FNDLOAD for Multilingual/Territory

FNDLOAD usually downloads LDT file based on the application specific default language (most of the cases default language would be ‘US’). Some time we end up in situation to download LDT files for Lookups and Messages which are based on other languages like French, Japanese, etc.,. In such situations we need to set language information before downloading the LDT file.

Below is example of setting language for ‘French’

export NLS_LANG="French_France.WE8ISO8859P1"

FNDLOAD apps/ O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afmdmsg.lct .ldt FND_NEW_MESSAGES APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="" MESSAGE_NAME=""
