B Frequently Asked Questions

The Oracle Fusion HCM AnalyticsFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs) provide answers to the most commonly asked questions about provide solutions to improve your analytics experience.

Topics

• Can I bring additional data security-related objects from Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications into Fusion Data Intelligence to set up custom data security in Fusion Data Intelligence?
• Can I stop the data pipeline from rejecting data inconsistencies or log data inconsistencies?
• How do I enable easy data access to people leaders such as line managers?
• For a given person there are two events that happened in Fusion HCM Analytics for the month of October, for example Oct 1st - Grade change , Oct 31st - Job Department, designation change. After creating a report using person number column and HCM - Workforce Core.Assignment Information.Assignment Start Date it only shows the record related to 31st October designation change. What is the reason for seeing only the latest event and not both the events for the month of October?

Can I bring additional data security-related objects from Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications into Fusion Data Intelligence to set up custom data security in Fusion Data Intelligence?

On the Console, under Applications, in Human Capital Management, when you create a pipeline for the Security Configuration Data functional area in the HCM Security Configurations offering, Fusion Data Intelligence gets additional data from Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications (Cloud HCM). You can set up custom data security leveraging this new data.

This pipeline brings data from these Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications (Cloud HCM) objects and populates these tables in Fusion Data Intelligence:

Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Object	Corresponding Fusion Data Intelligence Table
Area of Responsibility	DW_ASG_RESPONSIBILITY_D
Department hierarchy row flattened details	DW_DEPARTMENT_RF_DH
Organization hierarchy row flattened details	DW_ORGANIZATION_RF_DH
Tree Version Details (required for Department Hierarchy and Organization Hierarchy based security configurations)	DW_TREE_VERSION_D

1. Sign in to your service.
2. In Fusion Data Intelligence, click the Navigator.
3. In the Navigator menu, click Console.
4. On the Console, click Data Configuration under Application Administration.
5. On the Data Configuration page, click Human Capital Management.
6. On the service page, click Create, select HCM Security Configurations in Offering, select Security Configuration Data in Functional Area, and then click Next.
   
   
   
   
7. Review the parameters and click one of the options:
   • Cancel: To cancel the data pipeline for the functional area.
   • Save: To save the data pipeline for the functional area but not activate it.
   • Activate: To schedule when to run the data pipeline for the functional area. See Activate a Data Pipeline for a Functional Area.

Can I stop the data pipeline from rejecting data inconsistencies or log data inconsistencies?

Yes, you can stop the data pipeline from rejecting data inconsistencies or log data inconsistencies by enabling or disabling the Disable HCM Data Consistencies and Logging preview feature. See Features Available for Preview.

By default, the data pipeline rejects all inconsistent source data and doesn't load such data. When you enable this feature, Fusion HCM Analytics doesn't log the inconsistent data and doesn't reject such data during loading. In order to load records identified as inconsistent records in the source, you must reset all the Fusion HCM Analytics functional areas. When you disable this feature, Fusion HCM Analytics reverts the data pipeline to the default behavior of rejecting inconsistent source data. You must reset the data pipeline for the currently enabled Fusion HCM Analytics functional areas in order to start rejecting all inconsistent records existing in the source.

How do I enable easy data access to people leaders such as line managers?

As a security administrator, you can provide data access to people leaders such as line managers. See Enable Easy Data Access to People Leaders.

For a given person there are two events that happened in Fusion HCM Analytics for the month of October, for example Oct 1st - Grade change , Oct 31st - Job Department, designation change. After creating a report using person number column and HCM - Workforce Core.Assignment Information.Assignment Start Date it only shows the record related to 31st October designation change. What is the reason for seeing only the latest event and not both the events for the month of October?

The headcount metrics are built using a daily snapshot. The snapshot always shows the latest record for the combination of dimension attributes pulled in to the report. In this case, the report will always show the latest Assignment record for every month, hence the 1st October event record is missing.

Note:

When using Headcount metrics, if you need to see the grade change related record, then add grade dimension in to the report to see the person's grade changes. Event-based metrics can also be used for such comparisons. For example, in the report, instead of using Headcount, use a metric from the Facts - Workforce Events folder, such as Assignment Event Headcount.
