1.PreviewRelease – November 3rd, 2018
2.Production Release – December 1st, 2018
Major Enhancements:
1.Propagation Config. based on Business Rules:
migrate XML based propagation to business rules – Reference Number: ECT-102017
What is it?
The ‘HRIS Propagation Configuration XML’ which allows to automatically fill fields from certain foundation and MDF objects into employment data will be replaced by Business Rules. I.e. The existing rules in XML will be translated into ‘onChange’ business rules and automatically migrated.
Why is it important?
This will simplify the adaption of propagation rules as they are available in the admin tools (no need to submit support tickets to adjust the XML). It also increases flexibility as Business Rules allow more sophisticated logic and can be easier handled. As a consequence:
-Neither use nor maintenance of existing XML based rules will be possible from b1811 on
-Any future change in behavior of propagation has to be managed by business rules.
Prerequisites
None
