Overview

IGS_EN_NSTD_USEC_DL_V is a supplementary view owned by the APPS schema within the Oracle E-Business Suite environment. It is registered in the FND Design Data repository under the identifier IGS.IGS_EN_NSTD_USEC_DL_V and carries a status of VALID. The view is defined with a view type classified as a supplementary view used to simplify forms coding, which means it exists primarily to support the Oracle Forms user interface layer of the Student System (IGS) product family rather than to serve as a general-purpose reporting or integration object.

Functionally, the view exposes information about non-standard unit section enrollment deadline dates. It consolidates identifying keys, deadline date attributes, calculation parameters, and descriptive "meaning" columns so that a form block can display human-readable values without performing its own lookups against reference and lookup tables. Because the view is not intended for direct consumption, Oracle explicitly warns that querying or altering data through it is not recommended and that its definition may change substantially between minor or major releases.

Underlying Base Objects

The documented metadata does not enumerate the base tables over which the view is defined. However, the column set and comments identify two principal dependencies. The NON_STD_USEC_DLS_ID column is documented as a foreign key to IGS_EN_NONSTD_USEC_DLS, which holds the non-standard unit section enrollment deadline setup records. The UOO_ID column is documented as a foreign key to IGS_PS_UNIT_OFR_OPT, the unit offering option table, linking each deadline definition to a specific offering option.

The remaining descriptive columns, such as FUNCTION_NAME_MEANING, DEFINITION_CODE_MEANING, ORG_DESCRIPTION, and OFFSET_DT_MEANING, indicate that the view also joins to lookup and reference entities to resolve code values into display-ready text. The view therefore acts as an aggregation layer that flattens the deadline definition record together with its associated validation and descriptive data.

Key Columns

• ROW_ID – Row identifier for the view, of type ROWID.
• NSTD_USEC_DL_ID – System-generated unique identifier for the non-standard unit section enrollment deadline date record.
• NON_STD_USEC_DLS_ID – Foreign key to IGS_EN_NONSTD_USEC_DLS, the parent deadline setup record.
• UOO_ID – Foreign key to IGS_PS_UNIT_OFR_OPT, tying the deadline to a unit offering option.
• ENR_DL_DATE – The enrollment deadline date itself.
• ENR_DL_TOTAL_DAYS – Meeting or duration days associated with the deadline.
• ENR_DL_OFFSET_DAYS – The offset days applied when deriving the deadline date; this is the column most frequently referenced in this context.
• FUNCTION_NAME / FUNCTION_NAME_MEANING – The enrollment function code and its decoded meaning.
• DEFINITION_CODE / DEFINITION_CODE_MEANING – The definition level of the enrollment function and its decoded meaning.
• ORG_UNIT_CODE / ORG_DESCRIPTION – Organisational unit code and description.
• FORMULA_METHOD, ROUND_METHOD – The formula used to calculate the deadline date and the rounding method applied to the result.
• OFFSET_DT_CODE / OFFSET_DT_MEANING, OFFSET_DURATION – The offset date code, its meaning, and the offset duration expressed as a percentage value.
• WHO columns – CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, and LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary practical use of this view is investigative: locating and interpreting the offset configuration that drives non-standard enrollment deadline calculations. A typical query retrieves deadline records together with their offset values for a given offering option:

SELECT nstd_usec_dl_id, uoo_id, enr_dl_date, enr_dl_offset_days, enr_dl_total_days, formula_method, round_method FROM apps.igs_en_nstd_usec_dl_v WHERE uoo_id = :p_uoo_id;

Because the view resolves code meanings, it is also useful for verification and reconciliation work, confirming that the offset date code, duration percentage, and rounding method produce the expected deadline date. Given the documented warning, any integration or reporting requirement should be redirected to the underlying base tables rather than built against this view.
