Modify view object at responsibility level

Question

Hello,
One of our business requirements is to change the drop-down values for several list of values based on the responsibility the user is logged in with. For example when creating a new application, the LOV 'Country' needs to list certain countries under the responsibility A and other countries under the responsibility B.
In order to accomodate this requirement, I have created an extension to the VO oracle.apps.igs.utilities.server.countriesVO that can be found on the create application page. I have tried two different approaches:
Approach 1:
I have modified the SQL code and used the import utility jpximport to enable the substitution and everything works fine EXCEPT that the substitution is done at the site level, not the responsibility level. There are no options to enable the substitution at the responsibility level.
I tried changing the MDS repository. After initial substitution, the query
BEGIN jdr_utils.printDocument('/oracle/apps/igs/utilities/server/customizations/site/0/CountriesVO'); END;
returns the XML for personalization (substitution). I deleted that entry using
BEGIN jdr_utils.deleteDocument('/oracle/apps/igs/utilities/server/customizations/site/0/CountriesVO'); END;
and used the import utility to import the XML at the responsibility level. the query
BEGIN jdr_utils.printDocument('/oracle/apps/igs/utilities/server/customizations/responsibility/23331/CountriesVO'); END;
returns the correct XML but the extension doesnt appear on the screen.
Do you know what I am missing and if it is possible to enable substitutions at the responsibility level (not site level) at all?
Approach 2:
I am still implementing the View Object extension but I am modifying the SQL code to handle the responsibility:
Original SQL Code:
SELECT territory_short_name,territory_code
FROM fnd_territories_vl
Updated SQL Code:
SELECT territory_short_name,territory_code
FROM fnd_territories_vl
WHERE fnd_global.resp_name <> 'A' OR fnd_global.resp_name IS NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT description as territory_short_name,territory_code
FROM fnd_territories_vl
WHERE fnd_global.resp_name = 'B'
ORDER BY 1
I used the import utility jpximport to enable the substitution and everything works fine EXCEPT that the View Object gets cached and the SQL statement is only executed the first time the object is called. If I clear the cache and I log in using the responsibility A then the countries are correctly displayed. If I login using the responsibility B then the countries for responsibility A are displayed. Same occurs if I clear the cache, login using responsibility B first then switch to responsibility A. Countries for responsibility B are always displayed.
We need to find a way for the SQL to be re-executed every time this object is called. This object should not be cached. Is that possible at all?
Thank you for your help

Answer 1

Substitution of VO & AM will can be done only at site level. However controller extension can be personalized/substituted at any level, which includes responsibility level also.
