Batch Oracle FNDLOAD solution for DOWNLOAD

With all the examples I've seen on Oracle FNDLOAD, I never ran across some sort of packaged solution. I built one and tested on the few objects and it worked just fine.
As an alternative Check the video tour for Migration LogiK(TM) FNDLOAD GUI

Below is the source and sequence of the actions.

Step 1. Build your list of the objects to needed to be migrated.
Follow the layout. Keep in mind that there are always 3 fields. (Put 'X' if there no application associated with the object):
# OBJECT_TYPE_IDENTIFICATOR,OBJECT_SHORT_NAME,APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME
# Below the example of the objects load list:
#
# CP - concurrent program, PO - profile option, USER - user etc...
# Enclose the object name in double quotes if its name contains spaces, commas #etc...


CP,CONC_PROG_SHORT_NAME,APP_SHORT_NAME
USER,USERNAME,FND
PO,PROFILE_OPTION_NAME,FND

Step 2. Save this file - for example as loadList on the server.

Step 3. Copy shell script from the source below and save it on the server as batchFNDLOAD_D.sh - this one for DOWNLOAD


#!/bin/ksh


# . batchFNDLOAD_D loadList appsPassword

output_dir='apps_objects_download_dir'
login=apps/$2

action='DOWNLOAD'


while read line
do

type=`echo $line | cut -f1 -d,`

type=`echo $type | tr [a-z] [A-Z]`
object=`echo $line | cut -f2 -d,`
app=`echo $line | cut -f3 -d,`


case $type in

Step 4. Execute the script : batchFNDLOAD_D loadList appsPassword.


All objects will be processed and migrated in a single run.
It is small, but improvement.
Don't forget to verify that created .ldt files correctly downloaded the designated objects.
Each file, which ends with
# -- End Entity Definitions --
didn't download the object definition. Most likely due to incorrect object name provided in the FNDLOAD command.
