The following implementation steps are required to implement Web ADI for use with Oracle HRMS.
See also the Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator Implementation and Administration Guide.
In the System Profile Values window, the HR: Enable Web ADI Integration profile option default is Yes. The Web ADI pages open when you choose the Export Data icon on the toolbar of an HRMS window.
To use Application Data Exchange (ADE) instead of Web ADI, change this profile option to No at Site level. This change enables the Export Data icon to launch Application Data Exchange (ADE) software.
The supplied Web ADI responsibility and self-service menu give access to the following menu options:
Create Document
Define Layout
Define Mapping
Manage Document Links
Give users access to this responsibility, or attach this menu to their responsibility, if they need to access Web ADI from the self-service menu (without going through one of the HRMS application windows), or if they need to define layouts or mappings, or create links between template letters and layouts.
See the Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator Implementation and Administration Guide for further details about this menu.
A self-service menu "HRMS ADI Document Manager Menu", is supplied for use with Web ADI. This contains the Document Management menu option and required functions. Add this menu to the main menu attached to the responsibilities of any users who need access to the Document Management features.
The supplied function "Web ADI Create Document" gives access to Web ADI from any HRMS window.
Attention: You must add this function to the main menu attached to the responsibilities of any users who need access to Web ADI from an HRMS application window.
The Create Document menu option on the Web ADI menu includes integrators for all applications. An alternative self-service menu, "HRMS ADI Create Document menu" is supplied, containing the menu option "HRMS Create Document". This restricts the list of integrators to HRMS application integrators that are not launched from a window (that is, where the FORM_NAME parameter for the integrator is "GENERAL").
If you create your own "GENERAL" integrators, you need to change the parameters of this function from:
&bne:integrator=800:GENERAL%25
to:
&bne:integrator=800:GENERAL%25,999:GENERAL%25
replacing 999 with your own Application ID.
If only one option is available in Web ADI, the page automatically defaults the option. If all the options on a screen are defaulted, the page is skipped, so that the end user does not have to fill them in. The user only sees the final 'Review' page. To remove the Review page that appears at the end of the Web ADI wizard, edit the "HRMS Create Document" or "Web ADI Create Document" function, and change the parameters of the function, by appending:
&bne:noreview=true
To restrict users to carrying out download-only operations, edit the "HRMS Create Document" or "Web ADI Create Document" function, and change the parameters of the function, by appending:
&bne:reporting=Y
Integrators provided by HRMS for setup purposes may be grouped by creating a function similar to the "HRMS Create Document" by changing the following:
&bne:integrator=800:GENERAL%25
to
&bne:intergator=800:HR_SETUP%25
This function may be added to menus for users with privileges to create and edit integrators.
Web ADI integration with Microsoft Excel enables you to download, view, edit, and to create Oracle HRMS data. After editing the spreadsheet, you can use the Web ADI Integrator validation functionality to validate the data before uploading it to Oracle HRMS.
You must set the appropriate macro security settings in Microsoft Excel for Web ADI Integrator to work with Microsoft Excel. For more information, see: Selecting Macro Security Settings in Microsoft Excel topic in the Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator Implementation and Administration Guide
