Oracle HRMS Self Service Interview Some Simple Questions
Qns 1 :
If you do personalization at both FUNCTION level and Responsibility level, which personalization has higher precedence?
Ans 1:
Responsibility level. Responsibility level will override FUNCTION level personalizations.
Qns 2:
Say you have done a lot of Personalizations to Self Service Screens.
But all these Personalizations were done in DEVELOPMENT environment.
How will you migrate these personalizations to PRODUCTION environment?
Ans2:
Before 11.5.7…Use AKLoad
This is a java program given by Oracle. This is the only way you can script it.
In DEV you will do è akdload DOWNLOAD ( & other parameters)
In PRD you will do è akdload UPLOAD ( & other parameters)
On or after 11.5.10 Use responsibility “Functional Administrator”, then click
on Personalization Tab, and then click on Import/Export.
Next select the documents to be exported.
Go to the unix box and tar the personalizations into a .tar file.
On the Production environment unzip this tar file in location as entered in profile “FND: Personalization Document Root Path”.
Setting up of this profile is mandatory or else Oracle Framework would’nt know where to search for the files to be imported.
Comments
For each employee, a record always exists in PER_PERIODS_OF_ SERVICE, and it gets updated during termination.
