  6. Click Import Extract to import the pre-defined Oracle HCM Cloud extract definition XML files.

    When importing the extract definitions, the extract name must be same as the first name of the file name. For example, when importing "PBCS Assignment Data_1902.xml," the extract name must be specified as "EPBCS Assignment Data_1902."

  7. Import all the pre-defined Oracle HCM Cloud extract definitions:

    • EPBCS Account Merit Metadata—EPBCS Account Merit Metadata_<Release>.xml

    • EPBCS Assignment Data—EPBCS Assignment Data_<Release>.xml

    • EPBCS Component Salary Metadata—EPBCS Component Salary Metadata_<Release>.xml

    • EPBCS Employee Metadata—EPBCS Employee Metadata_<Release>.xml

    • EPBCS Entity Metadata—EPBCS Entity Metadata_<Release>.xml

    • EPBCS Job Metadata—EPBCS Job Metadata_<Release>.xml

    • EPBCS Location Metadata—EPBCS Location Metadata_<Release>.xml

    • EPBCS Position Metadata—EPBCS Position Metadata_<Release>.xml

You can import only the extract definitions that you plan to load from Oracle HCM Cloud, or all extracts even if you are not using them. All XML files that are loaded need to be "compiled" after all files are loaded. See Submitting the Oracle HCM Cloud Extract Definition.
