Activating workflow notifications by default

Hi!
We did all the necessary steps to configure workflow notification emails and when activated, the workflow notifications are working fine.
However, I fear that most users will forget to activate email notifications, since one has to click "Show advanced options" and select the appropriate option in the drop down box upon creation of a new workflow. (It's not possible to activate the notification option after a workflow has been created with notifications switched off.)
Is there any way to default to "always send notification emails" when a user creates a new workflow?
Thanks!
Jens

Hi Patricio,
I'm sorry it took me a while to get back to you. For some reason I didn't receive a notification email for this thread (although I should have) and thus thought no one had posted an answer.
Speaking of notification emails:
Thanks a lot for your answer and for pointing me to the chapter in the SAP help. In the meantime I spent several hours browsing the SAP help files, browsing the portal configuration and reading a SAP PDF on the subject ("How To... Configure the Univeral Worklist").
Unfortunately I could not make significant progress, since the UWL configuration seems to be scattered all over lots of different places in the portal.
This question may sound silly, but could you please point me to the exact spot where I can configure the Workflow Notification Settings you mentioned?
Thanks again for your efforts!
Jens

Change Distribution in a active AP Invoice Approval workflow notification.

Hi Experts,
My client is using oracle 11i, we are in the process of configuring the oracle payable invoice approval workflow using AME.
We have a requirement where in the person who receives the workflow notifications should be able to modify the distribution in the invoice.
The approver may not have the Oracle Payable responsibility.
Is it possible? If yes then how?
Regards,

Hi,
Using the Sysadmin responsibility, please submit "Workflow Background Process" with the below parameters and see if it helps:

Workflow notification to multiple users

Hello,
We have developed a custom workflow and XX_APPROVER is the workflow attribute where we pass UserID, to whom notification should be sent and it works fine.
But now we need to have that notification sent to multiple users. What is the best possible way to achieve this?

How to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails

We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow that sends emails when certain criteria are met. We have tried to customize the emails using SharePoint Designer, but the emails that are received are different.
Ho do we configure SharePoint to send the emails formatted as we specified in the workflow?
The emails we receive are all formatted like this:
Subject:
[Company Name Workflow] - [Item] has been assigned to you
Content:
Task assigned by [User Name] on [Date].
To complete this task:
1.   Review [Item].
2.   Perform the specific activities required for this task.
3.   Use the Open this task button to mark the task as completed. (If you cannot update this task, you might not have access to it. Click here to request access.)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails.
We’ll need to do a few things to replace SharePoint’s default notification with our own. The first thing we need to do is turn off SharePoint’s default notification. On the Workflow Tasks list, go the Advanced Settings and select
No for Send e-mail when ownership is assigned. Then we need to create workflow to send email.
There is an article for your reference, although it is about the SharePoint 2007, it still works for SharePoint 2013.

How can I include a Credit Mgmt Case Folder URL in a workflow notification?

I have a requirement to add a URL to a workflow notification, which is easy enough. The issue I am having is that I am not able to create a URL that successfully opens the Credit Management Case Folder that is specified in the worflow notification.
I am only able to get the URL to launch the following successfully: http://<ce:0000>/OA_HTML/RF.jsp?function_id=16351&resp_id=23916&resp_appl_id=222&security_group_id=0&lang_code=US
Has anyone else solved this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

We are using eBusiness Suite 11.5.10.2, 10g database
I created a woflow attribute of type URL.
Name: Case Folder Link
Frame Target: New Window
Value: http://<instance>/OA_HTML/RF.jsp?function_id=16351&resp_id=23916&resp_appl_id=222&security_group_id=0&lang_code=US
I then added the following line to add the URL attribute to the HTML message body.
Case Folder Link : &CASE_FOLDER_LINK
When using the link above I don't get any error message. However when I try to change the URL to a specific case folder URL (Note this URL should change depending on the Case Folder # provided in the notification message.):
http://<instance>/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?_rc=ARCMANALYSISDATACRDSUMMARYPAGE&_ri=222&retainAM=Y&cmSubRegion=PARTYREGION&cmPartyId=%7B!!k5vkXUpUCWxLhSZj.uqBHQ%7D&cmCustAccountId=%7B!!lBrDTc7.B3E6QA-16tJNIw%7D&cmSiteUseId=%7B!!7jcW1qvgKOeEFCpFYCanSA%7D&OAHP=ARCMMENUAPPLICATION&OASF=ARCMANALYSISDATACRDSUMMARY&_ti=1687529995&oapc=9&oas=GiXPV8nU9RQ6Ej53zIESsw..

How to attach a file fin the middle tier in the workflow notification

My requirement
1) File is there in the middle tier (file name : invoice_99.pdf )
2) From workflow notification I need to read that file (invoice_99.pdf) and
open it from the notification when user click on it
can you please let me know is there any way to handle this

Thiru,
This is not the right forum for this.
Btw, I have done exactly same requirement several times and it's easy to do.
1)Create a Document Attribute and specify to attach it to the notif msg.
2)Create a PL/SQL function activity in workflow
3)In the PL/SQL proc, Load the file using dbms_lob into a LOB and set the attribute using
wf_engine.SetItemAttrText(itemtype      => itemType
,itemkey      => itemkey
,aname      => 'SRQ_REPORT'
,avalue           => 'PLSQLCLOB:xxx_gbl_wf.get_pdf_quote/'||v_report_request_id||':'||v_qot_number);
Hope this helps

Error with hyperlink to open a form in Workflow Notification

Hi All,
I am trying to create a hyperlink to open a form in Workflow Notification. I want to open "Prepare Mass Additions" form from my workflow. I am in R12 (12.1.3) and there is no parameters defined for this function.
So i am trying the method given here:
http://oracleappsnotes.wordpress.com/2011/04/15/accessing-oracle-forms-from-workflow/
Below is a summary of steps from this blog:
Register a new custom form function with a parameter CREATE_BATCH_ID. Function name is XXFAXMADDS. Its just the seeded FAXMADDS form function, just with the addition of parameter.
Create an attribute of type ‘Form’ which stores the name of the form function and the parameter with which we want to call it. The default value of the attribute is XXFAXMADDS:CREATE_BATCH_ID=&BATCH_ID
In a workflow process include a notification message.
Associate the attribute with the notification message
Personalize the new form function, to add actions to assign the value of parameter to the form field, then goto the Find Button, and click it.
    When i click on the link in notification, I am getting the below errors:
    FRM-47023: No Such parameter named G_QUERY_FIND exists inform FAXMADDS
    FRM-40105: Unable to resolve reference to item PARAMETER:G_QUERY_FIND
    FRM-47023: No such parameter named CREATE_BATCH_ID exists in form FAXMADDS.
    Why is this error? Why it is referring to G_QUERY_FIND which i have not at all used?
Thanks
Manu

Hi Hussein,
Clearing cache or bouncing application did not help. And now i am noticing that the value of this attribute does not change according to the changes i make in workflow builder.
Also, i tried by updating the workflow attribute from Workflow Admin, retried the notification and tried the link again. No help.
I tried updating attribute to just the standard form function name, still same errors!

Human Workflow Notifications Emails - Turn these Off?

All,
We have built an application that uses Oracle BPM and sginificant number of Human Tasks. We have also configured the Email notifications to allow SOA to send emails through our generic fault framework.
The issue we have is as a result of this, we are now sending Task Notifications to the users in the Task Assignee group for each task created. This is because the users in LDAP have their email properties set. These can not be removed as it is based on LDAP / AD.
Is there away to allow emails to be sent via the Email Notifications but turn off the Human Workflow Task Notifications? Unless I am missing something fundamental, I cant see a way to do this.
The Email driver was set as per http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/integration.1111/e10226/hwf_config.htm#BHCJDGFJ. Hence the email driver for the UMS is configured and the Worklist Notifications is configured for email. I assumed you need this set for the Email Notifications to work.
Kind Regards
Dave

If you look at the Notification tab on your Human Tasks you can remove the default notifications for Assign, Complete and Error. This will prevent anyone from getting Human Workflow notifications for these tasks.
Thanks,
Adam DesJardin

Workflow notification, where I can control which should send by email

Hi,
In a old version SRM3.5 (but is a general question for most of versions) customer wants some workflow notifications by email, I have activated SO16 option and is working but now customer wants to deliver only some of the notifications by email and SO16 doesn't allow to discriminate.
The SPRO notification option must be activated but only some of them should be delivered by email.
Do you know any BADI or any other form to discriminate that notifications go by email
thanks

Hello Jorge,
Are you talking about recipient notification or approval workflow mail ?
If it is for approval workflow, see my previous response.
On the contrary, if it is about recipient notication, Muthuramam gave you the good way: by customizing, you can define for which document type you allow or not recipient notification.
Regards.

Credit Memo Release Authorization - Workflow Notification

Hello!
Wish to confirm few configuration gaps in Credit Memo Workflow Notification.
The following two workflow templates are delivered in the standard system for credit memo processing, and both had been activated.
 Identification: WS20000009
Identification code: Credit memos
Long text: Credit memo processing
 Identification: WS20000019
Identification code: CMR_CHECK
Long text: Check credit memo requests
This is the functionality we are trying to achieve...
Each user in the sales department is allowed to release credit memo request up to a value of USD 15,000 (No Workflow Notification Works Fine!)
Credit memo requests with a value of between USD 15,000 and USD 50,000 may only be released by the group leader. (Limit L1, workflow notification should be sent to Group Leader Not working)
Credit memo request that exceeds a value of USD 50,000 may only be released by the sales manager. (Limit L2, workflow notification should be sent to sales manager Not Working either)
Issues:
When the credit memo value is L1 or L2 the workflow notification is sent to every one irrespective of the L1 or L2 value. Tried to create custom role resolution Function and used it in WS20000009 / WS20000019, this doesn'tt seem to work either.
I would appreciate if any one who had previously implemented this scenario to share the experience and advice.
Thanks!

I hope you defined binding for your role ?
And passed &CustComplaintOrder.NetValue& to role parameter container ?
would be nice if you provide more info on how you defined your role & how you defined binding.
