About the Application Framework System Tables
System tables are a subset of the tables that must be populated at the time the product is installed.
They include Metadata and configuration tables. The data stored in the system tables are the
information that Oracle Utilities Application Framework product operations are based on.
As the product adds more functionality, the list of system tables can grow. The complete list of the
system tables can be found in the System Table List section.
System Table Standards
System table standards must be observed for the following reasons:
• The product installation and upgrade process and customer modification data extract
processes depend on the data prefix and owner flag values to determine the system data
owned by each product.
• The standards ensure that there will be no data conflict in the product being developed and
the future Oracle Utilities Application Framework release.
• The standards ensure that there will be no data conflict between customer modifications and
future Oracle Utilities product releases.
• The data prefix is used to prevent test data from being released to production.
Developer's Note: All test data added to the system data tables must be
prefixed by ZZ (all upper case) in order for the installation and upgrade utility
to recognize them as test data.
