The HRI_ORG_PARAMS table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 is a critical component of the Human Resources Intelligence (HRI) module, which is part of the Oracle HR Analytics framework. This table stores organizational parameters and configurations that govern how workforce analytics and reporting functionalities operate within the system. Below is a detailed breakdown of its structure, purpose, and significance in Oracle EBS implementations.

Overview of HRI_ORG_PARAMS

The HRI_ORG_PARAMS table acts as a repository for organizational-level settings that influence the behavior of HRI dashboards, metrics, and reports. It is primarily used to define parameters such as organizational hierarchies, workforce segmentation rules, and analytical thresholds. These parameters enable administrators to tailor workforce analytics to align with business requirements, ensuring that reports reflect organizational structures and operational nuances accurately.

Key Columns and Their Functions

The table consists of several columns, each serving a specific purpose:
  • ORG_PARAM_ID: A unique identifier for each parameter record, typically a surrogate key.
  • ORGANIZATION_ID: References the organization unit (from HR_ORGANIZATION_UNITS) to which the parameter applies.
  • PARAMETER_NAME: Specifies the name of the parameter (e.g., "HIERARCHY_DEPTH," "SEGMENTATION_RULE").
  • PARAMETER_VALUE: Stores the value assigned to the parameter, which could be numeric, textual, or a code.
  • EFFECTIVE_START_DATE and EFFECTIVE_END_DATE: Define the validity period of the parameter, allowing for temporal adjustments.
  • CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE: Audit columns tracking record creation and modifications.

Functional Role in Oracle EBS

The HRI_ORG_PARAMS table plays a pivotal role in configuring workforce analytics. For example:
  • Hierarchy Management: Parameters like "HIERARCHY_DEPTH" control how deeply organizational hierarchies are traversed in reports, enabling granular or high-level views.
  • Segmentation Rules: Defines criteria for grouping employees (e.g., by job role, location) for targeted analytics.
  • Threshold Settings: Configures thresholds for metrics such as turnover rates or headcount variances, triggering alerts when exceeded.

Integration with Other Modules

The table integrates with core HR tables (HR_ORGANIZATION_UNITS, PER_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS) and HRI-specific tables (HRI_METADATA, HRI_INDICATORS) to ensure seamless data flow. For instance, when generating a headcount report, the system references HRI_ORG_PARAMS to determine which organizational levels to include and how to segment the data.

Technical Considerations

In Oracle EBS 12.2.2, the table benefits from the architecture's online patching (ADOP) capabilities, ensuring parameter changes are applied without downtime. Administrators should note that:
  • Direct DML operations on HRI_ORG_PARAMS are discouraged; instead, use seeded APIs or HRI configuration screens.
  • Parameter changes may require concurrent program execution (e.g., "HRI: Refresh Workforce Analytics") to propagate updates.

Conclusion

The HRI_ORG_PARAMS table is a cornerstone of Oracle HRI, enabling flexible and organization-specific workforce analytics. Its proper configuration ensures that HR dashboards and reports deliver actionable insights aligned with business hierarchies and operational goals. Understanding its structure and interdependencies is essential for HR analytics administrators in Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 environments.
