Overview

The table IGS_AS_EXM_SES_VN_SP is a data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Student System (IGS) module, which is documented as obsolete. Its core function is to establish and manage the assignment of examination supervisors to specific venues for scheduled examination sessions. This table acts as a junction entity, linking the supervisor, the examination session, and the physical venue to ensure proper logistical oversight during examinations. It is a critical component for administering the examination process, though its implementation status is noted as "Not implemented in this database" in the provided metadata, indicating it may be a legacy or planned structure in the referenced EBS versions (12.1.1 / 12.2.2).

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is defined by a composite primary key and several foreign keys. The primary key uniquely identifies a supervisor's assignment for a specific session at a specific venue and time. Important columns include:

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table supports operational reporting and validation for examination logistics. A common use case is generating a supervisor schedule or roster for a given examination period to ensure all venues are adequately staffed. Another is validating supervisor assignments against their availability or authorized supervisor types. A typical query would join this table with supervisor and venue details to list all assignments for a specific exam session.

SELECT esp.PERSON_ID, esp.VENUE_CD, esp.START_TIME, esp.END_TIME, esp.EXAM_SUPERVISOR_TYPE
FROM IGS_AS_EXM_SES_VN_SP esp
WHERE esp.EXAM_CAL_TYPE = :p_cal_type
  AND esp.EXAM_CI_SEQUENCE_NUMBER = :p_sequence_num
ORDER BY esp.VENUE_CD, esp.START_TIME;

Administrators might also query to find conflicts, such as a supervisor assigned to multiple venues with overlapping times.

Related Objects

The table maintains defined foreign key relationships with two core supervisor-related tables, as documented in the ETRM metadata:

  • IGS_AS_EXM_SUPRVISOR_ALL: Linked via the PERSON_ID column. This relationship retrieves the detailed personal and employment information for the assigned supervisor.
  • IGS_AS_EXM_SPRVSRTYP: Linked via the EXAM_SUPERVISOR_TYPE column. This relationship provides the valid description and rules associated with the supervisor's role type.

These relationships are essential for enforcing data integrity and enabling comprehensive joins in reports that require supervisor names or role descriptions alongside the session assignment data.
