Dataloader

Dataloader stands out as a widely used tool for loading data into Oracle Apps or E-Business Suite 11i/R12 via front-end forms. It presents a straightforward and cost-effective solution for importing test or legacy data into Oracle Applications. While its primary focus is on Oracle, this tool exhibits compatibility with any Windows-based application, making it accessible to users without specific technical expertise. Notably, it operates without the need for a direct database connection, loading data directly into front-end forms.

Key features and benefits of Forms Dataloader include:

User-Friendly Operation: No specialized technical knowledge is required, making it suitable for non-technical end users as data is loaded through front-end forms.

Time Efficiency: Users can prepare a load once and replicate it multiple times, saving significant time.

Transparency: The tool seamlessly integrates with the application, ensuring that the application behaves as if data were entered by a user.

Accuracy: All validations defined in the application forms are performed, ensuring data accuracy.

Legacy Data Loading: Facilitates loading legacy data into applications where direct loading into tables is challenging.

Compatibility: Compatible with Oracle Applications 10.7, Oracle Apps 11, Oracle Apps 11i, Oracle Apps R12, and Oracle Fusion.

Versatile Data Loading Methods: Supports data loading through Macros or Forms Record and Playback Mode, and allows the import of data from various file formats such as CSV, TAB Delimited, and other character-delimited files.

Rapid Loading: Capable of loading hundreds of rows into target applications in a very short time.

Additionally, a new tool called HTML Data Loader has been launched, specifically designed to load data from CSV or delimited files into Oracle Web Forms (Oracle Self-Service Forms). It supports the latest MS Edge, Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers.
