Overview

The IGS_RU_CALL table is a core reference table within the Oracle E-Business Suite Student System (IGS) module. It serves as the master repository for rule call names, which are unique identifiers for specific business rules or rule sets defined within the application. These rule calls are central to the system's rule engine, enabling the configuration and execution of complex, institution-specific logic governing academic processes. The table's primary role is to provide a standardized lookup mechanism, ensuring consistency when rules are referenced across various functional areas such as program enrollment, course progression, unit set management, and fee assessment.

Key Information Stored

Based on the provided metadata, the table's structure is defined by its primary and foreign key relationships. The primary key is the column S_RULE_CALL_CD, which stores the unique code for each rule call name. The table maintains two critical foreign key relationships to other rule definition tables: one to IGS_RU_DESCRIPTION via the RUD_SEQUENCE_NUMBER column, linking the call to its descriptive text, and another to IGS_RU_GROUP via both the RUG_SEQUENCE_NUMBER and SELECT_GROUP columns, associating the call with a logical grouping of rules. These relationships position IGS_RU_CALL as a pivotal junction between a rule's identifier, its human-readable description, and its functional grouping.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily used in administrative and technical contexts for rule management and troubleshooting. A common use case is identifying all the functional areas where a specific rule call is applied. A typical query would join IGS_RU_CALL to its many referenced tables to audit rule usage. For example, to find all program version rules using a specific call code:

  • SELECT psver.s_rule_call_cd, psver.* FROM igs_ps_ver_rv psver WHERE psver.s_rule_call_cd = '&RULE_CALL_CODE';

Another frequent scenario involves generating a list of all defined rule calls along with their descriptions for setup or reporting purposes:

  • SELECT rc.s_rule_call_cd, rd.description FROM igs_ru_call rc, igs_ru_description rd WHERE rc.rud_sequence_number = rd.rud_sequence_number;

Related Objects

The IGS_RU_CALL table is a fundamental parent table referenced by numerous other objects across the Student System, as indicated by its extensive foreign key relationships. Key dependent tables include:

It is directly linked to the rule definition master tables IGS_RU_DESCRIPTION and IGS_RU_GROUP.
