Data Loaders: Oracle has provided various data loaders to load data in to Fusion. of which the following are useful for HCM implementation projects:
1. FBL (File Based Loader) – provided to load high volumes of data such as historical data/transactional data etc…
2. HCM Spreadsheet Loader – provided to load lesser volumes of data such as creating a Legal Entity, Location etc…
NOTE: FBLDi (FBL Desktop Integrator) is a tool developed by Oracle COE which automated the tasks involved in data loading such as exporting a .dat file to UCM and invoking data loader service.
It is not a Oracle product for which you get support, and it is just for learning purposes. do not think of integrating FBLDi in between your source and Fusion systems.
