How to Ingest External Files Containing Skill Data

You can upload files containing skills data into the AI engine using the Skills Library Training process. This skills data is then used by the Skills Library Enrichment process to discover and suggest skills to add to your skills library.

To use the Skills Library Training process, you need to include the skill data in a JSON file format and upload the file. Skill data can come from one or more of these object types:

  • Requisitions
  • Candidates
  • Applicants
  • Job
  • Skills
  • Person
  • Position
  • Catalog
  • Learning items

You can upload more than one JSON file to a process. Each file must contain data about a specific object type from the above list.

When skill data from these object types is added to the AI object store, the AI engine analyzes this data and fine-tunes the AI skills model to provide better suggestions that are relevant to your business needs.

You need to have the Manage Bulk Skills Library Training privilege (WLF_MANAGE_BULK_SKILLS_LIBRARY_TRAINING) to run this advisor process.

JSON File Specifications

  • Each JSON file should be less than or equal to 512 MB. The file name must be in this format: Source_Objecttype_yyyyMMdd_HHmmss.json.
  • For the object type in the file name, you need to choose from one of these: requisitions, candidates, applicants, job, person, position, catalog, skills, or learning items. For example, a valid file name would be: Oracle_person_20240817_123045.json.
  • The file name must be unique and shouldn’t have been used in any other existing process, including completed processes.
  • The metadata definition in the JSON file must contain these fields: source, object_type, version, and isoCreationDate.

To configure and run this process:

  1. On the My Client Groups > Learning page, click Advisor Processes.
  2. From the Add menu, select Skills Library Training.
  3. Enter a name and description for the process.
  4. Upload a JSON file that contains the data you want to import.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. Select the process and click Run Process.

What to do next

  • After the process completes, you can edit it by changing the name and description or adding more attachments. If you add attachments and run the process again, the attachments uploaded earlier won’t be processed. Only the new attachments will be processed.
  • You can delete a completed process. This won’t retract the data that’s already added to the AI object store.
