How to use WFLOAD command for UPLOAD & DOWNLOAD

We use the Workflow Definitions Loader to save or load process definitions from a database or flat file. We can also define as it is a utility that moves workflow data between a file and a database and it is also used to upgrade, upload and download the workflow data.
Following is the syntax and the parameter details of WFLOAD

WFLOAD <apps/pwd>@<connect_string> 0 Y {UPLOAD | UPGRADE | FORCE} <filepath>[<file_name.wft>]

Example:-

 WFLOAD apps/pwd@<connect_string> 0 Y UPLOAD POREQAPPRV.wft

Different “Upload Modes” applicable to WFLOAD
UPGRADE – Honors both protection and customization levels of data
UPLOAD  - Honors only protection level of data [No respect of Customization Level]
FORCE   - Force upload regardless of protection or customization level

Use the following command to download workflow definition

WFLOAD <apps_user_name>/<password>@db 0 Y DOWNLOAD file_name.wft <Item_Type>

Example:-

WFLOAD <apps_user_name>/<password>@db 0 Y DOWNLOAD header.wft OEOH

DOWNLOAD -  Parameter to WFLOAD to download workflow definition

As a standard practice, Oracle’s upgrade patches mostly run in UPGRADE mode, hence your customizations can protected if best practices for development are followed.

One can find the seeded workflow definition files under
$<PRODUCT_TOP>/patch/115/import/<LANG> directory.
For example, .wft files related to order management can be located in the following directory:-

 $ONT_TOP/patch/115/import/US
