Introduction
This document provides details on the seeded extract Business Object Key Map and the steps to create
a copy of the seeded extract that would enable FBL users to extract the GUID Key Mapping information
in to a report and also allows users to generate GUIDs for user defined entities in Fusion.

What is Business Object Key Map Extract?

Business Object Key Map Extract provides a solution in FBL 1.1 to update data created in Fusion HCM
outside the FBL solution including manually defining the data in Fusion and to allow users to extract the
GUID Key Mapping information stored in HRC_LOADER_BATCH_KEY_MAP table in to a report or
an XML file format.

Objective

Support update for data created in Fusion HCM for data created outside
the FBL solution including manually defining the data in Fusion.
Customers should be able to schedule the request for GUID generation
into Batch loader Key map tables

Business Object Key Map extract is delivered as a seeded HCM Extracts that creates the GUIDs for the
Business Objects selected by the user into the Key Map and also to generate an XML with the Key map
information.
The seeded extract definition will have blocks, extract records, and data elements. The seeded extract will
define we want to extract, how it is extracted, and how we want to deliver the extracted data. When you
submit an extract definition, the application creates a report process that you run to perform the actual
extraction of data.
