Configuration management and version control are important aspects in maintaining Oracle EBS environment.  In typical situation, developers or technical users finish the development and configuration changes in test instance, then they extract these changes to configuration files, and finally pass these files to DBA and deploy the changes to production.

Oracle provide configuration tools FNDLOAD and other executables to export and import configuration files.  The problem we developers are facing is that each tools have different syntax and parameters.  Some tools are needed to be run inside the EBS environment, and therefore create additional steps to prepare the configuration files.

The objective of FNDLOADER is to simplify and unify these configuration tools in a standalone program which can be run outside of the EBS environment.  Thus developers and technical users can create these configuration files just from their desktop effectively; in addition these files can be deployed to different environments easily without hopping around servers.
