Overview

The table IGS_DA_OUT_SPCL_REQ is a data storage entity within the Oracle E-Business Suite, specifically architected for the now-obsolete Student System (IGS) module. Its primary function is to serve as a repository for "outgoing special requirements" identified for a student during a Degree Audit request process. A Degree Audit is a systematic review of a student's academic progress against the requirements of a specific program. This table captures ancillary or exceptional conditions—special requirements—that were flagged as part of that audit but are intended for external communication or processing. The metadata explicitly notes this table was "Not implemented in this database," indicating it may have been part of a defined data model that was not fully deployed in standard installations, representing a legacy or planned component.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to uniquely associate special requirement records with a specific student and audit request batch. The primary key is a composite of three columns, ensuring uniqueness for each special requirement entry per student per batch. The critical columns include BATCH_ID, which links to the overarching degree audit request batch; PERSON_ID, which identifies the student; and SPEC_REQ_SEQ_NUM, a sequence number that differentiates between multiple special requirements for the same student within the same batch. While the excerpt does not list other attribute columns, typical data would include details describing the nature of the special requirement, its status, and potentially a code or classification.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The central use case revolves around reporting and extracting special requirements generated from degree audits. In a functional implementation, processes or reports would query this table to list all outstanding conditions for students who have undergone an audit. A typical query would join to the student master and batch tables to produce a readable report. For example, an administrator might run a query to find all special requirements for a given audit batch to compile communication for academic advisors. Given the "outgoing" nature of the data, integration scenarios where this data feeds into external advising or compliance systems are also plausible. Sample SQL would focus on selecting records by BATCH_ID or PERSON_ID and ordering by SPEC_REQ_SEQ_NUM.

Related Objects

This table maintains a direct foreign key relationship, which is crucial for its integrity and context. It is a child table dependent on IGS_DA_REQ_STDNTS, which likely stores the core record of a student's inclusion in a degree audit request batch.

• Primary Key: IGS_DA_OUT_SPCL_REQ_PK (BATCH_ID, PERSON_ID, SPEC_REQ_SEQ_NUM)
• Foreign Key (References IGS_DA_REQ_STDNTS): The table IGS_DA_OUT_SPCL_REQ joins to IGS_DA_REQ_STDNTS using the composite key of BATCH_ID and PERSON_ID. This ensures every special requirement record is anchored to a valid student audit request.
