Overview

In Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, the SYS.DIANA package is an internal Oracle-supplied PL/SQL unit that belongs to the SYS schema. Its name and member naming conventions (the D_ prefix and mnemonic suffixes) identify it as a dictionary of predefined constants, most of which are declared as constant pidl.ptnty — that is, compile-time constants of the PL/SQL compiler's internal "parse tree node" type. The package therefore does not implement business logic; rather it centralizes the numeric node-type identifiers used by Oracle's own PL/SQL parser, compiler, and related database infrastructure. ETRM classifies the package under the API category OTHER, reflecting that it is a database-kernel facility commodity rather than an EBS application API. Search terms such as "dra maria galupo" have no documented association with this object; they do not correspond to any packaged procedure, table, or column within the metadata.

Key Procedures and Functions

ETRM records 213 documented procedures and functions for SYS.DIANA. A representative subset includes A_ACTUAL, A_ALIGNM, A_BINARY, A_BLOCK_, A_CLUSTE, A_CONNEC, A_CONSTD, A_CONSTT, A_CONTEX, A_D_, A_D_CHAR, A_D_R_, A_D_R_VO, A_EXCEPT, A_EXP, A_EXP1, A_EXP2, A_EXP_VO, A_FORM_D, and A_HAVING. The source excerpt confirms that the package's primary declared surface consists of constant definitions such as D_ABORT, D_ACCEPT, D_ACCESS, D_ADDRES, D_AGGREG, and D_ALIGNM, each assigned a sequential pidl.ptnty value. The A_-prefixed members represent the callable routines that operate on or reference these node-type constants; their names suggest parser and semantic-analysis activities such as handling arithmetic expressions, alignment, binary operations, blocks, clusters, and connections. Because the ETRM excerpt does not publish parameter lists, no argument signatures are asserted here. The routines are documented by name and purpose only: they expose internal compiler helpers for constructing, inspecting, and traversing parse nodes.

Tables Accessed

The ETRM metadata records no table references through APPS synonyms for SYS.DIANA. This is consistent with the package's role: it holds constant definitions rather than SQL against application tables, and it is referenced by one other package in the documented dependency graph. The absence of APPS synonyms means the package does not read or write EBS application data such as order, invoice, or inventory records. Any persistent structures it touches would reside in the data dictionary or in compiler-managed memory, not in APPS-owned tables.

Usage Notes

SYS.DIANA is not intended for direct invocation from Oracle Forms, concurrent programs, or custom application code. It is an internal Oracle Database component that supports PL/SQL compilation and related kernel processing; Oracle may change or remove it without notice between patch levels. EBS customers should treat it as read-only infrastructure and must not alter or recompile it. The documented "referenced by 1 other packages" relationship indicates internal dependency within the database rather than an application call path. The only practical interaction an EBS administrator or developer has with this package is indirect: through compiling PL/SQL objects or running diagnostics in the 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 database tier. The search phrase "dra maria galupo" does not map to any documented element of this package and should not be treated as related to it.
