WHAT ARE REDWOOD PAGES OR FLOWS

Redwood is the new user experience in Oracle HCM applications. Many pages and flows have been recreated in the
Redwood toolset Visual Builder Studio (VBS) to improve the user experience by having the pages and flows be more
connected. The pages and flows identified in this document have not been through a full redesign, but they have been
modified, to look and act like the Redwood pages and flows to help create cohesiveness through the application. Many
pages and flows identified in this document have been turned on by default, as we believe that these pages would enrich the
user experience. However, some pages and flows, we have not turned on by default, because depending on your
implementation the new pages or flows may not make sense. In these cases, you may turn on the profile option in your non-
production environments to see the impacts. If there are no impacts and you would like to use the new pages, you may
enable the profile option on your production environment.
Note: Redwood features are enabled by default only on new environments provisioned on Release 24A with HCM. For those
with new sites provisioned on Release 24A, you’re still required to perform the steps listed in: Fusion HCM: Redwood
Required Steps for Environment Provisioned on Release 24A – MOS Document – 2997123.1

ENABLE ORACLE SEARCH PRIOR TO ENABLING REDWOOD PAGES

Redwood flows require Oracle Search to be enabled. Setup includes setting profile options, creating indices and configuring
access control lists-based data security. Follow the steps below to enable Oracle Search for Redwood flows.

Note: If you have previously enabled Oracle Search-based features, some of these steps may have already been completed
in your environment.

Enable Oracle Search Profile Options

First you need to enable the following Oracle Search profile options.

To enable profile options, navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area:

1. Search for and click the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.

2. Search for and select the profile options you are enabling from the table below.

Run Initial Data Ingestion for the Required HCM Indexes

1. Navigate to Tools > Scheduled Processes.

2. Run the process ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS for each index by setting
parameter Index Name to Reingest. For example:
• Set fa-hcm-person for person index.
• If you’re setting up multiple indexes for various HCM products, then you need to submit the process in a
sequence with each index name as input parameter in serial. It's recommended to submit one by one to
avoid high load on OSCS as the full ingestion continuously sends bulk requests to OSCS but there is no
technical limitation as such.

The ESS job must be run only for the HCM products that are or will be implemented in the environment. Below is the list of
the indexes across HCM products that require initial data ingestion process to be run:
HCM Product Indexes names
General search infrastructure • fa-hcm-acl
• fa-hcm-savedsearch

Global Human Resources • fa-hcm-person

• fa-hcm-job
• fa-hcm-position
• fa-hcm-location
• fa-hcm-organization

Learning • fa-hcm-learningitem
• fa-hcm-learn-acl
• fa-hcm-learningrecord
• fa-hcm-learningrecommendation
• fa-hcm-learningbooking

Time and Labor • fa-hcm-timecard

Recruiting • fa-hcm-requisition
• fa-hcm-irc-hiring-events

Career and Profile Management • fa-hcm-modelprofile

• fa-hcm-personprofile

Journeys • fa-hcm-workerjourney
• fa-hcm-workerjourneytask

Refresh Indexes After Upgrade

You must run the initial data ingestion process for every created index after upgrading to a new release.

Refresh Indexes After P2T

You must run the initial data ingestion process for every created index after P2T (production-to-test) process.

Note: Do not schedule the initial data ingestion process and run it only as recommended.

a. Compute Users ACL - For User Population All Users.
3. Schedule these processes to be run in regular intervals:
a. Compute Users ACL by Event - Schedule for every 15-60 mins.
b. Compute Users ACL - For User Population as Logged in users - Schedule for every 30-120 minutes.
c. Compute Users with Large ACL – For User Population as All Users with Large ACL – Schedule to run once
every day.

Submit Recruiting Processes (Only for Recruiting Implementation)

Complete the following steps if you’re using Recruiting:

1. Navigate to Tools > Scheduled Processes.

2. Submit each of the following processes sequentially, submitting the next one after the previous one is complete
and running each process only once.
a. Load and Index Master Geography Hierarchy
b. Load and Index Job Requisitions
c. Load and Index Candidates

PRIVILEGES FOR USING CONTEXTUAL JOURNEYS

This table shows the duty, aggregate, and function privileges for using contextual journeys and the predefined roles that
inherit them. These privileges are granted out-of-the-box to all employees if they use delivered roles.

Abstra Duty Privilege Aggregate Privilege Function Privilege

ct Role
Conting ORA_PER_ACCESS_JOURNEY_BY ORA_PER_REST_SERVICE_ACCESS_WORKE PER_REST_SERVICE_ACCESS_WORKER

Worker _WORKER R_JOURNEYS _JOURNEYS

If you are using the predefined roles, no action is necessary. However, if you are using custom versions of these roles and you
use contextual journeys, you must add the appropriate privileges to your custom roles. See the Release 13 Oracle Human
Capital Management Cloud Security Upgrade Guide on My Oracle Support (Document ID 2023523.1) for instructions about
implementing new functions in existing roles.
For information about existing security privileges, refer to the Security Reference for Common Features guide on the Oracle
Help Center.
