The DataLoad program has been GREAT to work with and has saved up many hours loading data into Oracle.

A user describes using DataLoad Professional to create 9500 assets in 4 hours:

DataLoad Professional was used for the retirement of existing assets that were created erroneously as one unit but with multiple locations. These assets then had to be re-created having one unit at each of the locations that existed previously. In total there were about fifteen hundred assets to retire from which nine and a half thousand new assets were created.

The asset creation process took only four hours with the Oracle Forms hanging on only one occasion [an Oracle issue, not DataLoad]. This was after four and a half thousand records had been loaded. The other five thousand records were loaded without a hitch.

I used DataLoad Professional to convert approximately 2,000 employees. I loaded PEOPLE/ADDRESS/TAXES/PAY PROPOSAL/PERSONAL PAYMENT METHOD/BEE BATCHES etc. I had never used DataLoad before and was able to develop over 75 scripts to accomplish our conversion to Production. I have continued to use DataLoad to 'fix' things as they come up. I have found DataLoad to be very functional and user friendly. I am starting Stage II of our implementation, Financials, AP, Inventory, Self Service. DataLoad will again play a large part.

I also appreciated the hot line support. You were very prompt to respond to e-mails and help me resolve problems.

I have now tried forms playback [DataLoad Professional]. It works fine! Loaded 10000 Value Set values and 1000 Users without any problem.

Posted on a Metalink forum:

I suggest that you have a look at DataLoad which provides automated cut and paste. It can be a little temperamental and needs watching, but it works. They also have a professional version which is relatively cheap which uses forms playback, much faster and more reliable.

Dataload [Professional] turned out to be brilliant at loading on all the take-on stuff.

Thank you for all your help. The program has been a huge help to our organization and saved us hours of data loading. We will be sure to keep you in mind for other organization referrals.

I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful product. I have been using Dataload for MFG/PRO data loading for about 6 months now and it is a tremendous time saver. I am really enjoying the ease of loading new data into our system.

Thank you very much!!
It worked fine!
I'm very satisfied with the performance:
Now a load takes 1/10 of dataloader copy paste version, with 100% accuracy on 1077 records.

Thanks again for your help. DL[Professional] has saved our project a lot of time & money, I have recommended it to everyone.

Your quick response has been fantastic. I have downloaded v4.3 and have tested my requirement as you have suggested. It works brilliantly. Thank you so much, as we go-live in another week, so this helps tremendously.

I should say that we have been very impressed with the record and playback feature, even though consultants that we have were very experienced with the copy and paste and were very dubious about the record and playback version. So far everyone who has seen it has been very impressed. 'Unfortunately' this means that I am now creating DataLoads for everyone, but it is sure helping the project along with what would otherwise be manual tasks.

Thank you again for the fabulous support

Just to let you know the new version [V4.3] worked fine, 12 minutes in Professional compared to 80 in Classic.

Superb.

UK Government Dept,

Just thought you'd like some good feedback. Dataload Professional - superb software - it's reduced the Dataload time by nearly 90% on my test file.

We have about 10 files to load during the go-live weekend, so this will make life much easier and reduce the go-live set up time significantly.

I will recommend it to other customers in the future - it's definitely worth upgrading from Classic to Professional.

Keep up the great work, your "DataLoad" is a terrific tool.

GE, November 2002.

What can I say... it's beautiful...! It took me less than 5 mins to load 350 accounts in GL.... Perfect.! Thank you very much... I'm going to give it some more tests and after this beta version becomes official release I buy it immediately. [Having tested a Forms Playback load in a beta version of DataLoad V4.2.3]

You cannot help the Oracle Apps. implementations better than this.  Great job.

What a great tool you "guys" have created. Congratulations.

DataLoad is a great program.  Definitely a time-saver and a great improvement over the Excel macro.

Thanks a lot for this great tool. We are using DataLoad in Fixed Assets whenever we have to do a massive retirements action. Again thanks a lot for this cool tool.

Everyone who stops by my office does a double-take when they see a DataLoad job running. I tell them it's my player piano. Thanks again for the wonderful tool.

Your DataLoad tool and supporting web site keep getting better and better. Excellent work!

March 2001

I'm very thankful for this tool. Very cool utility.

February 2001

DataLoad is an absolute godsend!......Well done on the new version also - a vast and welcome improvement on the original excel macro.
Excellent tool for combating GUI's lack of "Cut & paste"

Kvaerner E&C UK Ltd, January 2001

I have found DataLoad to be a very useful product. My main problems have centred around getting the first item of data to upload and also getting buttons and tick boxes to work correctly. Overall the benefits have far outweighed the problems.

Xerox, November 2000

I find DataLoad a great timesaver 

November 2000

We recently used DataLoad and it is WONDERFUL!!! Thanks for posting this out on the net. We almost gave up because we didn't understand what we needed to do to get it working.

AGP Processing (Inc), November 2000

I have used this a lot with 11.0, and it has been a great time saver.

Oracle, September 2000

This could be a real live saver!!

September 2000

As an independent Oracle Applications consultant, I'm currently engaged on an 11i upgrade project at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab. I've introduced DataLoad as a tool for exercising configuration management control over the setups for upgrade test instances.

We're keeping the setup data files for new 11i functionality in a centralized CM location and issuing new revisions as we learn more about life on the "bleeding edge".

I learned about DataLoad while working in Oracle Consulting, but using DataLoad as a tool for applying Configuration Management techniques to apps setup data is something I came up with specifically for JPL.

Great tool! Keep up the good work!

NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, September 2000

I've tried the new commands.dat file in a simple R11i test and it works fine.
Keep up the good work!

Oracle, August 2000

It's a great tool and I have used it at several clients in the past.

KPMG, August 2000

I thought you might enjoy some feedback. The company I work for, Imation Corp., is currently upgrading to Oracle 11i from 10.7 NCA. Through our initial testing, I have successfully used the DataLoad program in several 11i forms. Thanks for the program it has been very useful.

Imation Corp.,August 2000

I am real impressed with your product. The simplicity of it is impressive.

Insight Inc, August 2000

Thanks for all the past efforts - DataLoad is a great tool.

Broadcom Corporation,

I have been using the DataLoad tool for the past 2+ years with terrific success.  I have used the tool in Rel 10.7 SC, R11.03, and most recently in R11i.

Oracle,  August 2000

It takes some getting used to, but overall it's a nice little tool.

Grant Thornton, July 2000

Just wanted to send you a quick thank you for version 4.1 of DataLoad. I've been busy with other projects for the last couple of months and finally got a chance to try out the latest version of DataLoad.

You have made lots of improvements from the previous version. I especially like the Enter and Execute Query commands, as well as the whole Edit Commands option. I see lots of enhancements that I really like. Thank you so much for providing such a useful tool. It has saved us hundreds of hours of work in the past and will only continue to do so in the future.
