HCM - Data Validation - Job/Position Data

Purpose: This document is to provide colleges instructions on how to perform the validation of data in the PeopleSoft environment.

Colleges are being asked to review data that was converted from the legacy environment to PeopleSoft.  The goal of data validation is to ensure legacy data was accurately converted into PeopleSoft.  College Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are included in data validation as a learning experience in navigating the PeopleSoft application, selecting records to review, and reporting issues discovered.

College executives are asked to support the time and effort expended by college SMEs necessary to complete the following:

  • Develop a familiarity with navigating the relevant PeopleSoft menus and pages.
  • Review selected records, comparing legacy data to the records as converted into PeopleSoft.
  • Report issues discovered after careful review of converted data.
  • Monitor resolution of reported issues for review in the next conversion testing round.
  • Develop an approach for self-managing the data validation and issue reporting process in subsequent rounds of data conversion testing.

It is expected that College Data Validation SMEs will have already read the Data Validation Overview guides before beginning their validation activities:

Overview of Data Validation
Job/Position Conversion Summary

Job/Position Data includes but is not limited to

  • Job Codes
  • Job Locations
  • Departments
  • Salary/Compensation
  • The job record is validated, using the same criteria as used in the Bio/Demo validation to ensure that employee job records have been accurately converted from Legacy to PeopleSoft. We strongly recommend reviewing 100% of converted records very closely, since the Bio Demo and Job data drives the remaining conversion pieces in HCM.

There are multiple fields and screens within the Legacy system that are being referenced for conversion to the PeopleSoft Job Information fields and pages.

Legacy Screens

The following screens will be needed in Legacy for Bio Demo validation:

  • PS0001- Employee Status Screen
  • PS0002 Job Status Screen
  • PS0003 Job Account Screen
PS0001 & PS0003 Page Example
Conversion Validation Due Date

The Validation Results and Feedback are due NO LATER THAN on the last day of the Data Validation Period. It is strongly recommended that issues are reported EARLY in the validation period and are not held until the end of the period. Validation Results and Feedback are for reporting closure of the college's validation activities for the conversion cycle. To view a list of the validation periods please refer to the timeline topic in the Data Validation Overview - Getting Started Guide.

Conversion Detail Information

Bio Demo Validation must be completed, prior to the Job/Position Data Validation. Please refer to HCM Bio Demo Validation Guide on the Canvas Website for instructions.

PeopleSoft has been populated with Job and Employment data which has been extracted via conversion activity referred to as C-036, C-041, C-048, and C-044. The chart below identifies the legacy data that will populate some of the specified PeopleSoft Job/Employment fields

Conversion Background

For this cycle of conversion there is a high volume of fields to validate. It is recommended that validators focus primarily on the following areas:

  • Workforce Administration  Job Data
    • Department
    • Job Code
    • Shift/Full & Part-Time Status
    • Pay Group
    • Salary Plan/Grade/Step
    • Compensation/Frequency (Pay Cycle)
    • Seniority
Known Conversion Issues
  • Any employees hired into PPMS before the date of the Legacy snapshot will not be included in the data results for this cycle.
  • Any employee who does not have a an Active Job Record in PPMS within the current calendar year will not be converted during this cycle.
  • The sequencing in PeopleSoft starts with the #0; therefore, if an employee has more than one Empl Record (Job), the first job will be #0 and the second will be #1 and so on.
Minimum Validation Requirements

Data validatiors should review 100% of their converted records very closely, while making sure that most of the remaining population is correct at a glance.

Though not required, it’s recommended that the employees validated are made up of different groups (e.g. Classified Staff, Part Time Faculty, Faculty, and Exempt). Known exceptions to rules are also good to include in this kind of early stage validation.

Conversion Validation Steps
Prepare The PeopleSoft Screens
  1. The project team has created queries specific to the areas in which validation is required. Start by navigating to the Query Viewer page: NavBar > Navigator > Reporting Tools > Query > Query Viewer
Query Viewer Page Example
  1. Click New Window in the upper right hand corner
  2. Click the Home button (it looks like a house and is located above the Help button in the upper right hand corner)
  3. At this point there should be two browser windows open, one with the Query Viewer, and one with the Personal Information page
Run The Validation Queries And Compare To Legacy
  1. In the Query Viewer window, click the drop down box next to Search By and select Folder Name. In the box next to “begins with”, type VALIDATION and click the Search button.
  2. The following queries should appear:
    • CTC_VALIDATE_JOB_DATA shows all Job Data fields relevant for this validation cycle
Query Viewer With Results Example
  1. Click “Run to Excel” on any of the queries to run the query in a new window. This will allow sorting and filter capabilities. Make sure the pop up blocker in your browser is not blocking the ability to run the query.
  2. After selecting a query to run, use the magnifying glass in the query window to select a viable Company code from the table (or type in your college number), and Click “View Results” to display the Excel file output. It is best practice to Save the Excel file to avoid having to run it multiple times.

Note: IF THE QUERY IS TOO LARGE:

There may be a message stating that the “Query Results are too large…”, in order to obtain the full query results the query will need to be scheduled to run.

To schedule a query click on the “Schedule” link associated with the selected query:

Schedule Link Highlighted Example

The first 2 fields are defaulted and no changes are needed. The Run Control ID field will need to be populated. For the purposes of scheduling a validation query, please enter 1 in this field then click on the “Add” button.

Query Company Page Example

This will provide the prompt values used by the query. In this example the query the prompts will be for Company (140 for Clark, 890 for State Board, etc.). Click the OK button once the desired value has been entered.

Schedule Query Page Example

Verify that the prompt values are correct. If you need to update the values, you can click on the “Update Parameters” hyperlink and change the values as needed. If values are correct, click on the Apply button.

Process Scheduler Page Example

Click OK to run the query.

Schedule Query Page Example

Click on the Process Monitor hyperlink to monitor the status of the process running. Press Refresh occasionally until the Run Status is "Success" and the Distribution Status is "Posted."

Process Detail Page Example

Once the Run Status is “Success” and the Distribution Status is “Posted”, click on the Details hyperlink.

Submitting Data Validation Results

College Data Validation SMEs will communicate any conversion issues  they encounter during their data validation via the Oracle Test Manager  (OTM) application. The ctcLink Testing Team will provide OTM   orientation materials before the data validation period for any College  Data Validation SMEs who are not familiar with the tool.  Please refer  to the  Data Validation Overview - Reporting Issues guide for more information on using OTM.

When logging a new issue in OTM related to data being validated  through this guide, remember to use the following values for these  specific required fields in your issue entry under the project tied to this Deployment Group and Data Validation Cycle.

  • Summary: (Provide a title for the issue discovered)
  • Assigned To: Sanjiv Bhagat
  • Status: (Leave as NEW)
  • College or Location : (Specify the college or district)
