How You Roll Back Element Entries

You can roll back element entries by using payroll flows and the Import and Load Data task.

Use Payroll Flow To Roll Back Entries

If you used payroll flows to load an element entry, then you can roll it back using the flow's rollback feature. Use the Initiate Data Loader flow pattern to roll back element entries that you uploaded using the flow pattern.

These steps describe how you initiate a payroll flow to upload element entries.

1. As the first step, you create the ElementEntry.dat file to load your element entries and its values. Also, you must compress it to a file name of your choice.

2. Using the File Import and Export task, you upload the dat file to the Oracle Web Center Content Server. Enter the account as hcm/dataloader/import. You must make a note of the Content ID.

3. From the Checklist or Data Exchange work area, you submit the Initiate Data Loader flow to load and submit the element entries data set. When submitting the flow, provide the Content ID from the previous step.

To roll back your element entry data, on the Payroll Flow page, select the Initiate Data Loader flow. Select Mark as Incomplete from the Actions menu. In the Warning dialog box, click Continue. The application rolls back the newly created element entries.
