Overview

IGS_SV_EV_STATUS_BLK_V is a reporting view in the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 environments, owned by the APPS schema. It is part of the Student Systems / SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) module, exposed through the IGS (International Graduate/Government Student) product family. The view consolidates student SEVIS person records that are ready to be transmitted to the SEVIS batch processing interface, presenting a flattened, report-friendly structure that downstream concurrent programs, extracts, and external interfaces can query directly. Its primary role is to feed SEVIS status block generation, providing a single row per qualifying person and batch with the identifiers and remarks needed to construct the electronic status submission.

The object derives its name from the "EV Status Block" concept — a grouped payload of student records keyed by batch, used when Oracle transmits status updates to the SEVIS system.

Underlying Base Objects

The view is defined over the base table IGS_SV_PERSONS (aliased PERS), which holds SEVIS person-level records, including identifiers, reprint reason codes, SEVIS user IDs, and record numbers. The view also references IGS_SV_BTCH_SUMMARY (aliased STATSUMM) through a correlated EXISTS subquery, joining on PERSON_ID and BATCH_ID. No additional base objects are documented in the ETRM metadata, although the naming convention implies integration with broader SEVIS batch and status infrastructure within IGS.

The view filters strictly on PERS.RECORD_STATUS = 'C' (completed/created records) and returns rows where either the NO_SHOW_FLAG equals 'Y', or an existent batch summary row carries TAG_CODE = 'SV_STATUS' together with ADM_ACTION_CODE = 'SEND'. This predicate ensures only actionable records are surfaced.

Key Columns

  • BATCH_ID — Identifier grouping records into a SEVIS transmission batch.
  • PDSO_SEVIS_ID — The Principal Designated School Official SEVIS identifier associated with the record.
  • PERSON_ID — Internal Oracle person identifier; also transformed into two derived columns.
  • NO_SHOW_FLAG — Indicates whether the student failed to report as expected; a key driver of the view's WHERE clause.
  • SEVIS_USER_ID — The SEVIS-assigned user identifier for the person.
  • RECORD_NUMBER — Sequential or system-assigned record number.
  • PERSON_NUMBER — Derived via LTRIM(TO_CHAR(SUBSTR(PERSON_ID,1,10),'0000000000')), producing a zero-padded ten-digit representation.
  • PERSON_ID_LONG — Similarly derived at fourteen digits for extended formatting.
  • OTHER_REMARKS — Produced by DECODE(REPRINT_RSN_CODE,'05', REPRINT_REMARKS, NULL). Only when the reprint reason code equals '05' does the reprint remarks text populate this column; otherwise it is NULL. This is the column most directly associated with the "other_remarks" search term and carries free-text annotations supporting reprint scenario 05.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Typical usage involves extracting SEVIS-ready person data for a batch, verifying which records carry reprint remarks, or auditing no-show handling. A representative query:

  • SELECT batch_id, person_id, person_number, other_remarks FROM apps.igs_sv_ev_status_blk_v WHERE other_remarks IS NOT NULL; — isolates records where reprint reason code '05' applies and remarks were populated.
  • SELECT batch_id, COUNT(*) FROM apps.igs_sv_ev_status_blk_v GROUP BY batch_id; — batch volume reporting.
  • SELECT person_id, no_show_flag, sevis_user_id FROM apps.igs_sv_ev_status_blk_v WHERE no_show_flag = 'Y'; — no-show audit extract for a batch run.

These queries support SEVIS transmission preparation, reconciliation, and compliance reporting, and are commonly embedded in concurrent program logic or custom OAF/Forms-based screens within the IGS module.
