Overview

The JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_B table is a core data structure within the Oracle E-Business Suite CRM Foundation (JTF) module, specifically supporting the display and content management framework. It serves as the master repository for section definitions, which are fundamental building blocks for organizing and presenting content within various CRM applications. A section acts as a logical container that can hold other content items, deliverables, or even nested child sections, enabling the construction of complex, hierarchical page layouts. Its primary role is to manage the structural metadata for content display, independent of specific language translations, which are stored in the related JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_TL table.

Key Information Stored

While the provided metadata does not list all columns, the primary and foreign key relationships reveal the critical data points. The central identifier is the SECTION_ID (Primary Key), which uniquely identifies each section record. The ACCESS_NAME column serves as a unique alternate key, likely used for programmatic referencing. Two significant foreign keys define a section's context and content: DISPLAY_CONTEXT_ID links the section to a display context in JTF_DSP_CONTEXT_B, controlling where and how the section is rendered, and DELIVERABLE_ID optionally links the section to a specific deliverable object in AMS_DELIVERABLES_ALL_B from the Marketing module. Other typical columns in such base tables include CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, CREATED_BY, LAST_UPDATED_BY, and ENABLED_FLAG for lifecycle management.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to queries that retrieve the layout or navigational structure of CRM application pages, particularly for microsites and content-driven portals. A common use case involves fetching the hierarchical section tree for a given microsite root to render a menu or sitemap. Developers and administrators may query this table to audit content structure or troubleshoot display issues. Sample SQL patterns include retrieving all sections for a specific context or finding the root section of a microsite.

  • Find sections by display context: SELECT SECTION_ID, ACCESS_NAME FROM JTF.JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_B WHERE DISPLAY_CONTEXT_ID = <context_id>;
  • Find a microsite's root section: SELECT s.* FROM JTF.JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_B s, JTF.JTF_MSITES_B m WHERE m.MSITE_ID = <site_id> AND m.MSITE_ROOT_SECTION_ID = s.SECTION_ID;
  • Find child sections for a parent: SELECT child.* FROM JTF.JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_B parent, JTF.JTF_DSP_MSITE_SCT_SECTS rel, JTF.JTF_DSP_SECTIONS_B child WHERE parent.SECTION_ID = <parent_id> AND parent.SECTION_ID = rel.PARENT_SECTION_ID AND rel.CHILD_SECTION_ID = child.SECTION_ID;
