Groovy expression in Oracle Fusion Hcm

August 31, 2023

Oracle Fusion HCM (Human Capital Management) allows Groovy expressions to extend its built-in functionalities. Groovy is a dynamic, object-oriented language for the Java platform, and it can be used in Oracle Fusion HCM to define custom formulas, criteria, and so on.

How to Use Groovy in Oracle Fusion HCM:

Navigate to the Appropriate Screen: Typically, Groovy expressions can be used in Fast Formulas, Object Functions, and other areas where custom logic needs to be defined.
Enable Groovy Scripting: Some features may require enabling Groovy scripting specifically for your module. Check your Oracle Fusion documentation for details.
Write Your Groovy Expression: In the area where Groovy expressions are allowed, write your Groovy script. For example:
groovyCopy code
if (jobTitle == “Manager”) {
Return “Eligible for Bonus”;
} else {
Return “Not Eligible”;
}
Testing: Before saving, it’s essential to test your Groovy expression. Some parts of the Oracle Fusion HCM interface allow for in-line testing.
Debugging: Oracle Fusion HCM often provides tools to check if your Groovy code is running as expected.
Save and Deploy: Once you’ve verified that your code works as expected, save and deploy your changes.

Best Practices to Avoid Spam Filtering for Bulk Emails:

Since you mentioned that you’ll be sending bulk emails and want to avoid spam filters, here are some best practices:

Use a Valid From Address: Make sure the email “From” address is a valid, existing email address.
Avoid Spam Trigger Words: Words like “Free,” “Win,” etc., in the subject line or body can trigger spam filters.
Personalization: Personalizing the email can help in better delivery rates.
Plain Text and HTML Versions: Always include plain text and HTML versions of the email content.
Rate Limiting: Do not send all emails simultaneously; stagger them to avoid appearing as spam.
Unsubscribe Link: Always include an easy way to unsubscribe from your emails.
SPF/DKIM/DMARC: Use these email authentication methods to verify that the email is coming from your domain.
