Overview

The AMS_DIALOGS_ALL_B table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite Marketing (AMS) module, specifically for versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It functions as the base table for storing the definition of a dialog object. In the context of Oracle Marketing, a dialog represents a structured, multi-step interaction or communication flow with a target audience, such as a series of emails or offers. This table holds the primary transactional and configuration data for these dialogs, serving as the central entity for dialog management and campaign execution. Its multi-org structure, indicated by the "_ALL_" suffix, allows it to store data partitioned by operating unit.

Key Information Stored

The table's primary key is the DIALOG_ID column, which uniquely identifies each dialog record. Based on the documented foreign key relationships, other critical columns include PROGRAM_ID, which links the dialog to its parent campaign in AMS_CAMPAIGNS_ALL_B. The OWNER_ID column references the marketing resource responsible for the dialog via JTF_RS_RESOURCE_EXTNS. Status management is handled through USER_STATUS_ID, linked to AMS_USER_STATUSES_B. For multi-currency and internationalization support, the table stores TRANSACTION_CURRENCY_CODE (linked to FND_CURRENCIES) and LANGUAGE_CODE (linked to FND_LANGUAGES). The APPLICATION_ID ties the dialog to a specific application module, and CUSTOM_SETUP_ID allows for extended custom configurations.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to querying dialog metadata for operational reporting, integration, and data validation. Common scenarios include generating a list of all active dialogs within a specific campaign, auditing dialog ownership, or extracting dialog details for a data migration. A typical query would join to its related translation table (AMS_DIALOGS_ALL_TL) to retrieve language-specific names.

  • Sample Query: Retrieving basic dialog information with campaign context.
    SELECT dlg.DIALOG_ID, dlg.PROGRAM_ID, camp.CAMPAIGN_NAME, dlg.OWNER_ID, dlg.USER_STATUS_ID
    FROM AMS.AMS_DIALOGS_ALL_B dlg,
         AMS.AMS_CAMPAIGNS_ALL_B camp
    WHERE dlg.PROGRAM_ID = camp.CAMPAIGN_ID
    AND camp.ORG_ID = :p_org_id;
  • Data Fix: Updating the owner of a specific dialog.
    UPDATE AMS.AMS_DIALOGS_ALL_B
    SET OWNER_ID = :new_owner_id
    WHERE DIALOG_ID = :p_dialog_id;
