Overview

The IGS_AS_EXM_LOC_SPVSR table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, specifically in the IGS (Oracle Student Management) product family. It serves a critical administrative function in the examination management process by defining the association between examination supervisors and the specific locations where they are available to proctor exams. This table acts as a junction or intersection entity, resolving the many-to-many relationship between supervisors and examination locations. Its primary role is to maintain a definitive roster of qualified personnel for each exam venue, ensuring proper staffing and logistical planning for assessment events.

Key Information Stored

The table stores a concise set of columns focused on the supervisor-location relationship and standard audit information. The two primary business keys form the table's unique identifier. The PERSON_ID column holds a unique numeric identifier for the supervisor, linking to the broader supervisor master data. The EXAM_LOCATION_CD column stores the alphanumeric code (up to 10 characters) that identifies a specific examination location, such as a building, campus, or city. This code represents a venue where the linked supervisor is authorized and scheduled to work. The remaining columns (CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN) are standard EBS "Who" columns that provide essential audit trails for compliance and data governance, recording who created or last modified each record and when.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to operational reporting and validation processes within the exam scheduling module. A common use case is generating a supervisor availability report for a specific exam period or location. Administrators can query this table to list all supervisors assigned to a particular venue or to verify a specific supervisor's authorized locations before creating an exam schedule. The table is also crucial for ensuring data integrity when scheduling exams, as the system can validate that a supervisor assigned to an exam session is indeed linked to that session's location. A typical query pattern involves joining to the supervisor and location master tables for descriptive information.

  • Find all supervisors for a location: SELECT * FROM igs.igs_as_exm_loc_spvsr WHERE exam_location_cd = '&LOCATION_CODE';
  • List all locations for a supervisor: SELECT exam_location_cd FROM igs.igs_as_exm_loc_spvsr WHERE person_id = &SUPERVISOR_ID;
  • Report with descriptive joins: SELECT spv.person_id, sup.name, spv.exam_location_cd, loc.location_name FROM igs.igs_as_exm_loc_spvsr spv JOIN igs.igs_as_exm_suprvisor_all sup ON spv.person_id = sup.person_id JOIN igs_ad_location_all loc ON spv.exam_location_cd = loc.location_cd;

Related Objects

The IGS_AS_EXM_LOC_SPVSR table maintains defined foreign key relationships with master data tables, ensuring referential integrity. It is a dependent object that references two key parent tables. The PERSON_ID column is a foreign key referencing the IGS_AS_EXM_SUPRVISOR_ALL table, which contains the comprehensive master record for each examination supervisor, including personal and employment details. The EXAM_LOCATION_CD column is a foreign key referencing the IGS_AD_LOCATION_ALL table, the master repository for all physical location definitions within the institution. The table itself is referenced by the APPS synonym IGS_AS_EXM_LOC_SPVSR, which is the standard access point for all application code and queries within the EBS environment, abstracting the underlying schema owner (IGS).
