Overview

The JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_TL table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) CRM Foundation (JTF) module. It functions as the translation table (denoted by the "_TL" suffix) for the base table JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_B. Its primary role is to store all user-facing, language-specific information related to display sections. These sections are reusable UI components that define the layout and grouping of fields within forms and pages across the CRM applications. By separating translatable text into this table, Oracle EBS supports a true multi-language environment, allowing a single section definition to be presented in multiple languages based on the user's session language setting.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to manage multilingual content through a composite primary key. The most critical columns are the primary key components: SECTION_ID and LANGUAGE. The SECTION_ID is a foreign key that links each row to its corresponding master record in JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_B. The LANGUAGE column holds the ISO code for the translation (e.g., 'US' for American English). The core translatable data is stored in columns such as SECTION_NAME and DESCRIPTION, which hold the display label and explanatory text for the section in the specified language. Standard Translation Table columns like SOURCE_LANG, CREATED_BY, and LAST_UPDATE_DATE are also present to manage data origin and audit trails.

Common Use Cases and Queries

A primary use case is the dynamic rendering of CRM user interfaces, where the application retrieves the appropriate section name based on the user's session language. This is also critical for reporting and data extraction in a global deployment, ensuring reports display labels in the correct language. Administrators and developers query this table to audit translation coverage or troubleshoot missing UI text. A common query pattern joins the translation table to its base table to retrieve a complete view of a section.

SELECT b.section_id,
       tl.language,
       tl.section_name,
       tl.description
FROM   jtf_dsp_sections_b b,
       jtf_dsp_sections_tl tl
WHERE  b.section_id = tl.section_id
AND    tl.language = USERENV('LANG');

Related Objects

  • JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_B: This is the base table referenced by the primary foreign key relationship. The join is made on the column JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_TL.SECTION_ID to JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_B. The "_B" table stores the non-translatable, structural attributes of a section, while the "_TL" table stores its multilingual labels.
  • JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_VL: A common view built upon the join between JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_B and JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_TL. This view typically contains a language-specific row for each section and is the standard object used for queries within the application, as it automatically respects the session language context.
