Supports important business objects belonging to key Oracle Fusion HCM products, including Oracle Fusion Global Human Resources, Compensation, Absence Management, Performance Management, Profile Management, Global Payroll, Talent and Workforce Management.
Is available in cloud, on-premises, and on-demand environments.
Supports one-time data migration, maintenance of Oracle Fusion HCM data via upload, and coexistence scenarios, where core HR data exists outside Oracle Fusion.
Provides a comprehensive user interface for initiating data upload, monitoring progress, and reviewing errors, with real-time information provided for both the import and load stages of its processing.
Supports multithreaded processing, which enables you to upload complete system extracts without severe performance impacts. HCM Data Loader manages references among objects that are processed on separate threads.
Includes a delimited-file reader that can identify file contents from metadata included in the file that you upload. This feature enables you to perform partial or incremental loads, thereby minimizing the related processing.
Supports user keys for integration-enabled objects. Knowledge of Oracle Fusion internal IDs is not required.
Enables bulk update and deletion of objects, regardless of whether they were created using HCM Data Loader.
Loads all data files from the Oracle WebCenter Content server, which provides a single point of entry to Oracle Fusion HCM.
Can be initiated using a web service call, which enables you to automate data upload.
Is function-rich. For example, you can upload:
o Current and historical records for date-effective objects. You determine the amount of history to load.
o End-dated, terminated, or inactive records.
o Translated attributes in multiple languages. The WE8ISO8859P1 character set (West European 8-bit ISO 8859 Part 1) with UTF-8 encoding is supported.
o Descriptive flexfields (DFFs) and extensible flexfields (EFFs).
o Data from multiple sources. You can include source-system references in uploaded data.
