Overview

The RG_DSS_SYSTEMS table is a core repository within the Application Report Generator (RG) module of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). It serves as the master definition table for Financial Analyzer financial data sets. In the context of EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, this table underpins the configuration and management of multidimensional data sets used for complex financial reporting and analysis. Each record defines a distinct analytical system, establishing the foundational parameters for how financial data is structured, aggregated, and reported upon within the RG module, enabling advanced analytical capabilities beyond standard GL reporting.

Key Information Stored

The table's primary purpose is to store metadata that defines a financial data set. The key columns include the unique identifier SYSTEM_ID, which serves as the primary key, and the NAME column, which provides a unique, user-defined name for the data set. A critical structural column is PERIOD_SET_NAME, which establishes a foreign key relationship to the GL_PERIOD_SETS table. This link ensures that the financial data set's accounting calendar is synchronized with the General Ledger's calendar structure, maintaining period integrity across transactional and analytical systems. Additional columns (implied by the table's purpose but not explicitly listed in the provided metadata) would typically store configuration details such as the chart of accounts mapping, data set status, and other system-level flags.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily accessed during the setup and maintenance of Financial Analyzer systems. Common administrative tasks include querying all defined systems, validating system configurations against the GL calendar, and troubleshooting integration issues. A typical query would retrieve the basic definition of all active systems:

  • SELECT system_id, name, period_set_name FROM rg.rg_dss_systems ORDER BY name;

For integration validation, a join to GL_PERIOD_SETS ensures the referenced calendar is valid:

  • SELECT s.name, s.period_set_name, p.period_set_name FROM rg.rg_dss_systems s, gl.gl_period_sets p WHERE s.period_set_name = p.period_set_name(+);

Reporting use cases often involve listing the analytical systems available for a specific ledger or chart of accounts, which requires joins through related configuration tables.

Related Objects

The RG_DSS_SYSTEMS table sits at the center of a key relationship hierarchy within the Report Generator schema. It references one parent table and is referenced by several child tables that store more granular configuration.

  • Referenced Parent Table:
    • GL_PERIOD_SETS: Linked via RG_DSS_SYSTEMS.PERIOD_SET_NAME. This ensures the financial data set uses a valid General Ledger accounting calendar.
  • Referencing Child Tables:
    • RG_DSS_SYSTEM_SEG_ORDER: Linked via RG_DSS_SYSTEM_SEG_ORDER.SYSTEM_ID. This table defines the segment order and hierarchy for the data set.
    • RG_DSS_SYSTEM_VARIABLES: Linked via RG_DSS_SYSTEM_VARIABLES.SYSTEM_ID. This table stores user-defined variables and their mappings for the analytical system.
