Loading Worker Data Using HCM Data Loader Template

Data Migration is one of the most important yet most challenging task which needs to be accomplished in any ERP Implementation project. Different ERP system provide different tools for loading data into the system. Oracle HCM Cloud also provides multiple ways via which we can load data into the system. The available ones till date being (as of Application Release 13):

1. Manual Data Entry via UI
2. HDL (HCM Data Loader)
3. HSDL (HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader)
4. Web-Service

Out of all the above options HDL is the recommended way of loading huge volume of data and is used for inbound integration. Also HDL Load supports data load using Web Service ( One Webservice Loads the HDL Files into UCM Server and the second one loads the data using HCM Data Loader Service).

In this article I will try to explain how to load some worker records into the HCM System. We would need to perform certain steps in order to achieve the same. They are:

1. Configure Source System Owner
2. Identify a pre-existing Legal Employer and Business Unit to which all the worker records would be associated.
3. Load specific workforce structure components (namely Location, Organization, Job, Grade and Position) which would be associated with Worker’s Assignment Details
4. Load Worker Records without Assignment Supervisor Details
5. Load Assignment Supervisor Details.
