Set Up Oracle Search for HCM

You need to configure profile options and run the initial data ingestion process to set up Oracle Search index, which is the foundation of Oracle Search based Global Search.

Set Oracle Search Profile Options

1. Navigate to Home > Setup and Maintenance > Manage Administrator Profile Values.
2. Search for and review the following profile options. Set the values with the corresponding level if not set already.

   Profile Option Code	Profile Display Name	Application	Module	Profile Level	Profile Value
   ORA_FND_SEARCH_EXT_ENABLED	Enable/Disable Search Ext Framework	Oracle Middleware Extensions for Applications	Oracle Middleware Extensions for Applications	Site	Yes
   HRC_ELASTIC_SEARCH_ENABLED	HRC: Enable Elastic Search	HCM Common Architecture	Search Framework	Site	Y
   PER_SEARCH_LOGIN_EVENT_PUB	PER: User Login Event Publication for Search	Global Human Resources	Security	Site	ATOM

Run Initial Data Ingestion

1. Navigate to Tools > Scheduled Processes.
2. Run the ESS job described in this table.
   Note: If you need to set up the index for a feature, select the relevant parameter value. For example, fa-hcm-person for person search or fa-hcm-position for positions search. If you’re setting up multiple indices, then you need to run multiple processes with different index name parameters.

   Job Name	Parameter Name	Parameter Value
   ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS	Index Name to Reingest	<index_name> For example: fa-hcm-person

   This process is secured with FND_MANAGE_SCHEDULED_JOB_DEFINITION_PRIV function privilege. The privilege is available in the ORA_FND_APPLICATION_ADMINISTRATOR_JOB or ORA_FND_APPLICATION_DEVELOPER_JOB job roles.

You must run the initial data ingestion process for every created index after upgrading to a new release.

Refresh Indexes after P2T
