How to Use FNDLOAD?

LDT (Data Loader Files)- This files are Used to upload & download setup data on different instances.
LCT (Data Config Files)- This files are used to create LDT Files. There are difference lct files for different sets of data.
Eg: Request Set- afcpreqg.lct, Concurrent Program- afcpprog.lct, Value Set- afffload.lct..etc..
** Now lets take a simple example where you want to migrate 1 concurrent program from Development (DEV) instance to Production (PROD).
Step 1: Login to Unix Development server and change the directory using following Command where you can store your LDT files:cd $CUST_TOP/ patch/115/import/US/ (where CUST_TOP is your custom top on server)
Step 2: Run the following command by supplying the parameters given in {} as per your needFNDLOAD {userid/password@connect_string} O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct {file_name.ldt} PROGRAM APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="{your_application_short_name}" CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_NAME="{your_concurrent_name}"The above command will generate ldt file in your custom top directory ($CUST_TOP/ patch/115/import/US/ )
Step 3: Copy the LDT file from Development Server to your local desktop
Step 4: Login to Unix Production Server and copy the LDT files from local desktop to Production Server on following path:$CUST_TOP/ patch/115/import/US/ {file_name.ldt}
Step 5: Finally Run the following command by supplying all parameters in {} to upload concurrent program definition on production application server.$ FNDLOAD {userid/password@connect_string} 0 Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct $CUST_TOP/patch/115/import/US/{file_name}.ldt
Note: 1) All above FNDLOAD commands are single line commands.2) All above steps will remain exactly same for all kind of setup data (Eg: Value Set, CP, Req.group, DFF…etc) except the name of LCT file (.lct). LCT file will be different for every different component because the setup data is different.
