DataLoad Professional is an essential upgrade for users who need to quickly and reliably load data into Oracle E-Business Suite. DataLoad Professional includes many features not available in DataLoad Classic that help users deliver large and complex loads. In particular, Browser Control, Scripting and Forms Playback provide significantly improved performance and reliability over DataLoad Classic. One year of unlimited maintenance and support is also included with DataLoad Professional.
DataLoad will load data into any application and contains extra functionality for loading data and setup into Oracle E-Business Suite. A number of loading technologies are provided so that the most appropriate approach can be chosen for the target application. DataLoad will load data via an application's forms, which may be browser based Self Service forms or core/professional forms, or data can be loaded directly in to a database.
DataLoad's Macro, Browser Control and Forms Playback technologies are used to load data through the forms. This means the data is indistinguishable from that entered by users. To load data using this approach you setup DataLoad to load into the forms and the forms load the data into your system. This non-technical approach means the load can be built and run by non-technical users and by not having to write conventional interfaces into the database a huge amount of time and money can be saved.
Loading data via forms is very useful because an automated load can be built wherever a form exists in an application. However, sometimes data must be loaded directly in to a database, for example where very high volumes of data are being loaded. DataLoad Scripting can be used to load data in to all popular databases and additional libraries are provided to assist with loading in to Oracle databases.
