Overview

The IGS_AD_OS_SEC_ED_SUB table is a core data structure within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, specifically for the Oracle Student Management (OSM) or Admissions modules under the IGS (iGradSchools) schema. Its primary function is to store detailed subject-level information from an applicant's overseas secondary education history. This data is critical for the comprehensive assessment of admissions applications, allowing institutions to evaluate international academic qualifications at a granular level. The table maintains a historical record of subjects attempted, results achieved, and the corresponding years, forming an essential part of the applicant's academic profile.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to uniquely identify and describe an applicant's secondary education subjects from outside the institution's primary educational system. Key columns include:

• PERSON_ID: The unique identifier for the applicant within the system.
• OSE_SEQUENCE_NUMBER and SEQUENCE_NUMBER: Together, these columns form a composite unique key (enforced by index IGS_AD_OS_SEC_ED_SUB_U1) to uniquely identify a subject record for a person, likely linking to a parent overseas education record.
• SUBJECT_CD and SUBJECT_DESC: Store the code and full description of the secondary education subject (e.g., Mathematics, Physics).
• RESULT_TYPE and RESULT: Define the type of result (e.g., Grade, Score, Percentage) and the actual value achieved by the applicant.
• SUBJECT_RESULT_YR: The calendar year in which the result was awarded.
• Standard WHO Columns (CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN): Audit columns tracking the record's creation and modification history.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to reporting and processes related to international applicant evaluation. A common use case is generating a detailed transcript of an applicant's overseas secondary education for review by an admissions committee. Another is validating subject-specific prerequisites for particular courses of study. The standard query for extracting this data, as provided in the ETRM, is foundational for such reports:

SELECT PERSON_ID, OSE_SEQUENCE_NUMBER, SEQUENCE_NUMBER, SUBJECT_CD, SUBJECT_DESC, RESULT_TYPE, RESULT, SUBJECT_RESULT_YR FROM IGS.IGS_AD_OS_SEC_ED_SUB WHERE PERSON_ID = :applicant_id ORDER BY SUBJECT_RESULT_YR, SUBJECT_CD;

Analytical queries might aggregate results by subject area or calculate average performance across an applicant's overseas record. Data from this table is typically accessed via the application's user interface for data entry and review, and it feeds into institutional reporting on international applicant qualifications.

Related Objects

Based on the naming convention and functional context, the IGS_AD_OS_SEC_ED_SUB table is a child table that almost certainly relates to a parent table storing the overarching overseas secondary education record for a person, which would be referenced by the PERSON_ID and OSE_SEQUENCE_NUMBER columns. A logical parent table would be named similarly, such as IGS_AD_OS_SEC_ED (Overseas Secondary Education). The provided dependency information states this table does not reference other objects, indicating it is at the leaf level of its data hierarchy. It is, however, referenced by other application components, such as forms, reports, and PL/SQL APIs within the Admissions module, which would query this table to build a complete applicant assessment profile.
