Hello,
I'm used to using DataLoad macros, and have recently seen the forms loader version.
Can anyone confirm whether or not it works with OA Framework jdeveloper screens?
I'm on an HRMS project, and much of the configuration now has to be done through OAF screens, rather than Forms.
Many thanks

Isobel,

I don't think so. Basically, Professional works by telling Oracle Forms to record or play back a file on the server, so if Oracle Forms is not involved, I don't think that you are going to get very far.

However, the Classic version of DataLoad will allow you to record and play back a maximum of 5 (five) records at a time, which is just enough to test if it will do what you want, but is not enough to use in production. So why don't you give it a try (using an Oracle Forms example to begin with, to see how it works) and see how you get on? Read the "setup" section of the User Guide before you start: http://www.dataload.net/help/recplay/setup.htm

Isobel,

David is correct - Forms Playback only works with Oracle Forms (ie "core" or "professional" forms in E-Bus) and not the HTML/OA Framework forms.
