1. Redwood Experience

Oracle further develops Redwood capabilities in the 25D HCM Common release.

Optional regions can now be displayed automatically for Redwood Compact Guided Process (CGP) template pages, including processes such as Hire an Employee or Add Assignment. Regions marked as both “Optional” and “Visible” in Configure Fields and Regions (Express Mode in VB Studio) when “Info to Include” is hidden will now appear automatically. This enhancement reduces manual effort for end-users by streamlining and simplifying the workflow.

4. Automated Maintenance of Stage Tables

Quick Notes:

requires-configuration
Auto-Enabled

A new configuration parameter and automated process are available to help users maintain HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader (HSDL) staging tables. When running HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader (HSDL), the system will check for a schedule of the Delete HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader Stage Table Data process and create one to run automatically if it does not exist. Previously, expired HSDL data sets stored in HDL staging tables were deleted through the Delete HCM Data Loader Stage Table Data job.

This new process utilizes the Days to Retain Data Sets Before Deleting parameter, which can be adjusted on the Configure HCM Data Loader page. The default value is set to 60 days. This enhancement makes maintaining HSDL staging tables more efficient and consistent.
