 APPLICATION SECURITY
Oracle Applications Security provides a single console where IT Security Managers and Administrators can
perform various functions including user lifecycle management, role definition, security policy management
(both functional and data), role hierarchy maintenance, username and password policy administration, and
certificate management. The console also enables users to simulate the effect of security changes, to run
security reports, and download a connector for integration with Microsoft Active Directory.

MANAGE EXCLUSIONS FROM HCM PERSON SECURITY PROFILES

In a person security profile, you identify a set of people using criteria such as manager hierarchy or area of
responsibility. When you include the person security profile in a data role, users who have the data role can
access the person records of the set of people you identified. In some cases, you may want to exclude
selected person records, such as the records of workers in the HR department, from the set identified by the
person security profile. Until now, you had to define custom criteria to implement these exclusions. From this
update, you can create reusable exclusion rules and reference them in person security profiles.

Creating Exclusion Rules

To create an exclusion rule, you use the new Manage HCM Exclusion Rules task. You can perform the task:

In the Users and Security functional area for your offering in the Setup and Maintenance work area
In the Workforce Structures work area

You must have the IT Security Manager job role or privileges to perform the task.

Create HCM Exclusion Rule Page

You define a name for the exclusion rule, enter a description if required, and leave Enabled selected.

To create the exclusion definition, you select an Exclude By value, which can be a list, an attribute, or a
hierarchy from the following list.

List
Business unit
Country

6
 Department
Grade
Job family
Job
Legal employer
Person
Position
Work location
Attribute
Department
Grade
Job
Person
Position
Work location
Hierarchy
Department
HCM position
Supervisor

When you select a list value, you search for and select one or more named instances of the selected object. For
example, if you set Exclude By to Business unit list, then you search for and select one or more business
units.

Creating an Exclusion Rule Using a List of Business Units

If you set Exclude By to Department hierarchy, then you select the tree name and the top department in the
tree. The top department and its subordinates are included in the exclusion rule.

7
 Creating an Exclusion Rule Using a Department Hierarchy

For HCM position hierarchy or Supervisor hierarchy, you select the top position or manager, as appropriate.
The selected values and their subordinates in the hierarchy are included in the exclusion rule.

When you set Exclude By to an attribute, you select the attribute name, an operator, and a value.

Creating an Exclusion Rule Using a Department Attribute

Referencing Exclusion Rules in a Person Security Profile

You can reference exclusion rules in a person security profile only when you secure person records by area of
responsibility. That is, the Exclusion Rules section appears by default, but it's not active until you select Secure
by area of responsibility.

8
 Exclusion Rules Section on the Create Person Security Profile Page

You can select any existing exclusion rule to identify a set of person records to exclude from the person security
profile. Let's say that you set the scope of responsibility to Department but want to exclude a few named
workers. In the Exclusion Rules section, you select Apply exclusion rules and add an appropriate exclusion
rule. For example, the rule could list the workers by name, specify the department to which those workers and
no others belong, or identify a common job attribute. The effect of the rule is to exclude records that match the
exclusion criteria from the set of person records identified by the person security profile.

You can include up to three exclusion rules in a person security profile. When you use multiple exclusion rules:

You can base only one of the rules on a hierarchy value.

Only person records that satisfy all of the rules are excluded.

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

In a person security profile, you can't select an exclusion rule that's disabled. If you disable an exclusion rule
after it's been added to a person security profile, then a cross icon appears in the Enabled column of the
Exclusion Rules section of the person security profile. When an exclusion rule is disabled, the person records
identified by the rule aren't excluded from the person security profile. To have an effect, an exclusion rule must
be enabled.

You can export and import the associated setup business objects using standard Functional Setup Manager
functionality. The new business objects are:

HCM Exclusion Rule

HCM Exclusion Rule Detail
Person Security Profile Exclusion
9
Objects referenced in an exclusion rule, such as business units or the HCM position hierarchy, must already
exist in the target environment. To avoid import errors, any changed setup objects that you reference must be
exported before you export the HCM Exclusion Rule, HCM Exclusion Rule Detail, or Person Security Profile
Exclusion objects.

You're recommended to evaluate any existing custom criteria that you defined to manage exclusions and,
where possible, use exclusion rules instead.

KEY RESOURCES

For more information, go to Applications Help for the following help topics:

Exporting and Importing Setup Data: Explained

ROLE INFORMATION

A new function security privilege provides access to the Manage HCM Exclusion Rules task. This table
identifies the function security privilege and the predefined job role to which it's granted.

Function Security Privilege Job Role

Manage HCM Exclusion Rules IT Security Manager

PER_MANAGE_HCM_EXCLUSION_RULES_PRIV ORA_FND_IT_SECURITY_MANAGER_JOB

If you're using the predefined IT Security Manager job role, then no action is necessary. If you're using a custom
version of the IT Security Manager job role, then you must add the new privilege to your custom role to manage
HCM exclusion rules. For information about adding new roles and privileges to custom roles, see the Release
13 Security Upgrade Guide on My Oracle Support (document ID 2023523.1)

HCM COMMON FEATURES

This section covers features used across all HCM Applications.

HCM LANDING PAGE ADDITIONAL CONTENT CARD AND QUICK ACTION

Only 1 additional content card is available for each app that uses the landing page design.
The additional content card from 1 landing page cannot be moved and used in a different landing page.
Quick actions on the Show More page are displayed in alphabetical order.

HCM DATA LOADER

HCM Data Loader provides a flexible and efficient method of bulk loading business object data for data-
migration and on-going incremental updates to Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud.

ENHANCEMENTS TO DELETE STAGE TABLE DATA PROCESSES INFORMATION

You're recommended to create a schedule for deleting stage table data that are no longer required. If you
create no schedule, then a schedule is created automatically. However, until now, you couldn't see the details
of existing deletion schedules. From this update, you can review:

The parameters specified for a deletion process

The schedule of a deletion process

On the Processes page, which you open from the Delete Stage Table Data page, you now see a Parameters
contextual action icon for each process. When you click the icon, a dialog box showing the process parameters
opens.

Parameters Dialog Box

For parent scheduled processes, the dialog box also contains the process frequency, start date, end date, and
next process date.

15
Also on the Processes page:

A new column, Scheduling Process ID, provides the ID of any process that is the parent of other
processes.
A new column, Schedule, includes an icon to identify processes that schedule other processes.

These enhancements apply to both HCM Data Loader and HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader.

Progress Dialog Box

This dialog box replaces the Estimated Time Remaining dialog box that used to appear when you clicked the
Load Progress icon in the Business Objects table for in-progress business objects.

Error Management

Several design and navigation changes have been made to the error management information to make
diagnosis and correction of errors easier. For any data set, you see overall import and load status on the Import
and Load Data page.

18
 Overall Status Icons

The Messages icon appears when errors occur during either the import or the load or both. Click the Messages
icon in the Data Sets table to open the Messages page, where you see the message text for each message and
the number of occurrences of the message in the data set.

The Data Exchange work area has been redesigned for ease of use and responsiveness on mobile devices.
The redesigned work area provides new overview pages with summaries of key information for these
integration tools:

HCM Data Loader

HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader
HCM Extracts

Data Exchange Work Area

Each card opens an overview page for the relevant integration tool.

HCM Data Loader

The HCM Data Loader overview page provides two summaries:

HCM Data Loader stage table capacity used

Recent file loads

31
 Stage Table Capacity Used

When the number of data lines in the stage tables exceeds 90% of the value of the Maximum Data Lines
Before Archiving configuration parameter, the status is labeled as critical and a warning message appears. In
this case, on nonmobile devices you can open the Delete Stage Table Data page directly from this section to
reduce the amount of data in the stage tables.

Recent File Loads

By default, the five most recently updated, active data sets appear in update order, with the most recently
updated data set appearing first. Icons show the overall status of each data set. You can:

Change the sort order.

Filter the list by data set name, status, creator user name, and Oracle WebCenter Content ID.
Expand the entry for each data set to show additional information, including the creator user name, the
date of the last update, and the numbers of file lines, failed lines, failed objects, and messages.
Navigate to details of additional data sets, if more than five data sets exist.

On nonmobile devices, you can select HCM Data Loader tasks from the Actions menu.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Note the following:

Mobile responsive UIs must be enabled before you can use them.
Payroll Batch Loader tasks aren't available in the redesigned Data Exchange work area. However, you
can continue to access them in the Payroll work area.
On mobile devices, you can see the new overview pages for HCM Data Loader, HCM Spreadsheet Data
Loader, and HCM Extracts. These pages provide summary information for recent activities. You can't
navigate to related tasks, such as View Business Objects or Run Spreadsheet Data Loader, on mobile
devices.

KEY RESOURCES

For more information about mobile-responsive UIs, see the following document on My Oracle Support:

HCM Responsive User Experience Setup Information (Document ID 2399671.1).

 ROLE INFORMATION

Security is unchanged. That is:

You must have a role that's granted the Manage Data Exchange Work Area
(HRC_MANAGE_DATA_EXCHANGE_PRIV) function security privilege to access the Data Exchange
work area. Many predefined roles, including the Human Capital Management Integration Specialist job
role, have this privilege.
Each integration tool in the Data Exchange work area is secured by the privileges that secure its tasks.
Some are aggregate privileges (with codes beginning ORA_), and some are function security privileges
(with codes beginning HRC_).

This table shows the securing privileges for HCM Data Loader access.

Privilege Name Privilege Code

Review HCM Data Loader Business Objects HRC_REVIEW_HDL_BUSINESS_OBJECTS_PRIV

Import and Load HCM Data HRC_IMPORT_AND_LOAD_HCM_DATA_PRIV
Delete HCM Data Loader Stage Data HRC_DELETE_HDL_STAGE_DATA_PRIV

This table shows the securing privileges for HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader access.

Privilege Name Privilege Code

Access HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader Templates ORA_HRC_ACCESS_HSDL_TEMPLATES

Manage HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader Templates ORA_HRC_MANAGE_HSDL_TEMPLATES
Delete HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader Stage Data HRC_DELETE_HSDL_STAGE_DATA_PRIV

This table shows the securing privileges for HCM Extracts access.

Privilege Name Privilege Code

Manage HCM Extract Definition PER_MANAGE_HCM_EXTRACT_DEFINITION_PRIV

Run HCM Extracts Report PER_RUN_HCM_EXTRACT_REPORT_PRIV

You need just one of the relevant privileges to access the tool. For example, a user who has only the Run HCM
Extract function security privilege can access the HCM Extracts card in the Data Exchange work area.
