Oracle HRMS Database

Oracle HRMS Database Details with discussion and questions to Ponder.

HRMS Database tables:

HR Work structuresPER Personnel and AssignmentPAY Compensation and BenefitsBEN Benefit related
informationFF Fast Formula related

VIEWS IN HRMS Database:

Forms are front-end screens displaying information from various tables. Views are created to collect the same
information in one place. Then the Oracle applications form will call the view to retrieve the data.

This will simplify data presentation to the users of HRMS by hiding underlying tables, views and joins.

Some views are used just to present the current data and not historical data.

Some views are used in multiple forms rather than just one.

Example: PER_PEOPLE_V view retrieves data from HR_LOOKUPS, PER_PERSON_TYPES,

PER_PERIODS_OF_SERVICE tables and PER_PEOPLE view.

PER_PEOPLE_V is used behind the Person form. When we query a person in the Person form, it will bring

i) Last name, First name, Middle name, etc., details from PER_PEOPLE view which in-turn retrieves the data from
PER_PEOPLE_F table.

ii) Type of person like Employee or Ex-Employee from PER_PERSON_TYPES table.

iii) Title of the person from HR_LOOKUPS table.

HR_LOCATIONS – Definition of locations.

HR_ORGANIZATION_INFORMATION – Additional information about organization based on type of organization
