We need to migrate all our Contingent Workers (CWK) to system type of EMP (over 3000 of them). Thanks to iProcurement!

We plan to terminate their placements and then rehire them as Contractors (with an system person type of EMP).

We can terminate their placements through an API.

We can rehire them through the Person Form, but there is no publically callable API to rehire EX-CWK only EX-EMP.

Does anyone know of a way of getting around this programatically, preferably in a supported way?

If not, has anyone had to investiate how the Person Form re-hires an EX-CWK and what non-public API it uses?

Hello Mr Spiro

I believe you have a bug here. The API HR_EMPLOYEE_API.hire_into_job looks like it should, because it specifically looks for the person types 'EX_EMP','EX_APL' and 'OTHER'. Seems to me it ought to be allowing 'EX_CWK' as well.

In terms of working out what the form does, I refer you to a post elsewhere on here regarding the tracing of forms activity! However, I suspect it is calling PER_PEOPLE_V7_PKG.rehire (or maybe PER_PEOPLE_V15_PKG.rehire)

Kind Regards

Clive

Thanks Clive.

Based on your information I have since found out from Metalink (Note: 277349.1) that the HR_EMPLOYEE_API.hire_into_job API has been modified to work for Contingent Workers since Family Pack H. We are only on FP E.

Trying for a backport now!
