How to use XDOLoader to Manage, Download and Upload Files?

 

Solution

Using XDOLoader to Manage Files

The XDOLoader utility is a Java-based command line program to load template (RTF, PDF, and XSL-FO), XML, and XSD files to the XML Publisher database tables. Use this utility to download files from one instance and load to another.

 

The XDOLoader has two modes:

• File download only mode
  Use this mode to download files from the XDO_LOBS table. Specify the target LOB_CODE, APPS_SHORT_NAME, and LOB_TYPE, LANGUAGE, and TERRITORY to download all files that match the criteria.
• File download and LDT/DRVX generation mode
  Use this mode to download files from the XDO_LOBS tables and create and LDT file for the downloaded file.
  Note: A DRVX file is also created. This file is used by Oracle Development to
  load templates during patch application. It is not required for use at your site
  and can be ignored.
  Specify the APPS_SHORT_NAME to download all files (including template files, data definition files and sample xml files) that have the same application short name. You can also specify the DS_CODE to select files that are related to the specific data source definition.

 

Downloading Files

To download the files, first set up your environment for your session by setting the

APPL_TOP and CLASSPATH. Execute the XDOLoader utility as follows:

% java oracle.apps.xdo.oa.util.XDOLoader DOWNLOAD \

-DB_USERNAME <db_username> \

-DB_PASSWORD <db_password> \

-JDBC_CONNECTION <jdbc_con_string> \

-LOB_TYPE <lob_type> \

-APPS_SHORT_NAME <application_short_name> \

-LOB_CODE <lob_code> \

-LANGUAGE <language> \

-TERRITORY <territory> \

-LOG_FILE <log file>

The parameters are described in the following table:

 

Parameter Name	Description
DOWNLOAD	The first parameter: DOWNLOAD will be implemented in the feature.	Mandatory
DB_USERNAME	Database user name (example: apps).	Mandatory
DB_PASSWORD	Database user password (example: manager).	Mandatory
JDBC_CONNECTION	JDBC database connection string (example: ap000sun:1521:db222)	Mandatory
LOB_TYPE	XDO LOB type. Valid values are: TEMPLATE XML_SCHEMA XML_SAMPLE	Mandatory
APPS_SHORT_NAME	Application short name (example: AR).	Mandatory
LOB_CODE	XDO LOB code. Enter either the Template Code or the Data Definition Code (see below).	Optional
LCT_FILE	This is the control file for XML Publisher metadata (see below).	Optional
LANGUAGE	ISO two-letter language code (example: en)	Mandatory for template files only
TERRITORY	ISO two-letter territory code (example: US)	Mandatory for template files only
LOG_FILE	Enter a file name for the uutput log file (default: xdotmpl.log).	Optional
DEBUG	Turns debug on or off. Valid values are: true / false (default)	Optional

 

 

The parameters LOB_CODE and LCT_FILE are optional, but one must be defined as follows:

• LOB_CODE - use this parameter to download an individual template.
• LCT_FILE - if you do not define an LOB_CODE then this parameter is required. If you want to download multiple templates, then you must provide the LCT file. The loaded needs this file to retrieve the templates. The LCT file can be found under $XDO_TOP/patch/115/import/xdotmpl.lct. When you use this option you will not only get the templates, but the ldt file for the templates will be generated for you as well.
  Note: A DRVX file is also created. This file is used by Oracle Development to
  load templates during patch application. It is not required for use at your site
  and can be ignored.

Example

Sample usage is as follows:

java oracle.apps.xdo.oa.util.XDOLoader \

DOWNLOAD \

This mode will create the template or data files, one LDT file, one DRVX file and one

log file.

Sample usage is as follows:

Sample usage as follows:

% java oracle.apps.xdo.oa.util.XDOLoader \

DOWNLOAD \

-DB_USERNAME apps \

-DB_PASSWORD apps \

-JDBC_CONNECTION ap000sun:1521:apps115 \

In this mode the LDT file can be used with the FNDLOAD utility to upload the metadata

for the downloaded templates.

Example

Sample usage is as follows:

% java oracle.apps.xdo.oa.util.XDOLoader \

UPLOAD \

-DB_USERNAME apps \

-DB_PASSWORD apps \

-JDBC_CONNECTION ap000sun:1521:apps115 \

-LOB_TYPE TEMPLATE \

-APPS_SHORT_NAME XDO \

-LOB_CODE XDOTMPL1 \

-NLS_LANG JAPANESE_JAPAN.JA16EUC

The XDOLoader program can be run either before or after the FNDLOAD command. The

files will be loaded with the appropriate LOB_CODE, which will join to the metadata

loaded using the TEMPLATE_CODE or DATA_SOURCE_CODE mapping to the

LOB_CODE.

 

 

this can also be found at Appendix B starting on page 401 of

(<>)

 

but there are two missing pieces.

 

1. Data Templates - this is pretty straightforward. There is a new lob type called 'DATA_TEMPLATE'

so its treated just like any other XMLP file object.

 

2. XLIFF Files - these are the translation files, again an xml format but they have their own

loader called, surprisingly enough 'XLIFFLoader'. It's very similar to the XDOLoader, here's how

to use it

 

UPLOAD usage :

% java oracle.apps.xdo.oa.util.XLIFFLoader UPLOAD

-DB_USERNAME <db_username>

-DB_PASSWORD <db_password>

-JDBC_CONNECTION <jdbc_con_string>

-APPS_SHORT_NAME <application_short_name>

-TEMPLATE_CODE <template_code>

-OWNER <owner>

-CUSTOM_MODE [FORCE|NOFORCE]

-FILE_NAME <file_name>

 

 

 

Parameter Name	Description
UPLOAD	The first parameter	Mandatory
DB_USERNAME	Database user name (ex: apps)	Mandatory
DB_PASSWORD	Database user password (ex: manager)	Mandatory
JDBC_CONNETION	JDBC database connection string (e.g.: ap000sun:1521:dev115)	Mandatory
APPS_SHORT_NAME	3 letter Application short name (ex: XDO)	Mandatory
TEMPLATE_CODE	XDO Template code, if not given, it should be indicated in the header section of the xliff.	Optional
OWNER	Owner of the template. Default is "ORACLE"	Optional
CUSTOM_MODE :	[FORCE|NOFORCE] Whether force update, default is NOFORCE	Optional
FILE_NAME	Name of the file to be uploaded	Mandatory

 

 

 

Heres a sample usage:

 

% java oracle.apps.xdo.oa.util.XLIFFLoader

UPLOAD

-DB_USERNAME apps

-DB_PASSWORD apps

-JDBC_CONNECTION ap000sun:1521:apps115

Heres a sample usage:

 

% java oracle.apps.xdo.oa.util.XLIFFLoader

DOWNLOAD

-DB_USERNAME apps

-DB_PASSWORD apps

-JDBC_CONNECTION ap000sun:1521:apps115

So now you should have everything you need to move those templates, data templates, translations,

etc from test to production. We will of course get all of the above into the doc as soon as we can.
