Reviewing External Objective Codes

This topic lists a prerequisite and discusses the review of external objective codes.

Prerequisite

Run the COMPETENCY_FULLSYNC1 EIP before reviewing the Objectives External Source table.

Reviewing the Objectives External Source Table

Competency data that you import from your human resources application is stored in an interface table called the Objectives External Source table (LM_OBJV_EXT_SRC). The system uses the data in this table to map external competency codes to objective codes in Enterprise Learning Management.

After you run the COMPETENCY_FULLSYNC1 EIP, review the EIP logs and the Objectives External Source table to ensure that the data has been loaded. You can access this table through PeopleSoft Enterprise Application Designer.

Note: If you use a human resources application other than PeopleSoft, modifications to the EIPs and setup values in the Objectives External Source table are required.

The Objectives External Source table includes the following fields:

Field Name

Description

External Source Code

Identifies the source of the objectives. For example HRCOMP represents PeopleSoft HR.

External Codes

The code that represents the competency in the external system.

External Description

The description of the competency in the external system.

External Message Type

Identifies whether the imported data is the result of an incremental sync or full sync message (1 = full sync and 5 = incremental sync).
