LOADER DATA (LDT) FILES and .

SH Files

LDT is a file extension for a data file used with Oracle applications.
LDT stands for Loader DaTa files.
LDT files contain entity definitions, parent-child relationships, input parameters and data.
LDT files can be exported from the Oracle database using the FNDLOAD function.
We can open and edit LDT files, but it is not a recommended way.
We can create LDT for all the AOL objects. For e.g. Concurrent programs, Value sets,
Lookups, request groups, responsibilities, request sets, etc.
The below diagram gives a brief description on downloading and uploading the
FNDLOAD :
 This table gives the FNDLOAD commands for creating the LDTs and attached are the
.SH files for different AOL objects:

S. No AOL Command for creating LDT Attachmen
