EGO_ITM_USR_ATTR_INTRFC EGO_MTL_SY_ITEMS_EXT_... FND_DESCR_FLEX_COLUMN_USAGES

Interface table for user defined attributes. EGO_MTL_SY_ITEMS_EXT_B Attribute definition.

Base table that holds values for attributes
Processed Flag User Defined Attribute values / One row of user defined REQUIRED_FLAG = N / No
PROCESS_STATUS = 3 / Scheduled attribute data. Special that has partitions. Also have REQUIRED_FLAG = Y / Yes
multiple rows depending on need to accommodate more
PROCESS_STATUS = 4 / Processed attributes. Translations are stored in APPLICATION_COLUMN_NAME = C_EXT_ATTR## / Character
EGO_MTL_SY_ITEMS_EXT_TL that contain long name of user APPLICATION_COLUMN_NAME = N_EXT_ATTR## / Number
Transaction Types defined attributes. APPLICATION_COLUMN_NAME = D_EXT_ATTR## / Date
TRANSACTION_TYPE = CREATE / Create new APPLICATION_COLUMN_NAME = TL_EXT_ATTR## / Translatable
Includes columns for character, numeric and date
TRANSACTION_TYPE = UPDATE / Update existing
attributes:
TRANSACTION_TYPE = SYNC / Update existing or create if C_EXT_ATTR## / Character
does not exist N_EXT_ATTR## / Number
D_EXT_ATTR## / Date

EGO_MTL_SY_ITEMS_EXT_TL
This has translated values. Translations allow up to 1000
characters: TL_EXT_ATTR## / Translatable

 Programs

EGOIJAVA
Program: EGO Spreadsheet Java Concurrent Program
This is the program that imports the item/attribute data from Excel.

Performance
1. When debugging performance issues, you would want to enable trace using the concurrent program.
You do this via concurrent > programs > define.
Query the program: EGO Spreadsheet Java Concurrent Program
Set Trace = Y.
See Note 463444.1 Troubleshooting PLM
2. Correct Trace File?
The trace file might show something like the following where it mentions "EGOIJAVA":
=====================
PARSING IN CURSOR #49 len=272 dep=1 uid=47 oct=3 lid=47 tim=1243761040532882 hv=2384391842 ad='623c2358‘

CONC_OPT_MODE= : CONC_PROG_EXE=EGOIJAVA: CONC_PROG_NAME=EGO Spreadsheet Java Concurrent Program: RESPONSIBILITY=Development
Manager: APPL_NAME=EGO' FROM DUAL

EGOICI
Program:
Similar to the EGOIJAVA, the EGOICI also imports item data.
Here is a list of some of the objects used by the EGOICI program. There are a number of flows but this highlights some of the objects used.
The EGOICI (EgoImportItemsJCP.java) calls > runProgram (uses EgoIntfAM.xml)
1. The program EgoIntfAMImpl.java calls > ..processIntf that calls > ..processImport that calls > ..callItemsProgram
that calls > EGO_ITEM_OPEN_INTERFACE_PVT.item_open_interface_process (EGOPOPIB.pls) that calls > INVPOPIF.inopinp_open_interface_process (INVPOPIB.pls)
2. Also the program EgoIntfAMImpl.java calls > ..propagateItemNumberToChildEntities that calls > EGO_IMPORT_UTIL_PVT.Propagate_Item_Num_To_Child (EGOVIMUB.pls)
that calls > EGO_IMPORT_UTIL_PVT.Propagate_Item_Num_To_Child (EGOVIMUB.pls) that calls > UPDATE MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE
that calls > EGO_IMPORT_UTIL_PVT.Propagate_Item_Num_To_Child (EGOVIMUB.pls) that calls > EGO_USER_ATTRS_BULK_PVT (EGOVBUAB.pls)
