Chapter 9: Best Practices and Optimization Techniques

🔷 Objective

Provide a set of recommended best practices and optimization methods to enhance performance, maintainability, and scalability of HCM Extracts.

🔷 Design Best Practices

  • Use meaningful names for extract definitions, attributes, and groups

  • Avoid redundant or unused attributes

  • Group related attributes into logical blocks

  • Keep fast formulas modular and reusable

🔷 Performance Optimization

  • Use effective filtering (e.g., WHERE clause or Context Filters)

  • Avoid large extract runs by using incremental/delta extracts

  • Minimize complex nested fast formulas

  • Monitor extract performance using Execution History logs

🔷 Maintenance Tips

  • Keep version control of changes (description updates, comments)

  • Regularly test extracts with new data

  • Reuse common user entities and formulas where possible

  • Clean up unused extract definitions

🔷 Data Security and Compliance

  • Mask sensitive fields in output files

  • Use roles and data security profiles to control access

  • Enable audit trails for extract access and output delivery

🔷 Scheduling and Automation Tips

  • Use meaningful names for scheduled jobs

  • Time schedules based on non-peak hours

  • Automate post-processing via ESS Jobs or Web Services

🔷 Documentation and Support

  • Document logic, structure, formulas, and delivery methods

  • Maintain logs of known issues and fixes

  • Train support teams with use-case-based scenarios

🏁 Conclusion

Adopting a disciplined approach to extract design, scheduling, and security ensures long-term success and scalability for enterprise HCM reporting solutions.
