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. In simple words FNDLOAD is used to transfer entity data from one instance/database to other. For example if you want to move a concurrent program/menu/valuesets developed in DEVELOPMENT instance to PRODUCTION instance you can use this command.

Steps to Move a Concurrent program from one instance(Database) to other

  • Define your concurrent program and save it in first instance(for how to register a concurrent program click here)
  • Connect to your UNIX box on first instance and run the following command to download the .ldt file

FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct file_name.ldt PROGRAM APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="Concurrent program application short name" CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_NAME="concurrent program short name"

  • Move the downloaded .ldf file to new instance(Use FTP)
  • Connect to your UNIX box on second instance and run the following command to upload the .ldt file

              FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct

              file_name.ldt

Note: Make sure you are giving proper .lct file in the commands and don’t confuse with .lct and .ldt files

These following are the other entity data types that we can move with FNDLOAD

1 - Printer Styles
FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcppstl.lct file_name.ldt STYLE PRINTER_STYLE_NAME="printer style name"

2 - Lookups
FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/aflvmlu.lct file_name.ldt FND_LOOKUP_TYPE APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="FND" 
LOOKUP_TYPE="lookup name"

3 - Descriptive Flexfield with all of specific Contexts
FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afffload.lct file_name.ldt DESC_FLEX P_LEVEL=COL_ALL:REF_ALL:CTX_ONE:SEG_ALL APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="FND" DESCRIPTIVE_FLEXFIELD_NAME="desc flex name" P_CONTEXT_CODE="context name"

4 - Key Flexfield Structures
FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afffload.lct file_name.ldt KEY_FLEX P_LEVEL=COL_ALL:FQL_ALL:SQL_ALL:STR_ONE:WFP_ALL:SHA_ALL:CVR_ALL:SEG_ALL APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="FND" ID_FLEX_CODE="key flex code" P_STRUCTURE_CODE="structure name"

5 - Concurrent Programs
FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct file_name.ldt PROGRAM APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="FND" CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_NAME="concurrent name"

6 - Value Sets
FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afffload.lct file_name.ldt VALUE_SET_VALUE FLEX_VALUE_SET_NAME="value set name"

7 - Value Sets with values
FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afffload.lct file_name.ldt VALUE_SET FLEX_VALUE_SET_NAME="value set name"

8 - Profile Options
FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afscprof.lct file_name.ldt PROFILE PROFILE_NAME="profile option" APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="FND"

8 - Request Groups
FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpreqg.lct file_name.ldt REQUEST_GROUP REQUEST_GROUP_NAME="request group" APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="FND"

10 - Request Sets
FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcprset.lct file_name.ldt REQ_SET
APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="FND" REQUEST_SET_NAME="request set"

11 - Responsibilities
FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afscursp.lct file_name.ldt FND_RESPONSIBILITY RESP_KEY="responsibility"

12 - Menus
FNDLOAD apps/apps O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afsload.lct file_name.ldt MENU MENU_NAME="menu_name"

13 - Forms Personalization
FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/affrmcus.lct file_name.ldt FND_FORM_CUSTOM_RULES function_name=FUNCTION_NAME

Note: UPLOAD command is same for all except replacing the .lct and passing any extra parameters if you want to pass

            FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/corresponding.lct upload_file.ldt

I like the introductory part and 2nd paragraph explaining migration of the concurrent program, espesially the sentence about the proper configuration lct file. This is the most common reason for error as well as wrong parameter values. To make the migration really simple, our company developed GUI for FNDLOAD. It makes the sentence about wrong configuration file and wrong parameter values obsolete. Everything done by the GUI. User only chooses the objects to migrate. Migration LogiK executes FNDLOAD and downloads both log and definition files to the client machint. User makes the decision on which objects to migrate. It clearly separates decision making process from the routine execution and file transfer acivities.

.lct and .ldt files are plain text based and easily readable through any text editors. Could you elaborate more on the issue you are facing in FNDLOAD?

MigrationLogiK has now XMLPubliser Data source and templates definitions available for download or upload.

I will explain Sekhar's problem.
While I login to FND_TOP/admin/import directory,I am not seeing any lct or ldt file there.How to get all those files?
And also how can I understand which ldt is for which menu?
