Using the employee import processor extension script

Follow the steps to create and use Groovy-based extension scripts for employee import processing. You can use extension scripts for both pre- and post-processing.

Note: Using the extension script is optional. You can continue to use the default processors. However, if a script is provided, it is used instead.
  1. Create an extension script with a script type of employee-import-processor. For instructions, see the Infor Workforce Management Custom Scripting Developer Guide.
  2. Create or edit the EMPLOYEE INTERFACE Interface Layout. See Defining the interface layout.
  3. In the Interface Processors section of the Interface Layouts - Details page, specify this information:
    Extension Script
    Use the lookup to add the script in the Extension Script column.
    Execution Order
    Enter a number that identifies the order in which each processor and script is run. For example, specify 1 for the processor that runs first and 2 for a post-processing extension script that runs second.
    Note: You cannot use both an extension script and processor in the same row.
  4. After completing the creation or update, click Save.
Note: Changes to any Context Object made in a processor prior to invoking the Core processor are saved using the save method within the Core processor.

Any processor that is invoked after the Core processor cannot save any Context Object changes. In these cases, use the relevant Public APIs to directly update the rows as required.
