FNDLOAD to transfer the menus concurrent programs personalization from one instance to other

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
