Updating Military Ranks in Job Data and Profiles

This topic provides an overview of military rank updates in Job Data and rank tracking in Manage Profiles.

Military rank changes are tracked in a person's Job Data record. This table lists the pages and fields that you typically update when you enter a military rank change (you may need to update additional pages and fields):

All the entries on the page could change depending on what the rank change involves and the service member's job. An action code may vary too depending upon other job changes related to the rank change, such as promotion or department transfer.

If you're organizing part or all of PeopleSoft Human Resources by position, military rank information does not default from the position.

PeopleSoft Human Resources Manage Profiles manages the attributes of jobs or individuals. Typically, profiles summarize the competencies, qualifications, and skills of a job or a person as well as a service member's military ranks. The profile search and compare features enable you to perform searches for profiles that match user-defined criteria and easily compare profiles.

In order to keep military rank profiles up to date with Job Data, use the Refresh Names and Profiles MIL process (MIL_NAME_BLD). The system uses the HCM Event Manager to raise an event when a change to an assignment's military rank has occurred and execute this change.

The following prerequisites must be in place prior to running the Refresh Names and Profiles MIL process:

  • The Integration Broker must be active.

  • In HCM Event Manager, the event AssignmentMilitaryRankChanged must be active.

See PeopleSoft: Events and Notifications, "Understanding the Events and Notifications Framework"

See PeopleSoft HR: Manage Profiles.

Note: Oracle PeopleSoft delivers Notification Composer Framework to manage the setup and administration of all notifications in one central location.

Once you have adopted the Notification Composer feature, you must use it to create new notifications and manage your existing notifications.

Notifications delivered with HCM Image 47 or later must use Notification Composer.

For more information about Notification Composer Framework, see Understanding Notification Composer.
