EBS Object Types - XML Definition Files (XDF)
XDF is used to store high-dimensional data and information related to it in compact XML format. The purpose is to have an interchangeable and high-quality format that can be used as a main archive format for this kind of data.
XDF is used for deploying Editioned Database Objects. Using FlexDeploy, you can extract the table definition from your development database and then deploy it to target environments. Due to a database requirement, you must first insert at least one row into the table before extraction (build) will work.
Object Type Identification
Files with extension .xdf are considered regardless of location.

---|---|---|---|---|
Source |
| Object Source Location Type | SCM (**populating from SCM) EBS (**manual creation) | SCM, EBS |
Name | NAME | Name of the Object | Name of the File without path or extension. | Â |
Target Location |
| Path to where the file should be deployed to. | $<PROD_TOP>/patch/115/xdf/ | Â |
Primary Object Schema Property |
| FlexDeploy property to use as the user to connect to the database with. | If the xdf file contains "Primary Object Schema Name :" then the value becomes
| Â |
Primary Object Password Property |
| FlexDeploy property to use as the password for the DB User Property. | If the xdf file contains "Primary Object Schema Name :" then the value becomes
| Â |
JDBC Protocol |
| Driver type for the database. | thin | thin | oci8 |
Object Type |
| XDF Object Type | all | all | table | qtable | mview | mviewlog | sequence | type | trigger | view | policy |
XSL Directory |
| Path to where the xsl folder is located. | $FND_TOP/patch/115/xdf/xsl | Â |
Target File Permissions |
| Permissions to apply to the file after it is deployed | Defaults to the project property FDEBS_FILE_PERMISSIONS |  |
note1
If the FDEBS_SCHEMA${SCHEMA_NAME}_DB_USER and FDEBS_SCHEMA${SCHEMA_NAME}_DB_PASSWORD properties are used, these properties need to be added to the workflow as user defined Targets properties and then configured on the topology screen.
