Hi,

Thank you for good posting.
I am not familiar with all details of FNDLOAD executable.
Just wonder if it have possibility to load data using PL/SQL API calls or it
loading data directly to the tables only.
The reason for this curiosity is as follows:
- In normal circumstances there is no triggers on Apps tables
- If FNDLOAD loads data into to tables directly there is no chance to RAISE
any Events as events appears only if API is called
- If FNDLOAD can load data using API calls then there is possibility that it
raises events and as result of it subscriptions might be executed.

In Maintenance mode BES is off and no Events are processed.
