Upload Value Set Values Process

This process uploads a flat file containing value set values for flexfields. You can use the scheduled process to upload a file containing values you want to edit or add to an existing independent or dependent value set.

This process is useful for adding or updating large volumes of value set value data in an automated or recurring fashion. For example, you can upload a hundred values on a recurring basis when scheduled as a recurring process. This method could be more efficient than using the Import action in the Manage Value Sets tasks in the Setup and Maintenance work area. However, for a task of uploading a hundred values, it may be quicker to use the Import action in the relevant tasks.

Run this process from the Scheduled Processes Overview page. You can run it on a recurring basis whenever the flat file in the content repository account is updated.

You must create the flat file containing the values data, and upload the flat file to the content repository using the File Import and Export page.

Note: Here are some alternate ways of doing this task:

• Using the File Import and Export page. For more information, see Export and Import of CSV File Packages.
• Using the SOAP web services or REST APIs. For more information, see the Value Sets REST Endpoints section in the REST API for Common Features in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications guide.

Parameters

Flat File Name

Enter the name of the flat file you uploaded using the File Import and Export page.

Account

Select the user account containing the flat file in the content repository to upload.
