Synchronizing Employees | All | Update | Update | Update | Update | Update |
JTFRS: Cascade Skill Rating Rules | Only_Cat | Update | Update | Update | Update | Update |
JTFRS: Mode of Salesperson Number Creation | Employee Number | Update | Update | Update | Update | Update |
JTFRS: Resource active days after termination of source | 30 days | Update | Update | Update | Update | Update |
JTFRS: Server Group Check Flag | Yes | Update | Update | Update | Update | Update |
JTFRS: Synchronize Employees as of date (MM/DD/YYYY) | None | Update | Update | Update | Update | Update |
Use this profile option to determine whether to synchronize employees from all or only in the current business groups. If it is set to Current, then it will synchronize the employees only in the current business groups which are derived from the profile option "HR: Business Group".
This profile is provided the rules that will be used to cascade the skills from top level to botton. For example when a employee rates the skill at category level, it can create the ratings for the to all the product under the category, depending on the profile value.
This profile option specifies the mode used to generate a salesperson number during the automatic creation of a sales person. When Employee Number is selected the salesperson number is identical to the employee number. When Sequence Generated is selected, the salesperson number is autogenerated by a newly created Sequence. When Manually is selected, the implementor must manually enter the salesperson number. If no creation number is specified for the selected resources, then the import process fails.
This profile is used when end dating a resource of type Partner or employee. It allows a set period of days for the resource to stay active after termination. Set at Site level. When set to x days the resource has that many days to stay active in the system.
This profile is used to identify tables for Email Center (product) which should be used to validate the type for the value of the resource parameter. If value is 'No' then iem_email_accounts table is used, otherwise, jtf_rs_email_accounts_v and jtf_rs_resource_params are used.
Synchronization for update employees will be based on this profile option. If it is not set (Null), then the program assumes the value as sysdate. System administrators must enter the date in MM/DD/YYYY format; otherwise, the synchronization will fail. Additionally, the profile value should be greater than the previous run date such as 01-01-2005 to 01-02-2005, but it cannot be a future date. If an employee is not active in Oracle HRMS as of sysdate, Resource Manager will end date the employee resource. System administrators need to run the Synchronize Employee concurrent program as of sysdate to synchronize all other attributes with latest details.
