Overview

The CSS_DEF_TEMPL_DETAILS_TL table is a translatable (TL) table within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 releases. It is designed to store language-specific, user-facing text for template detail records within the CSS (Customer Support) module. As a translatable table, its primary function is to support the multi-language capabilities of the application by holding translated content for a base table, typically named CSS_DEF_TEMPL_DETAILS_B. The table is marked as belonging to the "CSS - Support (Obsolete)" product, indicating its associated functionality is considered legacy and may be superseded in current or future implementations. Notably, the provided metadata states it is "Not implemented in this database," which may reflect a specific instance or a general deprecation status.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is centered on enabling multilingual support for template detail descriptions or labels. Its composite primary key, CSS_DEF_TEMPL_DETAILS_TL_PK, consists of two columns. The TEMPLATE_DETAIL_ID column is a foreign key that uniquely links each row back to its corresponding record in the base table. The LANGUAGE column stores the language code (e.g., 'US' for American English) for the translated text. While the specific content column names are not detailed in the excerpt, translatable tables in Oracle EBS conventionally include columns such as DESCRIPTION, TEMPLATE_DETAIL_NAME, or SOURCE_LANG. These columns hold the actual translated strings and metadata about the translation source.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case for this table is retrieving template detail information in a user's session language for display within forms, reports, and UIs of the Support module. Common queries involve joining this table with its base table and filtering by the session's language setting. A typical pattern for reporting or data extraction would be:

• SELECT tl.template_detail_id, tl.description FROM css_def_templ_details_tl tl WHERE tl.language = USERENV('LANG');

For administrative purposes, such as auditing translations or managing content, queries might join the TL and base tables using the TEMPLATE_DETAIL_ID to compare translations across languages or verify the existence of translations for all active records.

Related Objects

This table has direct dependencies within the EBS data model. Its most critical relationship is with the base table CSS_DEF_TEMPL_DETAILS_B, from which it inherits its key structure via the TEMPLATE_DETAIL_ID foreign key. It may also be referenced by views that present a language-aware perspective of template data, potentially with names ending in _VL (View, Language). Given its obsolete status, it is likely that newer tables or APIs within the Service or CRM product families have superseded its functionality. Application programming interfaces (APIs) for the CSS module, if still active for this feature, would perform DML operations on this table to maintain translated content.
