The following procedure gives you the basic implementation steps that are required to enable you to run SSHR in a test environment. For information on running SSHR in a production environment, please see the detailed chapters in this Implementation Guide and also the Implementation Steps.

To set up an SSHR system:

1. Ensure that Oracle Human Resources R12 is installed with the most up-to-date patch according to the readme file for SSHR at the time of installation.

2. Ensure that at least one business group has been set up in Oracle HRMS with at least two employee records (one record should be defined as the supervisor for the other).

   See: Adapting and Creating a New Business Group

3. Ensure that the Apache server and Apache JSERV are installed. Set up the Apache server as specified in the Oracle Self-Service Web Applications Implementation Manual (available on Metalink).

4. Apply the patch for SSHR and make sure that all prerequisites are met, including those for the OA Framework.

5. Complete the install and set-up of the OA Framework.

   See: Oracle Application Framework Documentation Resources (available on Metalink - technical note number: 391554.1)

6. If you have licensed SSHR, set the following profile option to "Yes" at the site level.

   • HR: Self Service HR Licensed

     If you have not licensed SSHR, please contact your Oracle sales representative for information on purchasing a licence.

     See: User Profiles

7. Add the Manager Self Service and Employee Self Service responsibilities to your users (use either new or existing users).

   See: Self-Service Responsibilities and User Menus

   See: Responsibilities

8. Link the users to (new or existing) employee records in HRMS.

   See: Defining User Access and Menus
