Exports File Package(s) and 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.

Target Properties

Inputs

Artifacts

This operation does not produce any artifacts.

Endpoint Selection

This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the Target.

Endpoint Execution

This operation will execute on any one of the selected endpoints and will be random in the determination of which one.

Special Considerations

Oracle SaaS FSM Account*

Before using this plugin operation, navigate to Topology → Integrations → Cloud, then create an account with provider OracleFSM for each one of your SaaS environments. This account will store the URL and credentials to make HTTPS requests to your SaaS environment. The account will be reusable by all Oracle SaaS FSM Plugin operations. All fields shown are required.

JSON File Path

csvDownloadAdvanced is expecting a file containing a json object with an array of data, which we call tasks. Recommendation is to name this file something along the lines of "FSMSetupTasks-Development" and give it an extension of .json. The "Development" postfix on the file name is to denote that these tasks will get exported from your Development Oracle SaaS FSM environment. Typically user will maintain one json file containing the below content because syncing to SCM process happens against one SaaS environment (Development in this case).

ExportCriteria and FilterCriteria are supported in the json file. This will allow for multiple export or filter criteria to be configured.

{
  "tasks": 
  [
	{
      "TaskCode" : "XLE_MANAGE_LEGAL_ENTITY",
	  "ExportCriteria": [
        {
          "BusinessObjectCode" : "XLE_ENTITY_PROFILE",
          "AttributeName" : "LegalEntityIdentifier",
          "AttributeValue" : "LE_AU_01",
        }
      ]
    },
	{
      "TaskCode" : "PAY_MANAGE_FAST_FORMULA",
      "FilterCriteria": [
	  	{
          "BusinessObjectCode" : "FF_FORMULA",
          "Operator" : "Equals",
          "AttributeName" : "FormulaName",
          "AttributeValue" : "MANAGER RANGE OF SCHEDULED HOURS",
        }
	  ]
    },
    {
      "TaskCode" : "FND_MANAGE_COMMON_LOOKUPS",
	  "ExportCriteria": [
        {
          "AttributeName" : "LookupType",
          "AttributeValue" : "ORA_PER_UNION_CODE",
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "TaskCode" : "FND_MANAGE_VALUE_SETS",
	  "ExportCriteria": [
        {
          "AttributeName" : "ValueSetCode",
          "AttributeValue" : "AHC_CUST_CATEGORY",
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

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

1. Downloads the Manage Legal Entity task where XLE_ENTITY_PROFILE column LegalEntityIdentifer is equal to LE_AU_01.

   • File path where this file to be downloaded is /SetupTasks/XLE_MANAGE_LEGAL_ENTITY/LE_AU_01.zip

2. Downloads the Fast Formulas task where FF_FORMULA column FormulaName is equal to MANAGER RANGE OF SCHEDULED HOURS.

   • File path where this file to be downloaded is /SetupTasks/PAY_MANAGE_FAST_FORMULA/MANAGER_RANGE_OF_SCHEDULED_HOURS.zip

3. Downloads the LookupType ORA_PER_UNION_CODE in JSON format.

4. Downloads the ValueSet AHC_CUST_CATEGORY is JSON format.

The JSON objects within the "tasks" array can contain these 7 keys. 

Another JSON format shown below will only allow for one export criteria to be configured. We suggest using the keys ExportCriteria and FilterCriteria instead. However, keep in mind using this format will add an additional part in the path. More on this later. If both formats exists, then the format explained above will take precedence.

  "tasks" :

}

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

1. Downloads the entire Fast Formula task

   • Notice only TaskCode is set

2. 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

3. 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.

4. Downloads the Manage Business Unit task scoped by Name of AU Council Business Unit

5. 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.

6. Downloads Lookup ORA_PER_UNION_CODE using the JSON format.

7. Downloads ValueSet AHC_CUST_CATEGORY using the JSON format.

Download Folder Structure

csvDownloadAdvanced maintains the following folder structure convention when saving the CSV File packages to the file system:
