Overview

APPS.CZ_DEBUG_PUB is a public utility package within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 codebase, belonging to the ETRM (Enterprise Tax and Regulatory Management) product family. It is classified as a PUB (public) API, meaning its procedures are intended to be called from outside the package, and it is declared with AUTHID CURRENT_USER. The package provides centralized debugging and diagnostic message-handling services used throughout the ETRM application. Its primary business function is to capture, assemble, and persist debug messages generated during processing, and to translate internal numeric status codes into human-readable text. The header comment (revision 115.4) confirms it is a shipped, maintained object. A key aspect of its design is the definition of two PL/SQL collection types: t_messageRecord, a record capturing message text, the calling procedure, and a SQL status code, and msg_text_list, an associative array of those records indexed by BINARY_INTEGER. These types allow multiple debug messages to be accumulated in memory during a processing run and then flushed to the log in a single operation, which reduces overhead compared to writing each message individually.

Key Procedures and Functions

The package exposes three documented procedures:

  • POPULATE_DEBUG_MESSAGE — Populates debug messages into a caller-supplied message list. It accepts message text, the calling program identifier, and a numeric status code, and appends the assembled record to the msg_text_list collection passed in as an IN OUT NOCOPY parameter. This procedure enables application code to accumulate diagnostic context as it executes.
  • INSERT_INTO_LOGS — Writes the contents of an accumulated msg_text_list collection to the persistent log table CZ_DB_LOGS. Like the populate procedure, it uses an IN OUT NOCOPY collection parameter, allowing the collected debug messages to be persisted in bulk.
  • GET_BATCH_VALIDATE_MESSAGE — Decodes a numeric status value returned from a batch validation process into a readable message. Given an input status number and an OUT NOCOPY VARCHAR2, it returns the corresponding descriptive text. This procedure is the object of interest for users searching on the term "get_batch_validate_message," reflecting its role in surfacing batch validation results to operators or calling programs.

Tables Accessed

The package references four objects through APPS synonyms. CZ_DB_LOGS is the principal table, serving as the repository into which debug records are written; its columns supply the datatypes for the message text, caller, and status code fields of the internal record type. CZ_XFR_RUN_INFOS_S is referenced in connection with batch validation and transfer-run processing, consistent with the batch validation decoding routine. DUAL is used for single-row utility SELECTs typical of PL/SQL packages. PLITBLM is an internal Oracle dictionary object that may appear in dependency chains rather than being directly queried by application logic. A close coupling with CZ_DB_LOGS is therefore the central data access characteristic of this package.

Usage Notes

CZ_DEBUG_PUB is typically invoked from ETRM batch validation, transfer, and concurrent processing logic, where it accumulates messages during execution and flushes them to CZ_DB_LOGS via INSERT_INTO_LOGS. GET_BATCH_VALIDATE_MESSAGE is commonly called to translate batch validation status codes into user-facing or loggable text, for example when a validation routine returns a numeric code that must be presented in a form or report. The package is referenced by at least one other package in the ETRM schema, confirming its role as a shared diagnostic service rather than a standalone component. Because it is classified as PUB, it is a supported dependency for custom extensions, but callers should note the use of AUTHID CURRENT_USER, meaning privileges resolve to the invoking user. As with all diagnostic utilities, production usage should account for the volume of rows written to CZ_DB_LOGS and provide for periodic purging.
