Overview

The IGS_EN_SEVIS_AUTH table is a core data structure within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, specifically in the IGS (iGrants) product family, which is part of the Oracle Student Management product suite. This table historically served as a repository for SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) authorization codes linked to eligibility overrides for international students. Its primary role was to maintain a historical record of authorizations that permitted specific actions or statuses for a student within the U.S. government's SEVIS compliance framework. The table's status is marked as "Obsolete" in the provided metadata, indicating it is no longer actively developed or recommended for use in current implementations, though it may persist in legacy systems for data reference.

Key Information Stored

The table stores authorization records keyed by an eligibility override identifier, an authorization code, and a start date. The most critical columns include:

  • ELGB_OVERRIDE_ID: A numeric identifier linking the authorization to a specific student eligibility override record.
  • SEVIS_AUTHORIZATION_CD: The code representing the specific SEVIS authorization granted.
  • START_DT and END_DT: Define the effective date range for which the authorization was valid.
  • COMMENTS: A descriptive field for administrative notes regarding the authorization.
The table also includes standard Oracle EBS audit columns (CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN) and Concurrent Processing columns (REQUEST_ID, PROGRAM_APPLICATION_ID, PROGRAM_ID, PROGRAM_UPDATE_DATE) to track which program or report created or modified the row.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Given its obsolete status, primary use cases involve historical auditing, data migration validation, or supporting legacy reports. A common query would retrieve the full authorization history for a specific eligibility override to understand past compliance actions. The fundamental query pattern, as indicated by the ETRM, is the SELECT statement listing all columns. For reporting, one might join this table to the main eligibility override entity (not specified in the provided metadata) to produce student-specific SEVIS authorization timelines. Analysts might run queries to find authorizations active during a specific date range or to audit entries lacking proper end dates.

Related Objects

Based on the provided dependency and relationship data, the key related object is the primary key constraint itself: IGS_EN_SEVIS_AUTH_PK, which is defined on the columns (ELGB_OVERRIDE_ID, SEVIS_AUTHORIZATION_CD, START_DT). The unique index IGS_EN_SEVIS_AUTH_U1 enforces this primary key. The metadata states that the table "IGS.IGS_EN_SEVIS_AUTH is referenced by" an object named "IGS_EN_SEVIS_AUTH" in the APPS schema, which is likely a public synonym or a view providing a layer of abstraction for application code. No other foreign key relationships or dependent tables are listed in the provided excerpt, suggesting this table may have been a child table in a now-obsolete data model.
