Maintaining Oracle Search for Oracle Recruiting

Oracle Search is the default search engine for new and existing customers of Oracle Fusion Cloud Recruiting. Oracle Search needs to be maintained after an upgrade or Production to Test (P2T) or Test to Test (T2T).

With Oracle Search, these features become available:

• Recruiters and hiring managers can find candidate profiles using advanced search filters and boolean expressions.

• Recruiters and Hiring Team members can see candidates that they're responsible for when the Candidate Security for Candidate Search is enabled.

• External candidates can see similar jobs when searching for jobs.

• External candidates can search for jobs using a postal code.

• External candidates can explore jobs using a map view.

• External candidates can see the distance between their selected location and the job location.

• External candidates can use the Work Location, Organization, and Job Requisition filters.

• External candidates can see job requisition flexfield values exposed by recruiters.

Note:

If you’re not using advanced job application filters:

• You don’t need to enable the profile option ORA_IRC_JA_ORACLE_SEARCH_ENABLED.
• You don’t need to run the scheduled process called ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS, with the value fa-hcm-job application in the Index Name to Reingest field.

If you’re using advanced job application filters:

• You need to enable the profile option ORA_IRC_JA_ORACLE_SEARCH_ENABLED.
• You need to run the scheduled process called ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS once you upgrade or after P2T or T2T. In the Index Name to Reingest field, enter the value fa-hcm-job application.

   • Load and Index Candidates with the Drop and Recreate Index indexing mode.
   • Index Job Summary for Each Requisition with the Full mode. This scheduled process is required for the Career Coach Search and Smart Search.
3. Schedule the following processes to run every 15 minutes:
   • Maintain Candidates and Job Requisitions for Search

   • Index Job Summary for Each Requisition with the Incremental mode. This scheduled process is required for the Career Coach Search and Smart Search.
