DeepSeek eTRM - FND Tables and Views in Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2

The DeepSeek eTRM (Electronic Technical Reference Manual) provides a comprehensive repository of technical metadata for Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), including detailed documentation on FND (Foundation) tables and views. In Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, the FND module serves as the core layer, managing application infrastructure, security, and system administration. Understanding FND tables and views is critical for customization, reporting, and troubleshooting in Oracle EBS implementations.

Overview of FND Tables and Views

The FND module contains hundreds of tables and views that store metadata, configuration, and runtime data for Oracle Applications. These objects are categorized into functional areas such as:

  • Application Object Library (FND_APPLICATION, FND_FORM_FUNCTIONS)
  • User Management (FND_USER, FND_RESPONSIBILITY)
  • Concurrent Processing (FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS, FND_CP_SERVICES)
  • Profile Options (FND_PROFILE_OPTIONS, FND_PROFILE_OPTION_VALUES)
  • Messages and Lookups (FND_MESSAGES, FND_LOOKUP_TYPES)

Key FND Tables in Oracle EBS

Some of the most frequently referenced FND tables include:

  • FND_APPLICATION - Stores registered applications in the EBS environment
  • FND_USER - Contains all user accounts with authentication details
  • FND_RESPONSIBILITY - Defines responsibilities and their associated menus
  • FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS - Tracks all concurrent program executions
  • FND_PROFILE_OPTIONS - Maintains system-wide profile options
  • FND_LOOKUP_TYPES - Stores definitions of lookup types used throughout the system

Important FND Views

Oracle provides views that simplify access to FND data:

  • FND_USERS_VL - Enhanced user information with descriptive fields
  • FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL - Responsibility data with translated descriptions
  • FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS_VL - Concurrent request information with status details
  • FND_PROFILE_OPTIONS_VL - Profile options with user-friendly descriptions

DeepSeek eTRM Features for FND Objects

The DeepSeek eTRM provides:

  • Complete data dictionary information including column definitions
  • Primary and foreign key relationships between FND tables
  • Index information for performance tuning
  • Dependencies between FND objects and other EBS modules
  • Sample queries for common reporting requirements

Technical Considerations

When working with FND tables and views:

  • Direct DML operations should be avoided - use APIs whenever possible
  • Customizations should be implemented through the Oracle Application Framework
  • Views with _VL suffix contain translated data based on the current session language
  • Performance can be impacted when querying large FND tables like FND_LOG_MESSAGES

The DeepSeek eTRM serves as an invaluable resource for technical consultants and developers working with Oracle EBS, providing the detailed metadata needed to properly understand and utilize the FND foundation layer in both 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 implementations.
