Overview

The AMS_DLG_COMP_TYPE_OUTCOME_TL table is a translation (TL) table within the Oracle E-Business Suite Marketing (AMS) module. Its primary role is to store the translated, language-specific names for dialog component type outcomes. This table supports the multi-language capabilities of Oracle EBS, enabling the application to display outcome descriptions in a user's preferred language. It functions as a child table to the base data table (AMS_DLG_COMP_TYPE_OUTCOME_B), holding only the translatable descriptive text while the core, non-translatable attributes are maintained in the base table. This design is a standard Oracle Application Object Library (AOL) pattern for implementing multilingual support.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is centered on storing translated text linked to a specific outcome identifier. While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the primary and foreign key relationships define its core columns. The critical column is OUTCOME_ID, which is the primary key and serves as the foreign key link to the base table. This column uniquely identifies the dialog component type outcome for which a translation is provided. Other standard columns for an AOL translation table are implicitly present, including LANGUAGE (to identify the translation language, such as 'US' for American English) and SOURCE_LANG (to denote the source language of the original record). The table also contains the translated outcome name itself, typically in a column named OUTCOME_NAME or a similar descriptive field.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case is the dynamic rendering of marketing dialog interfaces in a user's session language within Oracle Marketing. When an application form or report needs to display an outcome name, a query joins this translation table with the base table, filtered by the user's language setting. A common SQL pattern for retrieving translated outcomes is:

• SELECT tl.outcome_name FROM ams_dlg_comp_type_outcome_tl tl, ams_dlg_comp_type_outcome_b b WHERE b.outcome_id = tl.outcome_id AND tl.language = USERENV('LANG') AND [additional business criteria]

This table is also critical for reporting and data extraction processes that require human-readable outcome names in a specific language. Administrators may query this table directly to audit or manage the availability of translations for different languages.

Related Objects

This table has a direct and singular foreign key relationship, as documented in the provided metadata.

• AMS_DLG_COMP_TYPE_OUTCOME_B: This is the base table for dialog component type outcomes. The relationship is defined by the foreign key from AMS_DLG_COMP_TYPE_OUTCOME_TL.OUTCOME_ID to a corresponding column in the base table. All records in the TL table must have a corresponding master record in this base table. This is a critical join for any query requiring both translated descriptions and the operational data of an outcome.
