Why should I buy DataLoad Professional?
A. DataLoad Professional adds significant functionality to DataLoad. The main benefits are the Browser Control, Scripting and Forms Playback loads and additional functionality such as data validation. Browser Control provides fast and reliable loads for loading in to browser based forms, e.g. Oracle E-Business Suite Self Service. The Scripting functionality is used for loading directly in to databases and this also provides significant functionality for adding further custom functionality to DataLoad. The Forms Playback loads work with the core/professional Oracle E-Business Suite forms and are significantly faster than anything that can be achieved with a Macro. For instance, a Supplier load in Oracle Payables (AP) 11i takes around 20 seconds per record for Macro loads and 1 second with Forms Playback. The Forms Playback loads are also more reliable and provide better error handling that is possible with Macros. Finally, Professional customers receive product support.
