Why use Data Loader?

There's no direct way to modify Oracle Apps data

That's what Oracle Corporation itself says. Oracle does provide Open Interface tables, but loading data through them is a tedious exercise.

Our tools load data through front‑end forms as though entered by a user — so every validation is performed, and your data integrity stays intact.

"Do Not Use Database Tools to Modify Oracle Applications Data. Oracle provides powerful tools you can use to create, store, change, retrieve and maintain information in an Oracle database. But if you use Oracle tools like SQL*Plus to modify Oracle Applications data, you risk destroying the integrity of your data and you lose the ability to audit changes to your data.

Because Oracle Applications tables are interrelated, any change you make using an Oracle Applications form can update many tables at once. But when you modify Oracle Applications data using anything other than Oracle Applications forms, you may change a row in one table without making corresponding changes in related tables.

Consequently, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you never use SQL*Plus, Oracle Data Browser, database triggers, or any other tool to modify Oracle Applications tables, unless we tell you to do so in our manuals."

How Forms Data Loader loads your data

Forms Data Loader fills data in Forms by simulating keystrokes as though typed by a user. It provides a spreadsheet interface where you enter data and keystrokes to send to the forms. Building a load is easy — learn it in minutes with our demo series. Though focused on Oracle ERP, it works with virtually any application form, whether SAP, HTML, or otherwise. More...

Using this feature, Forms Data Loader loads data accurately and several times faster than Macro Loading. It's more reliable — the load stops whenever an error occurs, because Oracle Forms executes the load itself. You use Forms Data Loader only to develop the load.

  1. Step 1: Run Oracle Application Forms in record mode and enter 2+ records in the form you want to load.
  2. Step 2: Open the recorded file in Forms Data Loader and add records directly, or import from CSV/Excel/any delimited file.
  3. Step 3: Play the saved file by running Oracle Application Forms in Playback Mode.

This method is accurate, handles all errors, and is nearly 10x faster than macro loading. Learn more

HTML Forms Data Loader (HDL) is a separate tool bundled with Forms Data Loader, built to load data from CSV / delimited files / databases into an HTML form. Since HTML forms typically don't expose Alt/Hot Keys, macro loading and Forms Record & Playback aren't possible there — HDL is the answer.
