How Forms Loader loads data through Macro Loading method

Data Loader fills data in Forms by simulating keystrokes as though type by a user. It provides a spreadsheet interface where you can enter the data and keystrokes to send to the forms. Building Load is quite easy, you can learn building data loads by just spending few minutes or use macro recording feature which automatically prepares the load as you enter a sample record into the target form. It can be used to load data in virtually any type of application form whether it is SAP or HTML or any other application

Macro loading method is straight forward and simple method to load data. However many a times the load gets disturbed due asynchronization between the speed with which Data Loader send the keystrokes and the time taken by the target application to process the keystrokes. Most of the time it is fine tuned by inserting Time Delays and reducing the speed with which data is send to the target application.

How Forms D Loader loads data through Forms Record and Playback method.

Data Loader exploits the Oracle Forms Record and playback feature. In this method the loading is done in 3 steps. 1, Oracle Application is run in record mode and the user has to enter atleast two sample records in the desired forms. 2, After user finishes entering sample records, Oracle will generate one recorded file in the forms server.

User has to open this file in Data Loader and populate data into this file from Excel or any delimited files. 3, After this user has to place this file in the same location in Forms Server where recorded file is found and then run Oracle Application in Playback mode.

As you run the Oracle Application in playback mode Oracle will automatically load all the records which you have populated in second step. It is very fast almost 10 to 20 times faster than Macro loading.
