Overview

The table IGS_RC_I_PKG_ITEM is a junction table within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Release 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It is a core component of the now-obsolete IGS (Student System) module, specifically designed to manage relationships within the recruitment and admissions functionality. Its primary role is to serve as a nexus between Oracle Marketing Online (OMO) deliverables and the information requirements defined for inquiry packages. By linking package items to specific information types, this table enables the structured collection and management of data from prospective students during the recruitment process. The metadata explicitly notes it is "Not implemented in this database," indicating it may be a legacy or reference object in standard deployments, but its defined structure is critical for understanding historical data relationships in upgraded environments.

Key Information Stored

Based on the provided ETRM documentation, the table's structure is defined primarily by its key relationships rather than a detailed column list. The central column is PACKAGE_ITEM_ID, which serves as the table's primary key. This identifier uniquely defines each record, representing a specific package item that is linked to an information type. While other columns are not enumerated in the excerpt, the table's description as a "junction table" implies it likely contains at least a foreign key column for the associated information type (INFO_TYPE_ID). The PACKAGE_ITEM_ID itself is a foreign key referencing the AMS_DELIVERABLES_ALL_B table, anchoring the package item within the broader OMO deliverables framework.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table supports operations related to configuring and tracking the data requirements for recruitment packages. A primary use case is determining which specific information types (e.g., address, academic history, test scores) are mandated for a given inquiry package item. Administrators could query this table to audit or generate reports on package configurations. A typical SQL query would join IGS_RC_I_PKG_ITEM to related tables to list all information requirements for a package. For example:

  • Identifying all information types linked to a specific package item: SELECT info_type_id FROM igs_rc_i_pkg_item WHERE package_item_id = :p_item_id;
  • Reporting on the complete structure of package items and their linked OMO deliverables and information types, involving joins to AMS_DELIVERABLES_ALL_B and IGS_RC_I_A_ITYPE.

Its role as a junction point makes it essential for any data integrity validation or migration scripts involving legacy student recruitment data.

Related Objects

The IGS_RC_I_PKG_ITEM table is central to a network of foreign key relationships within the obsolete Student System module, as documented in the ETRM.

  • Referenced Foreign Key: The table's PACKAGE_ITEM_ID column references AMS_DELIVERABLES_ALL_B, linking the recruitment package item to the Oracle Marketing foundation.
  • Referencing Foreign Keys: Four key tables use IGS_RC_I_PKG_ITEM as a parent:
    • IGS_RC_IS_INFO_REQ links via PACKAGE_ITEM_ID, likely storing specific information requests against package items.
    • IGS_RC_I_A_ITYPE links via INFO_TYPE_ID, associating information types with their attributes.
    • IGS_RC_I_A_PKGITM links via PACKAGE_ITEM_ID, likely storing attributes for the package items themselves.
    • IGS_RC_I_PKG_REDUCT links via PACKAGE_ITEM_ID, potentially managing rules for reducing or waiving package requirements.

These relationships underscore the table's function as a critical hub connecting OMO deliverables, information type definitions, and their specific application and rules within the inquiry process.
