Overview

OTFV_TRAINING_EVENT_SESSIONS is an APPS-owned database view in the Oracle E-Business Suite Learning Management module (OTA). It is documented as a business view template from which a flexfield view is generated, meaning it forms part of the descriptive flexfield (DFF) infrastructure used by Oracle Training Administration rather than serving as an end-user reporting object in isolation. The view presents session-level scheduling information for training events, joined to the parent scheduled event, the underlying activity definition and version, the training centre organization, and the business group. In Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 the object exists in the APPS schema with a synonym exposed to other schemas, and it is registered as VALID.

The view is primarily used by the flexfield view generation process for the OTA_EVENTS entity, as indicated by the literal column value '_DF:OTA:OTA_EVENTS:EVT'. This context identifier ties the view to the OTA_EVENTS descriptive flexfield, allowing session records to surface the appropriate DFF segments through a generated view. The view is created WITH READ ONLY, so it is strictly a query object.

Underlying Base Objects

The documented base objects referenced by the view are:

The join logic restricts sessions by EVT.EVENT_TYPE = 'SESSION' and requires the parent row to be EVT2.EVENT_TYPE = 'SCHEDULED', linking the two through PARENT_EVENT_ID = EVT2.EVENT_ID. Outer joins ((+)) are applied to the training centre, activity version, and activity definition so that sessions are not dropped when these relationships are absent. Language joins on the _TL tables use USERENV('LANG') to return names in the current session language, and business group filtering is applied through the security function.

Key Columns

Common Use Cases and Queries

The view supports queries that list training sessions together with their parent events and catalog activities, and it is also consumed indirectly by flexfield-enabled forms and reports. A typical query filters by business group and session title:

  • SELECT session_name, session_date, session_start_time, event_name, training_centre, activity_name FROM otfv_training_event_sessions WHERE business_group_id = :p_bg_id AND session_name LIKE :p_title;
  • SELECT event_name, session_name, session_date, time_zone FROM otfv_training_event_sessions ORDER BY event_name, session_date;

Because the view is read-only and secured by business group, it is safe for ad-hoc reporting and for inclusion in custom concurrent programs and XML Publisher data templates that need session-level detail tied to the OTA_EVENTS flexfield.
