    This only gets you some of the integrator. The Uploader step is missing.
    You also need to load the Components and the Layout definitions
    separately.
    Oracle is moving towards using lcts at $BNE_TOP/patch/115/import/*
    bneintegrators.lct doesnt function in my instance. See patch:
    Patch 10385955: FNDLOAD USING BNEINTEGRATOR.LCT DOES NOT
    INCLUDE BNE_INTEGRATORS_B.SOURCE
