HCM Data Loader (HDL)

Presented by
Thejashwini C R
What is HCM Data Loader

 HCM Data Loader is a powerful tool for bulk-loading and maintaining


data. The data can be from any source.
 We can use HCM Data Loader for data migration, ongoing maintenance
of HCM data, and coexistence scenarios, where core HR data is uploaded
regularly.
 We can review the complete list of supported business objects using the
View Business Objects task, available in the Data Exchange work area.
ADVANTAGES OF HDL

 Helps Load Complex Hierarchical Data.


 Can support large data volumes.
 Support loading of object history.
 No such restriction we can generate file directly from system
programmatically.
 Support almost all business objects.
HDL SUPPORTED KEYS

 When you supply data to be processed by HDL, you must uniquely identify
each record in the file. For new records, two mechanisms are supported:

 User Key - a combination of user-friendly attributes that can be found


on the user interface, which uniquely identify the record.
For example, the JobCode and SetCode for a Job, the
PersonNumber for a Worker.
 Source Key - a combination of two attributes, SourceSystemId and
SourceSystemOwner, are used to uniquely identify the record.
 The SourceSystemId value can be any value, but is often the
identifier on the source system, or a value generated by an
algorithm.
 The SourceSystemOwner ensures the source key is unique, when
multiple source system exist.
CREATING YOUR FIRST FILE

Using any text editor, create a new file and enter the following line:
 METADATA|BankBranch|BankName|BankNumber|CountryCode|BankBranchId|
BankBranchNumber|BankBranchName|BankBranchType|
BankId(SourceSystemId)|EftSwiftCode|EftUserNumber|Rfc|EndDate|
SourceSystemOwner|SourceSystemId.
All files must include METADATA lines, to explain which attributes are included in the f
ile and the order in which their values are supplied.
All attribute names and values are delimited by the pipe '|'
character by default.

 MERGE|BankBranch|US Bank Iowa|lowa1234567|US||073000545|US Branch


Iowa||CAN_BAN_001|||||HCMT_001|lowa_BRANCH_001.
the MERGE instruction identifies the record type the attributes for. The values
that follow are the values for the attributes named in the corresponding
METADATA line.
