Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Foundation Tables

This post is simply a list of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Foundation tables. The Foundation tables contain data that relate to the entire suite of applications – they are not specific to any one module.

Some foundation tables are used in Oracle BI Applications (OBIA), for example, the FND_USER, FND_USER_RESP_GROUPS, and FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL tables are used in security-related Initialization Blocks.

In general, it’s good to be familiar with these tables when working on OBIEE projects with EBS as a source system.

Foundation Table	Purpose
FND_APPLICATION	Stores applications registered with Oracle Application Object Library.
FND_APPLICATION_TL	Stores translated information about all the applications registered with Oracle Application Object Library.
FND_APP_SERVERS	This table will track the servers used by the E-Business Suite system.
FND_ATTACHED_DOCUMENTS	Stores information relating a document to an application entity.
FND_CONCURRENT_PROCESSES	Stores information about concurrent managers.
FND_CONCURRENT_PROCESSORS	Stores information about immediate (subroutine) concurrent program libraries.
FND_CONCURRENT_PROGRAMS	Stores information about concurrent programs. Each row includes a name and description of the concurrent program.
FND_CONCURRENT_PROGRAMS_TL	Stores translated information about concurrent programs in each of the installed languages.
FND_CONCURRENT_QUEUES	Stores information about concurrent managers.
FND_CONCURRENT_QUEUE_SIZE	Stores information about the number of requests a concurrent manager can process at once, according to its work shift.
FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS	Stores information about individual concurrent requests.

FND_CONC_REQ_OUTPUTS	This table stores output files created by Concurrent Request.
FND_CURRENCIES	Stores information about currencies.
FND_DATABASES	It tracks the databases employed by the eBusiness suite. This table stores information about the database that is not instance specific.
FND_DATABASE_INSTANCES	Stores instance specific information. Every database has one or more instance.

FND_DESCRIPTIVE_FLEXS_TL	Stores translated setup information about descriptive flexfields.
FND_DOCUMENTS	Stores language-independent information about a document.
FND_EXECUTABLES	Stores information about concurrent program executables.
FND_FLEX_VALUES	Stores valid values for key and descriptive flexfield segments.
FND_FLEX_VALUE_SETS	Stores information about the value sets used by both key and descriptive flexfields.
FND_LANGUAGES	Stores information regarding languages and dialects.
FND_MENUS	It lists the menus that appear in the Navigate Window, as determined by the System Administrator when defining responsibilities for function security.
