Oracle Workflow - Expand Roles
All,
Here is the requirement - Develop a workflow to generate a notification for multiple users.
Solution - I have developed a workflow (enabled the EXPAND ROLES checkbox at notification level), dynamically created a ADHOC DB User group and attached 3 users to the group then send the notification to users in the group.
The above solution is working fine as expected but once user-1 responds to the notification, the other 2 notifications not getting cancelled.
Based on the EXPAND ROLES functionality... once user-1 responds to the notification, the remaining notifications should get cancelled.
Am I missing anything here???
Please advise...
I found the solution - Uncheck the EXPAND ROLES checkbox in notification in workflow then it worked as expected.
For the above scenario... we shouldn't check the EXPAND ROLES

Oracle Workflow Vote Yes/No problems
Hi,
I am new to Oracle Workflow and trying to
solve this problem: I set up a process which
includes the Vote Yes/No Activity (notification).
The notification should be
sent to a role (a group of users) and I want
all users to respond before the process
proceed to the next step. However, as soon
as one user responds to his notification, the
process proceeds to the next step without
waiting for all user responses. I have
made sure that I checked the "Expand Roles"
checkbox for the notification. I have also
set the "Voting Option" attribute to
"Wait for all votes". However, the workflow
engine still does not wait for all votes
before proceeding. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help/suggestions. I am using
Workflow 2.6 and Workflow builder 2.6 with
and Oracle 8.1.7 database.
IreneAt this point, after many tries, I am
convinced that the Vote Yes/No Activity in
Oracle Workflow 2.6 is not working according
to the Oracle documentation (specifically,
the activity does not wait for all votes
to be casted before proceeding).
Is there some web URL where I can see a list
of bugs for Oracle Workflow? Is there a URL
where I can download Oracle Workflow patches?
And if there are any Oracle guys out there,
I would love to hear from you if you can
get the Vote Yes/No Activity working.
Thanks,

Deriving user name from notification sent to expanded Role
Hi,
We have created an adhoc role and sent notification to the expanded role. All the user associated with the role get the notification. Each use, at their will either approve, reject the notification.
Is there any function, which we can use in post notification process to derive the username along with their responses and comments ? Using procedure, wf_notification.votecount we were able to get summary, but we are looking out for details at the user level.
regards
YjHi,
Rather than looking directly at FND_USER, I would go to WF_ROLES looking for the email address.
If there is only one record in WF_ROLES, then you know exactly who the recipient was. If there is more than one record, then you need to look at the ORIG_SYSTEM as well - if it is PER then it's coming from the person record, if it's HZ_PARTY then it is looking at the associated party record.
From those two, I would default to recognizing the person / user record instead of the party record.
HTH,
Matt

Issue in notification API for oracle workflow
Hi,
I am facing issue in sending oracle workflow notification. i have created a simple workflow with a process.
I wrote one package which is creating adhoc role and sending the notification through api I(wf_notification.send).
I am able to get the notification as well as email notification but without attribute values. My workflow attributes are getting replaced by null, but message body is appearing.
Please help me, its urgent.
Thanks
RajniI doubt that Oracle 7 DB is not supported. You may consider raising a SR with support.

Access Control functionality in Oracle workflow
Hi everyone,
I am doing research into access control models and workflow systems (separation of duty policies in particular). As far as I could tell, Oracle Workflow does not provide much in terms of securing access to data in a workflow process (except from the normal login authentication of course).
One usually assigns a task's performer to a CONSTANT role from your database roles so that only certain users will have access to that task. This is not always enough though, especially when the role-hierarchy is not properly contructed and maintained. So, I've been working on a few scripts to dynamically prevent users from receiving tasks on their worklists based on their previous participation in the process (e.g. to prevent a manager from approving his own leave application).
I was just wondering if anyone else have been working on access control in Oracle Workflow. Is there any built-in functionality that I missed that controls task-user assignment?
Thanks,
CarmenThank you very much Sirish for your help.
We are facing huge performance issues while Risk Analysis with Oracle Application servers through Greenlight Adaptor - its taking around 10 hours for 3000 users. Can you please point out what can be the possibilities and how can we trace out exact root cause and then solve it.
This is happening on GRC AC 5.2 SP10 and GRC logs doesn't say much , it just gives output taken 12 secs for one user Risk Analysis.
Here is our understanding on how GRC does Risk Analysis and our observations on our systems -->
1. GRC asks for 1 user details at a time from Oracle Application Server - please confirm does GRC do Risk Analysis for one user at a time or a bunch of users?
2. Oralce App server get details of that user and sends back results to GRC.
3. Now there is a wait time for around 3 secs before Oracle Server gets request for the second user. 3 sec for one user means 2.5 hours of wait time for 3000 users. We are not able to understand why Oracle Server needs to wait for next user request from GRC?
Would highly appreciate if you can share your experience on GRC Risk Analysis with Oracle (Greenlight Adaptor) and with SAP systems.

R11:RECEIVED ERROR MESSAGES FOR AP INVOICE APPROVAL IN ORACLE WORKFLOW
Hi All,
We have this error:
### Detailed Problem Statement ###
Received the following error messages in sysadmin notifications:
Event Error Name: 100
Event Error Message: ORA-01403: no data found
Event Error Stack: HZ_DQM_SYNC>REALTIME_SYNCH(oracle.apps.ar.hz.DQM.realtimesync,
30665979B704AE043C0A81404B04A)
Event Error Name: WFE_DISPATCH_RULE_ERR
Event Error Message: [WFE_DISPATCH_RULE_ERR] ENAME=oracle.apps.ap.payment EKEY=10001
RULE=ap_payment_event_wf_pfg.rule_function SQLCODE=100 SQLERRM=ORA-01403: no
data found
Event Error Stack: WF_Event.dispatch_internal()
In addition, during the set-up of Oracle Approvals Management, there was no available list of
values in the Notification Style in the workflow configurator page.
Action Plan
=======
1) Confirm if the workflow is customized in any way.
2) Confirm whether you are able to select global preferences for the other invoices approval, meaning are you
getting the list of values for the other invoices.
There are no workflow customizations. We are trying to implement it to AP invoice
approval only.
Can you instruct me on how to test this one? I thought I could only select the global preferences from the workflow configuration window. And there are no distinction as to which invoice approval
process it is applicable. Where could I select the global preferences for other
invoices approval?
Thanks a lotthanks hussein , but still we can not see LOV values even if we inserted data manually...:(
But it has improved and we moved on to another error which is:
*****received the error message:3120: Activity 'APINV/52822' has no performer
### Problem description or inquiry details ###
Received the following error message:
Error Message
3120: Activity 'APINV/52822' has no performer.
Error Stack
Wf_Engine_Util.Notification_Send(APINV, 115191_1, 52822, APINV:APINV_MRA) Wf_Engine_Util.Notification(APINV, 115191_1, 52822, RUN)
Encountered the following:
No list of values in the notification style field in the global configuration region in the Workflow Configuration Page
Please note that we could not update the workflow configuration page using the forms because there
is no list of values to select in the above-mentioned field. We just recently
changed the workflow administrator role from SYSADMIN to KCAALIM to reduce
changing of user log-in. We have previously used the sysadmin user log-in to
access the workflow configuration page. there was still no list of values for
the notification style. we changed the wf admin role to kcaalim using the sql:
udpate wf_resources set text = 'KCAALIM' where name like 'WF_ADMIN_ROLE';
Commit;
Hence, changing of wf admin role and user log-in (to sysadmin) won't help (just in case you would advise me to do so) since we tried it
already.
### Responsibility and navigational paths to reproduce ###
1. set-up the AME for ap invoice approval.
2. test an actual transaction.
3. when the list is generated, set-up workflow for AP approval.
when setting up the configuration page, there is no list of values available for the notification style. hence the workflow
configuration could not be updated.
4. Run the required programs (i.e., synchronizations)
5. run the approval workflow from the developer studio page.
6. review the status from the Status Monitor page.
7. The error message appears
8. payables, create a sample invoice.
9. validate and initiate approval.
10. review the approval history to find out the required approver. (the approver's name appears with 0 amount of approval)
11. check the notifications in the required approver's worklist.
12. there are no notifications sent.
Text continued in next action...

Hi,
I want to implement process flow for my mapping.
But I am getting error as,
"The connection was succesful but failed to retrive workflow version."
Also OWF_MGR user is not created.
Database is oracle 11g on RHEL
and standalone OWB 11.2 on Windows.
Do I need to create user owf_mgr which have schema for workflow objects?
Also which version of oracle workflow required for process flow. Do I need to install
Oracle Workflow server at Oracle db server or it ll get installed with 11g.
Where I ll get the details steps to implement process flow from scratch.
Please help.
Edited by: TN on 21 Nov, 2011 6:01 AMHi,
I checked in dba_user and do not find owf_mgr in it so I created owf_user and grant himexecute any procedure and a role owb_user.
When I did not get table wf_resources in owf_mgr schema, I try to run wfinstall.bat on stand alone owb 11.2.
But I got the following error,

Oracle Workflow Notification to multiple users but only one response required
Hi,
I'd like to ask help on how I would go about this. I have a requirement using Oracle Workflow. Initially the workflow sends a notification with the option to Accept or Reject to a group of people, then if one accepts I should end the process. But if all rejects, then send a notification to the Manager.
I used a Loop Timer to loop through the members of the group but I noticed that one needs to reply before the next one gets notified and so on.
I thought of using adhoc role then adding all members to this role. But not sure how to catch if one accepts or all rejects.
Appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
AllenHi
We have a similar situation and every level has multiple user to release the PO. I have tried with all possibilities using standard functionality but no good.
Would you mind to share the design and the process will be great help.

Oracle WorkFlow not receiving responce from Notified Approver
Hi,
I have designed custom workflow for approval process in OM Oracle Apps. The workflow could able to send the notifications to the respective approver roles. And the approver getting notification and the 'APPROVED' the same, but the response is not reaching to the workflow engine I guess. When I go and check the workflow status for that order in OM the workflow process till the Notification sent, and it says notified to the assigned person. Even though approver approved the rest of the process not getting completed.
Please let me know what could be the issue, would appreciate your response as I could not move forward.
Thanks in Advance,
Jakki Reddyhi Amit,
Please post the details of the application release, database version and OS.
The best start point is to get the number of one of those notifications and then run
sqlplus apps/<passwd> @$FND_TOP/sql/wfmlrdbg.sql <notif #>
It will generate a HTML file that you can check to see the details of the roles associated to the notification, as well as the notification attributes that are involved in the e-mail processing.
You may also check on the following :
- Setting Global Preferences of Oracle Workflow Admin Guide
- Query the wf_users and verify/check on the values of notification_preference column.

"expand role" nt waiting for all users in the role to view the notification
I have created adhoc roles using the following code.
lv_user_list_txt := 'SYSTECH'||','||'FNATECH';
wf_directory.createadhocrole (lv_role_name_txt, lv_role_display_txt);
wf_directory.adduserstoadhocrole (lv_role_name_txt, lv_user_list_txt);
I have assigned it to the Item attribute of type 'Role' using the following code.
wf_engine.setitemattrtext (
itemtype => itemtype,
itemkey => itemkey,
aname => 'LIST_OF_APPROVER',
avalue => lv_role_name_txt
I have checked the 'Expand role' check box in the notification and assigned the performer as the Item attribute(Role type) 'LIST_OF_APPROVER'.
But when one user in the role approves or rejects, the notification of the other user is cancelled. the other user can no longer view the notification.
Ideally, after checking the 'Expand role', the workflow should not proceed to the next node until, all the user have performed an action. But this is not happening. Please help on this :(
Thanks in Advance.
Anitha.yes, I did. I spent at least 8 hours searching for a solution here, in the forums and tried everything making sense... The EFI downgrade was the only thing that helped.
My personal opinion is: Apple should offer the EFI downgrade option to all users in an official way. It looks like my favorite vendor does not want to admit they made a hardware+software mistake (the EFI 1.7 update solves some HDD issues on some new MBPs but causes other problems on other MBPs).

Creating Oracle Workflow Users
Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to create users in Oracle Workflow.
I want to create users and maintain it in a custom tale where i will store the password also.the expectation is that the user logs in and is able to see his notifications and also get them in the email.
i m using oracle workflow 2.6.0 and 9i release 1 database 8.1.7.4
help needed urgently
rajeevRajeev,
The workflow directory service provides the users/roles who can participate in a workflow process.
Workflow provides, by default, a directory service based on oracle database users. You can also choose to use OID and provide SSO functionality with your users stores in OID. You can also choose a custom directory service.
For more information on the directory service, please refer to workflow documentation.
Cheers,
