Overview

IGS_SV_EV_CRT_PRGM_V is a database view owned by the APPS schema in Oracle E-Business Suite, delivered as part of the Student Systems / Student Records (IGS) product family. The view presents program information submitted by students through the Student Self-Service subject validation and evaluation workflow. Its defining characteristic is its narrow, presentation-oriented projection: rather than exposing the full breadth of the underlying staging table, it surfaces a small set of columns that map directly to a batch of student program submissions. In EBS 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 the view behaves identically from a SQL perspective, since views of this type contain no editioning or online-patching logic that would alter their shape between releases.

The view serves reporting and integration roles rather than transactional purposes. External interfaces, concurrent program extracts, and custom reports use it to read validated program records in a denormalised, ready-to-consume form without needing to know the internal structure of the staging table.

Underlying Base Objects

The view is defined over a single referenced object: IGS_SV_PRGMS_INFO, aliased as PRGM. The ETRM metadata formally documents no other referenced base objects, and the view text confirms this — the SELECT statement draws exclusively from that one table with no joins, unions, or inline subqueries. No WHERE clause, GROUP BY, or DISTINCT is applied, so the view is a straightforward pass-through projection that exposes every row of IGS_SV_PRGMS_INFO with a subset of its columns, three of them renamed through column aliases.

Because there is no filtering, row counts in the view always equal row counts in the base table. This has practical consequences: the view cannot be relied upon to return only validated or approved submissions, and any predicate restricting status, batch, or person must be applied by the consuming query.

Key Columns

• BATCH_ID — The batch identifier associated with the program submission. This is the primary grouping key for extracting a set of related records and is the column most commonly used to reconcile an extract back to a specific processing run.
• PERSON_ID — The internal party identifier of the student or applicant to whom the program record belongs. It joins to the standard person tables (for example PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F) for biographical detail.
• POSITION_CODE — The position code carried on the record, exposed under its original name.
• SUBJECT_FIELD_CODE — The subject field code for the program record. This is the column most frequently targeted in ad hoc queries and the term under which this view is typically discovered; it identifies the academic subject field associated with the submission.
• SUBJECT_REMARKS — The free-text remarks column, aliased from the base table's REMARKS column. The alias is significant: querying the view requires the name SUBJECT_REMARKS, not REMARKS.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The principal use cases are batch-level extraction for downstream systems, validation reporting on subject field capture, and reconciliation of student submissions against person records. A minimal extraction for a given batch is:

SELECT batch_id, person_id, position_code, subject_field_code, subject_remarks FROM apps.igs_sv_ev_crt_prgm_v WHERE batch_id = :p_batch_id;

To analyse subject field distribution across submissions:

SELECT subject_field_code, COUNT(*) FROM apps.igs_sv_ev_crt_prgm_v GROUP BY subject_field_code ORDER BY 2 DESC;

To join to person data for a personalised report:

SELECT v.person_id, p.full_name, v.subject_field_code, v.subject_remarks FROM apps.igs_sv_ev_crt_prgm_v v, apps.per_all_people_f p WHERE v.person_id = p.person_id AND TRUNC(SYSDATE) BETWEEN p.effective_start_date AND p.effective_end_date;

Because the view carries no filtering and no status column, queries that must exclude incomplete or unvalidated submissions should join back to IGS_SV_PRGMS_INFO or an associated status table. The absence of documented referential constraints in the ETRM metadata also means that orphaned PERSON_ID values and null subject field codes should be anticipated and handled defensively in production extracts.
