Overview

APPS.PJM_INSTALL is an installation and setup utility package within the Oracle E-Business Suite Projects (PJM) application family. Its principal business purpose is to verify that the Projects module has been installed and correctly implemented, and to configure supporting value set structures that the Projects locator functionality depends upon. The package is declared AUTHID CURRENT_USER, meaning its SQL statements execute with the privileges of the invoking schema rather than the definer, a design choice typical of installation routines that must inspect and modify metadata owned by various schemas during setup.

The package header carries a source control identifier dated 2005, indicating that it is a long-standing infrastructure component that has been carried forward across releases. In Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 it is classified by ETRM as an OTHER API, reflecting that it forms part of the internal setup and diagnostic layer rather than a public transactional interface. It is referenced by two other packages, confirming its role as a shared dependency for installation validation logic elsewhere in the Projects codebase.

Key Procedures and Functions

The documented package specification exposes four routines:

  • CHECK_INSTALL — a function returning a Boolean value that determines whether the Projects installation is present and valid. It is the primary gate used by other components to confirm that Projects is available before proceeding with dependent processing.
  • ENABLE_INSTALL — a function returning a Boolean that enables or activates installation state for the module, complementing CHECK_INSTALL by transitioning the application into an operable condition.
  • CHECK_IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS — a function returning a Boolean that evaluates the implementation status of the Projects organization. It accepts an optional organization identifier parameter, defaulting to NULL, which allows the caller to test either a specific operating unit or the current context.
  • MAINTAIN_LOCATOR_VALUESETS — a procedure that creates and maintains the value sets used by Projects locator functionality. It is the routine most directly associated with the search term maintain_locator_valuesets, as it manipulates the flex value set definitions that back locator key flexfield segments.

All four routines are packaged together so that installation checks and locator value set maintenance travel as a single unit of deployment.

Tables Accessed

The package references a focused set of dictionary and setup tables through APPS synonyms:

  • FND_FLEX_VALUE_SETS and FND_ID_FLEX_SEGMENTS — read and written by MAINTAIN_LOCATOR_VALUESETS to define and align the value sets and segments that constitute the locator key flexfield structure.
  • PJM_ORG_PARAMETERS and PJM_PROJECT_PARAMETERS — inspected by the implementation status and install checks to confirm organization and project-level setup has been completed.
  • FND_PRODUCT_INSTALLATIONS — queried to confirm that Projects is registered as an installed product.
  • FND_ORACLE_USERID and USER_SYNONYMS — used to resolve the current database user and synonym resolution during installation-time validation.
  • AD_DDL — the Applications DDL utility table, used to perform or record DDL operations such as creating value sets during locator maintenance.

Usage Notes

PJM_INSTALL is invoked during Projects implementation and configuration activities rather than in day-to-day transaction processing. It is typically called from setup forms, installation verification scripts, or concurrent programs that validate that Projects has been properly installed and that locator value sets are correctly defined. Custom code that must conditionally branch on Projects availability should call CHECK_INSTALL or CHECK_IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS rather than querying installation tables directly, because these routines encapsulate the correct validation logic. Because MAINTAIN_LOCATOR_VALUESETS performs DDL against flexfield metadata, it should be executed only during controlled configuration windows by users with appropriate privileges, and never from high-volume runtime paths.
