How to create ESS Job Set in Oracle Fusion

We've seen the definition and structure of a custom ESS Job in Oracle Fusion here

Now let's see how to create a job set comprising of multiple ESS jobs.

ESS Job Set is useful when there's a need to run multiple ESS jobs for any activity (in sequence or parallel) in Oracle Cloud. Basically, the traditional Concurrent Request Set from EBS has been replaced with an ESS Job Set in Oracle ERP Cloud. 

Let's see how to define an ESS Job Set.

Below example will create a job set which will run two HCM jobs shown below. Read Only initial parameter values come from the job set but  non-read only parameters come from the job definition.

1. Identify the jobs to be included in ESS Job Set -
    a. Generate Cloud Usage Metrics (seeded job)
    b. XX HCM Job (custom job)

2. Run these jobs individually. This will ensure that the jobs are running without issues and users will be able to collect  runtime information about the ESS jobs.

- Navigate to the product specific task. In this example "Manage Custom Enterprise Scheduler Jobs for HCM Core Processes"

- Click on Manage Job Sets tab.
