Overview

IGF_AP_LI_AWARDS_PKG is an Oracle E-Business Suite PL/SQL package owned by the APPS schema and classified under the API classification OTHER. It belongs to the Oracle Financial Aid (IGF) product family and supports the processing of award-related data within the Student Financial Aid and Awards modules. The package is defined with AUTHID CURRENT_USER, meaning its procedures execute with the privileges of the invoking user rather than the definer, and the package body header indicates its original development lineage (IGFAP37S.pls, circa 2003). Its primary business role is to orchestrate the import of award information into the base records and interface staging structures used by downstream eligibility and disbursement logic. The central entry point, MAIN_IMPORT_PROCESS, exists to drive this import as a batch-style operation, while PRINT_LOG_PROCESS provides supplementary logging and error-reporting output.

Key Procedures and Functions

The package exposes two documented procedures:

  • MAIN_IMPORT_PROCESS — The principal import driver. Based on the documented signature, it accepts an error buffer and return code (standard concurrent program OUT parameters), an award year, a batch identifier, and a delete indicator. It is the procedure the user searched for and is the operational core of the package, coordinating the validation and loading of award data for a given batch and award year.
  • PRINT_LOG_PROCESS — A logging utility that accepts a person number and an error message, used to record processing outcomes and diagnostics. It is typically invoked during or after the main import to surface errors encountered for individual persons.

No additional procedures or functions are documented in the supplied metadata. Parameter lists are not reproduced here beyond what the ETRM excerpt documents, and no behavior should be assumed beyond the import and logging roles described.

Tables Accessed

The package operates across five documented tables, accessed through APPS synonyms:

  • IGF_AP_FA_BASE_REC_ALL — The awards base records table, likely the target of imported and validated award data.
  • IGF_AP_LI_BAT_INTS — The batch interface table holding staging rows for the identified batch.
  • IGF_AW_LI_AGR_INTS — The award agreement interface table, supplying or receiving agreement-level award data.
  • IGS_PE_HZ_PARTIES — The parties table, used to resolve person or party identifiers associated with awards.
  • PLITBLM — A generic PL/SQL table structure used for in-memory processing and pass-through of data.

Together these tables indicate a workflow that reads staged batch data, resolves parties, applies award agreement information, and writes results into the base records table.

Usage Notes

IGF_AP_LI_AWARDS_PKG is not referenced by any other documented packages, so its callers are expected to be external: Oracle Forms event handlers, concurrent program definitions, or custom integration code. Because MAIN_IMPORT_PROCESS follows the errbuf/retcode convention, it is well suited to invocation from a concurrent program registered in the Financial Aid responsibility, where the award year, batch ID, and delete indicator would be supplied as parameters. The delete indicator allows a caller to control whether existing records are removed before import. PRINT_LOG_PROCESS is generally called after import completion to emit per-person error lines. Administrators and developers should confirm the exact parameter semantics against the installed package body prior to custom use, as the ETRM excerpt documents only the procedure declarations.
