Overview

The IGS_AD_TUNDT_INT table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Student System (product family IGS). As indicated by its name and description, this table functions as an interface table, specifically designed to contain term unit details. In the context of EBS architecture, interface tables are critical staging areas. They temporarily hold data that is being loaded from external or legacy systems before it is validated and processed into the application's base transactional tables. Its role is to facilitate the bulk import or integration of detailed academic unit information associated with specific terms, which is a fundamental component of student administration, enrollment, and academic planning modules.

Key Information Stored

Based on the provided metadata, the primary data element stored is the unique identifier for each interface record, which is the column INTERFACE_TERM_UNITDTLS_ID. This column serves as the primary key for the table (IGS_AD_TUNDT_INT_PK). While the full column list is not detailed in the excerpt, the table's purpose implies it would store attributes related to academic units (courses, modules) for a given term. This typically includes foreign keys to identify the associated term and unit, along with details such as the unit's credit value, status, mode of attendance, and other configuration data specific to that term's offering. The data remains in this interface state until a concurrent process validates and transfers it into the production tables of the Student System.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case for IGS_AD_TUNDT_INT is during data migration or system integration projects, where large volumes of term-specific unit data need to be loaded into EBS. Administrators would populate this table via SQL*Loader, custom PL/SQL scripts, or through a defined API. Common operational queries involve checking the status of interface data before and after running the relevant import concurrent request. For example, a query to count records pending processing or to identify records that failed validation would be standard. A basic sample query to review loaded data might be:

  • SELECT interface_term_unitdtls_id, creation_date, last_update_date FROM igs.igs_ad_tundt_int WHERE creation_date > SYSDATE - 1 ORDER BY 1;

Reporting directly from this interface table is generally for audit and troubleshooting purposes only, as the authoritative data resides in the base tables post-import.

Related Objects

The documented primary key relationship indicates this table is a parent to other objects via foreign key constraints. The IGS_AD_TUNDT_INT_PK constraint on INTERFACE_TERM_UNITDTLS_ID would be referenced by foreign keys in related child interface or transactional tables. While specific child table names are not listed in the metadata, in a typical Student System schema, this table likely feeds into or is validated against base tables such as those storing term structures (IGS_EN_UNIT_SET) or unit offerings (IGS_PS_UNIT_OFR). The interface records are processed by a dedicated concurrent program or PL/SQL package (likely named with an _IMP or _PROC suffix) belonging to the IGS product family, which controls the validation and transfer of data from this staging table.
