Overview

The table IGF_AW_ANTICPT_INTS is a data interface table within the Oracle E-Business Suite's Financial Aid module (IGF), which is now designated as obsolete. Its primary function is to serve as a staging area for loading anticipated cost of attendance data into the system. This table facilitates the batch import of financial aid information related to a student's estimated educational expenses, which is a critical component for calculating financial need and award packaging. The metadata explicitly states it is "Not implemented in this database," indicating it was a defined structure for a potential interface that may not have been deployed in standard installations of versions 12.1.1 or 12.2.2, or its population was contingent on custom integration processes.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to uniquely identify and store anticipated cost records for individuals within specific institutional contexts. Its composite primary key defines the essential dimensions of the data: BATCH_NUM identifies the specific data load; CI_ALTERNATE_CODE and LD_ALTERNATE_CODE likely represent codes for the academic institution (CI) and a related detail like a load or term (LD); and PERSON_NUMBER identifies the student. While the specific data columns for cost amounts are not detailed in the provided excerpt, the table would typically hold anticipated expense figures across various categories (e.g., tuition, room, board, books) as defined by the financial aid system's configuration, corresponding to the imported batch.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case involves batch data integration from external systems, such as a student information system, into Oracle Financial Aid. A typical process would populate this table via a custom program or SQL*Loader, after which an internal validation and transfer process would move the data into core application tables. Common queries would focus on verifying batch loads or troubleshooting interface errors. For example, to review all anticipated cost records for a specific batch, one might use: SELECT * FROM igf_aw_anticpt_ints WHERE batch_num = :p_batch_num ORDER BY person_number;. Reporting would often join to the batch interface table to assess the status and source of the imported data.

Related Objects

Based on the documented foreign key relationship, this table has a direct dependency on the batch control table for the interface process.

  • IGF_AP_LI_BAT_INTS: This is the primary related object. The column IGF_AW_ANTICPT_INTS.BATCH_NUM is a foreign key referencing the IGF_AP_LI_BAT_INTS table. This relationship ensures that every record in the anticipated interface table is associated with a valid, controlled batch job, providing auditability and process integrity for the data load. A typical join would be: SELECT bat.original_filename, anticpt.* FROM igf_aw_anticpt_ints anticpt, igf_ap_li_bat_ints bat WHERE anticpt.batch_num = bat.batch_num;.
