Overview

The view EGO_VS_VALIDATION_CODES_V is a reporting and integration construct owned by the APPS schema within the Oracle E-Business Suite environment, specifically associated with the EGO product, Advanced Product Catalog. As documented in the ETRM reference for releases 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, this view contains the applicable validation codes for value sets supported in the EGO application. It exposes the set of permitted validation types that the catalog and attribute framework recognizes when defining or constraining value sets.

The view is intended for consumption by concurrent programs, personalizations, extensions, and integration layers that need to enumerate the valid validation types without querying the underlying Oracle Application Object Library (FND) lookup table directly. By filtering the FND lookup data down to a controlled list, the view guarantees a stable and application-scoped enumeration of validation codes.

Underlying Base Objects

The view is defined over a single documented base object, FND_LOOKUP_VALUES, which is exposed in the APPS schema as a synonym. The view text applies a series of filter predicates against that table:

  • A restriction on LOOKUP_TYPE equal to the value SEG_VAL_TYPES, isolating the lookup type that models segment and value set validation types.
  • A restriction that LOOKUP_CODE is limited to the codes F, I, N, and X.
  • The predicate VIEW_APPLICATION_ID = 0, which selects the shared, non-application-specific lookup values rather than application overrides.
  • The predicate LANGUAGE = USERENV('LANG'), which returns only the translations matching the session language of the connecting user.

Column projection is limited to LOOKUP_CODE, MEANING, ENABLED_FLAG, START_DATE_ACTIVE (aliased as START_DATE), and END_DATE_ACTIVE (aliased as END_DATE).

Key Columns

  • LOOKUP_CODE — The validation type identifier. Documented permitted values are F, I, N, and X, representing the EGO-supported value set validation codes.
  • MEANING — The translated display text associated with the lookup code, providing a user-facing description of the validation type.
  • ENABLED_FLAG — Indicates whether the lookup value is currently enabled (Y) or disabled (N). Consumers typically filter on an enabled value before presenting or applying a validation code.
  • START_DATE — The beginning of the effective date range of the lookup value, derived from START_DATE_ACTIVE.
  • END_DATE — The end of the effective date range of the lookup value, derived from END_DATE_ACTIVE. A null value generally indicates the code has no expiration.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Typical use cases include populating a list of values in a custom form or OAF page that lets a user choose a value set validation type, validating an inbound interface payload against supported validation codes, and reporting on which validation types are active. A straightforward query returns all applicable codes:

SELECT LOOKUP_CODE, MEANING, ENABLED_FLAG, START_DATE, END_DATE FROM APPS.EGO_VS_VALIDATION_CODES_V;

To restrict the result set to currently enabled codes, the standard filter is applied:

SELECT LOOKUP_CODE, MEANING FROM APPS.EGO_VS_VALIDATION_CODES_V WHERE ENABLED_FLAG = 'Y';

Because the view already performs language resolution through USERENV('LANG'), no additional translation join is required; the MEANING returned reflects the connecting user's session language. Callers should continue to rely on the ENABLED_FLAG and effective date columns to determine applicability at any given point in time.
