Overview

The IGS_AS_USEC_SESSNS table is a data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 releases, specifically belonging to the IGS (Student System) product family. As indicated by its description, its primary role is to store details for Unit Section Sessions. This table is part of the academic structure, designed to manage the scheduling of specific sessions (e.g., lectures, tutorials, labs) associated with a unit offering option. Critically, the provided metadata explicitly states that the Student System module is "Obsolete" and that this table was "Not implemented in this database." This indicates it was a planned enhancement or part of a localized customization that was never deployed in the standard product, rendering it a non-functional artifact in a typical EBS instance.

Key Information Stored

Based on the documented primary and foreign key structure, the table's core purpose is to define a session within a unit section. The primary key is a composite of two columns: UOO_ID and SESSION_NAME. The UOO_ID column links the session to a specific Unit Offering Option (IGS_PS_UNIT_OFR_OPT_ALL). The SESSION_NAME column uniquely identifies the session within that offering. A third key column, UNIT_SECTION_OCCURRENCE_ID, establishes a foreign key relationship to the IGS_PS_USEC_OCCURS_ALL table, tying the session to a specific occurrence or instance of a unit section. While other descriptive columns likely existed in the full definition, they are not detailed in the provided excerpt.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Given its documented status as unimplemented, there are no operational use cases for this table in a standard EBS environment. If it were active, its purpose would be to support detailed academic scheduling and attendance tracking. Potential analytical queries would have involved joining session data with unit offerings and student attendance records. A sample query pattern to retrieve all sessions for a unit section occurrence might have resembled:

  • SELECT sessns.* FROM igs_as_usec_sessns sessns WHERE sessns.unit_section_occurrence_id = :p_usec_occ_id;

Reporting would have focused on session timetables, capacity planning, and correlating session attendance with academic performance.

Related Objects

The metadata defines clear foreign key relationships, outlining this table's intended position in the data model. The documented dependencies are:

  • Parent Tables:
    • IGS_PS_UNIT_OFR_OPT_ALL via the UOO_ID column.
    • IGS_PS_USEC_OCCURS_ALL via the UNIT_SECTION_OCCURRENCE_ID column.
  • Child Table:
    • IGS_AS_SUA_SES_ATTS (Student Unit Attempt Session Attendance) via a composite foreign key on UOO_ID and SESSION_NAME. This indicates the unimplemented design intended for student attendance records to be linked directly to specific unit section sessions.
