section 2Perform an Action on a Worker

Some of the commonly performed employment actions have been delivered as custom actions to simplify a multi-step process, or to perform the actions that can't be performed directly via the standard HTTP methods.

Actions have a different content type than resources (application/vnd.oracle.adf.action+json).

  1. Add a request to ##_WorkersCollection.

  2. Give the request the name Add a Temporary Assignment.
  3. Click Save to ##_WorkersCollection.
  4. Specify the method as POST.

  5. Enter the url for the assignment item or {{Assignment_href}} if you set global variables:

    {{url}}/hcmRestApi/resources/11.13.18.05/workers/{id}/child/workRelationships/{id}/child/assignments/{id}

  6. Give the request the following headers:

    Key Value
    REST-Framework-Version 4
    Content-Type application/vnd.oracle.adf.action+json

  7. Add the request body. None is selected by default, raw must be used to add content.

    Request Body:

    {
"actionCode":"TEMP_ASG" ,
"effectiveDate":"{{5DaysAhead}}" ,
"businessUnitName":"BusinessUnit2"
}
