Before Uploading Data Fix Files

File Format and Object Type Considerations

All Data fix files that you upload must use the Oracle standard format and consists of only SQL, PLSQL, text, and PLS file extensions.

Attributes which are part of the Data fix file are as shown in the following list:

• File Header: Specifies the file header for SQL, PLSQL, text, and PLS files.

• Description: Provides a free-text description of the Data fix file. Also useful in identifying different versions of the same Data fix file.

• Version: Specifies the file version, in numeric form, as identified in the header. For example, 123.1.3.

• NLS Language: The supported NLS language is USA by default and no other languages are supported.

Additionally, if the Allow Auto Header check box is not selected in your Packager customer preferences, file headers are not inserted into Data fix files. Before upload, you must insert headers into all Data fix files that require them, ensuring that headers use the correct format, as described in CEMLI and Data Fix File Header Format.

If you have not created your Data Fix files, configure this setting as explained in Setting Packager Customer Preferences. Otherwise, add headers manually, using the format described in CEMLI and Data Fix File Header Format.
