APPLICATION SECURITY Oracle Fusion Applications Security provides a single console where IT Security Managers and Administrators can perform various functions including user lifecycle management, role definition, security policy management (both functional and data), role hierarchy maintenance, user name and password policy administration, and certificate management. The console also enables users to simulate the effect of security changes, to run security reports, and download a connector for integration with Microsoft Active Directory. REGENERATE MULTIPLE HCM DATA ROLES Save time and effort by regenerating HCM data roles in bulk. Run or schedule the Process Grants Regeneration process to regenerate specified HCM data roles. HCM DATA LOADER HCM Data Loader (HDL) provides a flexible and efficient method of bulk loading business object data for datamigration and on-going incremental updates to Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud. ABILITY TO LOAD MULTIPLE OWNERS FOR A BANK ACCOUNT Manage external bank accounts more effectively using HCM Data Loader. You can now create multiple owners for the same external bank account either when you load the account or when you update it subsequently. EXTRACT INTEGRATION AND USER KEY VALUES Simplify the management of existing objects. Use the predefined Integration Object User Key Map Extract to extract surrogate IDs, user keys, source keys, and GUIDs for a specified business object. TEST HCM DATA LOADER PROCESS FLOW AND CONNECTIONS Validate HCM Data Loader end-to-end process flows and connections without committing data to the application tables. Use the new Test HCM Data Loader Process Flow and Connections process and its supporting example object. HCM COMMON FEATURES This section covers features used across all HCM Applications. SECURE ACCESS TO POSITION RECORDS USING AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY OR THE HCM POSITION HIERARCHY Improve security performance by securing access to position records using areas of responsibility. In addition, you can now secure access to position records using the new HCM position hierarchy. 6
REDUCE TRANSFER TIME BY COMPRESSING AND ENCRYPTING EXTRACTS Use the new values available in the Compress field when selecting delivery options for your extract. The new options allow you to choose whether the extracted output is encrypted first or compressed first. The compress first option can help run your extracts more efficiently by reducing their size and therefore reducing the run time. The list of values is available when you select the WebCenter Content delivery option.

The console also enables users to simulate the effect of security changes, to run security reports, and download a connector for integration with Microsoft Active Directory. DATABASE RESOURCE PERSPECTIVE OF DATA SECURITY POLICIES Analyze data security policies by database resource. You can view the roles that are authorized to the database resource and the users that are authorized to the database resource. You can export the information displayed in the tables to a spreadsheet. ENHANCED ROLE COMPARISON Copy function and data security policies from the first role to the second role during role comparison. You can export the data displayed in the role comparison results table to a spreadsheet. HCM DATA LOADER HCM Data Loader (HDL) provides a flexible and efficient method of bulk loading business object data for datamigration and on-going incremental updates to Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud. AUTOMATIC CALCULATION OF THE OPTIMAL LOAD GROUP SIZE Simplify data loading with the removal of the Load Group Size parameter from the Schedule Request page. When you load data, HCM Data Loader now calculates the optimal size of the load group based on the number of objects to process and the available concurrent threads. 8
MESSAGE DISPLAY IN USER S LANGUAGE Enhance usability by displaying HCM Data Loader messages on the Import and Load Data page in the session language of the user. HCM COMMON FEATURES This section covers features used across all HCM Applications. ANYTIME FEEDBACK Increase employee communication by providing quick feedback on any employee at any time in Person Spotlight or the person smart navigation window. Use the visibility option to display the feedback to the appropriate audience. You can make feedback public for everyone, share it only with the manager, or the worker and the manager, or keep it private to yourself. TRANSACTION CONSOLE Use the Transaction Console to easily monitor daily tasks related to HCM approvals. This new console lets users with appropriate privileges pro-actively monitor all approval transactions in the system and provides enhanced diagnostic information to take appropriate actions to resolve stuck transactions. The console offers HCM Administrators superior search capabilities with the ability to save the search criteria. Additionally, HCM Administrators can configure approval rules and manage task configurations like Bypass Approvals from the console. --- 9
