What is EFF in BI

The following is a very simple summary of the general implementation steps used for EFF's,with much more detail to be found inthe documentation:

1. Identify the extensible flexfield and create a new context for multirows.
2. Define segments for the context.
3. Associate the context to the EFF category on the page.
4. Add the context to the EFF page.
5. Deploy the flexfield and test.

Including Flexfields In Integration

Both EFF and DFF flexfields are available in most different integration capabilities,so extra information is not just stored but also shared.?

For use with reports and analytics both flexfield types have the "BI Enabled" property on the edit segment attributes page which can be used to ensure it is populated in the related RPD. These are then shown in the Subject Areas in the BI Catalog.

Most functional web services also include support for related flexfields (both DFF and EFF). For example theItemService includes a createItem operation that allows you to populate the EFF for additional information,along with dedicated delete operations. The same is true for the WorkerService SOAP service or the Release 10 General Availability of the 'Employee' RESTful service (<your env>/hcmCoreApi/resources/latest/emps) which has POST support for creating new records and has child /PersonDFF and /PersonEFF resources. This was summarised inRelease9 and detail on these can be found in Oracle Enterprise Repository and our own Release 10 content coming soon.

Flexfield is a way of capturing business data which has not been captured in the pages.

弹性域是一种捕获业务数据的方式，专门捕获在页面上无法捕获到的业务数据。主要有两种，DFF（Descriptive Flexfield）和 EFF（Extensible Flexfield）。

Descriptive Flexfield has been introduced to capture additional business data which are required for the business but no standard UI region has been put in the pages.

DFF 用于捕获附加的业务数据， 这些附加的业务数据在特定的业务上是被需要的，但是在标准的UI上不被体现。

Navigator - Workforce Structure - Manage Job - Search for "Manager" - Username - Highlight Flexfield - Configure DFF。
