1Z0-1048-26 practice question 3 of 15

Your client wants to minimize the validation rules that execute against a time card and only under certain circumstances they want certain validation rules, if required, to display validation messages. Which option will accomplish your customer’s goals?

Answer options

A: Create a new validation formula/template and rule that accesses HCM data to only execute if certain HR data exists for the worker and processes the validation logic on the time entries. Place the rule that uses the formula in a rule set and assign the rule set using an appropriate profile.

B: Place the validation rules in a rule set, assigning a properly formatted time category on the same rows in the rule set. Assign the rule set to the workers using an appropriate profile. Correct answer

C: Create a new formula/template and rule that uses an input parameter to check for certain values defined in the rule using a time category input parameter. When present, complete execution of the rule. Place the rule that uses the formula in a rule set and assign the rule set using an appropriate profile.

D: Create a formula that incorporates program logic to check for certain time card entries and, when present, execute the validation rule. Create the new template and rule. Place the rule that uses the formula in a rule set and assign the rule set using an appropriate profile.

Correct Answer:

B. Place the validation rules in a rule set, assigning a properly formatted time category on the same rows in the rule set. Assign the rule set to the workers using an appropriate profile.

Explanation

Oracle Time and Labor lets you attach a time category to each row of a rule set. At run time the engine first checks the time card for entries that match the category; only if a match exists are the validation rules on that row executed and, if required, their messages displayed. Because rules whose category isn’t met are never invoked, this approach minimizes processing and satisfies the requirement that validations run only in specific circumstances.

Why Incorrect

A. Rule still launches for every time card; HR-data filter happens inside the rule, so processing isn’t minimized.
C. The rule always executes; parameter checking occurs after invocation, so no reduction in rule firing.
D. Embeds conditional logic inside the formula but the rule is invoked on every submission, defeating the stated goal.
