HRMS Configuration Workbench - yes or no?

Does anyone have knowledge of HRMS Configuration Workbench being used for an Oracle HRMS and Payroll implementation?
If so, what are the pros and cons?
And would you recommend it as the preferred method for implementation?
I am about to begin an implementation in the Gulf region, but have never used Workbench before.
Thanks in advance.

Check the following notes, they should be helpful:

HRMS Configuration Workbench - Upload FSA Benefit Elections

Using HRMS Configuration Workbench to upload benefit elections I receive ORA-01403 when trying to load an amount for a FSA plan. I am entering the amount in the "Benefit Val" column on the upload spreadsheet. The following error is generated:
ORA-01403: no data found ORA-01403: no data found in Package BEN_ENROLLMENT_PROCESS Procedure CREATE_ENROLLMENT. The DataPump produces an error whenever an amount for an FSA plan is specified. If FSA plans are set to "Declined" then the Datapump elections are successfully updated.
Our FSA plan has a Standard Rate configuration with "Calculation Method" = "Set Annual Rate Equal to Coverage" a "Coverage" calculation is specified, and the "Calculate Enrollment" box is checked. Our "Coverage Calculation" screen has a "Calculation Method" = "Flat Amount" and the "Enter Value at Enrollment box checked.
Can someone offer some advice?

Why is configuration workbench not used often

Hello all, I am working on an HRMS implementation. Now, the project manager (from client company) has most likely been to some oracle presentation and says the configuration workbench is used to create the company structure. Here is the problem for me, I have never used this in any implementation. Also, I couldn't find a way to modify the key flexfields (like Job, Position) etc and as if this wasn't bad enough, the client implementation requires the creation of numerous additional EITs, SITs etc.
How does a consultant explain not using the configuration workbench? What are the reasons this tool is not typically used (as I have never used or seen anybody use it in 6 years working in oracle hrms)?
Many Thanks

Configuration Workbench is good, and has got quite a bit better over recent releases.
Sure, it doesn't configure everything. But I'm not sure your choice is that black and white: why not use Config Workbench where it helps and do the other config manually. If it doesn't do anything useful for you (unlikely) I'm sure your PM would listen.
This sounds like a good opportunity for you to learn something new as well...

HRMS CONFIGURATION questions

The Configuration guide says.. as below and request your help on the same.
Identify the Recruitment Source Types in your Oracle source system by using the
following SQL:
SELECT
HR_STANDARD_LOOKUPS.LOOKUP_TYPE,
HR_STANDARD_LOOKUPS.LOOKUP_CODE,
HR_STANDARD_LOOKUPS.MEANING
FROM HR_STANDARD_LOOKUPS
WHERE LOOKUP_TYPE = 'REC_TYPE'
-- This step is fine.
Using a text editor, open the domainValues_Recruitment_Source_Type_
oraVersion.csv file located in the $PMServer\LkpFiles directory (for example,
INFA_HOME\server\infa_shared\LkpFiles).
-- done
Copy the Lookup Code and Meaning to the SOURCE_TYPE_CODE and
SOURCE_TYPE_NAME columns in the file respectively. The data must be copied
starting from the sixth line. Use commas to separate the entries.
-- this is done.
Map each Recruitment Source Type (LOOKUP_CODE) to one domain value for
each of the two domain columns - W_SOURCE_TYPE_CODE and W_SOURCE_
TYPE_DESC. The Recruitment Source Type Description (MEANING) is extracted
with the Source Type to help you map the domain values.
-- so where would i get the domain column values??? If some HRMS functional is going to give us.. where would they get it from??? ANY HELP IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
Map each of these additional source types, which are added to W_RCRTMNT_
SOURCE_D table by the extract mapping:
■ Type = IREC; Name = iRecruitment
■ Type = UNKNOWN; Name = unknown
-- What do you mean by additional source types??? is it saying that if we get information from some other sources???
It would be great idea for ORACLE people to give these points in better detail because it reduces dependency on the functional people and probably as a BI guy I can just ask them for validation... pls appreciate any clarifications on the above points..

Strange XMLP implementation on HRMS Compensation Workbench

We are looking to create reports off the Compensation Workbench (CWB). As it follows from the viewlet found in the Metalink Note 311702.1, XMLP is implemented for the CWB in some pretty strange fashion not described anywhere in the XMLP documentation.
User is shown to create an rtf template. The tags' names, however, are not related to any XML file, but can be picked as the user likes. Upon uploading the template, the user is presented a screen on which he has to match his tags with the available data fields. Something resembling the process with PDF templates, but it is not.
The underlying XML file is created somehow behind the screen, and only for a single employee, so we can not create any reports, say, with the list of employees. So the questions:
What is this XMLP impementation?
Where is that XML file to which the tags are referred?
How can we change the file?
If not, is there other ways to run reports from the CWB?
Thanks a lot.

In step -1 Ensure you have the following infrastructure pre-reqs installed and you are a FULL Legislative HRMS customer
· Oracle HR (PER) product installation status: Full
· Release 12.1.3 or later
What it is mean ?
License E-Business Suite:Add-ons page i am seeing
Self-service Human Resources
Advanced Benefits
Compensation Workbench
iRecruitment
Payroll
Performance Management
Time & Labor
HR Intelligence
Succession Planning
Already selected. Do i need to change any thing here ?
If these modules are selected, then you are good. Nothing else needs to be done (assuming you are licensed to use all of these modules).
And i want to install legislation for Singapore. Which patch i have to apply the pre requisites before applying the hrglobal.drv.
Depends on what your current HR patch level is - run the script in MOS Doc 453632.1 to determine this. Choose the column for your patch level in the table and check the key beneath the table for any patches you may need to apply.
And also i am using external tier for (iReqruitment). So do I need to apply this HRMS Legislative Data Patch and prerequisites in both tiers ?

Configuring Workbench behind a HTTP proxy

Hi,
I'm trying to configure the access to Endeca Workbench v 3.1.2 through a ProxyPass configured as follows:
<VirtualHost *:81>
ServerName workbench.etc.com
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
RewriteEngine on
ProxyPass / http://<hostName>:8006/
ProxyPassReverse / http://<hostName>:8006/
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
It works fine with the workbench home page and the endeca_jspref, but when I try to access, for example, to the EAC Connection Settings page, I get a 503 error. I found out that in the EAC Connection Settings case, but it's the same for the other sections, the html page contains an iframe which points directly to "<hostName>:8006" and this prevents us to correctly display the page.
Is there something I can configure in order to make the Workbench correctly point to our virtual host?

A long-shot, and I've not tried this, but have you tried setting: ProxyPreserveHost On [1]?

How to Migrate EIT security to different Instance

Hi
I have a requirement to migrate the “EIT Security type” information to another instance.
Functional Analyst creates an EIT and attaches it to the Responsibility using the following menu.
CA Super HRMS Manager Responsibility
Security
Go to Information Type windows and add the EIT.
I have a requirement to migrate into another instance.
Does Oracle have any API, so I can use it? If not than what approach I should use?
Thanks
Edmonton

OTL users to enter their Time sheet
OTL is intergated with HRMS to pickup Employee information
Existing business users are integrated with Employee assignment etc tables to pickup person_id

How to bring all information from one instance to another instance? Please advice.

Dear,
Try using HRMS configuration workbench. For this you might require support from your DBA for configuring the same. Once configured, you can move the items you want.

Auditing in HRMS

Hi Guys,
Could I get few pointers from auditing point of view?
What procedures we can adopt, what reports to run and how to control user access?
There are some concurrent programs which maintain security, I am not sure which ones and how frequently we should run them?
I know some auditors recommending that we should put a profile option in place which would show number of unsuccessful attempts made by user to login, are there any more features?
Your help would be very much appreciated. :-)

Hello,
Here are a few things that I find useful:
System Administrator Reports:
- Active Responsibilities and Users
- Signon Audit Users
- Users of a Responsibility
From the standard documentation sets, I find these highly useful:
- Oracle E-Business Suite System Administrator's Guide - Security
- Oracle HRMS Configuring, Reporting, and System Administration Guide
These are available on My Oracle Support > Knowledge > Online Documentation > E-Business Suite Documentation
If you have specific audit requirements (SOX, DPA, etc.), then it would be helpful to define those and then determine how you can meet those requirements. You can use Audit Trail, but that should be used with caution.
I hope you find this useful.
Best regards,
Mark Pescatrice
