Overview

The table IGS_UC_MAP_EBL_QUAL is a seeded reference table within the Oracle E-Business Suite Student System (IGS) module. Its primary function is to maintain the pre-defined mapping relationships between three critical academic entities: an Exam Board, an Exam Level, and a Qualification. This mapping is essential for standardizing and automating the processing of student academic records, particularly in systems that manage admissions, credit transfers, or compliance reporting. By providing a centralized, authoritative source for these associations, the table ensures data integrity and consistency across the student lifecycle management processes in releases 12.1.1 and 12.2.2.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to uniquely define each valid combination of its core components. The primary key constraint, IGS_UC_MAP_EBL_QUAL_PK, is defined on the columns EXAM_BOARD_CODE and EXAM_LEVEL. This indicates that each record represents a distinct mapping for a specific exam board at a specific academic level. While the full column list is not detailed in the provided metadata, the description confirms the table holds data linking these two elements to associated Qualification details. Typically, this would include a column for a qualification code or identifier, and potentially descriptive fields or effective dating columns to manage the validity of the mapping over time.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is predominantly used in validation and lookup scenarios within student-facing processes. A common use case is during application entry or transcript processing, where a student's prior exam results (with a board and level) need to be automatically matched to an equivalent internal qualification for credit assessment. Reporting on available qualification pathways by exam board also relies on this data. A typical query would retrieve the qualification for a given exam board and level:

• SELECT qualification_code FROM igs.igs_uc_map_ebl_qual WHERE exam_board_code = '&BOARD' AND exam_level = '&LEVEL';

Conversely, administrators might query all valid exam boards and levels that map to a specific qualification for setup or audit purposes.

Related Objects

As a seeded mapping table, IGS_UC_MAP_EBL_QUAL is a reference point for other objects in the Student System. It is likely referenced by tables storing student examination history or qualification achievements to enforce valid combinations. Key related objects would include the main tables for Exam Boards (possibly named like IGS_UC_EXAM_BOARD) and Qualifications (e.g., IGS_QUALIFICATION). Forms and APIs responsible for maintaining exam results or processing applications will depend on this table for validation lists and business logic. The table's seeded nature also implies it may be populated and maintained via specific data upload programs or administrative functions within the IGS module.
