Overview

The RG_DSS_SEG_RANGES table is a core data structure within the Application Report Generator (RG) module of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It serves as the repository for defining individual segment ranges that constitute the building blocks of data filters. These filters are essential for generating and constraining reports, particularly within the Financial Statement Generator (FSG) and other reporting components. The table's primary role is to store the low and high values for specific accounting flexfield segments, enabling users to define precise data sets for financial reporting and analysis. Its existence is critical for the dynamic and flexible report definition capabilities that characterize the RG module.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to capture the boundaries of a segment range. While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the documented primary and foreign keys reveal its essential framework. The RANGE_ID column acts as the unique primary key identifier for each discrete range record. The RANGE_SET_ID is a critical foreign key that links each range to its parent definition in the RG_DSS_SEG_RANGE_SETS table, grouping multiple ranges into a cohesive set. Typically, such a table would also contain columns to store the LOW_VALUE and HIGH_VALUE for the segment range, along with a SEGMENT_NUM or similar column to identify which specific segment of the accounting flexfield (e.g., Company, Cost Center, Account) the range applies to.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily accessed during the runtime execution of FSG reports and other Application Report Generator outputs. A common operational query involves retrieving all segment ranges for a specific filter set to apply data constraints. For instance, to audit the ranges defined within a known range set, a developer or analyst might execute:

  • SELECT range_id, segment_num, low_value, high_value FROM rg.rg_dss_seg_ranges WHERE range_set_id = <ID> ORDER BY segment_num, low_value;

Another key use case is troubleshooting report output, where unexpected data inclusion or exclusion can often be traced to the boundary values stored in this table. System administrators may also query this table to understand dependencies before modifying or purging obsolete range set definitions.

Related Objects

The RG_DSS_SEG_RANGES table has a direct and fundamental relationship with the RG_DSS_SEG_RANGE_SETS table, as documented in the provided metadata. The relationship is enforced by a foreign key constraint where RG_DSS_SEG_RANGES.RANGE_SET_ID references RG_DSS_SEG_RANGE_SETS. This means a range set can contain multiple segment ranges, but each segment range belongs to exactly one range set. This range set is then typically referenced by higher-level report objects, such as row sets, column sets, or content sets within the FSG architecture. Consequently, RG_DSS_SEG_RANGES is a foundational table in a hierarchy that supports complex financial report definitions.
