Forms Loading

Loaded data is supported by the application's vendor.
Load data into any application
Control any application
Very fast loads in Oracle Applications

Why Load Data Through an Application's Forms?

If you want to load data or setup information into a system you have usually got two options. Either enter the data through the forms or directly into the database which is 'behind' the forms. This means you either employ someone to enter data into the forms or write an interface to load data into the database. Entering data into a form is straightforward and you are using the method the applications' developers intended for entering data into the database - the forms. However, manually loading large amounts of data through forms can be time consuming and error prone. For this reason data is often loaded straight into the database, but this can involve a large amount of technical work to build a load into the database's tables.

DataLoad provides a solution to this problem. It loads the data into the forms for you. The data is loaded into the database using the method intended by the applications' developers - the forms - yet the data is loaded much faster and more reliably than can be done manually. Being a non-technical product anyone can build a load into any form(s) in any application¹. Loads can also be built and tested much faster than is possible with conventional database interfaces. Therefore, loads built with DataLoad cost a fraction of conventional database interfaces, are ready to use in much less time than is possible with technical solutions and can be built and run by anyone, not just developers.

DataLoad provides two ways of loading data into applications.

Macro Loads - Load data into any application.

Forms Playback - A very faster way of loading data that is exclusive to Oracle Applications.

1 - DataLoad can be used to load data into any application that is accessible from Windows. It has been used to load data into major ERP & CRM systems such as Oracle Applications, SAP and J D Edwards, and other applications built using Oracle Forms, Power Builder and Visual Basic. We haven't found an application that DataLoad can't load data into yet!
