Overview

The IGF_AW_LI_HOLD_INTS table is an interface table within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, specifically for the now-obsolete IGF (Financial Aid) module. Its primary role is to serve as a staging area for the batch import of legacy data concerning award disbursement holds. This table facilitates the migration or periodic loading of external data into the core EBS financial aid system by providing a structured, intermediate location where data can be validated and processed before being transferred to the application's main transactional tables. The provided metadata explicitly notes it is "Not implemented in this database," indicating it is a defined but inactive object in this specific instance, likely reserved for implementation-specific customization or data conversion projects.

Key Information Stored

The table stores the essential identifiers required to uniquely associate a disbursement hold with a specific student and financial aid award. Based on the documented primary key and column list, the critical fields are:

• HOLD_CODE: The core identifier for the type of restriction or condition preventing the disbursement of funds.
• PERSON_NUMBER: A unique identifier for the student (person) to whom the award and hold apply.
• AWARD_NUMBER_TXT: The identifier for the specific financial aid award.
• DISBURSEMENT_NUM: The sequence number of the specific disbursement installment within the award that is subject to the hold.
• CI_ALTERNATE_CODE: Likely an identifier for the configuration or institution, used to partition data in multi-entity implementations.

Together, these columns form the primary key (IGF_AW_LI_HOLD_INTS_PK), ensuring that each record in this interface table is uniquely defined by the combination of person, award, disbursement, and hold code.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case is the batch import process for disbursement hold data from a legacy or external system. A typical operation would involve an SQL*Loader or custom PL/SQL program populating this table, followed by the execution of a dedicated concurrent program or API to validate the records and transfer them into the production tables. Common queries would focus on validating the interface data before processing. For example, identifying records with missing mandatory fields or checking for duplicate holds using the primary key columns:

SELECT person_number, award_number_txt, disbursement_num, hold_code, COUNT(*)
FROM igf_aw_li_hold_ints
GROUP BY person_number, award_number_txt, disbursement_num, hold_code
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;

Another standard query would be to review all pending holds for a specific student or award to verify the data load before initiating the interface transfer program.

Related Objects

As an interface table for legacy data, IGF_AW_LI_HOLD_INTS is designed to feed data into the core transactional tables of the Financial Aid module. While the provided metadata does not list explicit foreign keys, the column names strongly suggest relationships with foundational EBS entities. The PERSON_NUMBER likely references a person identifier in the PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F or similar HRMS table. The HOLD_CODE would correspond to a valid value in a Financial Aid hold lookup table. The AWARD_NUMBER_TXT and DISBURSEMENT_NUM columns are intended to relate to the primary award and disbursement tables within the IGF schema, such as IGF_AW_AWARD and IGF_AW_DISB. The interface process itself would be managed by a custom or seeded PL/SQL package responsible for the validation and migration of data from this staging table.
