Introduction
This document outlines the usage of HDL error report based on BIP. This report is not a replacement for the out of
the box functionality , instead it’s a custom report which can be modified to fit your needs.
The report provides summary, error count and error details of a specific HDL batch. The report takes Content ID as
the main input and error string as the alternate key (only applicable when searching for error count and details) to
search a part or the complete error message.
The report adds value by grouping the errors along with the error counts and provides the location of the error
which is not provided on the UI. The report enables the users to download the report in multiple formats like
HTML, PDF, RTF, Excel and PowerPoint. It is assumed that the reader of this document is well aware of Oracle
Fusion HCM Data Loader (HDL) and BI Publisher (BIP) tools.

Pre-requisites
 The Fusion environment must be version 10 or greater
 Access to BI Publisher

HDL ERROR BIP REPORT


Report Layout

The report has three sections-

1- Summary:

This section provides an overall summary for a specific HDL batch. The report includes both Import and Load error
counts along with the object level summary which includes the individual file level details.

2- Error Count:

The tab is an extension of summary and serves the purpose of providing details on what went into error. It includes
the error count grouped across the business object and error message. There is an option to perform a lookup on
error string on this section. Note that the search field “ErrorString” expects the ‘%’ before and at the end of the
string.

3- Error Detail:
This tab provides more detailed information about the error(s). The output includes file line, error location and the
stack trace which might be very helpful in diagnosing a specific error signature. Just like error count tab, the report
can take error string as an input and perform search.
