3-WedADI

Note: 'HR: Enable Web ADI Integration' is no longer available from R12 onwards. In R12.1 onwards:
To make the HR Integrators available from Desktop Integrator, ensure that the HR ADI Seeded Integrator Form Functions
submenu has been added to the Desktop Integration Menu.
Reference - Why Is There No Profile Option -> 'HR: Enable Web ADI Integration' In R12.1.1? (Doc ID 1062471.1)

To enable a user to access integrators, they need to be associated to a function which is added to the Navigator menu.
The seeded integrators can be accessed by adding the submenu 'HR ADI Seeded Integrator Form Functions' to the menu.
This submenu contains all the functions associated with the seeded integrators.

In order to create custom integrators, access is required to certain Web ADI functions. This would normally be a task for a
System Administrator. In Release 12 of E-Business Suite this is done by allocating the Desktop Integrator Responsibility.
In Earlier releases, creating a specific responsibility that accesses a menu with the following functions would be the
recommended approach:

Seq Prompt Submenu Function

10 Create Document Create Document
20 Define Layout Web ADI Layout Definition
30 Define Mapping Web ADI Text Mapping
40 HR Create Document HRMS Create Document

Running a Seeded Download Integrator

HR People Details
1. Navigate to the People -> Enter and Maintain, and run a query to return a group of records using the Find window.
2. Click on the Export Data icon on the toolbar to invoke the Create Document function.
3. Select your chosen Viewer. i.e. Excel XP, tick the Reporting checkbox, and click on Next button.
4. Choose HR People Details integrator. Remember that the list of integrators is restricted to those that have been
associated with the PERWSHRG form. Click on Next button.
If you get the error, “You do not have permission to access this functionality", then you need to add the submenu,
”HR ADI Seeded Integrator Form Functions” to your Navigator Menu, and try again.
If you get the error, “No Layouts exist for the specified integrator-Please define a layout”, then you have not ticked
the Reporting checkbox after selecting the Viewer. This is a download only integrator. It doesn’t allow upload.
5. You will be asked to Open or Save the document to be downloaded to Excel. A Processing window will open and a
Confirmation window will advise when download has completed. Click on Close button and the Excel spreadsheet
will display all the rows in your original query.
Running a Seeded Upload Integrator
HR Update Salary Proposals
1. Navigate to the People -> Salary Management, and run a query to return a group of records using the View Find

2. Click on the Export Data icon on the toolbar to invoke the Create Document function.
3. Select your chosen Viewer. i.e. Excel XP. DO NOT tick the Reporting checkbox, and click on Next button.
4. Choose HR Update Salary Proposals integrator. Click on Next button. Rows are downloaded to viewer as in previous
section.
5. You can now manipulate the data in the spreadsheet. If changes are made, the 1st column (Upl) gets flagged for
automatic upload. As a minimum you must enter values in Proposed_Salary and Change_Date fields, otherwise you
will get an error in the Messages column in the spreadsheet.
6. When changes are complete, upload by going to Oracle menu on spreadsheet toolbar, and select Upload. An Upload
Parameters window is presented where you can opt to upload all rows or flagged rows, and validate. Once upload is
complete, requery data in Salary Management folder.
A Step by Step Guide to Creating HRMS Integrators
a) Define a Download style Integrator and Associate with a Form
This example demonstrates how to create a reporting integrator to be run from the Define Payroll form.
1. From your Web ADI responsibility (See Getting Started), choose Create Document.
2. Select your chosen Viewer. i.e. Excel XP. DO NOT tick the Reporting checkbox because you will be uploading a new
integrator definition to the database. Click on Next button.
3. Choose HR Integrator Setup integrator. Click on Next button.
4. Choose default Layout, Integrator Setup. Click on Next button.
5. Choose None for Content to open empty document. Click on Next button.
6. On Document Creation Review page, Click on Create Document button. Open file and Enable Macros if prompted. A
Processing window will open and a Confirmation window will advise when document has been created.
7. In the blank spreadsheet enter a value for each of the columns as follows. Remaining columns are blank for a
download integrator.
Upl - ignore
Metadata Type - select List of Values from Oracle menu or right
click on mouse. Choose DOWNLOAD.
Application Short Name - Choose your Application Short Name (see Getting Started)
Integrator User Name - Enter a name for your integrator (eg HR Payroll Details)
View Name - PAY_PAYROLLS_V2
Form Name - PAYWSDPG

8. Upload by going to Oracle menu on spreadsheet toolbar, and select Upload.

At this point if you were to go to the Define Payroll form and run the integrator, you would get a ‘No Layouts Exists’
message, so we must Define a Layout for the new integrator. However if you were to choose the Define Layout
function at this stage and select your integrator ,you will get the error , “You do not have permission to access this
functionality”. See Who? paragraph in Creating an Integrator section.

9. In System Administrator ,select Application-> Function. Enter a Function name and User Function Name. Commit
record. You’ll then need to add this function to your Web ADI menu, and also the main Navigator Menu to give
access to the integrator to the end user.

10. Associate function with your new integrator, by choosing Create Document (DO NOT tick the Reporting checkbox)
and choose the integrator, HR Maintain Integrator Form Functions. Default the layout and content, and then enter
Application Short Name and your Integrator User Name in the window , ‘Select Content Parameters’. Click Continue
button then Create Document on ‘Review page’ window. When spreadsheet opens, enter a value for each of the
columns as follows:

Upl - ignore.
Integrator Application - Choose your Application Short Name
Short Name (see Getting Started)
Integrator User Name - Enter the name of your integrator created in 7.
Form Function List - Enter the name of your function created in 9. Separate by commas
if more than one function.

11. Upload by going to Oracle menu on spreadsheet toolbar, and select Upload

12. Now choose Define Layout function from the menu, and select your integrator, then click the Go button. You will see
the informational message, ’No Layouts are defined for this Integrator. Press the Define Layout Button to Create a
New Layout’.

13. Enter a unique Layout Name and a Layout Key and press Continue

14. Select fields that you wish to see. Available fields derive from

1) API parameters
2) View Columns

If a view column has the same name as an already included api parameter, it will be ignored. For Upload integrators,
certain fields will be identified as mandatory and will be pre-selected. If any fields always contain the same values
(for example business_group_id), you can select these as Header fields, and they will appear in the Header section
of the spreadsheet. These fields apply to all rows (Lines).
Choose Apply to save Layout.
15. You can now Navigate to the Define Payroll form, query records, click on Export Data icon (remember to tick
Reporting checkbox this time), and download the results to your spreadsheet.
