Overview

The IGS_PE_USR_ARG_ALL table is a core data structure within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Student System (IGS) module, specifically designed to support self-service activities. Its primary role is to manage the configuration of date-driven rules for student record processing. The table stores associations between person types and specific date aliases, which are references to dates within the academic calendar. These configurations determine when records become available for update (record open), when updates are no longer permitted (record cutoff), and the relevant dates for grading schema calculations. As a multi-org table (indicated by the _ALL suffix and the ORG_ID column), it stores data for multiple operating units, enabling a shared installation to support diverse academic institutions or departments within a single EBS instance.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure centers on linking a person type to various calendar date aliases. The primary identifier is the USR_ACT_RE_GS_ID, a system-generated sequence. The PERSON_TYPE column is a critical foreign key linking to the IGS_PE_PERSON_TYPES table, defining the category of person (e.g., undergraduate, graduate) to which the date rules apply. The ORG_ID column specifies the operating unit. The table's core functional columns are foreign keys to the IGS_CA_DA (Date Alias) table: RECORD_OPEN_DT_ALIAS, RECORD_CUTOFF_DT_ALIAS, GRAD_SCH_DT_ALIAS, and UPD_AUDIT_DT_ALIAS. These columns hold the specific alias codes that point to the actual dates in the academic calendar governing the lifecycle of a student's record for self-service actions.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is essential for enforcing business rules in student self-service portals. A common use case is determining if a student of a given person type can currently submit a grade change or update personal information, based on whether the current date falls between the resolved record open and cutoff dates. System administrators use this table for setup and maintenance. A typical query would join to the date alias and calendar tables to resolve the actual dates for reporting or validation.

  • Sample Query to Resolve Active Rules:
    SELECT pt.person_type_code, da_open.alias_val AS open_date, da_cutoff.alias_val AS cutoff_date
    FROM igs_pe_usr_arg_all arg
    JOIN igs_pe_person_types pt ON arg.person_type = pt.person_type_id
    JOIN igs_ca_da da_open ON arg.record_open_dt_alias = da_open.dt_alias
    JOIN igs_ca_da da_cutoff ON arg.record_cutoff_dt_alias = da_cutoff.dt_alias
    WHERE arg.org_id = :p_org_id;

Related Objects

The IGS_PE_USR_ARG_ALL table has defined relationships with several key tables in the Student System, primarily through foreign key constraints. These relationships are fundamental to maintaining data integrity and enabling joins for reporting and application logic.

  • IGS_PE_PERSON_TYPES: Linked via the PERSON_TYPE column. This relationship defines which person type classification the date alias rules apply to.
  • IGS_CA_DA (Date Alias): Linked via four separate foreign keys. This is the most critical relationship, as it resolves the configured alias codes to actual calendar dates.
    • RECORD_OPEN_DT_ALIAS
    • RECORD_CUTOFF_DT_ALIAS
    • GRAD_SCH_DT_ALIAS
    • UPD_AUDIT_DT_ALIAS
