DataLoad Development
DataLoad V4.2.3 provides significant enhancements
to forms playback loads and introduces load control for keystroke macro
loads.
Version 4.2.3 Changes
New Features
- Improved support for Oracle Forms' playback files*:
- Loads can now have a header section containing actions to be run only
once at the start of a load.
- Additional playback commands fully supported.
- DataLoad supports more ways of closing Oracle Applications at the end
of a file recording.
- 'Load Control' for Copy & Paste loads*:
- Ensures load cannot run too quickly.
- Delays are no longer required to control the load.
- Loads stop if an error or unexpected navigation occurs in the form.
- Find and Replace functionality added.
- DataLoad can automatically start loading data when a file is opened.
- Documentation improved and expanded.
- More keystrokes supported in Copy & Paste loads.
Bug Fixes
The following issues have been fixed in V4.2.3:
- Oracle Forms' playback files:
- Record
numbering in forms playback files was not always correct.
- Cell comments
weren't always saved.
- 'Cannot open
clipboard' error could occur during a Copy & Paste load.
- Files saved
without extensions did not have an extension automatically appended.
- If an error
occurred when opening a file DataLoad would prompt the user as if the file
was being saved.
- Pasting data into
a forms playback spreadsheet could cause a "divide by zero" error.
- Command groups
could be missing from the command group drop list in V4.2.2.
Command Definitions
The following command definitions have changed in V4.2.3:
- Closing bracket on *PB was a ) and not a }.
- Certain commands kept the Alt key depressed for longer than was required,
meaning focus remained on the menu after a menu call.
* = Fully implemented in DataLoad Professional. DataLoad Classic contains a
trial version of this functionality to enable it to be evaluated before a
purchase of DataLoad Professional.
