Open FND File

FND file extensions, though not commonly known, play a significant role in various digital processes. An FND file extension represents search results in Windows and these files are linked with the "Saved Search" function in Windows Operating System. However, the FND file extension is also used by the Oracle Applications suite. In this article, we will discuss both uses of the FND file extension and how to open and use these files.

Using FND Files with Windows OS

The FND file extension is associated with the Saved Search function in Windows Explorer. When you perform a search in Windows, you have the option to save the search results for future reference. This saved search is stored as an FND file. The file remembers not just what you searched for, but also the specific parameters of your search, such as the directories you searched in and any special settings you applied to the search. To open an FND file in Windows, just double-click on the saved search file, and it'll automatically open in Windows Explorer with your search results listed.

Using FND Files with Oracle

Oracle Applications is another environment in which FND files are used. These are Oracle AOL/FND Top files. If you're working with Oracle Applications, presumably as a database administrator or developer, then you might come across these .FND files. These files hold data pertaining to the application object library (AOL), such as information about users, responsibilities, and menus. FND files for Oracle need to be opened using the Oracle software suite, specifically Oracle E-Business Suite (read more).

FND File Important Information

To reiterate, FND file formats may indeed represent two completely different types of files, one for Windows Operating System and the other for Oracle Applications. Be aware that not all software can open all types of file extensions. In the case of the Windows .FND extension, usually, the built-in Windows Explorer should be able to open and run the file without any problem. On the other hand, FND files that belong to Oracle Applications require specific Oracle software to be correctly interpreted and displayed, like Oracle E-Business Suite. In case of any issues with opening a .FND file, we recommend to revisit the settings or reach out to technical support (Windows Support, Oracle Support).

Typical FND application file locations:

%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe
