Overview

The table PV_GE_QSNR_ELEMENTS_TL is a core translation table within the Oracle E-Business Suite Partner Management (PV) module, specifically for versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It is designed to store multilingual text for questionnaire elements, enabling the application to present user-defined questionnaires in a user's preferred language. This table operates as the translation layer (TL) for its base data table, PV_GE_QSNR_ELEMENTS_B, which holds the non-translatable attributes. Its primary role is to support the global deployment of partner management processes by allowing the creation and administration of localized questionnaires for partners.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is centered on a composite primary key and language-specific descriptive columns. The key column, QSNR_ELEMENT_ID, is a foreign key that links each row to a specific questionnaire element defined in the base table. The LANGUAGE column stores the ISO language code (e.g., 'US' for American English) and is part of the primary key, ensuring a unique translation per element per language. The most critical data column is typically a DESCRIPTION or similar translatable text field (though not explicitly named in the provided metadata, this is standard for TL tables), which holds the actual translated text for the questionnaire element as seen by users. Standard TL table columns like CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, and LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN are also present for auditing.

Common Use Cases and Queries

A primary use case is generating reports or application screens that display questionnaire elements in a specific language for international partners. Administrators may query this table to verify or audit translations. A common SQL pattern involves joining the TL table with its base table to retrieve a complete, language-specific view of an element. For example, to get all Spanish translations for active questionnaire elements, a query might be:

  • SELECT b.element_code, tl.description, tl.language
  • FROM pv_ge_qsnr_elements_b b, pv_ge_qsnr_elements_tl tl
  • WHERE b.qsnr_element_id = tl.qsnr_element_id
  • AND tl.language = 'ES'
  • AND b.enabled_flag = 'Y';

Another critical use case is during the installation of new language packs, where this table is populated with translated seed data for standard questionnaire elements.

Related Objects

The table has a direct and fundamental relationship with its base table, as documented in the provided metadata. The foreign key constraint defines this relationship, with PV_GE_QSNR_ELEMENTS_TL.QSNR_ELEMENT_ID referencing PV_GE_QSNR_ELEMENTS_B. All translatable data in this TL table is dependent on a corresponding record existing in the base table. While not listed in the excerpt, this TL table is also typically referenced by application programming interfaces (APIs) within the PV module, such as those used for importing or maintaining questionnaire definitions. All application forms and reports that display localized questionnaire text will ultimately query this table based on the user's session language.
