Overview

The PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_TYPE_TL table is a translation table within the Oracle E-Business Suite Partner Management (PV) module. Its primary function is to store language-specific, translatable descriptions for partner program types. This table supports the multi-language capabilities of Oracle EBS, allowing the same core program type definition (stored in its base table) to be presented in different languages based on a user's session settings. It is a critical component for enabling global partner channel management by ensuring that program classifications and descriptions are accurately localized.

Key Information Stored

The table stores translated text for partner program type records. While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the structure of a standard EBS translation table dictates the presence of several key columns. The documented primary key, PROGRAM_TYPE_ID, is the foreign key linking each translation row to its corresponding master record in the base table. A standard translation table also includes a LANGUAGE column (typically holding values like 'US' for American English) and an SOURCE_LANG column to denote the original language of the translatable data. The core translatable content, such as the PROGRAM_TYPE_NAME or DESCRIPTION, is stored in one or more VARCHAR2 columns. The primary key for a translation table is typically a composite of the foreign key ID (PROGRAM_TYPE_ID) and the LANGUAGE column.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily accessed indirectly through the application's user interface, which automatically queries the appropriate translation based on the user's session language. For reporting and data extraction, it is essential to join this table with its base table to retrieve human-readable descriptions. A common query pattern involves filtering by the session language to get the correct translation for a list of program types.

  • Retrieving Translated Program Types for a Report:
    SELECT b.PROGRAM_TYPE_CODE, tl.PROGRAM_TYPE_NAME
    FROM PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_TYPE_B b,
         PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_TYPE_TL tl
    WHERE b.PROGRAM_TYPE_ID = tl.PROGRAM_TYPE_ID
    AND tl.LANGUAGE = userenv('LANG')
    ORDER BY tl.PROGRAM_TYPE_NAME;
  • Data Migration/Setup: When loading new partner program types, data must be inserted into both the base (B) table and the translation (TL) table for each supported language.

Related Objects

The table has a direct and fundamental relationship with its corresponding base table, as documented in the provided metadata.

  • PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_TYPE_B: This is the base table that stores the non-translatable, core attributes of a partner program type (e.g., CODE, START_DATE_ACTIVE). The TL table references it via a foreign key constraint where PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_TYPE_TL.PROGRAM_TYPE_ID references a primary key column in PV_PARTNER_PROGRAM_TYPE_B. All translations are child records of a single master record in this base table.
  • Standard EBS forms and views for the Partner Program Type entity will inherently depend on this translation table to display localized data.
