Running the Group, Group Set, and Security Processes
You run the Standalone WF Groups (standalone workforce groups) jobstream and the Group Set jobstream from the Workforce Groups process page. To access the Workforce Groups process page, select
To process EPM Role Security based on the group set that you generated, selectUnderstanding Workforce Group and Group Set Processes
The following table summarizes the various delivered jobstreams, jobs, and engines that you can run for workforce groups and groups sets and describes their purpose:
Jobstream ID and Name |
Job ID and Name |
Engine ID and Name |
Program ID / Name |
Purpose |
---|---|---|---|---|
WA_BLDGRPS / Standalone WF Groups |
WA_BLDGRPS / Build Workforce Groups WF_GP_MRG / Standalone WF Groups |
WA_BLDGRPS / Build Workforce Groups MERGE / Final Table Merge |
WA_BLDGRPS / Build Workforce Groups PF_MERGE / Final Table Merge |
Run this jobstream to build the workforce groups. This is an optional step for verifying the population of the group or verifying that the constraint obtains the right group. You can run this jobstream before you use the groups in an application. The results of the process are not used in any other processing. |
WA_GROUPST / Group Set |
WA_GROUPST / Group Set Job WA_GPST_MG / Group Set Merge |
WA_GROUPST / Group Set Job MERGE / Final Table Merge |
WA_GROUPSET / WA Group Set PF_MERGE / Final Table Merge |
Run this jobstream to create group sets and associated security role definitions. |
Group and Group Set Primary Output Tables
When you run the Build Workforce Groups process as a standalone process, the final output table is the WA_GROUP_F00 table.
In Workforce Planning, the Match process calls the Build Workforce Groups process to create the group during scenario processing. This is also the case for the Workforce Rewards Retention Assignment, Workforce Simulation, and Compensation Planning and Simulation processes. In these cases, the final output table is the WA_GROUP_F00 table, but the group results you see may differ from the original group definition.
The output tables for the WA Group Set process (WA_GROUPSET) are:
