1 Introduction to Integrating with Oracle HCM

Cloud

Overview of Integrating with Oracle HCM Cloud

This guide describes the ways in which you can integrate applications with Oracle HCM Cloud. Oracle HCM Cloud is a
complete solution for HR processes from hire to retire including global HR, talent management, workforce management,
and payroll.

This figure shows the different integration methods available for integrating with HCM Cloud.

HCM Data Loader

HCM Data Loader is a powerful tool for bulk-loading and maintaining data. It supports file-based upload of business
objects, components, and component attributes using a flexible, delimited file.

Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM Chapter 1
HCM Integrations Introduction to Integrating with Oracle HCM Cloud

HCM Data Loader loads:

• Complex, hierarchical data
• Large volumes of data, such as complete system extracts
• Object history
You can use HCM Data Loader for both data migration and ongoing data maintenance. Major benefits of HCM Data
Loader include support for:
• Most HCM business objects
• Incremental or partial data loading
• Four types of keys to identify records uniquely
• Configured descriptive flexfields and extensible flexfields, translation data, tree hierarchies, person images, and
document-record attachments
HCM Data Loader provides:
• A comprehensive user interface to start data upload, monitoring progress, and reviewing errors
• A template file for each supported business-object hierarchy, which you can use as the basis for your own data
files
• A user interface for reviewing the structure and attributes of every supported business-object hierarchy
• A web service that you can use to automate data upload
For more information on HCM Data Loader, see the HCM Data Loader guide.

HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader

Use HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader to import data to the HCM Data Loader stage tables from spreadsheets. HCM
Spreadsheet Data Loader supports most of the business objects that HCM Data Loader supports. It offers both ease of
use and flexibility. For example, you can configure spreadsheet templates to suit business needs by omitting attributes,
changing attribute order, changing attribute labels, and adding help text.

For more information on HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader, see the HCM Data Loader guide.

HCM Extracts
An HCM extract is an archiving, reporting, and outbound interfacing tool. HCM Extract allows customers to build
custom defined data extracts to export business data stored in cloud applications.

For more information on Extracts, see the HCM Extracts guide.

Oracle BI Publisher
Oracle BI Publisher supports both scheduled and unplanned reporting, based on either predefined Oracle Transactional
Business Intelligence analysis structures or your own data models. You can generate reports in various formats. You can
use Oracle BI Publisher to generate reports in a format suitable for automatic downstream processing, such as XML or
CSV.

For more information on Oracle BI Publisher, see the Middleware User's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher.
