  • Employee Record Number
    • Where it appears:
    • If you stored the value of employeeRecord 1 in your application data, you should change it from 1 to 0 right before February 23, 2021.
      • Why? Our current data feed from PeopleSoft translates employee record number 0 to be employee record number 1, and that's how we present it in UHIMS Events and LDAP.  There was never the possibility of an actual employee record number 1 in PeopleSoft, but that will no longer be true after this upgrade.
    • If you used the employee record number solely for the purpose of figuring out the employee's home record (it used to be that the lowest number would always be the home record), you should instead use the employee home record indicator (see below).
  • Employee Home Record
    • Where it appears:
      • UHIMS Events, appears as isHomeRecord field in affiliation and scoped home org messages
      • CAS/LDAP, the uhScopedHomeOrg attribute whose value begins with dataOrigin=hris is the employee home record.  All HR fields that appear here correspond to the home record.
    • There are no changes to the isHomeRecord data element itself. We are only highlighting it here, in case you were reading employeeRecord values only to figure out the home record.  You should always use isHomeRecord, not employeeRecord numbers for this purpose.
  • EAC (Employing Agency Code)
    • Where it appears:
    • If your application uses the EAC, you need to figure out how it needs to be modified to handle a complete overhaul of EAC values.
      • The EAC will change in length from 8 to 11 characters.
      • Most of the existing EACs will be converted by adding a leading zero as follows:
        • 22 50 31 00 → 22 050 031 000
      • There will be some new EAC values altogether, i.e. not the result of converting from an existing EAC as done above.
    • If you use the EAC indirectly via UH Groupings, we will make the change to your grouping definitions.
    • If you use the EAC by talking directly to Grouper (e.g. via API), you should change to the new EAC values after the upgrade.
    • Time permitting, we may support backward compatibility by linking old and new EACs in the UH Group Store
  • Job Code and Grade
    • Where it appears:
    • The grade will no longer be appended to the jobCode. It will appear as a separate data element.
    • The job code and grade values will change for a lot of people with the upgrade.  For example, the functional code will become the job code for APT employees.
  • Functional Code
    • Where it appears:
    • The functionalCode is gone after the upgrade.  Please check with your HR/PeopleSoft contact if you need to address this.
  • Employee Type Code
    • Where it appears:
    • Your application should account for a new value of P (person of interest) that can now appear in employeeTypeCode.
      • The role value for these individuals will likely be "staff.nonCompensated" or "other"
    • What we know thus far about the person of interest (POI) category:
      • These are not employees, and they are not compensated. For example, non-employee PI's that need to approve workflow processes in PeopleSoft.
      • Current employees with the non-compensated job code are also considered POIs, but they are already accounted for under the non-compensated staff category.
  • New data elements
    • The following new fields will appear in UHIMS Events affiliation messages and inside the uhScopedHomeOrg CAS/LDAP attribute:
      • grade
      • jobFunction
      • departmentID
