Overview

IGS_SV_EV_PROG_DUM_V is a database view within the Oracle E-Business Suite Student System (IGS) product family. It belongs to the SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) integration layer, which supports regulatory reporting to the United States Department of Homeland Security for international students and exchange visitors. The view is documented as obsolete within ETRM 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, and it is not implemented in the reference database against which the metadata was captured.

The stated purpose of the view is to fetch program information for Exchange Visitor students. In practice, the projection exposes person, batch, and SEVIS identity attributes alongside print and reprint information used in the generation of SEVIS-related forms. The object functions as a reporting and data-extraction layer rather than as a transactional entity. Its naming convention, with the _V suffix, confirms it is a view presenting a read-only, denormalized result set assembled from one or more SEVIS staging tables.

Underlying Base Objects

The view text references two base objects: IGS_SV_PERSONS, aliased as PERS, and IGS_SV_BTCH_SUMMARY, aliased as PROGSUMM. No additional referenced base objects are documented in the ETRM metadata. The join is an inner equijoin on PERSON_ID and BATCH_ID, meaning a row is returned only where a person record and a corresponding batch summary record share both identifiers.

Three predicates constrain the result set. First, PERS.RECORD_STATUS must equal 'C', restricting output to completed person records. Second, PROGSUMM.TAG_CODE must equal 'SV_PRGMS', isolating the program-tagged batch summary rows. Third, PROGSUMM.ADM_ACTION_CODE must equal 'SEND', selecting only those actions designated for transmission. Collectively these filters align the view with the exchange visitor program submission process.

Key Columns

  • BATCH_ID — Identifier of the SEVIS batch to which the person record belongs; used to group output by processing run.
  • PDSO_SEVIS_ID — SEVIS identifier of the Principal Designated School Official associated with the record.
  • PERSON_ID — Internal person identifier from IGS_SV_PERSONS, also used as the join key to the batch summary.
  • PRINT_FORM — Indicator controlling whether a form is to be printed for the record.
  • SEVIS_USER_ID — SEVIS user identifier of the operator or system account responsible for the submission.
  • RECORD_NUMBER — Sequence or record number within the batch, supporting ordering and reconciliation.
  • PERSON_NUMBER — A zero-padded ten-character derivation of PERSON_ID, produced with LTRIM and TO_CHAR using the '0000000000' format mask.
  • PERSON_ID_LONG — A fourteen-character zero-padded derivation of PERSON_ID, using the '00000000000000' format mask, providing a wider fixed-width key.
  • REPRINT_REASON — The reprint reason code copied from PERS.REPRINT_RSN_CODE; this is the column most directly relevant to the "reprint_remarks" search.
  • REPRINT_REMARKS — Conditionally derived via DECODE. When REPRINT_RSN_CODE equals '05', the value is set to NULL; otherwise it returns the underlying REPRINT_REMARKS value.
  • OTHER_REMARKS — The complementary derivation: when REPRINT_RSN_CODE equals '05', it returns REPRINT_REMARKS; otherwise NULL.

The DECODE pair effectively splits a single source remarks column into two logical destinations based on reason code '05', allowing downstream form logic to route narrative text to the appropriate field without altering the stored data.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Typical usage centers on batch preparation for SEVIS exchange visitor program transmission and on reprint form generation. A common query retrieves all qualifiable records for a batch, exposing the reprint attributes directly:

  • SELECT batch_id, person_id, person_number, person_id_long, reprint_reason, reprint_remarks, other_remarks FROM igs_sv_ev_prog_dum_v WHERE batch_id = :batch_id ORDER BY record_number;
  • SELECT batch_id, COUNT(*) FROM igs_sv_ev_prog_dum_v WHERE reprint_reason IS NOT NULL GROUP BY batch_id;
  • SELECT person_id, reprint_reason FROM igs_sv_ev_prog_dum_v WHERE reprint_reason = '05' AND other_remarks IS NOT NULL;

Because the view applies fixed filters on RECORD_STATUS, TAG_CODE, and ADM_ACTION_CODE, callers cannot override those restrictions and must treat the view as a purpose-built extraction rather than a general-purpose person query. Given its obsolete status and absence from the documented database, implementations still referencing IGS_SV_EV_PROG_DUM_V should be reviewed for replacement against supported SEVIS views.
