Exports CSV File Package(s) from an Oracle SaaS FSM server to the file system. This operation can be used from a utility workflow, which can also be augmented to sync the files to a source control management system (such as Git or Subversion). This allows the Oracle SaaS FSM project which is used for build and deployment to source from a source code repository rather than directly from a development SaaS instance.

As of 6.5.0.20, 7.0.0.11, 8.0.0.6, and 9.0.0.0, this operation will source some files as json files, and others as CSV files. Both can be uploaded successfully by the import operation, but the JSON packages will show as different files in SCM, so you may need to manually remove the old files if you use the operation both before and after upgrading between those versions. The types of files that are now downloaded as JSON instead of CSV are a subset of Value Sets and Lookups. The JSON download is much faster and smaller than the CSV one is. The resolves several issues that customers brought up where value sets and look ups were not exported properly due to file size restrictions in the export process.

Value Sets are downloaded as JSON now instead of CSV if the following criteria are met:

The TaskCode is set to FND_MANAGE_VALUE_SETS
The AttributeName is set to ValueSetCode
The AttributeValue is set to the ValueSetCode of the ValueSet that you wish to download.

Lookups are downloaded as JSON now instead of CSV if the following criteria are met:

The TaskCode is set to one of FND_MANAGE_SET_ENABLED_LOOKUPS, FND_MANAGE_COMMON_LOOKUPS, or FND_MANAGE_STANDARD_LOOKUPS
The AttributeName is set to LookupType
The AttributeValue is set to the LookupType of the Lookup that you wish to download.

Tip

Endpoint Tip

This operation uses HTTPS to communicate remotely to the Oracle SaaS FSM server, and therefore, can be executed on any endpoint (including LOCALHOST).

Referencing the above list of "tasks" one by one:

Downloads the entire Fast Formula task
- Notice only TaskCode is set
Downloads the Fast Formula task scoped by Formula Name of EXT_ASSIGNMENTS_RECORD300000189455050_300000189455050
- Notice all values are set and AttributeValue has only single value
Downloads the Fast Formula task scoped twice. Once scoped by base formula name of EXT_BENEFITS_RECORD300000189455103_300000189455103 and a second time scoped by base formula name of EXT_PERFORMANCES_RECORD300000189455100_300000189455100
- When 2 more values are set (delimited by ##), then an individual CSV File package is downloaded for each value with respective scope applied.
Downloads the Manage Business Unit task scoped by Name of AU Council Business Unit
Downloads the Manage Chart of Accounts Value Set task twice. Once filtered by value set code of FlexDeploy Value Set Accounts and a second time filtered by value set code of FlexDeploy Value Set Currencies.
Downloads Lookup ORA_PER_UNION_CODE using the JSON format.
Downloads ValueSet AHC_CUST_CATEGORY using the JSON format.

The JSON objects within the "tasks" array can contain these 5 keys.
