OIC - Understand of FBDI properties file | How to create a .properties file | How to get properties values from ERP

Why we need Properties file?

In Oracle Cloud ERP, In order to import data in bulk using FBDI based integration, importBulkData operation of ERPIntegration Service is used . The entire load process includes following steps:

1. Upload files to UCM
2. Submit Load Interface file for import
3. Submit respective import jobs

Now to submit import job along with parameters, a properties/manifest file is created and embedded within the FBDI zip(Dynamic way) or can be uploaded in UCM and reused(Static way).

Structure of .properties file:

<Import Job Package Name>,<Import Job Name>,<ZIP file prefix>,<Param1>,...<ParamN>

Notes:

1. Properites file must have .properties extension.
2. All the fields in the .properties file should be comma separated
3. Suppose you have zip file like ImportJournal_05122022.zip, then the zip file prefix will be as "ImportJournal".
