Digitally responding to the notification sent by workflow

Hi,
I have a requirement that states that the response to a notification needs to be electronically/digitally signed by the end user. I went through the documentations related to workflows and it states something about a message attribute by the name "#WF_SIG_POLICY Attribute". Has anyone used this ? Any info on this would be helpful.
Also what is the setup required for being able to implement digital signatures.
Thanks and Regards
-DD

There is some detail about this attribute in the WF Developer Guide - see page 3-38 in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B53825_01/current/acrobat/121wfdg.pdf

Capturing the Actual Responder for a notification sent to a Distribution List in Outlook

Hello All,
Morning , need some guidance on the issue mentioned below which we are currently facing.
We had a requirement to send Oracle Workflow Notification to a Distribution List maintained within Microsoft Outlook Mail client/server. The email address of the users which are part of the DL would be setup in this DL . lets say this DL has the
mailing address as : [email protected] which has 4 users in it let's say Oracle Apps FND users : A (email id - [email protected]), B (email id - [email protected]) , C(email id - [email protected]) , D (email id - [email protected]) with their respective email address . This email address within Oracle Apps would be linked at the FND User setup as well as in the HRMS Employee Setup --. Official details section
For this we created a ad hoc role name : 'Role_abcd' as below , then set ad hoc role attribute as shown below ( in the display name and email address we specify the email address created for the Distribution List )
wf_directory.createadhocrole
                                       (role_name                    => 'Role_abcd',
                                        role_display_name            => 'Role_abcd',
                                        notification_preference      => 'MAILATTH'
wf_directory.setadhocroleattr
                                      (role_name                    => 'Role_abcd',
                                       display_name                 => '[email protected]',
                                       email_address                => '[email protected]',
                                       notification_preference      => 'MAILATTH' );
Finally we set the Notification Performer
Item Attribute (Next_Approver) and assign the role name ('Role_abcd') created above to this performer :
wf_engine.setitemattrtext (itemtype      => p_in_itemtype,
                                       itemkey       => p_in_itemkey,
                                       aname         => 'NEXT_APPROVER',
                                       avalue        => 'Role_abcd' );
Now we are able to successfully send the workflow notifications to this Outlook DL and all the 4 users : A,B,C & D would get the same notification to their email address mentioned as a part of the DL.
Issue :
Now lets say user A Approves this notification from email notification itself using mail id : [email protected] , In this scenario the Responder name which is getting captured in the wf_notifications table is not consistent , sometimes it is getting populated as : email:[email protected] and sometimes as the value for the recipient role/original recipient itself : Role_abcd .This appears to be wrong
Ideally this responder column in wf_notifications table should get populated as ( email:[email protected] ) so that we could identify as to which person within the DL has responded to the notification.
Could someone please help as to how this could be acheived (to identify the actual responder for workflow notification sent to a Outlook Distribution List
Thanks

The following is the criteria when responding notification from email.
1. If there is no user/role exists for the email address from which the notification is responded, the responder column value will be in the form 'email:[email protected]'.
2. If there is only one user/role exists for the email address, then responder column value will be populated with that particular user/role.
3. If there are multiple user/roles with the same email address, then responder column value will be populated with the user in the following preference order
     PER -> FND_USR -> OTHERS
What is the customer code lne.
The fix mentioned in step3 was given in 12.1.3 only. The earlier versions have the responder column value will be in the form 'email:[email protected]' if there are multiple users exists for the same email address.

Hi
Thanks a lot for the reply
Can you pls send me Amy information to confirm your claim
--"mailer will ignore the attachment while responding"
1)
Pls don't mistake me.I may need to reply to my superiors
With a solid proof like passage from user guide etc.,
I saw some use OAF page integration to WF notifications.
Even that kind of OAF notifications won't
Help in my scenario ?
2) Is there a workaroud..My buisiness requirement is to open notification AND upload a documentation AND click Submit button.

HTML button in the eMail notification sent by Workflow

I have a workflow which send eMail notification to the users. I want to add 2 HTML buttons for approve and reject on this email notification.
For this I have embedded the following HTML snippet in the advanced properties (Message Body) of the email action in the workflow -
<!DOCTYPE html><HTML xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" xmlns:v = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:m = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml"><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE> <META content="text/html; charset=us-ascii" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 10.00.9200.17183"></HEAD> <BODY> <IMG style="TEXT-ALLIGN: left" src="../Site%20Assets/abc_icon.png"> ******************************************         Styled Workflow eMail ****************************************** Full Name: [%Current Item:FullName%] <INPUT id=btnApprove type=button value=Approve>  <INPUT id=btnReject type=button value=Reject></BODY></HTML>
<!DOCTYPE html><HTML xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" xmlns:v = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word"

Styled Workflow eMail ****************************************** Full Name: [%Current Item:FullName%] <INPUT id=btnApprove type=button value=Approve>  <INPUT id=btnReject type=button value=Reject></BODY></HTML>
However when the user receives the mail, the buttons appear as plain text. Moreover the images are also missing.
Am I missing any specific configuration? Is there anything more that needs to be done to render a HTML button and images in an email generated from a workflow?
I would appreciate, if anyone could please help me resolve this issue.

Hi Arghadip Kar,
Im glad you liked my name. )
Anyhoo, you are correct. A Task is used. I checked in SWI1 and the task associated with the mail is TS90000101. (not a ws) Does this help at all?
In the Business Process, it is the part where the system informs a Training coordinator that a training request by an employee have been approved by his/her manager.
Do I still check the FM below or are there any other way given the info above?
Thank you!

How to include sap work item in the email sent by workflow - WS01700044

Hi,
In FSCM Dispute Management, we have a requirment to include the sap work item in the email being sent by the workflow - WS01700044.
The underlying task in it is TS01707928. This Task sends an email to the outlook as well as work item to SAP inbox.
We want to include Sap Work item in email being sent to the outlook.
This will help the users to process the workitem directly from the email instead of going to SAP Inbox to process the work items.
Please suggest the possible ways.
Thank you.
Vijay

Sadly, I believe this will require a bit of development to make it happen. The project I'm on now...we are finding that to get it to do what we want it to do, a development to customize the email message to include all the case fields is required.

How do I change the notifications sent to me from Facebook on my MacBook to a different account?

Someone allowed Facebook to use their account for messages to be sent to my laptop, but when I went to change it to my account, I was unable to find where to change it.

System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars > Facebook > click the "–" toward the bottom left of the window.
To add a new Facebook account, click the + button and choose Facebook.

How to handle the Notification Responsses

I have created a custom process for journal approval workflow for routing the notifications and handling them. My process has a function activity which creates a custom role and assigns users to that custom role which is working fine. The notification is being sent to all the users in that role, Lets say 5 users. if any of them approves the notification, the process is ending with the status of approve. But my requirement is to get the responses from all the recipients and if there is one rejection response, the total batch should get rejected. For the non responding recipients the reminder notification should be sent after 2 days....
Out of 5 recipients, if one recipient responds to the notification the status of the notification is closed for the responder and the notification status is cancelled for the non responders as found in the wf_notifications table, How can we keep the notification open until they respond to it??
Now i am using the standard notification activity with the result type of Approval, I guess i may have to use the VOTE YES/NO??
Please Advise.....

Tracking notifications sent from BPM process - User Messaging Service

Hi,
I have a requirement to track the notifications sent from all the BPM processes in one place.
My Requirement is to (1. Check the status, sender, receiver of the notification, 2. view the actual content of the notification, 3. Resend the notification)
Few options I have explored are below. Need experts advice please
1. Enterprise Manager gives the option to check each notification status and option to resend the message. I have two problems with this option
     a) It does not solve my requirement of 'viewing the content of the message'. It does not show what is the actual message content. though we can see other notification details like sender, receiver etc...
     b) users does not want to go to enterprise manager. They need a separate UI based on ADF.
2. Tried to build a UI based on UMS EJB API and UMS WebService API. Both the APIs provide the operations to check the status of the message. But there is no API that returns the actual content of the message
     a) It does not solve my requirement of 'viewing the content of the message'. Both the APIs does not expose any operation to retrieve the message/message content. I see AccessPoint as one options but, In my      case, Application need to track the messages sent to all the users, not particular address.
     b) There is no operation exposed to resend the message. Not sure how it is being done through enterprise manager.
3. Tried by directly accessing the ORASDPM schema of UMS to fetch the content of the message. found that the content of the message is stored in 'MESSAGE_OBJECT' Blob column of 'MESSAGE' table.
     Built an ADF application based on ORASDPM schema. Following issues:
     a) could not parse the BLOB column data. Tried using a blob converter which converts the stream to text. but the conversion is not happening properly.
     b) Need to figure out how to resend the message.
My environment: Oracle 11g , JDeveloper 11g Release 1 11.1.1.6.0
Thanks in Advance.

In new ios 7 where did my draft email go after I responded to a notification?

While typing a new email (in Mail on new ios 7 - on ipad2) a VIP notification banner arrived. I clicked on the banner to see the incoming email. It brought me to the email but when I was done reading it, the email I was in the middle of writing had disappeared.
It is not in the drafts file for that account. And just in case, I checked every accounts drafts folder and trash too.
Did ios 7 just evaporate my draft just because I responded to the notification??
Finding many issues like this in ios.
Thanks.

I don't think Gmail has an "outbox" - I don't use thier Google "Offline" which I think might include some form of an outbox, but I don't see how a message could go there if I haven't set anything up.
Thanks.

You need to modify the region NotifPGRN in specified in the path.
Go to Functional Administrator and give the path /oracle/apps/ap/invoice/request/negotiation/webui/NotifPGRN.

Notification sent to all users in a role when some of them responded in first reminde

Hi,
We have a workflow using (voteforresult, standard voting method) sending notifications to users via role. Sends first notification times out sends second one. If some users responded to notification in first email it still sends email to all users second time. Is it not suppose to send email only to
users who hasn't responded.
Example: ROLE01 has USER01, USER02, USER03. Sends email to all three, USER01 responds
after first timeout cancellation is sent to USER02 & USER03 and new notification (second one)
to all three even though USER01 has responded.
thanks,
Sridhar.

Hi Mark,
Thanks very much for response.
Does post notification function also resolves who has responded first time in a role and sends
notification only to others. Like in the example below
Example: ROLE01 has USER01, USER02, USER03. Sends email to all three, USER01 responds,
after first timeout cancellation is sent to USER02 & USER03 and second notification
to all three even though USER01 has responded. What we are looking for is sending
second notification only to USER02, USER03 who has not responded first time.
If there is a standard package or an example which i can look at would of great help.
thanks again,
Sridhar.
See the Workflow Guide on Post Notification Functions:
You can associate a post-notification function with a notification activity. The Workflow Engine executes the post-notification function in response to an update of the notification's state after the notification is delivered. For example, you can specify a post-notification function that executes when the notification recipient forwards or transfers the notification. The post-notification function could perform back-end logic to either validate the legitimacy of the forward/transfer or execute some other supporting logic.
If a notification activity times out, the Workflow Engine runs the post-notification function for the activity in TIMEOUT mode. For a Voting activity, the TIMEOUT mode logic should identify how to tally the votes received up until the timeout.

The wf_notification_out table says that the FYI notification has been sent but the email address that is setup to receive it doesn't receive the notification

Hi All,
We have developed a custom AME approval hierarchy for iRecruitment.
The hierarchy includes delivering FYI notifications as well.
The FYI notification gets generated we can see the FYI notification when we login to oracle apps.
But it is not getting delivered by email.
When we checked wf_notification_out table, it says it is sent.
Can anyone please help us on this.
Thanks,

So help me understand here... Some system sends an email with an attachment to a SharePoint email-enabled library, saving the attachment. This occurs each morning. You then want the SharePoint library to send you an email after each time this happens?
Why not just set up an alert on the library instead of workflow? Or have the source system send out the alert as well?

Email sent from workflow is sent to the SAP inbox instead of OUTLOOK.

Hi All,
We have an email send step added in the workflow. In this step the address is a USERID.
Also in SU01 the email and communication method (Remote mail) is maintained properly.
So whenever the email is sent via workflow, email is supposed to be sent to OUTLOOK and at least a entry should be present in SOST transaction but this is not happening. Instaed the email is going into SAP Inbox documents.
All settings in SCOT is maintained.
This is happening for a perticualar agents only.
Is there any other setting needed to be done inorder to sent emails to OUTLOOK.
And once the setting is done how much time it need to reflect the changes.
Please help.

Hi Swapnil,
You need to create a background method for this, use FM SWW_SRV_MAIL_SEND to send an email to the outlook instead of sap. This is one way.
Otherwise,
You can use a step type notification email, in that you need to choose the recipient type as email address and specify the email address.
