ORACLE WEBADI

Introduction: There are basically two ways to enter data into Oracle: by typing it into a user
interface (Java Form or Web Page) or by taking a file and programmatically interfacing the data Web !"# falls into the second category in that it takes an $%cel file and programmatically loads the data into Oracle #f you find it easier to enter data into $%cel than Oracle forms& you should look into using Web !"#

Downloading a Web ADI

The first step in downloading a template is to locate the responsibility and menu that is linked to that template. Some templates can be downloaded from the Desktop Integration menu and others must be downloaded from a specific responsibility. For security, some templates are linked to specific responsibilities. For example, we can download the G !ournals template from the Desktop Integration responsibility but we can"t download the #ro$ect Transaction Import template from the same responsibility. To download a template you will use the following components% integrator, &iewer, layout, and content. 'ased on how the menu is setup, some of these components may default for you.

Integrator
The integrator defines what data you will be uploading to (racle. )ach integrator ser&es a specific purpose and cannot be used to enter other data.

Viewer
The &iewer is the *icrosoft program you will use to enter data into the template

Layout
The layout is how the data columns are organi+ed on the template. ,ou ha&e two main sections to a template% a header and lines. The header information applies to all the lines when the data is uploaded to (racle.

Content
The content is a text file that you can import into your template. ,ou can use this feature if you ha&e an external system that outputs text file and you want to import that into the template.
