To run the Update Person Names program:The Update Person Names concurrent program updates stored person names in the specified legislation or in all business groups. You run this program:
When you first use the person-name-formats function, to populate the stored names (list names, order names, and full names)
Whenever you update or delete an existing List Name, Order Name, or Full Name format mask
If you fail to run Update Person Names, HRMS does not populate or update stored person names. Therefore, names may be null or appear in an unexpected format.
Run the Update Person Names concurrent program in the Submit Request window.
To run the Update Person Names program:In the Name field, select Update Person Names.
The Parameters window opens.
Select a Format Type value.
Select a legislation. HRMS updates person names of the specified format type defined in business groups that have this legislation code. If you select no legislation, HRMS updates person names in all business groups.
Set Disable WHO Trigger to Yes or No.
If you set Disable WHO Trigger to Yes, HRMS prevents update of the following WHO (audit-related) columns in the table PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F while the Update Person Names program is running:
LAST_UPDATE_DATE
LAST_UPDATED_BY
LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN
Note that, when you disable the WHO trigger, you prevent update of these columns by all users and for the whole table PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F while Update Person Names is running. This setting does not apply only to rows updated by the Update Person Names program.
When the program completes, HRMS re-enables the WHO trigger.
Note: If you set Disable WHO Trigger to Yes and the program fails to complete, WHO column updates may remain disabled. If Update Person Names fails, your system administrator must check the status of the WHO trigger and re-enable it if necessary.
Click Submit.
HRMS reformats all names of the specified type in the selected legislation. For information about how HRMS selects an appropriate format mask, see Person-Name Formats.
