Why I picked it
Building and maintaining extracts gets a clear, guided page instead of the old maze.
Where it helps
An admin copies a delivered extract, adjusts it and previews the result before submitting.
Watch out: Copy Oracle's delivered definitions before changing them.
From Oracle's note
Oracle’s Redwood Extract Definitions page consolidates the main create-and-manage workflow for HCM extracts. Administrators can search and filter existing or seeded definitions, copy a seed before tailoring it, or start from a template or create a new definition. The page supports import, export, rename, delete and upgrade actions, plus review of dependencies and extract hierarchy. A guided create flow separates definition, design, delivery and validation, with a preview before submission; generated extracts still follow configured delivery options.
- Find definitions by name, type, status or legislative data group.
- Create from a template or new definition; import, copy, export, rename, delete or upgrade.
- Review dependencies and hierarchy, then validate and preview before submission.
The Redwood page is disabled by default. Set ORA_HCM_EXTRACT_DEFINITIONS_REDWOOD_ENABLED to Yes and grant PER_MANAGE_HCM_EXTRACT_DEFINITION_PRIV. Copy Oracle-seeded definitions before tailoring them rather than changing the delivered definition directly.
