How to use PLSQL CLOB IN WORKFLOW

Dear all,
I have follwoing query with workflow.
I have developed FYI WF.
1) In my WF mail, I am getting click here to respond.
I want to hide this.
Pl. let me know how to do that?
2) I have developed a workflow with Document type.
I am calling a PL/SQL CLOB procedure to pass my values( 4 columns from a table)
I need to pass approximately 70 to 100 rows to clob.
when I pass 14 rows, I am not getting any error.
where as if I pass morethen 15 rows, I am getting follwoing error
"ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error ORA-06512: at "APPS.WF_NOTIFICATION", line 5046 ORA-06512: at line 5 "
Pl. let me know, do I need to setup any thing in workflow from my side

Hi,
I'm not sure whether it is because of the length of variable.
However, did you use concatenation (||) to store the value in the varchar variable before putting it into the CLOB variable?
If so, perhaps you forget to reset the varchar variable inside the loop, thus making it longer and longer each loop.
You should empty the varchar variable by
loop
  l_string := '';
  -- your code, perhaps concat the variable
  l_string := l_string || 'blah blah';
end loop;For the FYI Notification, perhaps you should check the Notfication in the Workflow Builder, whether it has an Attribute with Respond type on the Notification.
If you didn't put anything (only the message body) in the Notification, the message will suppose to be a FYI one.

  • How to use secondary method in workflow?

    Hi friends,
    can anyone plz let me know how to use secondary methods in workflow? it would be helpful if u explain with an example..
    thanks and regards,
    Arun.S

    Hi Arun Kumar,
    The Sec Method can be used in the user decision step. The secondary methods are executed along with the user decision step. You have 3 options. Either execute a secondary method before executing the user decision step or after execution of user decision step or while executing the user decision.
    For this define the methods either in Methods before execution of workitem execution to execute it before user decision step or Methods after execution of workitem so as to execute it after the execution of user decision.
    In order to execute a method along with user decision step execution use secondary methods (amodal call.)
    Let me know if you have any queries.
    Regards,
    Raj

  • Errors while using plsql clob document in notification email

    bq. hello

    thank you

    The stack trace below the "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small" error suggests that this is being generated by the Wf_Notification.NTF_Table call. Given the way you have described the problem, I would assume that the HTML generated by that call for the data in l_cells is exceeding the length of your l_result variable (32767).
    Have you checked the length of the data generated by this call for a single record and then divided 32767 by that number to work out the maximum number of rows you can support with this call?
    If it is simply that you have too much data for WF_Notification.NTF_Table to produce the table within the 32767 limit, you try generating the HTML in smaller chunks and adding them to the CLOB bit by bit. For example, if 10 records work, then generate the HTML for 10 records, chop off the </table> from the result and add it to the clob. Then do the next 10 records (without the header this time) and chop off the <table> and </table> tags and add that to the clob. When you are done, add the closing </table> tag to the clob and return it.
    I haven't done this with returning a clob, but I have done this with shorter strings to generate a HTML table with the standard look and feel but with headers in different places than could be done by default.

  • How to use two tasks in Workflow

    Hi Everybody !
    Can Any one tell me, How to use two tasks in one activity step type of  Workflow CRM?
    My requirement is... I have to execute two tasks in single activity step in Workflow. Is it possible.if it is possible tell me the flow Please.
    Thanks in advance.
    Raghava Vakada.

    You can define one as a "Before" or "After" method if that is usable for you. (defined in tab Methods for Activity steps)
    Otherwise there is also the step flag "Advance with dialog" (tab Details on Activity steps, but the tab it is found on depends on your version) which allows one user to seamlessly execute two consecutive tasks.
    So depending on your real need there may be several options available. If all that is needed is that the same user can execute the two tasks then Advance with Dialog is perhaps the best choice. If the user then cancels execution of the second activity the work item is available for execution. If you define an After method and the user cancels execution the work item has still been completed since its (main) method has been completed.

    hi there,

    hi nag,
    thanks for ur fast responce.
    this FM will check very begining of the work flow..then it goes to aprover..then status will be updated to active.(for first time mm01 will not allow them to create mat in active status..as i configured user exit..after approving only these mat get active status). but in the case of extending materials they can create the views in active mode itself. after they r saving the material getting inactiv status in db tables...
    if u want i can provide the code where mat status is updating to active for new materials.

  • How to use BDC recording in Workflow.

    Hi experts,
    Anyone kindly help me for the following case...
    If sales order gets created, mail has to be sent to every user. Also for that sales order, delivery should be created in background and again mail has to be sent to all users...
    I m clear with sending mail. but i m struggled while creating delivery in background. i dont know how to do this. I hav an idea that it can be created using BDC recording and this recording program can be called in our method which is created in our business object.
    How to create a single BDC recording to create sales order as well as creating delivery in background... Is it possible to do like this. Or is there any function module to create delivery in background with respect to sales order number?
    kindly give some suggestion and step by step procedure to do this...
    Thanks in advance...
    Regards
    Raaams...

    Hi Ram
    Check this BAPI once BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CREATE_SLS.
    If this doesnt help do BDC recording and create a FM with the help of BDC recording. Please note that Call Transaction should happen in background otherwise your BDC wont work.
    Please revert back if you have any queries.

  • ESS: Leave Request - How to use a custom Leave Workflow?

    Hi Experts,
    I am implementing ESS 1.0 for mySAP ERP05. I have a custom workflow for Leave Request which I want to use for the ESS Leave Request. Can someone tell me what are the configuration steps required for this?
    I have already performed the following activity:
    SPRO --> Personnel Information --> ESS --> Service Specific Settings --> Working Time --> Leave Request --> Specify Processing Processes for Types of Leave
    Here I have defined the WF ID of New Request as the custom Workflow ID.
    Now when I trigger the Leave Request from EP-ESS, the message comes that the request was sent successfully.
    But in the backend no workflow gets triggered. I even tried to write an implementation for the BADI PT_ABS_REQ to trigger the custom workflow event, but still no activity in the ECC workflow upon submitting thwe portal request.
    Can some one please advise.
    Thanks,
    Shobhit

    Ohh.. So the standard WF also doesnt get triggered??
    Are you sure u have done SWU3 config??
    If u have, Try using SWU_OBUF to refersh the workflow buffer.
    Try swi1 to check what is happening with ur WF.
    Try login to requesters login ... SBWP ... check the outbox. Is there a WF with Error here.
    Cheers!!

  • Can someone tell me how to work with XML and workflow?

    Ive insert a XML file in a CLOB data type column of a table. Now I want to
    use some tags of this clob in a process of ora workflow. I know that there is a standard function get tag, but how can I say where the tag must get his information?
    Oracle should foreseen a document with step-by-step instructions, how to use XML in Oracle workflow. There is nothing to find on OTN or Metalink or even the internet to do this.
    Thanks for your time

    If you are using the standard XML Get Tag Value activity, you can specify the tag set in XPath notation. For details about this notation, see the W3C Recommendation "XML Path Language (XPath)". Note that this standard activity looks for the CLOB within an event message structure. See:
    http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/workflow.920/a95265/std21.htm#xmlgettval

  • How to use alert in workflow

    Hi friends
      I have configured ALERT in ALRCATDEF t-code. and i have wirtten the discription of the alert there. Now i am using deadline in my workflow in the mail step i want to use this alert so that this alert will come in alert tab in portal. In ALRCATDEF t-code there is fixed recipitants but i want to get the recipitants dynamically which i have written the logic in my workflow but how to use this in workflow. Can any one guide me.
    Regards
    vijay

    Hi,
    We had a similar requirement to send a notification from the alert.
    We created the alert and called the conccurent program which will trigger the workflow.
    Below are the stepsfor the same:
    Create the event/periodic alert and give the action type as "Concurrent Program".and give the concurrent program detials as below
    Application :Human Resources
    Program Name :XX(Eg:Alert Workflow Initiation CP) (this is a plsql stored procedure type with six parameters for this program )
    Arguments:YYY(eg:"N" &person_id "&name" "&job" "&org" "&username")
    Below is the sample code to call the workflow from plsql stored procedure
    begin
    l_item_key := to_char(SYSDATE,'YYMMDDHH24MISS');
    wf_engine.CreateProcess
    (itemtype => 'IRC_WF',
    itemkey => l_item_key,
    process => 'PER_APPLICATION_PRC'
    l_mail_content := chr(10)||chr(10)||'Dear '||p_name||':'||chr(10)||chr(10)||
    'We appreciate your interest in the '||l_job||' position. A member of the Human Resources team will review your information and contact you if your skills and experience is a match for our needs at this time.'||chr(10)||chr(10)||
    'Once again, thank you for your interest in employment at XXX.'||chr(10)||chr(10)||

  • How to use a pwa group in CREATE A TASK PROCESS in SPD 2013 for project server workflow approval process

    I am working on a Project Server 2013 workflow. I am creating this using Sharepoint Designer 2013. In this workflow I am using approval process at one stage. I have created a security group SalesManagers in PWA. I want to use this group for workflow approval
    process. I want all users of this group get approval tasks. 
    For this I used START A TASK PROCESS activity in the SP Designer. I clicked on
    this user and created task process. But here I could not find SalesManager group which I created in PWA. I was only able to find the users. I can also see
    Administrators for PWA . But couldnot find SalesManager or any other security group created in pwa.
    Can anyone suggest how I can get the security group created in pwa.

    NBDevelopment,
    I believe SPD only recognizes the SharePoint Groups and not the project server security groups.
    The Administrators for PWA, and few other groups like Project Managers for PWA etc., are synced SharePoint Groups with the security groups, which is why they show up in SPD.
    You could create a SharePoint Group for the Sales Managers group and use that in SPD.

  • How to use an infopath form field in the designer workflow

    Hi,
    I need to send an email to a person field from Infopath form. Can i access it in the workflow. If not, is there a way i can send an email on form submission from within the infopath form.
    Please help. Thank you.

    Hi Prajk,
    There are three ways of achieving it, one i will say its pretty straightforward and covers the basic of Infopath Forms Development
    1)Populate Fields From Infopath Form at the time of Publishing.
    The moment you done with your form and to publish you click FIle>Publish>SharePoint Server >Enter the Url of Site> Then Click Next twice upto a point where wizard asks "The fields listed below will be available as SharePoint Columns" ,
    Click Add, select the placeholder in myfields for Person Field , expand the "person" group field and choose "AccountId", give the name to column(this will be SharePoint List Column Name) and for function select "first" and then
    click next and Finish.
    And use this field in Designer Workflow to send email.
    2)Second way is to write VSTA based C# code on click of your  Submit action on the form and upload and activate this form on form library via Central Admin.
    3)Now other way of doing this is via Event Recievers.
    Every infopath Form is an XmL File so on ItemAdded event you can extract its content and implement email sending c# code there:-
