Enterprise Scheduler Service Job Creation in Fusion HCM

ESS Job Creation:

Creating an Enterprise Scheduler Service (ESS) for an HCM Extract in Fusion HCM involves several steps. Here's a simplified guide:

This type of requirements we usually do not have as HCM Extracts can be effectively on ad-hoc basis or when it is integrated with other services it will be called directly.

1. Prepare the HCM Extract

• Ensure your HCM Extract is configured and ready to be scheduled. You can manage this under Data Exchange > Manage Extract Definitions.

We have HCM Extract ready and will consider MAB Sample HCM Extract for creating ESS Job.

2. Create the ESS Job

• Navigate to Setup and Maintenance in Fusion HCM.
• Search for Manage Enterprise Scheduler Job Definitions and Job Sets.

As we are creating ESS Job for HCM Extract, we will use Human Capital Management and Related Applications task.

• Click to add or create a new ESS job.

• Name: An alphanumeric identifier without spaces or special characters.
• Path: Specify the folder path (e.g., /oracle/apps/ess/custom).
• Job Application Name: Select FscmEss.

3. Link the HCM Extract

• Specify the report path of the HCM Extract you want to schedule (e.g., /Custom/MyReport.xdo) and define parameters as per BIP Report.

Click on Save and Close button and we will have ESS Job created ready.

4. Schedule the ESS Job
