Overview

The AMS_DM_SCORES_ALL_TL table is a core data translation object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Marketing (AMS) module. It functions as a language-specific container for translatable descriptive columns associated with model scoring instances. In the context of Oracle EBS's multi-language and multi-organization (multi-org) architecture, this table supports the localization of scoring data, enabling the deployment of marketing models across global enterprises. Its primary role is to store translated text for corresponding non-translatable base data held in its parent table, AMS_DM_SCORES_ALL_B, thereby facilitating user interfaces and reports in a user's native language.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to manage translations through a composite primary key and a foreign key relationship. The critical columns include SCORE_ID, which is the foreign key linking each translation row to its corresponding base record in AMS_DM_SCORES_ALL_B. The LANGUAGE column holds the language code (e.g., 'US' for American English, 'F' for French) for the translation. The table's primary key constraint, AMS_DM_SCORES_ALL_TL_PK, is defined on the combination of LANGUAGE and SCORE_ID, ensuring only one translation per language per scoring instance. While the specific translatable column names are not detailed in the provided metadata, such tables typically store translated names, descriptions, or other textual attributes of the scoring instance.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily accessed by the application's internal logic to present localized content. Common operational and reporting scenarios include generating user-facing lists of scoring models in a session's language or building multi-language reports for regional analysis. A typical query would join this table to its base table to retrieve a translated description.

  • Retrieving Translated Scores for a Specific Language: SELECT b.SCORE_ID, tl.DESCRIPTION FROM AMS_DM_SCORES_ALL_B b, AMS_DM_SCORES_ALL_TL tl WHERE b.SCORE_ID = tl.SCORE_ID AND tl.LANGUAGE = USERENV('LANG');
  • Reporting All Available Translations for a Score: SELECT SCORE_ID, LANGUAGE FROM AMS_DM_SCORES_ALL_TL WHERE SCORE_ID = :p_score_id ORDER BY LANGUAGE;

Direct data manipulation (DML) on this table is typically performed via Oracle's standard translation utilities or APIs rather than through manual SQL, to maintain data integrity with the base table.

Related Objects

The AMS_DM_SCORES_ALL_TL table has a direct and essential relationship with a single base table, as defined by its foreign key constraint.

  • AMS_DM_SCORES_ALL_B: This is the primary related object. The TL table is wholly dependent on it, with the SCORE_ID column serving as the foreign key (AMS_DM_SCORES_ALL_TL.SCORE_ID) referencing the base table. All scoring instance data, except for its translated text, is stored here.
  • FND_LANGUAGES: Although not explicitly listed in the metadata, the LANGUAGE column in translation tables like this one often has an indirect relationship with the application's language lookup table, FND_LANGUAGES, which defines valid installed languages.

This structure is a standard Oracle EBS design pattern for supporting multilingual capabilities, ensuring that core transactional data in the "_B" table remains separate from its descriptive translations in the corresponding "_TL" table.
