Overview
APPS.CS_KNOWLEDGE_AUDIT_PVT is a private (PVT) PL/SQL package in the Oracle E-Business Suite Applications schema that underpins the knowledge management and Solutions functionality of Oracle Service (CS). It is not a public API; the "PVT" classification indicates it is intended for internal consumption by other CS knowledge packages rather than for direct customer invocation. Its documented role is to manage the structural and lifecycle integrity of knowledge "elements," "sets," and their associations — that is, the atomic pieces of knowledge content (elements) and the groupings (sets) into which they are organized, published, and eventually obsoleteed.
The package provides the audit and validation logic that keeps the knowledge base internally consistent. It validates element types, controls which elements may be added to or removed from a set, manages element ordering, and governs the transition of draft or published solution statements into an obsolete state. It is a foundational component of the CS Knowledge (CS_KB) subsystem.
Key Procedures and Functions
The package exposes 54 documented procedures and functions. Representative members include:
- IS_ELEMENT_UPDATABLE — determines whether a given knowledge element may be modified, protecting published or locked content.
- GET_MISSING_ELE_TYPE — identifies an element type that is absent or unassigned, supporting validation routines.
- GET_WHO and DECRYPT — audit/identity helpers and decryption routines used to record or resolve the acting user context.
- IS_SET_ELE_TYPE_VALID and the
VALIDATE_SET_TYPE_NAME_*functions — validate that element types and set type names conform to defined rules before create/update. - ADD_ELEMENT_TO_SET and DEL_ELEMENT_FROM_SET — manage membership of elements within a set.
- CREATE_ELEMENT_AND_LINK_TO_SET — creates an element and associates it in a single operation.
- SORT_ELEMENT_ORDER — establishes the sequence of elements within a set.
- AUTO_OBSOLETE_DRAFT_STMTS, AUTO_OBSOLETE_FOR_SOLUTION_PUB, AUTO_OBSOLETE_FOR_SOLUTION_OBS, IS_PUB_ELEMENT_OBSOLETABLE, and OBS_ELMT_STATUS_WITH_CHECK — implement the automatic obsolescence rules for draft statements and for elements tied to published or obsolete solutions.
- TRANSFER_NOTE_TO_ELEMENT — moves note content into a knowledge element.
- GET_CONCATENATED_ELMT_DETAILS — assembles concatenated element detail text.
- CREATE_SET_WITH_VALIDATION and UPDATE_SET_WITH_VALIDATION — create or update knowledge sets with full validation.
Tables Accessed
The package reads and writes the CS_KB family of tables through APPS synonyms, including CS_KB_ELEMENTS_B and CS_KB_ELEMENTS_TL (element base and translation), CS_KB_ELEMENT_TYPES_B and CS_KB_ELEMENT_TYPES_TL (element type definitions), CS_KB_SETS_B, CS_KB_SETS_TL, CS_KB_SET_CATEGORIES, CS_KB_SET_ELES, CS_KB_SET_ELE_TYPES, CS_KB_SET_LINKS, CS_KB_SET_PLATFORMS, CS_KB_SET_PRODUCTS, CS_KB_SET_TYPES_TL, CS_KB_SET_USED_HISTS, and CS_KB_SOLN_CATEGORIES_B. These store element content, set membership, set-to-product/platform links, and usage history.
Usage Notes
This private package is invoked by other CS knowledge packages, notably CS_KB_CONC_PROG_PKG (the concurrent program driver) and CS_KB_SOLUTION_PVT, and it is self-referenced. It is typically triggered indirectly through the Knowledge Management forms and through batch concurrent programs that publish, update, or obsolete knowledge sets and solutions. It depends on CS_KNOWLEDGE_PUB, FND_API, and the JTF_NUMBER_TABLE / JTF_VARCHAR2_TABLE_2000 collections. Customizations should call public APIs rather than this PVT package directly.
