Welcome to the World of LDT & LCT Files Matrix
1) It is merely time consuming task to create same setup data on each instance
separately. Hence to migrate setup data from 1 instance to other (Eg. From DEV
to PROD), ldt & lct files are used.
2) LDT (Data Loader Files)- This files are Used to upload & download setup data on
different instances.
LCT (Data Config Files)- This files are used to create LDT Files. There are
difference lct files for different sets of data.
Eg: Request Set- afcpreqg.lct, Concurrent Program- afcpprog.lct, Value Set-
afffload.lct..etc..
3) Now lets take a simple example where you want to migrate 1 concurrent program
from Development (DEV) instance to Production (PROD).
Step 1: Login to Unix Development server and change the directory
Step 2: Run the FNDLOAD command by supplying the parameters given in <> as per
your need.
FNDLOAD <userid/password@connect_string> O Y DOWNLOAD
$FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct <file_name.ldt> PROGRAM
APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="<your_application_short_name>"
CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_NAME="<your_concurrent_name>"
Step 3: Login to Unix Production Server and copy the LDT files
Step 4: Finally Run the following command by supplying all parameters in <> to upload
concurrent program definition on production application server.
$ FNDLOAD <userid/password@connect_string> 0 Y UPLOAD
$FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct
$CUST_TOP/patch/115/import/US/<file_name>.ldt
