Processing#
Personality receives this data and hires/rehires the employee as follows:- If the person code is provided, this is assumed to be a re-hire. The system will verify that the employee number already exists.
- Data is verified as valid for all fields, as necessary. If there are no issues with the quality of the data, Personality processes the data as an integral transaction.
- No values are case sensitive. Fields that must be in upper case in Personality (code fields) will be upshifted and trimmed.
- For a new hire, new IDENTITIES and PERSONALS information are created with the next available PERSON_CODE selected from the code sequence. Effective date of the PERSONALS is 01-Jan-0001.
- For a re-hire, IDENTITIES and PERSONALS information are updated, if provided. If the data on the PERSONALS is being updated, the effective date is the HIRE_DATE.
- An EMPLOYMENTS record is created, along with an ASSIGNMENT and an ASSIGNMENT DETAILS record.
- The ASSIGNMENTS start date is the HIRE_DATE.
- The effective date of the ASSIGNMENT_DETAILS record is the HIRE_DATE.
- If direct deposit information is provided, a PAYMENT RULES record is created effective on the HIRE_DATE, with up to two PAYMENT RULE DETAILS created for direct deposits.

EMPLOYEE HIRE Outbound from Personality#
PurposeWhen an update is made in certain fields in Personality, a workflow is triggered that in turn invokes the Web Service outbound service from Personality to the 3rd party system. These actions are:
- Changes in employee address (data source – p2k_hr_personals EPS)
- Changes in emergency contact information (data source – p2k_hr_contacts ECT)
- Changes to an employee’s ASSIGNMENT information (data source – p2k_hr_assignment_details EASD)
- Position code
- Group Changes
- Employment Status. NOTE: A long term leave cannot be future dated. If an employee is put into leave in the future, then a pro-active workflow will fire to transmit this data to the receiving system on the actual leave start date.
- Wage Rate (still to be decided)
- Termination of an employee. NOTE: A termination cannot be future dated. If an employee is terminated in the future, then a pro-active workflow will fire to transmit this data to the receiving system on the actual termination date.
Users can process one employee at a time through this service, since it is triggered by an action from a workflow off the database.
The response back to Personality system will be either an OK condition or an ERROR condition, with information provided to identify the type of error encountered. In the event of an error, diagnostic information will be made available to the user.
Input Data#
| Name | Type | Mandatory | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| PERSON_CODE | Character 16 | Yes | |
| TRANSACTION_TYPE | Character 16 | Yes | An indicator of the type of transaction that is being transmitted. Data in each group is mandatory, based upon the transaction code here. Options are: * POSITION = Position code change * GROUP = Group code change * STATUS = New employment status, including TERMINATION * WAGE = New wage rate |
Transaction Types
| Transaction Type | Name | Type | Mandatory | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Position | EFFECTIVE | Date | Yes | The date that the new position becomes effective, formatted in YYYYMMDD |
| Position | POSITION_CODE | Character 16 | Yes | The new position code |
| Group | EFFECTIVE | Date | Yes | The date that the new position becomes effective, formatted in YYYYMMDD |
| Group | GROUP_CODE | Character 16 | Yes | The new group code |
| Status | EFFECTIVE | Date | Yes | The date that the new employment status becomes effective, formatted in YYYYMMDD. In the case of terminated or leave employees, this is the termination or leave start date. |
| Status | EMPLOYMENT_STATUS | Character 16 | Yes | The new employment status |
| Wage | EFFECTIVE | Date | Yes | The date that the new position becomes effective, formatted in YYYYMMDD |
| Wage | WAGE_RATE | Number | Yes | The new wage rate |
| Wage | RATE_BASIS | Character 2 | Yes | The rate basis of the amount in WAGE_RATE. Must be one of the values defined for Rate Basis |
Processing#
The Work Flow module is utilized to trigger the calls to this web service. When an update is made on the ASSIGNMENT DETAILS table of POSITION_CODE, GROUP_CODE, EMPLOYMENT_STATUS or WAGE_RATE, the workflow fires and invokes this web service, passing the information as needed.Work Flows fire upon the commit of the updated/inserted/deleted data at the database level. If the EMPLOYMENT_STATUS change is one of a defined LEAVE or TERMINATION status, and the date of the transaction is a future date, then no action is taken.
A pro-active workflow is executed on a scheduled basis to examine any employees who were put on leave in one of the defined LEAVE statuses or TERMINATED, which takes effect on the date the workflow is executing. All changes are then sent to the receiving system.
Work Flow UserCalcs#
Custom functions have been created for the following tables, utilizing Personality Workflow with integrated web services:| Function | Defined As | |
|---|---|---|
| Assignment Details (EASD) | P2K_PWSOEU.CF_TMC_EASD | |
| Personals (EPS) | P2K_SOEU.CF_TMC_EPS | |
| Contacts (ECT) | P2K_PQSOEU.CF_TMC_ECT |
The workflow is executed after each CRUD (create, retrieve, update, delete) operation on Assignment Details, Personals and Contacts calling the appropriate inbound web service into the receiving/3rd party system. Connection details to the inbound web service must be defined on the Define Custom Tables (IMCT) admin form.
The URL of the inbound service must be defined on the IMCT form in the Custom Data field. The Custom Key and Custom Subkey columns must be defined as follows:
| Column | Defined As | |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Key | EASD UPDATE | |
| Custom Subkey | URL |
If the authorization is a user name and password to be included in the header of the request, another Subkey under the same Custom Key would be defined as follows:
| Column | Defined As | |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Key | EASD UPDATE | |
| Custom Subkey | AUTHORIZATION | |
| Custom Subkey | USERNAME |
Each outbound service is defined in the same manner. The URL, User Name and Password are also stored in the same manner for each outbound service.
Pro-Active Work Flow#
For Employee status changes dated in the future, which are not handled by the standard work flow, a pro-active work flow must be defined and scheduled to run each day. The UMPWF update process must have the following fields defined.- Product
- User Calc Code: the one that was created in the client's Personality data base
- Where Clause
- Exception Level
- Schedule Start Date
- Run Start Time

The input is a set of transactions to be loaded. The response back will be an:
- OK condition if all transactions are loaded without incident, or
- If there is a problem with transactions, an error is generated with diagnostic information made available to the end user.
Time systems can send hours as well as an in/out times to Personality. The in/out times are not used, but must be stored for auditing purposes. There is an assumption that the Service does not provide rate overrides or position changes during this interaction.

Other than the validation that data is in the correct format, no further validation of data is done through this process. Additional validation is done through the Personality UPTR process.Output Data#

Auditing of Activity#
Inbound logging to Personality is captured in the Web Services Logging Table (P2K_WS_LOGS)- One record for each inbound transaction
- Viewed on the Web Services Incoming Daily Logs form (VWIDL)
- Custom reports can be created to export exceptions
Outbound logging from Personality is captured through Workflow logging and stored on the Executions table.
- Workflow logging must be turned on (IMST)
- Viewed on the Execution Run Logs form (VMEX/DMEX)
- Reported using RMEX or extracted using print_trace.sql sql script
Time Transaction Flow#
The client's interface initiates the transfer of time to Personality, Loaded Pay Lines (IPTL).- Transactions can be viewed and managed on IPTL
A Personality user processes the Loaded Pay Lines to the Pay Transaction table (IPTR)
- UPTL will transfer the loaded pay lines
- Errors will remain on IPTL and will be reported
- Correct errors and reprocess UPTL
Pay transactions are viewed and managed on IPTR
- Process pay transactions into pay headers for payroll processing (UPTR)
