Overview

The IGS_PE_PERS_NOTE table is a core data entity within the Oracle E-Business Suite's now-obsolete Student System (IGS). It functions as a junction table, establishing a formal relationship between a person record and a note. Its primary role is to associate textual notes, comments, or remarks with specific individuals, enabling the tracking of contextual information relevant to a person's record. This table is critical for maintaining a historical and auditable log of person-related communications or observations within the student management lifecycle. The provided metadata explicitly states this table was "Not implemented in this database," indicating it may exist as a definition within the data model but was not deployed in certain instances, or its functionality was superseded by other modules like Oracle Trading Community Architecture (TCA).

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is defined by its composite primary key and foreign key relationships. The key columns are PERSON_ID, which stores the unique identifier linking to the party record in HZ_PARTIES, and REFERENCE_NUMBER, which stores the unique identifier for the note text in the IGS_GE_NOTE table. A third significant column is PE_NOTE_TYPE, which references the IGS_PE_NOTE_TYPE table to categorize the note (e.g., academic warning, financial hold, general comment). The table itself primarily stores these foreign key identifiers; the substantive note text and person details are held in the related master tables.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table supports scenarios requiring the retrieval or association of notes for a specific person. Common operational and reporting use cases include generating a complete history of all notes attached to a student's record for an advisor review, or identifying all persons tagged with a specific type of note, such as a disciplinary action. A typical query would join IGS_PE_PERS_NOTE to HZ_PARTIES for person details and to IGS_GE_NOTE for the note content and dates.

Sample SQL Pattern:
SELECT hp.party_name, ign.note_text, ign.creation_date, ipnt.note_type_name
FROM igs_pe_pers_note ipn,
hz_parties hp,
igs_ge_note ign,
igs_pe_note_type ipnt
WHERE ipn.person_id = hp.party_id
AND ipn.reference_number = ign.reference_number
AND ipn.pe_note_type = ipnt.pe_note_type
AND hp.party_number = 'STUDENT123';

Related Objects

The IGS_PE_PERS_NOTE table is centrally connected to three primary tables via foreign key constraints, forming the backbone of the person-notes model:

  • HZ_PARTIES: The master table for all persons and organizations in Oracle EBS. The join is on IGS_PE_PERS_NOTE.PERSON_ID = HZ_PARTIES.PARTY_ID.
  • IGS_GE_NOTE: The generic notes table storing the actual note text, creation date, and author. The join is on IGS_PE_PERS_NOTE.REFERENCE_NUMBER = IGS_GE_NOTE.REFERENCE_NUMBER.
  • IGS_PE_NOTE_TYPE: The lookup table defining valid classifications for person notes. The join is on IGS_PE_PERS_NOTE.PE_NOTE_TYPE = IGS_PE_NOTE_TYPE.PE_NOTE_TYPE.
