Update an existing employee contract using HCM Data Loader.

Hi Experts,

I’m trying to update an employee contract using HDL. The employee already has an active contract and I need to update it as part of a contract extension.

Below is the HDL file I am using:

METADATA|WorkTerms|AssignmentNumber|PersonNumber|EffectiveStartDate|EffectiveEndDate|ActionCode|EffectiveSequence|SourceSystemOwner|SourceSystemId
MERGE|WorkTerms|E111307|111307|2025/07/01|4712/12/31|CONTRACT_EXTENSION|1|TG|WT1

METADATA|Assignment|AssignmentNumber|WorkTermsNumber|EffectiveStartDate|EffectiveEndDate|ActionCode|EffectiveSequence|SourceSystemOwner|SourceSystemId
MERGE|Assignment|E111307|E111307|2025/07/01|4712/12/31|CONTRACT_EXTENSION|1|TG|ASG1

METADATA|Contract|PersonNumber|AssignmentNumber|EffectiveStartDate|EffectiveEndDate|ContractType|SourceSystemOwner|SourceSystemId|ContractId

Howdy, Stranger!
