Hi,
You can do it via personalizations if the fields are in the VO's Query.

Regarding the workflow notification page customization

Hello Everyone...
I am new to Oracle OAF...
Customize the Oracle Workflow Notifications page (for Open Notifications) by using OA Framework Customization (to display more details on the Notification)
what is solution for this component?
could someone help me out in this task plz...

You need to check how the notifications are getting created. Please download the workflow from instance and check the logic of the notification creation. That should give ideas on customizations involved.

How to Implement the Search page for Workflow Notifications?

Hi All,
I want to implement the new Search page for Workflow Notifications. Search page containing Company, Paygroup, Source, Initiator, Supplier Name, From date & To date fields. These fields(Poplist & Calendar) are getting the values from different tables and these fields are not in WF_NOTIFICATIONS table only Initiator & dates are there. After selecting the values in all fields or one field based upon these values I want to display the all Workflow Notifications ( Those are satisfy the search criteria only not all ) in Advance Worklist Table RN in the Notifications page. Is it possible to create the Search page based upon the above scenario if Yes Let me know how to implement this search page for Workflow. Page was designed but how to get the sortlisted Notifications and how to pass these values to next page?
Thanks in advance.

Workflow notifications customization

Hi All,
I want to know on the notification's page, can we customize the page to display a custom attribute under the type name.
Example
Type Subject Sent Status
PO Approval PO:= 2234 needs 11-Oct-2001 Open
In the above case the PO Approval is the Display name of the item type of PO Approval workflow, is there a way to customize it in a way so we can display a attribute value there...
Thanks
Ashish

I do not think you can customize the main Workflow Notification page (even though it is possible, but it is not supported) -- Please log a SR to confirm this with Oracle support.
Thanks,
Hussein

Workflow Notification Mailer continues to fail with a STOPPED_ERROR component status

We are running the E-Business Suite version 12.1.3 (Standard) on Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-bit). Multi-Org enabled. We just applied over the weekend RUP 7 patch 18004477. We have several seeded and customized workflows running (HR, BENEFITS, GRC, AP, AR etc).
The Workflow Notification Mailer continues to stop in error with this message in fnd_svc_components:
STOPPED_ERROR - Maximum number of errors (10000) have been reached for this Service Component -> oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsc.ProcessorException: An unexpected RuntimeException or Throwable occurred -> java.lang.NullPointerException
It only runs for a few minutes before ending in error.
I attached the last Workflow Notification Mailer log entries begining around where the component exited with the error above. I suspect that one of the error messages above is the problem. I can send more of the log if necessary.
Due the error message above regarding the maximum number errors we have updated wf_notifications and wf_items table for any rows that are 'WFERROR' to CLOSED status and to a mail_status of SENT. In wf_items we set the end_date to the sysdate for the items where the item type = 'WFERROR'. Despite this we are still receiving this error with the Workflow Notification Mailer.
Does anyone have an idea what is causing the component to shut down with this message? I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue that we are having.
Thank you, Greg

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.
Laurent.

KIMYONG: Outbound Workflow Notification Event Message 를 tracking하는 방법

Purpose
Outbound Workflow Notification Event Message 가 발송됐으나 user가 받아보지 못한경우 가 발생했으나 user
이를 tracking하는 방법을 알아보고자 한다.
Solution
1. notification 이 발송될때 oracle.apps.wf.notification.send event발생한다
event key 로 Notification ID 를 사용한다.
2. 다음 조건에서만 The e-mail notification이 발송된다.
i) Notification status is OPEN or CANCELED
ii) Notification mail_status is MAIL or INVALID
SELECT status, mail_status
FROM wf_notifications
WHERE notification_id = '&nid';
iii) Recipient Role has a valid e-mail address and notification preference is in the format MAIL%
SELECT email_address,
nvl(WF_PREF.get_pref(name, 'MAILTYPE'),notification_preference)
FROM wf_roles
WHERE name = upper('&recipient_role');
iv) Workflow Deferred Agent Listener is running
v) Workflow Notification Mailer is running
3. e-mail로 발송되기전 message가 2번 정지한다.
Raised --> WF_DEFERRED Queue --> Processed by Deferred Agent Listener --> WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT Queue --> Processed by Notification Mailer and sent as e-mail
4. oracle.apps.wf.notification.send을 dispatch 할때 error가 발생하면
message 는WF_ERROR queue에 enqueue되고 .
Error Agent Listener 가 WF_XML.Error_Rule 을 수행하는 oracle.apps.wf.notification.send 의
ERROR subscription 을 dispatch합니다.
5. notification id 와 WF_DEFERRED and WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue 의 message stauts 등을 확인하기 위해 $FND_TOP/sql/wfmlrdbg.sql 를 수행합니다.
PROCESSED in WF_DEFERRED - The message is enqueued to WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT
PROCESSED in WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT - The message is sent as e-mail
READY in WF_DEFERRED - Check if Deferred Agent Listener is running
READY in WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT - Check if Notification Mailer is running
6. notification id 의 outbound XML message 를 분석합니다.
. The wfmlrdbg.sql output provides the XML message generated by WF_XML.Generate at the time the script is run. If the original XML message used by the mailer is required to be analyzed following SQL may be used.
SELECT tab.user_data.text_lob text_lob
FROM applsys.aq$wf_notification_out tab
WHERE dbms_lob.instr(tab.user_data.text_lob,'&1') > 0
7. 필요하다면 WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue 를 rebuild 합니다.
The wfntfqup.sql script rebuilds the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue by dropping and recreating
that queue, removing pending notification messages from the WF_DEFERRED queue, and
repopulating the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue from the Oracle Workflow Notification System
tables.
Wfntfqup.sql Version >=115.9
If you have implemented Oracle Alert and the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue contains any pending
alert e-mail messages, those messages must be processed before the queue can be rebuilt. The
wfntfqup.sql script checks the queue for any alert e-mail messages and, if it finds any, the
script returns an error message that specifies how many alert e-mail messages are pending
and indicates that these messages must be processed before the script can run.
Wfntfqup.sql Version <= 115.8
If you have implemented Oracle Alert and the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue contains any pending
alert e-mail messages, those messages must be processed before the queue can be rebuilt. The
wfntfqup.sql script checks the queue for any alert e-mail messages and, if it finds any,
exits without performing any changes.
Stop Notification Mailer, rebuild Mailer Queue using $FND_TOP/patch/115/sql/wfntfqup.sql.

ORACLE WORKFLOW NOTIFICATION MAILER START 방법
============================================
PURPOSE
Notification Mailer를 background에서 running 시키고,unix account의 logging out 후에도 지속적으로 running 시킬뿐 아니라 standard output 및 error message를 각각 저장할 수 있게 workflow unix user로 workflow mailer를 start 할 수 있다.
Explanation
nohup $ORACLE_HOME/bin/wfmail.snd -f <config_file>
1>mailer.log 2>mailer_err.log &
where <config_file> is $ORACLE_HOME/wf/res/wfmail.cfg
Alternatively, you can do the following to start the Notification Mailer without specifying the CONNECT parameter & value in the above step: Create Mailer Configuration file as the password parameter in the $ORACLE_HOME/wf/res/wfmail.cfg file is in clear text and poses a security problem.
nohup $ORACLE_HOME/bin/wfmail.snd -f $ORACLE_HOME/wf/res/wfmail.cfg owf_mgr/password@connect_string 1>mailer.log 2>mailer_err.log &
(Please note that even this method of running the Oracle Workflow Notification Mailer is not entirely secure in the sense that if anybody who has access to the middle-tier can always do a “/usr/ucb/ps -auxwww | grep wfmail.snd” and get the CONNECT information).

How do I add the customer's name to Workflow Notification email subject line?

How do I add the customer's name to Workflow Notification email subject line?
I'm expecting that I need to add a tag, but I'm not sure what the correct tag would be, I have tried a few but it just writes the tag I inserted and not the customer's name.
Thanks

This is something you can not add at the moment. You can change the layout a bit of workflow notifications from the system but you can not change the subjects at this time to render a system tag like that.

OAF page in the workflow notification

Hi,
I have a custom OAF page and a custom workflow. When the page is submitted, i am invoking the workflow. I was just wondering if i can put the page screen shot in the workflow notification so that the users doesn't have to worry about logging back into the page to check the details. Is there any option?
Thanks

Hi,
Including the custom page in the notification is fine. But what i find was generally we will call workflow to send messages to the other person based on the business requirement at that time inclusion of page in notification may not be good.
