EBS Object Types - Data Fixes

XML files containing one or more data fix sql statements, sql statements to back up data, and validation statements used to determine whether the data fix should be committed or rolled back.

Object Type Identification

  • If a file with .xml extension is in the folder specified by the Data Fix Root Source Directory project property, then it is considered a data fix file

File Extensions 

NameDescription
.xmlExtensible Markup Language file format used to create common information formats and share both the format and the data using standard ASCII text.

Data Fix Source Examples

The first example is a simple data fix that updates one row of a table, then verifies only the expected row is updated.

Product Price Fix
