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.

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.

Optional Inputs**

Business Object Code, Attribute Name, and Attribute Value are usually all required when exporting any Setup Tasks with a scopeable business object.

In the special case of JSON exports of Value Sets or Lookups, specify the Attribute Name as ValeSetCode or LookupType respectively, and use Attribute Value to pass in the LookupType or ValueSetCode.

In the special case of Value Set tasks (I.E. Manage Chart of Accounts Value Sets, Manage Applications Core Value Sets, Manage Purchasing Value Sets, etc..). only FDFSM_INP_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE input is required. You must provide the Value Set Code for the Value Set in order to download a subset of the Value Set. See below image as an example.
