Overview

The view IGS_AD_TEST_SEGS_INT is a critical data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Student System (IGS), specifically designed for the Admissions module. It serves as an interface view for standardized test score segment data during the application import process. In releases 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, this view provides a structured representation of data from its underlying base table, IGS_AD_TEST_SEGS_INT_ALL, which temporarily holds incoming test segment details before they are validated and processed into the core transactional tables of the system. Its primary role is to facilitate the batch loading and integration of detailed test performance metrics, such as scores for specific sections (e.g., Math, Verbal) of an admissions exam, which are essential for holistic applicant evaluation.

Key Information Stored

The view consolidates columns essential for tracking, validating, and processing test segment scores. Key data points include the actual TEST_SCORE, which is the numeric result for a specific test segment, and identifiers like ADMISSION_TEST_TYPE and TEST_SEGMENT_ID to classify the exam and its subsection. The view stores various percentile rankings (PERCENTILE, NATIONAL_PERCENTILE, STATE_PERCENTILE) for comparative analysis and score band boundaries (SCORE_BAND_LOWER, SCORE_BAND_UPPER). Crucially, it includes interface processing control columns such as INTERFACE_TESTSEGS_ID (the primary key), INTERFACE_TEST_ID (linking to the parent test interface record), STATUS, and ERROR_CODE to manage the data conversion workflow. Standard EBS audit columns (CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATE_DATE) and Multi-Org context (ORG_ID) are also present.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case involves monitoring and troubleshooting the interface process for incoming applicant test data. Common operational queries include identifying records that failed validation for data cleansing and reviewing scores for a specific test type. For instance, a query to check for pending or error records would filter on the STATUS column. Reporting use cases often involve aggregating imported scores by test segment or percentile band for admissions trend analysis before the data is fully processed into the production tables.

• Identifying interface errors: SELECT * FROM IGS_AD_TEST_SEGS_INT WHERE STATUS = 'ERROR';
• Reviewing scores for a specific test segment: SELECT INTERFACE_TEST_ID, TEST_SCORE, PERCENTILE FROM IGS_AD_TEST_SEGS_INT WHERE TEST_SEGMENT_ID = 'MATH' AND ADMISSION_TEST_TYPE = 'SAT' ORDER BY TEST_SCORE DESC;

Related Objects

This interface view is intrinsically linked to its base table, IGS_AD_TEST_SEGS_INT_ALL, from which it selects all columns. It has a direct relationship with the parent test interface table, likely named IGS_AD_TEST_INT_ALL, via the INTERFACE_TEST_ID column. Upon successful validation, data from this interface is processed into the core transactional tables of the Admissions module, such as IGS_AD_TEST_SEGS (the production table for test segments). The view's data flow is typically managed by concurrent programs or APIs within the IGS product family responsible for the "Test Score Import" or "Application Import" processes.
