Overview

IEU_WP_SECTIONS_B is the base (non-translated) table in the IEU schema that stores the definition of Work Panel Sections used by the Universal Work Queue (UWQ) in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. Work Panel Sections organize the functional groupings presented to agents within the UWQ work panel, allowing administrators to partition queues, resources, and dashboards into logical regions that are rendered to the end user. The table holds the language-independent attributes of a section, while descriptive text is maintained separately in the corresponding translation table.

From a Data Vault modeling perspective, the heuristic classification provided in the metadata is hub-leaning. This suggests that IEU_WP_SECTIONS_B is best treated as a hub-like entity: SECTION_ID behaves as the durable business key around which descriptive and auditable attributes can be modeled as satellites. The presence of a single primary key, a unique business-key index, and only a light foreign-key footprint (a reference to FND_SECURITY_GROUPS) supports this interpretation.

Key Information Stored

The table contains ten documented columns. The most significant are the following.

  • SECTION_ID — the surrogate primary key, constrained by IEU_WP_SECTIONS_B_PK. It uniquely identifies each work panel section and is the column referenced by child tables.
  • SECTION_CODE — a business-facing identifier for the section, used to reference the section programmatically and to distinguish it from other sections regardless of display name.
  • SECURITY_GROUP_ID — foreign key to FND_SECURITY_GROUPS, controlling which security group owns and can access the section definition.
  • OBJECT_VERSION_NUMBER — optimistic locking column used by the Oracle Applications framework to detect concurrent updates.
  • ZD_EDITION_NAME — the editioning column introduced by the EBS online patching architecture in 12.2.x, which is part of the unique index IEU_WP_SECTIONS_B_U1 (SECTION_ID, ZD_EDITION_NAME).
  • CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE — standard WHO columns capturing the creating user and timestamp.
  • LAST_UPDATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN — standard WHO columns capturing the last modification user, timestamp, and login session.

The unique index IEU_WP_SECTIONS_B_U1 on (SECTION_ID, ZD_EDITION_NAME) is the strongest documented business-key candidate and reinforces the role of SECTION_ID as the natural hub key, with the edition column supporting edition-based redefinition.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Administrators and developers query this table to inventory the sections configured for the Universal Work Queue, to audit ownership and security group assignment, and to drive reporting on work panel layout. A typical lookup joins the base table to its translation table to retrieve display names.

  • Listing all sections with their security group: SELECT s.section_id, s.section_code, t.section_name FROM ieu.ieu_wp_sections_b s JOIN ieu.ieu_wp_sections_tl t ON t.section_id = s.section_id WHERE t.language = USERENV('LANG');
  • Auditing recent changes: filter on LAST_UPDATE_DATE and LAST_UPDATED_BY to identify modifications in a given period.
  • Security review: group sections by SECURITY_GROUP_ID to confirm segregation across operating units or responsibility groupings.
  • Migration and comparison: compare SECTION_CODE values across instances to validate configuration consistency during cloning or upgrades.

Related Objects

The most significant objects related to IEU_WP_SECTIONS_B are:

  • IEU_WP_SECTIONS_TL — the translation table; joined on SECTION_ID to retrieve language-specific section names and descriptions. This is the primary dependent object.
  • FND_SECURITY_GROUPS — referenced through SECURITY_GROUP_ID, defining the security grouping that owns each section.
  • IEU_WP_SECTIONS_B_PK — the primary key constraint on SECTION_ID.
  • IEU_WP_SECTIONS_B_U1 — the unique index on (SECTION_ID, ZD_EDITION_NAME).

Because descriptions and names reside in IEU_WP_SECTIONS_TL, most queries against this base table should join to the translation table to produce user-understandable output.
