Overview

The table IGS_PS_OFR_OPT_NOTE is a core data structure within the Oracle E-Business Suite Student System (IGS) for releases 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. It functions as the central repository for storing descriptive notes and comments associated with specific program offering options. A program offering option defines the precise delivery mode, location, and attendance pattern for a given academic program (course) version within a defined academic calendar. This table enables institutions to attach contextual information, administrative instructions, or special requirements directly to these offerings, ensuring that critical details are formally recorded and accessible to other system modules and processes.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is defined by a composite primary key that uniquely identifies each note by its associated program offering option and a reference number. The key columns, which also serve as foreign keys to the parent offering option (IGS_PS_OFR_OPT_ALL), are COURSE_CD, VERSION_NUMBER, CAL_TYPE, LOCATION_CD, ATTENDANCE_MODE, and ATTENDANCE_TYPE. The REFERENCE_NUMBER column provides the unique identifier for the note itself within that offering context. A critical column is CRS_NOTE_TYPE, which is a foreign key to IGS_PS_NOTE_TYPE_ALL. This column classifies the note (e.g., administrative, public, internal), dictating its purpose and potentially its visibility. The table also includes a COO_ID column, providing an alternative foreign key relationship to the parent offering option table via its surrogate key.

Common Use Cases and Queries

A primary use case is the retrieval of all notes for a specific program offering to support academic advising, enrollment counseling, and administrative setup. For instance, a report might list all public-facing notes for offerings in a given term. Common SQL patterns involve joining to the offering option and note type tables. A typical query would be: SELECT n.*, t.note_type_name FROM igs.igs_ps_ofr_opt_note n, igs.igs_ps_note_type_all t, igs.igs_ps_ofr_opt_all o WHERE n.crs_note_type = t.note_type AND n.course_cd = o.course_cd AND n.version_number = o.version_number AND n.cal_type = o.cal_type AND o.cal_type = '<TERM_CODE>'; Another critical use case is data validation during processes like course enrollment or offering creation, where system logic may check for the existence of mandatory notes or warnings associated with an offering option.

Related Objects

  • IGS_PS_OFR_OPT_ALL: The primary parent table. The note table is linked via the composite key (COURSE_CD, VERSION_NUMBER, CAL_TYPE, LOCATION_CD, ATTENDANCE_MODE, ATTENDANCE_TYPE) and alternatively via the COO_ID column.
  • IGS_PS_NOTE_TYPE_ALL: Provides the valid list of note type codes and descriptions for the CRS_NOTE_TYPE column, controlling note categorization.
  • IGS_GE_NOTE: Likely contains the detailed note text (CLOB or LONG). The REFERENCE_NUMBER in IGS_PS_OFR_OPT_NOTE is a foreign key to this table, which serves as a generic note repository.
