Atom Feeds

This basically an outbound event type mechanism, so if specific changes happen in Fusion HCM, your RSS reader (or program) that is subscribed to the related "Feeds" will pick up these entries to the feed.

Additional Details under the REST tab.

Atom/RSS feeds in R9.2 will include

• 1. New Hire

  2. Terminations

  3. Employee Updates

  4. Employee Assignments

"Creates", "Deletes" or "Updates to any of fields" on the /emps or /assignments rest resource, will result in a feed being generated. The feed entry contains some basic attributes and the old and new values for any changed attributes (exception is sensitive information, which is excluded). Note that your Client Application can always follow a link in the feed entry to the "resource" to retrieve additional attributes.

The same applies to the "Workstructure" resources.

Atom Security

Atom is a RESTFul service so the WS-Security policies applicable to REST apply here as well. Fusion function security applies and the user accessing the Atom Feed must have a role that has access to the Atom Feed resource. Data Security however is the responsibility of the Client Application as the Atom Feed is published without knowledge of the consumer [This is the reason we exclude any sensitive attributes from the entry's content].
