1 FNDLOAD Description

Generic Loader
The Generic Loader (FNDLOAD) is a concurrent program that can move Oracle Applications data
between database and text file representations. The loader reads a configuration file to determine
what data to access. For information on specific configuration files consult the Open Interfaces
Guide for your product group. The following sections describe the operation of the Generic
Loader.

Warning: Use only the loader files provided by Oracle Applications. If you use files not provided
by Oracle Applications or modify the provided scripts you risk corrupting your database. Oracle
does not support the use of custom loader files or modified Oracle Applications loader files.

FNDLOAD Executable
The Generic Loader is a concurrent program named FNDLOAD. The concurrent executable takes
the following parameters: FNDLOAD apps/pwd 0 Y mode configfile datafile entity [ param ...]
Where

<apps/pwd>
The APPS schema and password in the form username/password[@connect_string]. If
connect_string is omitted, it is taken in a platform-specific manner from the environment using the
name TWO_TASK.

<0Y>
Concurrent program flags UPLOAD or DOWNLOAD. UPLOAD causes the datafile to be
uploaded to the database. DOWNLOAD causes the loader to fetch rows and write them to the
datafile.
<congle>
The configuration file to use (usually with a suffix of .lct, but not enforced or supplied by the
loader).

<datale>
The data file to write (usually with a suffix of .ldt, but not enforced or supplied by the loader). If the
data file already exists, it will be overwritten.

<entity>
The entity(ies) to upload or download. When uploading, you should always upload all entities, so
specify a "-" to upload all entities.

< [param] >

Zero or more additional parameters are used to provide bind values in the access SQL (both
UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD). Each parameter is in the form NAME=VALUE. NAME should not
conflict with an attribute name for the entities being loaded.

2 Syntax for Download for all seeded objects

The Generic Loader (FNDLOAD) is a concurrent program that can transfer Oracle Application
entity data between database and text file. The loader reads a configuration file to determine
which entity to access.

Download Request Set definitions (Using Entity "REQ_SET")

$FNDLOAD sqllogon 0 Y DOWNLOAD @FND:patch/115/import/afcprset.lct <sample>.ldt
REQ_SET REQUEST_SET_NAME="<Request_Set_Name>"

Usage of entity "REQ_SET" with FNDLOAD will download request definitions of

<Request_Set_Name> into <sample>.ldt using information in afcprset.lct Check the
version of afcprset.lct that is compatible with your FND Patchset Level.

Example, use afcprset.lct 115.21 in case of Applications version 11.5.8

Download Request Set Stage links information. (Using Entity

"REQ_SET_LINKS")
$FNDLOAD sqllogon 0 Y DOWNLOAD @FND:patch/115/import/afcprset.lct
<sample_links>.ldt REQ_SET_LINKS REQUEST_SET_NAME="<Request_Set_Name>"

Usage of entity "REQ_SET_LINKS" with FNDLOAD will download request stage linkage
information of <Request_Set_Name> into <sample_links>. ldt using information in
afcprset.lct .Check the version of afcprset.lct that is compatible with your FND Patchset
Level.

Now,use the resultant files <sample>.ldt and <sample_links>.ldt for uploading the
Request Set data in another Instance, by using the commands given below int he
following sequence :-

Upload Request Set definitions.

$FNDLOAD apps/<apps_pwd> 0 Y UPLOAD @FND:patch/115/import/afcprset.lct &
lt;sample>.ldt

Upload Request Set Stage links information.

$FNDLOAD apps/<apps_pwd> 0 Y UPLOAD @FND:patch/115/import/afcprset.lct &
lt;sample_links>.ldt

All the required Concurrent Program definitions should exist before loading the Request
Set on the Target Instance.
