Overview

The IGR_IS_ACAD table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Student System (IGS). It functions as a staging table specifically designed for the Self Service application layer. Its primary role is to temporarily hold academic interest data submitted by prospective or current students through web-based self-service portals before that data is formally processed and integrated into the main transactional tables of the Student Information System. This staging mechanism is critical for managing data integrity, validation, and workflow in high-volume, user-initiated transactions within the EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 environments.

Key Information Stored

The table stores metadata related to a user's expressed academic interests. While the full column list is not provided in the excerpt, the documented structure reveals essential identifiers. The primary key column, INQ_ACAD_ID, uniquely identifies each staged academic interest record. A critical foreign key column, INQ_PERSON_ID, links the academic interest data to a specific person record within the IGS schema, likely referencing a base person or inquiry table. This relationship ensures the staged data is associated with the correct individual. The table's description implies it holds details about the specific academic programs, courses, or research areas a person has indicated interest in, serving as a precursor to formal application or enrollment processes.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case involves capturing and reviewing self-service submissions. A common operational query would retrieve all pending academic interests for a specific person or within a date range for review by admissions staff. A typical SQL pattern might be:

• SELECT * FROM igs.igr_is_acad WHERE inq_person_id = <PERSON_ID> ORDER BY inq_acad_id;

Another frequent scenario is data validation and batch processing, where a scheduled concurrent program or API transfers validated records from this staging table into permanent student academic structures. Reporting use cases often focus on analyzing trends in prospective student interests by aggregating data from this table before formal application, aiding in recruitment and program planning strategies.

Related Objects

As indicated by the foreign key metadata, IGR_IS_ACAD has a direct dependency on another table via the INQ_PERSON_ID column. This foreign key almost certainly references a primary key in a core person or inquiry table within the IGS schema, such as IGR_I_PE_STG or a similar staging table for person data. The table is also centrally related to the IGR_IS_ACAD_PK primary key constraint. In the broader application architecture, it is accessed by Self Service application modules and is likely processed by standard Oracle Student System APIs or packages responsible for managing the inquiry and admissions lifecycle, which move data from staging to production status.
