Overview

The AMW_AP_INTERFACE table is a data interface table within the Oracle E-Business Suite module AMW (Internal Controls Manager). Its primary role is to serve as a staging area for audit procedure data uploaded into the system via Web Application Desktop Integrator (WebADI). This design pattern is common in EBS, where interface tables temporarily hold data from external sources before it is validated and processed into the application's base tables. It is critical to note that, per the provided ETRM documentation, the AMW module is marked as obsolete. Furthermore, the documentation explicitly states this specific table is "Not implemented in this database," indicating it may exist as a schema object but is not actively used in standard deployments of versions 12.1.1 or 12.2.2.

Key Information Stored

As an interface table for audit procedure uploads, it would typically store a combination of column values from the source upload file and system-generated control columns. The documented primary key is AMW_AP_INTERFACE_PK on the column AP_INTERFACE_ID, which is a unique system-generated identifier for each row in the interface table. While the full column list is not provided, based on standard EBS interface table design and the context of audit procedures, the table would likely hold data such as the audit procedure code, name, description, associated process or risk identifiers, effective dates, and the upload batch information. It would also standardly include control columns like PROCESS_STATUS, ERROR_CODE, and REQUEST_ID to manage the concurrent processing and validation of the uploaded data.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The principal use case for this table was the bulk creation or update of audit procedures via WebADI, allowing control owners or auditors to maintain procedure libraries efficiently. In a functional environment, typical operations would involve querying the interface table to monitor the status of uploads or to diagnose errors. Common SQL patterns would include:

  • Checking for rows pending processing: SELECT * FROM amw_ap_interface WHERE process_status = 'PENDING';
  • Identifying rows that failed validation: SELECT ap_interface_id, error_code FROM amw_ap_interface WHERE process_status = 'ERROR';
  • Reviewing data uploaded in a specific batch: SELECT * FROM amw_ap_interface WHERE request_id = &request_id;

Given the module's obsolete status and the table's non-implementation, these queries are primarily of historical or diagnostic relevance.

Related Objects

The most directly related object is the primary key constraint, AMW_AP_INTERFACE_PK. This interface table would have been populated by a WebADI-based upload process, likely invoking a custom PL/SQL package or a standard AMW API program to validate its data and transfer it to the base audit procedure table, which is likely named AMW_AUDIT_PROCEDURES_B or similar. The table's data would be tied to the concurrent request mechanism via the REQUEST_ID column, linking it to FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS. Due to the module's obsolescence, dependencies on this table from other active application objects are expected to be minimal or non-existent.
