Overview

JTF_PERZ_PROFILE_PUB is the public application programming interface (API) for the Personalization Profile infrastructure within Oracle E-Business Suite. It belongs to the JTF (Java Technology Foundation) product family whose components underpin the Oracle CRM Technology Foundation, and it operates within the APPLICATION_PUBLIC or APPS schema. The personalization profile subsystem provides a centralized mechanism by which applications and end users define, store, and retrieve named sets of personalization settings. These profiles govern behavioral attributes such as default display preferences, filtered list contents, and runtime configuration that a given user, responsibility, or functional context should observe when interacting with CRM and self-service modules.

The package body carries a status of VALID, confirming that the compiled implementation is present and consistent with its specification in the target instance. The API is classified as PUB, indicating that it constitutes a supported, externally consumable interface intended for invocation by other Oracle application code rather than being an internal-only helper. Its principal role is to encapsulate the create, read, and update lifecycle of personalization profile records so that consuming code does not manipulate the underlying tables directly.

Key Procedures and Functions

The documented public interface exposes three procedures:

  • CREATE_PROFILE — Establishes a new personalization profile definition. It accepts the identifying attributes and content that describe the profile and persists them, returning the resulting profile identifier to the caller. It is the entry point used when a profile does not yet exist.
  • GET_PROFILE — Retrieves an existing profile definition by its identifier or lookup criteria and returns the associated attributes and values to the caller. It serves read-only access and does not mutate state.
  • UPDATE_PROFILE — Modifies the attributes or content of a previously created profile. It validates the supplied values and commits the changes against the existing profile record.

Consistent with Oracle's API design conventions, these procedures delegate transactional and validation work to the companion private package JTF_PERZ_PROFILE_PVT, which is listed among the package body's dependencies. Error handling and message retrieval are routed through FND_MSG_PUB, while FND_API provides the standard API return-status and exception framework.

Tables Accessed

The ETRM metadata for this object does not enumerate the specific base tables it touches; the documented dependency list names only PL/SQL units (FND_API, FND_MSG_PUB, JTF_PERZ_PROFILE_PUB, JTF_PERZ_PROFILE_PVT, and SYS.STANDARD) and records the object as valid. The tables manipulated at runtime are therefore accessed indirectly through the private package layer rather than being referenced directly by the public body. This layering is deliberate: it isolates the persistence model (the JTF personalization profile and related attribute storage) behind the private implementation so that the physical schema can evolve without altering the public contract. Consumers should regard the specific table structures as implementation detail and rely exclusively on the published procedure signatures.

Usage Notes

JTF_PERZ_PROFILE_PUB is not referenced by any other database object, which confirms its position as a top-level API rather than a dependency of the core schema. Nevertheless, it is referenced by 21 other packages, placing it in the widely consumed tier of the JTF personalization layer. Typical invocations arise from CRM application logic, Oracle Forms-based personalization configuration screens, and custom extensions that need to programmatically seed or adjust profile definitions during deployment or data migration. Callers should invoke the API within the standard FND_API error-handling pattern, checking the returned status and extracting messages via FND_MSG_PUB before treating an operation as successful.
