Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) contains a wide range of data categories, each serving different purposes within the system. Recognizing these types helps in managing, optimizing, and archiving your data effectively.
1. Transient Data
This data is short-lived and typically used for intermediate processing. It includes:
-
Interface tables
-
Temporary tables
-
Working storage used during concurrent processing
2. System Audit and Diagnostic Data
Used primarily for monitoring and auditing purposes, this data supports:
-
User login tracking
-
Concurrent request history
-
Diagnostic logs for performance and troubleshooting
3. Transactional Data
This includes both fiscal and non-fiscal operational data, such as:
-
Invoices, orders, and payments
-
Workflow activities and logs supporting transaction processing
Transactional data tends to represent the highest volume in most EBS environments and is a common target for purging and archiving.
4. Master and Setup Data
This is critical reference and configuration data that drives transaction processing:
-
Suppliers, addresses, inventory items
-
Lookup codes and setup metadata configured by customers
While it can grow large in some instances, Master and Setup data is rarely purged and is typically smaller in size compared to transactional data.
5. Seed Data
Seed data is pre-populated during the initial installation of Oracle EBS and includes:
-
Default configuration
-
Lookup values
-
Standard setup definitions
📌 Data Volume Insights
-
Transactional data typically dominates in volume and is a primary candidate for performance tuning, archiving, or purging strategies.
-
Transient and audit data follow closely in volume and retention sensitivity.
-
Master, Setup, and Seed data, while essential, are generally more static and less suited for bulk deletion.
Understanding these classifications enables better data lifecycle management, performance tuning, and compliance planning in Oracle E-Business Suite environments.
