Overview

The QRM_DEAL_CALC_ERRORS table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, specifically for the QRM (Risk Management) module. It serves as the central repository for capturing and storing error and warning messages generated during quantitative risk analysis runs. Its primary role is to provide a detailed audit trail of calculation issues, enabling users and system administrators to diagnose problems, validate results, and ensure the integrity of complex financial risk assessments performed by the QRM engine. The table's design, with a composite primary key, ensures that messages are uniquely tied to a specific analysis execution, deal, and data context.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to precisely identify the context of each error. The primary key columns are critical for this purpose: ANALYSIS_NAME identifies the specific risk analysis type; DEAL_NO specifies the financial instrument or transaction; ERROR_CODE categorizes the issue; MARKET_DATA_SET denotes the market data scenario used; and TRANSACTION_NO links to the parent calculation run. While the provided metadata does not list all columns, the foreign key relationships imply the presence of columns like TRANSACTION_NO, DEAL_NO, and MARKET_DATA_SET. The table logically stores the error code, a descriptive message, and potentially a severity indicator (Error/Warning), allowing for filtering and prioritization during troubleshooting activities.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case is troubleshooting failed or problematic QRM analysis jobs. Users typically query this table to understand why specific deals failed to process or to review warnings that may affect the reliability of results. A common reporting pattern involves joining with the QRM_DEAL_CALCULATIONS table to get additional context about the run, such as the calculation date or status. Sample SQL to retrieve errors for a specific analysis run might be:

  • SELECT * FROM QRM.QRM_DEAL_CALC_ERRORS WHERE ANALYSIS_NAME = 'VaR_Simulation' AND TRANSACTION_NO = 100245;
  • SELECT e.*, c.CALCULATION_DATE FROM QRM.QRM_DEAL_CALC_ERRORS e, QRM.QRM_DEAL_CALCULATIONS c WHERE e.TRANSACTION_NO = c.TRANSACTION_NO AND c.STATUS = 'ERROR';

These queries support operational monitoring, batch job validation, and data quality assurance processes within the risk management function.

Related Objects

The QRM_DEAL_CALC_ERRORS table has a direct and dependent relationship with the QRM_DEAL_CALCULATIONS table, which is the master record for analysis execution. As documented in the foreign key metadata:

  • QRM_DEAL_CALCULATIONS: This table is referenced via the foreign key on the TRANSACTION_NO, DEAL_NO, and MARKET_DATA_SET columns. Specifically, QRM_DEAL_CALC_ERRORS.TRANSACTION_NO references QRM_DEAL_CALCULATIONS. This relationship ensures that every error record is associated with a valid parent calculation transaction. The QRM_DEAL_CALCULATIONS table likely stores high-level run parameters and summary status, while QRM_DEAL_CALC_ERRORS holds the detailed diagnostic messages.

This relationship is fundamental, indicating that error records are child records of a calculation run and are integral to the QRM calculation workflow.
