Overview

The table PER_CAGR_API_PARAMETERS_TL is a core translation table within the Oracle E-Business Suite Human Resources (PER) module. It stores the translated, language-specific descriptions for the parameters used by the Compensation and Grade Rules (CAGR) API. This table is essential for supporting the multi-language capabilities of the application, ensuring that parameter names and descriptions are displayed correctly in the user's chosen language during processes involving compensation and grade rule administration. Its role is to provide the translatable text that corresponds to the base data held in its parent table, PER_CAGR_API_PARAMETERS_B.

Key Information Stored

The table's primary purpose is to hold translated text for a specific parameter ID across multiple languages. Its structure is typical of an EBS translation table. The documented primary key consists of CAGR_API_PARAM_ID and LANGUAGE, which uniquely identifies a single translation record. While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, standard translation table design dictates the presence of key columns such as CAGR_API_PARAM_ID (the foreign key to the base table), LANGUAGE (the language code, e.g., 'US' for American English), SOURCE_LANG (the original language of the source data), and a column for the translated text itself, likely named PARAMETER_NAME or DESCRIPTION. Additional standard columns like CREATED_BY and LAST_UPDATE_DATE are also typically present for auditing.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily accessed by the application's internal multilingual architecture to retrieve locale-specific labels. Common use cases include generating user interfaces for configuring compensation rules or displaying parameter help text in reports within a global deployment. A typical query would join this table to its base table to fetch all translations for a set of parameters. For example, to retrieve Spanish translations for active parameters, a developer might use a SQL pattern such as:

  • SELECT b.parameter_code, tl.parameter_name, tl.language FROM per_cagr_api_parameters_b b, per_cagr_api_parameters_tl tl WHERE b.cagr_api_param_id = tl.cagr_api_param_id AND tl.language = 'ES' AND b.enabled_flag = 'Y';

Data in this table is typically maintained via the application's translation tools or seed data patches, not through direct DML by functional users.

Related Objects

As indicated by its name and primary key structure, PER_CAGR_API_PARAMETERS_TL has a direct foreign key relationship to its base table, PER_CAGR_API_PARAMETERS_B. The join is performed on the CAGR_API_PARAM_ID column. This is a standard "B" and "TL" table pair in Oracle EBS. The base table (B) holds the non-translatable, operational data, while the translation table (TL) holds the language-specific text. The table is also intrinsically linked to the FND_LANGUAGES table, which defines the valid LANGUAGE values. The Compensation and Grade Rules API itself, which likely includes packages or procedures with names beginning with PER_CAGR_, is the primary consumer of the data stored in this translation table.
