KDLV_PACKAGES_INT

The KDLV_PACKAGES_INT interface table is used to define header information for each new package. This interface table stores package header information for new packages to be generated. This includes information such as package number, priority, project name, and description. This table also holds columns to import user data information (custom fields attached to the packages).

Table A-21. KDLV_PACKAGES_INT interface table

Column

Usage

Data Type

Description

DATA_LANG

I

VARCHAR2

Specifies the language of the data being imported, so it can be properly validated in the respective language.

If no value is provided, then the language context is the same as the system language of the PPM instance into which the data is being imported.

PACKAGE_INTERFACE_ID

I

NUMBER

Provides a unique identifier for the each record.

Derived from the KDLV_INTERFACES_S sequence.

For lines tied to a new package, this can be used to tie the line record to the parent record in KDLV_PACKAGES_INT. The PACKAGE_NUMBER and PACKAGE_ID columns can be used for this tie as well.

This is required if package lines exist. For new lines, this should be left blank.

GROUP_ID

I

NUMBER

Groups all the records that should be processed at the same time.

Use only one GROUP_ID each time you run a report.

Derived from the KNTA_INTERFACE_GROUPS_S sequence.

PROCESS_PHASE

O

NUMBER

Indicates the current stage of the record as it is being processed.

See Process State Information for details.

PROCESS_STATUS

O

NUMBER

Indicates the current disposition of the record.

See Process State Information for details.

CREATED_BY

I/O

NUMBER

Identifies the USER_ID (from KNTA_USERS) for the user performing the transaction.

If left blank, the value is derived from CREATED_BY_USERNAME.

If both are left blank, the value is set to the user currently running the report.

CREATED_BY_USERNAME

I

VARCHAR2

Identifies the USERNAME (from KNTA_USERS) for the user performing the transaction.

This is used only if CREATED_BY is left blank.

CREATION_DATE

I/O

DATE

Indicates the transaction date.

SOURCE_CODE

I

VARCHAR2

Provides the identify of the source of the record.

This value is not validated and is for informational purposes only.

PACKAGE_ID

I

NUMBER

Provides an identifier for a package and makes the association between the package and package lines.

Derived from the KDLV_PACKAGES_S sequence.

For lines tied to a new package, this column can be used to tie the line record to the parent record in KDLV_PACKAGES_INT. Either PACKAGE_INTERFACE_ID and PACKAGE_NUMBER can be used to tie the records.

For new lines to be imported into existing packages, this column should refer to the PACKAGE_ID of the existing package.

REQUESTED_BY

I

NUMBER

Identifies the USER_ID (from KNTA_USERS) for the user requesting the package.

If left blank, the value is derived from REQUESTED_BY_USERNAME.

If both are left blank, the value is set to the user currently running the report.

REQUESTED_BY_USERNAME

I

VARCHAR2

Identifies the USERNAME (from KNTA_USERS) of the user requesting the package.

This is used only if REQUESTED_BY is left blank.

PACKAGE_NUMBER

I

VARCHAR2

Identifies the package number.

This must use either the same value as PACKAGE_ID or a unique string.

ASSIGNED_TO_USER_ID

I/O

NUMBER

Specifies the USER_ID (from KNTA_USERS) that should initially be assigned the request.

If left blank, the value is derived from ASSIGNED_TO_USERNAME.

If both are left blank, the package will not have an initial value.

ASSIGNED_TO_USERNAME

I

VARCHAR2

Specifies the USERNAME (from KNTA_USERS) that should initially be assigned the request.

This is used only if ASSIGNED_TO_USER_ID is left blank.

ASSIGNED_TO_GROUP_ID

I/O

NUMBER

Specifies the SECURITY_GROUP_ID (from KNTA_SECURITY_GROUPS) that should initially be assigned to the package.

If left blank, this value is derived from ASSIGNED_TO_GROUP_NAME.

If both are left blank, the package will not have an initial value.

ASSIGNED_TO_GROUP_NAME

I

VARCHAR2

Specifies the SECURITY_GROUP_ID (from KNTA_SECURITY_GROUPS) that should initially be assigned the package.

This is used only if ASSIGNED_TO_GROUP_ID is left blank.

DESCRIPTION

I

VARCHAR2

Specifies a user-visible description of the package.

PACKAGE_TYPE_CODE

I

VARCHAR2

Provides a user-defined categorization of the package.

Must be a valid LOOKUP_CODE from KNTA_LOOKUPS where LOOKUP_TYPE = 'PACKAGE_TYPE'.

PRIORITY_CODE
