Exports CSV File Package(s) for single Setup Task from an Oracle SaaS FSM server to the file system. This operation can be used from an 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 export 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_COMMON_LOOKUPS, FND_MANAGE_STANDARD_LOOKUPS, or FND_MANAGE_SET_ENABLED_LOOKUPS

  • The AttributeName is set to LookupType

  • The AttributeValue is set to the LookupType of the Lookup that you wish to download.

Warning

Limitation

This operation is a simple export, meaning you can only export a single task or multiple subsets of a single task. Unlike other download operations, you cannot do export of all Setup Tasks in a single execution. To achieve similar functionality, see csvDownloadAdvance which takes an input file to download more than a single Setup Task.
