Why You Send Personal Data to Identity Store
User accounts for users of Oracle Fusion Applications are maintained on your Identity Store. By default, Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM sends some personal information about users to the Identity Store.
This information includes the person number, person name, phone, and manager of the person's primary assignment. HCM Cloud shares these details to ensure that user account information matches the information about users in HCM Cloud. This topic describes how and when you can send personal information explicitly to your Identity Store.
Bulk Creation of Users
After loading person records using HCM Data Loader, for example, you run the Send Pending LDAP Requests process. This process sends bulk requests for user accounts to the Identity Store.
When you load person records in bulk, the order in which they're created is undefined. Therefore, a person's record may exist before the record for his or her manager. In such cases, the Send Pending LDAP Requests process includes no manager details for the person in the user-account request. The Identity Store information therefore differs from the information that HCM Cloud holds for the person. To correct any differences between these versions of personal details, you run the Send Personal Data for Multiple Users to LDAP process.
The Send Personal Data for Multiple Users to LDAP Process
Send Personal Data for Multiple Users to LDAP updates the Identity Store information to match information held by HCM Cloud. You run the process for either all users or changed users only, as described in this table.
|
User Population |
Description |
|---|---|
|
All users |
The process sends personal details for all users to the Identity Store, regardless of whether they have changed since personal details were last sent. |
|
Changed users only |
The process sends only personal details that have changed since details were last sent to the Identity Store (regardless of how they were sent). This option is the default setting. |
The process doesn't apply to party users.
You must have the Human Capital Management Application Administrator job role to run this process.
Synchronize Personal Data with the Identity Store
Users can synchronize their personal data with the Identity Store from the Manage User Account page. Human resource specialists and line managers can also perform this action for users whose records they can access. By default, personal data changes are copied periodically to the Identity Store directory. However, this action is available for copying changes immediately, if necessary.
