Overview

The CUG_SR_TASK_ATTR_VALS_TL table is a translation (TL) table within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Citizen Interaction Center (CUG) product module. Its primary role is to store language-specific, translatable text for the attributes of service request tasks. It functions as a supporting object to its base table, CUG_SR_TASK_ATTR_VALS_B, which holds the core, non-translatable data. This structure is a standard Oracle EBS design pattern, enabling the application to support multiple languages by storing user-facing descriptive content separately from transactional data. The table is valid and operational in both EBS releases 12.1.1 and 12.2.2.

Key Information Stored

The table stores translated values for task attributes, keyed by language and the base record identifier. While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the structure of translation tables in EBS is highly consistent. The critical columns, as defined by the primary and foreign keys, are:

  • SR_TASK_ATTR_VAL_ID: The foreign key linking the translation record to its corresponding master record in the CUG_SR_TASK_ATTR_VALS_B table.
  • LANGUAGE: The language code (e.g., 'US' for American English) for the translated text in this row.
  • Translated Description/Name Column(s): Typically named columns like DESCRIPTION or DISPLAY_NAME that contain the actual translated text for the task attribute value in the specified language.
  • SOURCE_LANG: A standard column in TL tables indicating the original language in which the data was entered.

The primary key ensures that for any given task attribute value (SR_TASK_ATTR_VAL_ID), there can be only one translation record per language.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily accessed by the application's user interface layer to display task attribute information in the user's session language. Common technical and reporting scenarios include:

  • Multi-Language User Interface Support: The application joins this table to the base table to fetch the appropriate translated description based on the user's session language setting (NLS_LANGUAGE).
  • Data Extraction for Multi-Lingual Reports: Extracting task attribute data for a specific language or all supported languages for external reporting or data feeds.
  • Translation Management: Queries to identify base records missing translations for a target language or to audit existing translations.

A typical query pattern to retrieve translated task attribute values would be: SELECT b.attribute_column, tl.description FROM cug_sr_task_attr_vals_b b, cug_sr_task_attr_vals_tl tl WHERE b.sr_task_attr_val_id = tl.sr_task_attr_val_id AND tl.language = USERENV('LANG');

Related Objects

The table has a direct, foundational relationship with its base table, as documented in the metadata.

  • CUG_SR_TASK_ATTR_VALS_B: This is the primary base table referenced by CUG_SR_TASK_ATTR_VALS_TL. The foreign key relationship is defined on the column CUG_SR_TASK_ATTR_VALS_TL.SR_TASK_ATTR_VAL_ID referencing CUG_SR_TASK_ATTR_VALS_B. All translation records are dependent on a master record existing in this base table. The join condition for querying these tables together is typically SR_TASK_ATTR_VAL_ID.

As a translation table, it is also implicitly related to any application forms, views, or APIs that present or process the translatable descriptions of service request task attributes from the Citizen Interaction Center module.
