The IGS_PE_USR_ARG_ALL table is a critical component within Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, specifically designed to support the functionality of the Oracle Identity Governance (OIG) module, which is part of the Oracle Identity Management suite. This table plays a pivotal role in managing user attributes and their associated arguments, ensuring seamless integration between Oracle EBS and identity governance frameworks. Below is a detailed analysis of its structure, purpose, and significance in the Oracle EBS ecosystem.

Table Overview

The IGS_PE_USR_ARG_ALL table stores user-specific arguments and attributes that are utilized by Oracle Identity Governance for user provisioning, role assignments, and access control. It acts as a repository for metadata and configuration parameters tied to user identities, enabling dynamic governance policies and workflows. The table is part of the IGS (Identity Governance Services) schema, which is integral to Oracle's identity management solutions.

Key Columns and Structure

The table comprises several columns, each serving a distinct purpose in identity governance:

  • USR_ARG_ID: A unique identifier for each user argument record, serving as the primary key.
  • USER_GUID: References the globally unique identifier (GUID) of the user in the system, linking to the FND_USER or PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F tables.
  • ARG_NAME: Specifies the name of the argument or attribute (e.g., "Department," "Role," or "Access Level").
  • ARG_VALUE: Stores the value associated with the argument, such as "Finance" for a department or "Admin" for a role.
  • CREATION_DATE and LAST_UPDATE_DATE: Track record creation and modification timestamps for auditing.
  • CREATED_BY and LAST_UPDATED_BY: Capture the user IDs responsible for creating or updating the record.

Functional Role in Oracle EBS

In Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, the IGS_PE_USR_ARG_ALL table facilitates:

  • User Provisioning: Stores attributes required for automated user onboarding, such as default roles or access profiles.
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Holds arguments defining user roles and permissions, enabling dynamic access policies.
  • Integration with OIG: Serves as a bridge between Oracle EBS and Oracle Identity Governance, ensuring consistency in user attributes across systems.
  • Audit and Compliance: Tracks changes to user arguments, supporting compliance with regulatory requirements like SOX or GDPR.

Technical Considerations

The table is designed for high performance and scalability, with indexes on USR_ARG_ID and USER_GUID to optimize queries. It supports multi-org configurations through the _ALL suffix, allowing data segregation by operating unit. Customizations or extensions to this table should be approached cautiously, as modifications may impact OIG workflows and EBS integrations.

Conclusion

The IGS_PE_USR_ARG_ALL table is a foundational element in Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, enabling robust identity governance and access management. Its structured design and integration capabilities ensure efficient user attribute management, making it indispensable for organizations leveraging Oracle's identity solutions. Understanding its schema and functionality is essential for administrators and developers working with Oracle EBS and OIG.
