In the Oracle Enterprise Scheduling Services (ESS) world, the mechanism to protect job request information is data security. ESS relies on the Oracle Fusion Data Security technology to implement data security and enforce security authorization for a specific data record or a set of records. Data security provides access control within Oracle Fusion applications on the data a user can access and the actions a user can perform on that data.
An overview of the high level steps involved in securing ESS request data is shown below:
Note: ESS Request History Access Control feature depends on FND_GRANTS, and so depends on FND_SESSION (application session). The application user session is the session that Oracle Fusion Data Security expects to see. Creating a ViewObject using ESS REQUEST HISTORY table will bypass ESS data security, as it is not protected by Virtual Private Database (VPD); and therefore it is strongly discouraged to do so. Moreover, this approach will lead to inconsistent behavior with ESS data security model.
