Overview

APPS.PER_EVENTS_LOV_V is a supplementary view in the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 releases, owned by the APPS schema and registered under the FND Design Data reference PER.PER_EVENTS_LOV_V. Its stated purpose is to simplify Oracle Forms coding by presenting a pre-joined, list-of-values (LOV) oriented projection of employee event data. The view is classified by Oracle as a supplementary view, and the object documentation explicitly warns that Oracle does not recommend querying or altering data through this view, since its definition may change dramatically in subsequent minor or major releases. This caution is significant for integration and reporting developers: although the view is exposed in the data dictionary and is queryable, it is not a supported public interface. Applications and custom reports that reference it do so at their own risk, and any dependency on its column list or WHERE-clause semantics should be treated as fragile. Status is VALID and the view is not referenced by any database object, confirming it is a terminal, Forms-facing construct used internally by the Oracle HRMS event/meeting scheduling forms rather than a dependency for other PL/SQL or database logic.

Underlying Base Objects

According to the documented dependency list, APPS.PER_EVENTS_LOV_V is defined over the following objects: FND_PROFILE (package), HR_API (package), HR_GENERAL (package), HR_LOCATIONS (view), HR_LOOKUPS (view), and PER_EVENTS (synonym). The presence of the PER_EVENTS synonym indicates that the event transaction data is sourced from the core PER_EVENTS table, which stores employee events such as appraisals, meetings, and scheduled reviews. HR_LOCATIONS and HR_LOOKUPS supply the descriptive, user-readable values (location names and lookup meanings) that make the LOV usable in a form field. HR_API, HR_GENERAL, and FND_PROFILE are typically used to enforce business-group security, date-handling rules, and profile-option-driven filters — for example, restricting returned rows to the current business group or applying effective-date logic. Because the view is not referenced by any other database object, it sits at the top of its dependency chain and functions purely as a presentation layer.

Key Columns

The view exposes five columns. ASSIGNMENT_ID (NUMBER, 10) identifies the assignment — the employee's position-incumbent relationship — to which the event applies. EVENT_ID (NUMBER, 15) is the unique identifier of the event record in PER_EVENTS. REVIEW_DATE (VARCHAR2, 75) is the date the event or review is scheduled or performed; notably it is exposed as a character string rather than a DATE, reflecting the formatting applied for LOV display. EVENT_TYPE (VARCHAR2, 80) holds the descriptive type of the event, resolved through HR_LOOKUPS. EVENT_LOCATION (VARCHAR2, 60) is the descriptive location of the event, resolved through HR_LOCATIONS. The user query term "event_location" corresponds directly to this column, making it the field of primary interest for location-based LOV searches.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The view is most commonly used to populate or validate an LOV-driven field on an HRMS form, and in lightweight reporting it can be joined to PER_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS_F for employee context. A representative query is:

  • SELECT assignment_id, event_id, review_date, event_type, event_location FROM apps.per_events_lov_v;
  • SELECT event_id, event_type, event_location FROM apps.per_events_lov_v WHERE event_location LIKE :search_term;
  • SELECT l.event_id, l.review_date, l.event_type, p.full_name FROM apps.per_events_lov_v l, apps.per_all_assignments_f p WHERE l.assignment_id = p.assignment_id AND l.event_location = :loc;

Because the view applies business-group and profile filters internally, callers should not attempt to re-implement that logic. Given Oracle's explicit warning about querying the view, developers requiring stable interfaces should instead query PER_EVENTS directly and resolve location and lookup descriptions themselves.
