Step 5: Set the HR:Self Service HR Licensed profile option Required Step
If you have licensed SSHR, set the following profile option to "Yes" at the site level.
HR: Self Service HR Licensed
If you have not licensed SSHR, please contact Oracle for information on purchasing a

Check that you have the correct Internet browser. You can use Netscape Navigator 4.08 or
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4 or 5 or above.
Step 7: Create an SSHR Background Workflow Cleanup Process Required Step
You should remove transaction information from the temporary tables for processes that support
Web transactions. To do this, include the Remove Transaction activity in the workflow process.
5. Enter the number of days for which you want to run the process. For example, if you want to
purge obsolete data for the last 7 days, enter 7.
6. Select the persistence type of the data to be purged (Temporary or Permanent).
7. Choose OK to close the Parameters window.
8. Place your cursor on the Parameters field in the row for the Complete Defunct HR Workflow
Processes process to open the Parameters window.
9. Select the item type to be included in the process.
10. Enter the number of days for which you want to run the process. For example, if you want to
run the cleanup process for the last 7 days, enter 7.

Step 13: Set Up Access Roles for Self-Service Actions Optional Step
If you want to take advantage of security based on access roles when routing and approving selfservice actions, you must first activate the system profile option HR: Allow Approver updates to
Self Service actions. Optionally, create and assign roles that grant or deny privileges to update
actions. All users can update by default. Define and manage access roles in the Maintain Roles
window.
Step 16: Set Up Eligibility Processing for Self-Service Actions Optional Step
You can configure SSHR to automatically determine if a person is eligible for a self-service
action. To do this, you set up eligibility profiles, reporting groups (actions), and plans (sub
actions), using SSHR Compensation and Benefits functionality as a generic processing engine.
Step 19: Link the Responsibilities to Your Security Profiles Required Step
Use the System Profile Values window to link the responsibilities you have created to your
security profile.
Step 20: Set the HR: Cross Business Group Profile Required Step
If you want your managers to be able to access data for employees in other business groups, also
set the HR: Cross Business Group responsibility.
Step 21: Set the Allow Granted Access Profile Required Step
If you want managers to be able to access data for workers outside their security profile whose
information has been released to them using the Release Employee Information function, also set
the Allow Granted Access profile option to Yes for the responsibility.
Step 43: Set Up Document Management Optional Step
If you want to make formatted PDF documents available to users that contain merged data from
self-service actions, create PDF documents and link them to appropriate menu functions by
creating groups in Document Manager. See: Document Manager, page 7-19
Step 44: Populate the Employee Directory Required Step
You must load data from your database into the repository. At this time you can override any of
the supplied mappings with your own data. See: Populating the Repository, page 8-31
