Upgrade to Enhanced Dynamic Skills Infrastructure

Allows customers who are currently using Skills Center to upgrade their setup and enable skill management and enrichment in the item catalog.

Enables an implementation user to upgrade skills in user transactions to reference skills in the item catalog, thereby ensuring a curated and consistent experience.

Steps to Enable

To set up the components run the background job Prepare Application for Skills Enrichment (Tools > Scheduled Processes). For more details, see Enabling the Components.

  • The following conditions must be satisfied to run this job in either preview or upgrade mode:
    • Enhanced Talent Profile Management is enabled
    • A Skills Center-subscribed content section already exists with skill transactions
    • All the applications subscribed to the Skills Center-subscribed content section should be on the Redwood user experience
  • The job: 
    • adds skills encountered in Skills Center transactions to the item catalog
    • upgrades existing transaction data in the Skills Center-subscribed content section to reference skills managed item catalog skills using the ID of the item catalog skill
    • presents an option "Convert skills that are synonyms into catalog skills", which, if set to Yes, will cause the job to replace any synonyms encountered with the corresponding catalog skill on transactions
    • can be run in preview mode, as always, so you can preview how transactions will be impacted.
  • The job performs the following action to upgrade skills on existing transactions
    • If a skill already exists in the library, regardless of whether it is active or not, a reference (Skill ID) to the library skill is added to the skill on the transaction. If not, a new Skill ID is generated and added to the transaction and this skill may be presented for curation at a later point.

Tips And Considerations

  • You can't switch back to the earlier version after the upgrade is complete.
  • Upgrade will take more time depending on the volume of data and options chosen.
  • Healthcare skills are available in the Oracle Dynamic Skills Seed Library by default and no additional setup is required to enable them.
