FNDLOAD using Shell Script

Whenever we use FNDLOAD at times it becomes difficult to remember the .lct name.
Here I have tried to create a shell script which can be used to DOWNLOAD or UPLOAD concurrent program definitions using FNDLOAD. The shell script prompts for necessary parameter needed to perform specific action.

Shell Script Code
-----------------
Download concurrent program definition using FNDLOAD. Create a shell script FNDCPDOWN using following code.

 echo "Enter APPS Password: "
 stty -echo             #Turns echo off
 read appspwd
 stty echo              #Turns echo on
 
 echo "Enter .ldt Name: "
 read ldtname
 
 echo "Enter Application Short Name: "
 read applname
 
 echo "Enter Concurrent Program Short Name: "
 read cpname
 
 FNDLOAD apps/$appspwd O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct $ldtname PROGRAM APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="$applname"
 CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_NAME="$cpname"
 
 echo "LDT File $ldtname created"

Upload Concurrent Program using FNDLOAD. Create a shell script FNDCPUP using following code.

 echo "Enter APPS Password"
 stty -echo                  #Turns echo off
 read appspwd
 stty echo                   #Turns echo on
 echo 'Enter .ldt file name to upload'
 read ldt_name
 
 FNDLOAD apps/$appspwd O Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct $ldt_name

Test the above created shell script.
For downloading the script will prompt for APPS password, .ldt file name, application name and Concurrent program short name.
For uploading the script will prompt for APPS password and .ldt file name.

Call Concurrent Program from responsibility Menu

The concurrent programs can be called in one of the following 2 ways
1) From standard concurrent request by attaching the concurrent program to a request group. The request group name can be found from the responsibility. Query for the request group and attach concurrent program to that request group. Now the program will be available from that responsibility.
2) The other option is to call request directly from the Menu.

To assign a concurrent program to a menu follow the steps. I have taken Import Bills and Routings and import items program as an example.
a) Create a new function of form type and name it as your concurrent program
Bills of Material:


Import Items:


b) In the parameter field enter the request group name(if all programs assigned to the request is to be available) or enter concurrent program name(if only one concurrent program should be available).
Bills of Material:


Import Items:

c) Assign this function to a responsibility menu from which you want to run this concurrent program.

Now go to that responsibility and click on the function. It will directly launch the concurrent program
