Oracle HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader (HDL) is useful for loading data to HCM stage tables using an Excel Spreadsheet. Predefined spreadsheets are available for most of the objects and Users can define their own spreadsheets for any object as per requirement.
HDL also offers similar features of data loading whereas Spreadsheet Data Loaders have their own advantages:
