Overview

AMS_DM_MODEL_TRAINING_V is a database view owned by the APPS schema in Oracle E-Business Suite, delivered as part of the AMS (Marketing) product family. According to the Enterprise Technical Reference Manual (ETRM), the object is documented as a "dummy view created to grant access to the ODM (data mining schema)." This description establishes its primary architectural purpose: it is not a functional reporting view in the conventional sense, but rather a security and privilege grant mechanism.

Oracle Data Mining (ODM) operates within its own database schema, separate from the standard APPS schema that hosts most EBS application objects. To enable EBS components — particularly Oracle Marketing's data mining and predictive modeling features — to reference ODM objects, Oracle created placeholder views in the APPS schema. These dummy views serve as grant targets, allowing the ODM schema to issue SELECT privileges on APPS-owned objects without exposing the underlying application tables directly. The view itself contains no business data and performs no transformation logic; it exists purely to satisfy the privilege model.

Underlying Base Objects

The view definition is minimal by design, as documented in the ETRM view text:

SELECT 1 DUMMY FROM DUAL

The only referenced base object is DUAL, which in the ETRM metadata is recorded as a SYNONYM. DUAL is the standard Oracle one-row, one-column pseudo-table used for expression evaluation and structural placeholder queries. Because AMS_DM_MODEL_TRAINING_V selects a literal value from DUAL, it returns exactly one row with a constant value of 1, regardless of the state of any application data. There are no joins to marketing campaign tables, customer tables, or any ODM model repository objects within the view definition itself. The view does not project, filter, or aggregate data from any EBS transactional or setup entity.

Key Columns

The view exposes a single column, documented in the ETRM as:

• DUMMY — A numeric literal column populated with the constant value 1 for the single row returned by the query. The column carries no business meaning and is not used for analytical or transactional reporting. Its presence is an artifact of the SELECT statement required to define a valid view object in the data dictionary.

Because the column contains a constant, it cannot be used for filtering, joining, or deriving business insight. Any query against this view will symmetrically return one row containing the value 1.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The practical use cases for AMS_DM_MODEL_TRAINING_V are administrative rather than analytical. Typical scenarios include:

• Privilege verification — A DBA confirming that the ODM schema has been granted appropriate access to APPS objects during Oracle Marketing data mining configuration.
• Object existence checks — Validating that the view exists and is VALID in the data dictionary after patching or cloning.
• Connectivity smoke tests — A minimal query to confirm schema access from the ODM side.

Sample SQL statements consistent with these scenarios include:

SELECT * FROM APPS.AMS_DM_MODEL_TRAINING_V;

SELECT DUMMY FROM APPS.AMS_DM_MODEL_TRAINING_V;

SELECT object_name, status
FROM   dba_objects
WHERE  object_name = 'AMS_DM_MODEL_TRAINING_V';

It is important to note that this view should not be used as a data source for marketing analytics, model scoring, or campaign reporting. Functional data mining metadata resides in the ODM schema and its associated model tables; AMS_DM_MODEL_TRAINING_V is simply the grant bridge that permits that interaction to occur within the EBS security model.
