Overview

The table IGS_DA_OUT_STDT_DEG is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Student System (IGS) module. It functions as a transactional staging table specifically designed for the Degree Audit process. Its primary role is to store processed, outgoing degree information for a student that has been generated in response to a Degree Audit Request. This table acts as a critical intermediary, holding the detailed audit results related to a student's degree progress before this information is potentially formatted for external reporting or consumption by other downstream systems. Its existence underscores the batch-oriented nature of complex academic audits in the EBS architecture.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is centered on uniquely identifying a student's degree record within a specific audit batch. The primary key is a composite of three columns, reflecting this relationship. The most critical columns include:

  • BATCH_ID: Links the degree record to a specific batch run of the Degree Audit process.
  • PERSON_ID: Identifies the student to whom the degree information pertains.
  • DEGREE_SEQ_NUM: A sequence number that differentiates between multiple degrees or degree records for the same student within the same audit batch.

While the provided metadata does not list all columns, the table logically contains attributes detailing the specific degree being audited (e.g., degree code, status, honors), its requirements, and the student's progress against those requirements as calculated by the audit engine.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily accessed for generating detailed Degree Audit reports and for interfacing audit results to external systems. Common operational and reporting scenarios involve extracting the complete audit outcome for a student or a batch of students. A typical query pattern joins this table with the student request table to filter and retrieve results.

Sample SQL Pattern:
SELECT deg.*
FROM igs.igs_da_out_stdt_deg deg,
igs.igs_da_req_stdnts req
WHERE deg.batch_id = req.batch_id
AND deg.person_id = req.person_id
AND req.batch_id = :p_batch_id
AND req.person_id = :p_student_id;
This query retrieves all degree records for a specific student from a specific audit batch, forming the basis for a detailed audit transcript.

Related Objects

The IGS_DA_OUT_STDT_DEG table has a direct and essential foreign key relationship, as documented in the ETRM metadata. It is a child table to IGS_DA_REQ_STDNTS, which stores the header-level information for students included in a Degree Audit request batch.

  • Foreign Key Relationship: IGS_DA_OUT_STDT_DEG references IGS_DA_REQ_STDNTS via the columns (BATCH_ID, PERSON_ID). This ensures that every degree audit result record is tied to a valid student request entry. The relationship is fundamental for data integrity, as it prevents orphaned audit results and enables the tracing of all output back to its originating request.

This table is also likely referenced by various Degree Audit reporting views and is populated by the core Degree Audit engine packages within the IGS module, though these specific dependencies are not enumerated in the provided metadata.
