Overview

APPS.ECE_EXTRACT_UTILS_PUB is a public PL/SQL package body in the Oracle E-Business Suite E-Commerce Gateway (ECE) module. Its primary business function is to provide utility services that support the extraction and staging of transaction data destined for outbound EDI processing. Within the ECE architecture, extract programs read transactional data from Oracle applications — such as order management, purchasing, and inventory — and format it into flat files or interface staging tables before delivery to trading partners. This package supplies the reusable building blocks for those extract processes, including dynamic SQL clause construction, positional string parsing, and controlled insertion of rows into interface tables. Because it is classified as a PUB (public) API, it is intended to be called by other ECE packages rather than executed directly by end users.

Key Procedures and Functions

The documented interface exposes eight procedures and functions, each serving a specific utility role:

• SELECT_CLAUSE — Constructs or returns a WHERE/SELECT clause fragment used to filter extraction queries dynamically.
• INSERT_INTO_INTERFACE_TBL — Performs insertion of records into the generic ECE interface table used during data staging.
• INSERT_INTO_PROD_INTERFACE — Handles insertion into the product-specific interface table for extraction output.
• INSERT_INTO_PROD_INTERFACE_PVT — The private implementation routine invoked by the public insert procedure, separating the public API contract from the underlying logic.
• FIND_POS — Locates the position of a delimiter or token within a string, returning the offset for parsing operations.
• POS_OF — Returns the position of a specified character or substring, supporting fixed-format flat-file parsing.
• EXT_GET_VALUE — Retrieves a value from an extraction structure, typically used to read a field during flat-file assembly.
• EXT_INSERT_VALUE — Inserts or appends a value into an extraction structure prior to output generation.

Tables Accessed

The package accesses the following objects, referenced through APPS synonyms:

• ECE_ERROR — The base ECE error table, used to record extraction failures and diagnostic information.
• ECE_ERROR_S — The sequence (or supporting object) associated with ECE_ERROR, providing unique identifiers for error records. This object matches the user's search term "ece_error_s" and is a direct dependency of the package.
• DBMS_SQL — Oracle's built-in dynamic SQL package, used extensively for executing dynamically constructed queries.
• PLITBLM — A PL/SQL table/index-by-table type used for in-memory collections of values during extraction processing.

Usage Notes

ECE_EXTRACT_UTILS_PUB is not invoked directly by end users through forms. It is called programmatically by ECE extract concurrent programs and by other ECE packages — the metadata confirms it is referenced by nine other packages. Its dependencies on ECE_ERROR_HANDLING_PVT, ECE_FLATFILE_PVT, FND_API, FND_MSG_PUB, FND_GLOBAL, and EC_DEBUG confirm that it participates in the standard EBS error-handling, messaging, and debugging framework. Customizations should avoid modifying this package; instead, developers extending ECE extract functionality should treat it as a utility API and call its documented procedures, ensuring compatibility across EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2.
