Overview

The IGS_DA_OUT_USR_DEF table is a core data structure within the Oracle E-Business Suite Student System (IGS) module. It functions as a staging and transmission table specifically for the Degree Audit process. Its primary role is to store institution-specific, user-defined data that must be transmitted externally for each student as part of a Degree Audit request. This table acts as a critical interface point, holding the tailored information required by external systems to process and evaluate a student's academic progress against degree requirements.

Key Information Stored

The table is uniquely identified by a composite primary key that links it directly to a specific student within a specific audit batch. The key columns are BATCH_ID and PERSON_ID. While the provided metadata does not list all column definitions, the structure implies the presence of additional columns to hold the actual "outgoing institution specific information." This data is likely variable and customized per implementation, containing fields such as local student identifiers, program codes, or other institutional attributes not present in the standard Degree Audit tables. The table's existence ensures that this supplemental data is systematically associated with each outgoing audit request.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case for IGS_DA_OUT_USR_DEF is the batch extraction of student data for external degree audit processing. A typical operational query would join this table to the student request table to extract a complete dataset for transmission. For example, a common SQL pattern would be: SELECT usr_def.*, stdnts.* FROM IGS_DA_OUT_USR_DEF usr_def JOIN IGS_DA_REQ_STDNTS stdnts ON usr_def.batch_id = stdnts.batch_id AND usr_def.person_id = stdnts.person_id WHERE usr_def.batch_id = :p_batch_id; This table is also central to troubleshooting data transmission issues, verifying that all required custom student data has been correctly populated for a given audit batch before the external process is initiated.

Related Objects

  • Primary Key: IGS_DA_OUT_USR_DEF_PK (BATCH_ID, PERSON_ID)
  • Foreign Key Relationship (Referenced by): The table IGS_DA_OUT_USR_DEF has a foreign key dependency on the table IGS_DA_REQ_STDNTS. Specifically, the columns IGS_DA_OUT_USR_DEF.BATCH_ID and IGS_DA_OUT_USR_DEF.PERSON_ID reference their counterparts in IGS_DA_REQ_STDNTS. This enforces referential integrity, ensuring that every record in the user-defined output table corresponds to a valid student record within a defined Degree Audit request batch.
