Overview

AK_REGION_LOV_RELATIONS_V is a reporting and integration view owned by the APPS schema in Oracle E-Business Suite, classified under the AK (Common Modules-AK) product family. Its purpose is to expose the relationships that define how a List of Values (LOV) region is bound to a target region and attribute within the Oracle Application Framework (OAF) / AK metadata model. In EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, AK provides the shared declarative infrastructure used across many application modules to describe pages, regions, items, and LOV behavior. This view presents a denormalized, human-readable projection of that metadata, resolving internal numeric application IDs and attribute codes into the corresponding application names, region names, attribute names, and item names.

Because the view joins the underlying relations table to multiple AK region and region-item views, it is the preferred access point for developers, support analysts, and reporting tools that need to understand LOV wiring without manually decoding the raw ID-based columns of the base table.

Underlying Base Objects

The view text selects from the following documented base objects:

• AK_REGION_LOV_RELATIONS (SYNONYM, aliased ALR1) — the core table holding the LOV-to-region relationship definitions, including region, attribute, LOV region, base region, base attribute, direction, and required flags.
• AK_REGIONS_VL (VIEW) — referenced three times (ARV1, ARV2, ARV3) to resolve the region application name and region name for the primary region, the LOV region, and the base region respectively.
• AK_REGION_ITEMS_VL (VIEW) — referenced three times (ARI1, ARI2, ARI3) to resolve the attribute and item names for the primary attribute, the LOV attribute, and the base attribute.

The joins are performed on the composite key of REGION_APPLICATION_ID plus REGION_CODE, and on ATTRIBUTE_APPLICATION_ID plus ATTRIBUTE_CODE, ensuring that each relationship row is enriched with descriptive names rather than internal identifiers. Because AK_REGIONS_VL and AK_REGION_ITEMS_VL are themselves views, the object is effectively a layered metadata query over the AK repository.

Key Columns

The columns fall into distinct functional groups:

• Primary region and attribute: REGION_APPLICATION_ID, REGION_APPLICATION_NAME, REGION_CODE, REGION_NAME, ATTRIBUTE_APPLICATION_ID, ATTRIBUTE_CODE, ATTRIBUTE_NAME, ITEM_NAME.
• LOV definition: LOV_REGION_APPL_ID, LOV_REGION_APPL_NAME, LOV_REGION_CODE, LOV_REGION_NAME, LOV_ATTRIBUTE_APPL_ID, LOV_ATTRIBUTE_CODE, LOV_ATTRIBUTE_NAME, LOV_ITEM_NAME.
• Base definition: BASE_REGION_APPL_ID, BASE_REGION_CODE, BASE_REGION_NAME, BASE_ATTRIBUTE_APPL_ID, BASE_ATTRIBUTE_CODE, BASE_ATTRIBUTE_NAME, BASE_ITEM_NAME. This is the group that contains the BASE_ATTRIBUTE_NAME column frequently sought by users searching for base_attribute_name.
• Control and audit: DIRECTION_FLAG, REQUIRED_FLAG, ROW_ID, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, CREATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN.

The DIRECTION_FLAG and REQUIRED_FLAG drive runtime LOV behavior, while BASE_ATTRIBUTE_NAME identifies the source attribute whose values populate the LOV.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Typical scenarios include auditing LOV configuration, troubleshooting missing or incorrect LOV values, and tracing which base attribute supplies the values displayed in a given region's LOV.

Example — locate a relationship by base attribute name:

SELECT region_name, attribute_name, lov_region_name, lov_attribute_name, base_region_name, base_attribute_name, required_flag FROM apps.ak_region_lov_relations_v WHERE base_attribute_name = :p_base_attr;

Example — list all LOV relationships for a region:

SELECT region_name, attribute_name, lov_region_name, lov_attribute_name, direction_flag FROM apps.ak_region_lov_relations_v WHERE region_code = :p_region_code ORDER BY attribute_name;

These queries return the descriptive names needed for documentation and support analysis, avoiding manual joins across the underlying AK repository.
