FNDLOAD

FNDLOAD Executable

Reference: 274667.1 / 287417.1

Definition: 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.

This can be defined as FNDLOAD can be download data from an application entity into an editable text file,
which can be uploaded to another database.

How it works

Conversion between database format and text file format is specified by a configuration file. Oracle does
provide configuration file and it is important to just pass the configuration file name and then call the
loader and leave everything.
