Overview

The table IGF_AP_LI_FAB_INTS is a core data interface table within the Oracle E-Business Suite's Financial Aid module (IGF). Its primary function is to serve as a staging area for the legacy import of Financial Aid Base (FAB) record data. In the context of EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, this table facilitates the migration or batch loading of student financial aid information from external, legacy systems into the standardized Oracle IGF data model. It acts as an intermediary structure where raw data is first populated, typically via a custom SQL*Loader script or a similar data transfer mechanism, before being validated and processed by the application's concurrent programs or APIs to create final transactional records.

Key Information Stored

The table stores the essential identifiers and data points required to establish a student's financial aid base record. As defined by its primary key, the two most critical columns are CI_ALTERNATE_CODE and PERSON_NUMBER. These fields uniquely identify a student's financial aid record within a specific installation context (likely a Campaign or Award Year). While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, a table of this nature typically holds demographic, eligibility, and need analysis data imported from a legacy source. This can include fields such as academic period, dependency status, expected family contribution (EFC), total student budget (cost of attendance), and various calculated financial need figures, all specific to the legacy import process.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The predominant use case is the one-time or periodic batch import of financial aid data during a system implementation or integration. Administrators would load data into this interface table and then execute a standard Oracle Financial Aid concurrent request (e.g., "Legacy Import Process") to validate the records and transfer them into the base tables. Common queries involve monitoring the load's status. For example, a query to check for records pending processing or those that failed validation might resemble: SELECT ci_alternate_code, person_number FROM igf.igf_ap_li_fab_ints WHERE process_status = 'PENDING';. Reporting directly from this table is generally limited to audit trails and data reconciliation efforts between the legacy source and the newly imported EBS data.

Related Objects

The primary documented relationship for IGF_AP_LI_FAB_INTS is its primary key constraint, IGF_AP_LI_FAB_INTS_PK, on the columns (CI_ALTERNATE_CODE, PERSON_NUMBER). This table is a source for processing programs that populate core transactional tables in the IGF schema. While not listed in the snippet, it logically relates to tables such as IGF_AW_BASE_REC (the final Financial Aid Base record table) and other interface tables with similar naming patterns (e.g., IGF_AP_LI_FUND_INTS for fund data). The table's data is ultimately consumed by Financial Aid's legacy import engine, which is likely encapsulated within a PL/SQL package such as IGF_AP_LI_IMPORT_PKG or a similarly named API.
