Overview

IGS_SV_UPD_STDT_BLK_V is a PL/SQL view owned by the APPS schema within the IGS (Student System) product of Oracle E-Business Suite. Its documented purpose is to obtain information for the XML block describing updated student information, which is generated as part of SEVIS reporting under the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) functionality in the Student System module. The view acts as a structured data provider that assembles person-level batch data into a flat record set suitable for XML generation and downstream reporting or integration with external compliance interfaces.

The name reflects its role: "UPD_STDT_BLK" indicates an "updated student" XML block, and the view supplies the columns needed to populate that block. Because the view is documented as a VIEW with VALID status in the APPS schema, it is a supported read-only object that can be referenced directly in SQL queries and report definitions. In Oracle EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, such views are typically consumed by concurrent programs, XML publishers, or BI Publisher report templates that produce SEVIS batch output.

The view exposes a PRINT_FORM column, which is directly relevant to the search term "print_form." This column likely indicates whether a given person's record should be included in a printed SEVIS form output, making the view relevant to form printing and compliance reporting workflows.

Underlying Base Objects

The view is defined over two documented base tables in the IGS schema:

The join condition links each person record to its batch via BATCH_ID, and the WHERE clause filters to batches of BATCH_TYPE = 'I' (initial/update batches) where the person RECORD_STATUS is 'C' (completed or certified, depending on the coding convention). No additional documented base objects are listed in the ETRM metadata, and the view is a straightforward two-table join without aggregation or set operators.

Key Columns

  • BATCH_ID — identifier of the SEVIS batch to which the person record belongs.
  • PERSON_ID — internal person identifier, key to the student/visitor record.
  • PRINT_FORM — flag controlling whether the record's SEVIS form is printed; directly tied to form output processing.
  • PDSO_USER_ID — SEVIS user ID from the batch header (Principal Designated School Official context).
  • SEVIS_USER_ID — SEVIS user ID from the person record.
  • PERSON_NUMBER — a zero-padded, left-trimmed ten-character representation derived from the first ten characters of PERSON_ID.
  • RECORD_NUMBER — sequential record number within the batch.
  • PERSON_ID_LONG — a fourteen-character zero-padded representation of PERSON_ID.
  • REPRINT_REASON — derived from REPRINT_RSN_CODE, but suppressed (set to NULL) when the code equals '11'.
  • REPRINT_REMARKS — free-text remarks accompanying a reprint request.
  • VERIFY — set to 'Y' when REPRINT_RSN_CODE equals '06', otherwise NULL.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Typical use cases include generating the SEVIS updated-student XML block, driving form printing decisions through PRINT_FORM, and auditing reprint requests by reason code. A basic query retrieving all columns for a batch is:

  • SELECT * FROM APPS.IGS_SV_UPD_STDT_BLK_V WHERE BATCH_ID = :p_batch_id;
  • SELECT PERSON_ID, PERSON_NUMBER, PRINT_FORM FROM APPS.IGS_SV_UPD_STDT_BLK_V WHERE PRINT_FORM = 'Y';
  • SELECT BATCH_ID, PERSON_ID, REPRINT_REASON, VERIFY FROM APPS.IGS_SV_UPD_STDT_BLK_V WHERE REPRINT_REASON IS NOT NULL;

Because the view filters on BATCH_TYPE = 'I' and RECORD_STATUS = 'C', results are restricted to eligible, completed SEVIS batch-person combinations, which makes it safe to use directly in compliance reporting without additional status filtering. Queries should reference the APPS schema prefix when run outside an APPS session.
