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 select Workforce Analytics, then select Workforce Analytics Setup, then select Run Workforce Groups Jobstream. To process EPM Role Security based on the group set that you generated, selectselect EPM Foundation, then select EPM Security, then select Advanced, then select Request Security Processing.

Understanding 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.

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:

WA_GROUPSET_F00

Contains group set and associated groups.

WA_GRPSETAR_F00

Contains all direct reports for each group in the group set. For example, a group created for the department at the top of the Organization tree would have everyone attached to the organization tree in it.

WA_GROUP_F00

Contains all direct reports for each group. This is the same output table as for the Build Workforce Groups process.

WA_GRPSTMGR_F00

Contains the groups and manager IDs for the groups.
