11i Workflow

Hello,
We have 11.5.10.2 with IMAP configured for inbound mails.
We are planning for IMAP server (for inbound mails) upgrade. Please let me know what would be impact to the business user duirng outage window.
I know that as IMAP will not be contactable and hence mailer services would be down..however SMTP for outbound will still work....... My question is if during the outage window any END USER raises any PO or any other requisition that require inbound mailer.... does that NID will fail or will be stakced in any queue and will be started automatically once mailer will be brought up..
It would be gr8 if you can provide some links to understand it.
Thanks,
D

Hi Srini,
I don't think email approvals will be sent back to users or will be errored out. I just know tried changing password using UMXPWD with mailer down...during both inbound and outbound excercise mail has not been errored out...it remained in queue and once i brought up the mailer it went through smoothly.
I performed following excercise:
1) Brought the mailer down.
2) clicked 'Forgot Password Link' and asked for password change.
3) No mail recieved as expected... checked the status of NID in wf_notifications, it was their with status open and mail_status=mai...and that is perfectly fine as mailer was unavailable.
4) Brought up the mailer after 5 mins.
5) Recieved mail for approval to change the password.
6) Again brought down the mailer and clicked approve on notification mail.
7) Again no mail recieved with password as expected.
8) Brought up the mailer after 5 mins
9) Mail recieved.
I think i have tested both inbound and outbound mailer .... Outcome i think is Mailer keeps mail in queue during mailer unavailiabilty.

  • How to create a workflow based on std 11i workflow

    How do you create a new workflow process based on one of the std workflows embedded in the 11i apps?
    Thanks,
    Dave.

    Dave, there are a lot of workflows in 11i apps, my best advice would be to read through the Oracle Workflow Guide on Oracle Support Policy for Predefined Workflows, Events, and Subscriptions and to look through Workflow Development guidelines on Appsnet: http://www.oracle.com/appsnet/content.html (scroll down on that page)

  • Oracle Apps 11i - Workflow #WFM_CC attribute

    Hi,
    I read in Using #WFM_CC attribute and Multiple Attachments and Multiple Recipients with CC that Oracle Workflow allows CC and BCC. I have had our DBA check the version of our instance and it seems we already have the version Oracle Applications Technology 11i.ATG_PF.H.delta.5 (RUP 5) applied.
    However, I'm still having problems using CC feature. I added Message Attribute with Internal Name #WFM_CC Type = Text and Source = Send. Also placed 240 for length. For testing purposes I set Default Type to Constant and hard-coded my email address to the Value field. When I run the workflow and check the workflow activities and go to the activity and click the Notification detail page icon to check the message, it doesn't show the Cc field. Only the From, To, Sent and Id are available. Does it show here if there is a Cc value? Currently we have our Notification Mailer off since this is only a development instance so this is the only way I can test it.
    Appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    Allen

    You cannot see the CC field value which you set for message attribute in worklist Notification details page as the CC field is applicable only to email. You need to setup mailer to receive the email notification and verify if the correct CC was was set.Thanks for the tip.
    Will request the DBA to activate our workflow for testing.

  • Workflow Approvals (AME)

    We would like to allow a user that is a final approver in a workflow the ability to change the data she is approving so the workflow does not start over. We have determined that this capability is available, but have been unable to find out if it is possible to enable this setting on one group or if it changes all approver groups in the system to have the same permissions.
    Any help would be appreciated...

    The link works, but you need a Metalink account to get to it. Contact your company's Metalink administrator to see about getting an account.
    The linked page goes over how to build hierarchies in AME which it sounds like you have already done. The way I am reading your question is how to manipulate a specific module's settings to allow or disallow editing of documents being processed in the workflow.
    My experience is on 11i workflows and the earlier frustrating beta AME releases. (although it gave me experience building custom handlers.)
    I do not believe you can limit editing of a document to only one of the approvers in the chain using standard functionality. For example, in the (11i) requisition workflow, the setting is at the document type level. It is simply, "allow approver to modify" and allows for no specification as to WHICH approver can modify.
    Another example, in GL approvals (11i) the journal entry is locked upon submission of approval. An approver has to reject a JE in order for the submitter to modify it and resubmit it. Also, any changes after approval require the workflow to re-process before posting is allowed.
    Most of these restrictions are enforced at the form level (i.e. Journals Entry form is read only if the workflow status is IN PROCESS) so I don't think there is a supportable option.
    If anyone who knows v12 has ideas I would appreciate the information too.
    Good luck,
    - James

    I am developing/assisting in the development of three interfaces from an external system (MFG/PRO) to Oracle.
    ALL OLTP will take place on MFG/PRO and this will be the repository for all information. However, Oracle Projects is being used (in the absence of a suitable project module in MFG/PRO to enable Project managers to monitor progress on their respective projects.
    There are three parts to this.
    All Projects information wil be transferred to the MFG/PRO project table.
    All AP (Voucher and Payment information being entered on the MFG/PRO side) information needs to be transferred to Oracle AP. There is no problem here - a data copy from the MFG/PRO instance (Oracle 8i) into the AP open interface tables will accomplish this with the help of Invoice import.
    I am having problems with data transfer between the MFG/PRO PO module and the Oracle PO module and then into the Projects module.
    Should I load PO data into the PO_REQUISITIONS_INTERFACE table and then use transaction import or try and load data directly into the PO tables per the Open Interface manual to achieve PO matching.
    Anyone's help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Joe:
    I am unsure if this is what you're looking for but to load actuals into PA on one project we utilized the XXX_PA_COMMITMENTS_OUTSIDE_SYS table to import contract (external commitments) into OPC. From there they were visible in the PSI and Expenditure online inquiry screens. Matching was done to the paper contract (that was the client's perferred business process).
    The solution doesn't import into PO, and if you're working in 10.7 NCA I suspect this will be difficult. If you're using 11i workflow may be useful in having PO's entered through an external system and then routed into PO. Again I don't know if I fully understand the problem -- how this helps.

  • Document Management Node Setup

    Should Document Management Node setup be available in 11.5.7 as shown in the Workflow User Guide (pg. 2-31 to 2-33, 4-5 to 4-6, 10-32 to 10-35)? The example in the manual is too generic for my DBA's or Internet people to understand it fully.
    If we are using embedded 11i workflows can we attach WORD documents or Excel spreadsheets to workflow notifications in an HP UNIX environment or do we have to be using a formal document image management system?
    How do we specifically complete the Document Management Nodes screen for a Document Management system's images?
    How do we specifically complete the Document Management Nodes screen for a document created by a PL/SQL procedure?
    If we can attach Microsoft office documents to notifications, how do we complete the Document Management Node screen?
    We are not using e-mail notifications or e-mail summaries. Users are accessing notification screens only.
