The Generic Loader (FNDLOAD) is a concurrent program that can transfer Oracle Application entity data between database and te t file! The loader reads a configuration file to determine which entity to access! "n simple words FNDLOAD is used to transfer entity data from one instance#database to other! for e ample if you want to mo$e a concurrent program#menu#$aluesets de$eloped in D%&%LO'(%NT instance to ')OD*+T"ON instance you can direct use this command! Steps to Move a Concurrent program from one instance(Database) to other

Define your concurrent program and save it in first instance(for how to register a concurrent program click here) Connect to your UN ! bo" on first instance and run the following command to download the #ldt file $ND%&'D apps(apps & ) D&*N%&'D +$ND,-&.(patch(//0(import(afcpprog#lct file,name#ldt .1&21'M '..% C'- &N,S3&1-,N'M456Concurrent program application short name6 C&NCU114N-,.1&21'M,N'M456concurrent program short name6 Move the downloaded #ldf file to new instance(Use $-.)
