Understanding Person Data Integration

Oracle provides the tools that allow you to directly integrate person data between CS and HCM systems. The suite of person attributes is transferred primarily by the PERSON_BASIC_SYNC message. The data that comprises the message includes the core person data historically contained in PERSON_BASIC_SYNC, plus CS extension data (such as FERPA) contained in the PERSON_SA message and global subrecords. Ethnicity and diversity information are also part of the integrated person data set. Subscription handlers enable inbound person additions and updates in both CS and HCM. PERSON_BASIC_SYNC can also subscribe to incoming person data from an external source.

Direct integration between CS and HCM requires only the use of Integration Broker to enable and orchestrate the integration. No additional integration mechanism is required.

CS also subscribes to the WORKFORCE_SYNC message to bring job data (mastered in HCM) into CS for those CS processes that require it (such as assigning an instructor to a class).
