Overview

The IGS_AD_EDUGOAL_INT table is an interface table within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, specifically belonging to the now-obsolete IGS (Student System) product. Its primary function is to serve as a staging area for data related to a person's educational goals during an interface or data loading process. Interface tables are critical in EBS architecture for managing the validation and transformation of data before it is transferred into the core transactional tables of the application. The "Not implemented in this database" status noted in the metadata suggests this specific table may not be instantiated in all deployments, indicating its use was likely tied to a particular, discontinued integration or data migration path.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to hold the raw or semi-processed interface records for educational goal information. The central identifier for each unique record in this interface queue is the INTERFACE_EDUGOAL_ID column, which serves as the table's primary key. A critical relational column is INTERFACE_PS_APPL_INST_ID. This foreign key links each educational goal interface record to its corresponding parent application institution record within the interface layer, specifically to the IGS_AD_PS_APPL_INST_INT table. This relationship ensures that educational goal data is correctly associated with the relevant application context during the interface process.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The principal use case for this table is the batch processing of educational goal data, typically sourced from an external system like a legacy student information system or a third-party application portal. A common operational pattern would involve an interface program or concurrent request that selects records from this table, performs necessary validation against EBS flexfields and code tables, and then moves the cleansed data into the target transactional tables. A typical diagnostic or monitoring query would check for records that have been in the interface table for an extended period, which may indicate a processing error.

Related Objects

The table maintains a defined relationship with one other interface object, as documented in the provided metadata. This relationship is essential for maintaining referential integrity within the interface layer.

  • IGS_AD_PS_APPL_INST_INT: This is the primary parent table for IGS_AD_EDUGOAL_INT. The relationship is enforced via a foreign key where the column IGS_AD_EDUGOAL_INT.INTERFACE_PS_APPL_INST_ID references a corresponding primary key in the IGS_AD_PS_APPL_INST_INT table. This links an educational goal to a specific application instance during data staging.
