Payables : Manul Hold workflow notification in R12.1.3

Hi Everyone....
We are using R12 version 12.1.3 and below is the requirement in Payables
Once the Invoice is created, manual HOLD will be applied by the User by opening the Invoice. Business looking for below options
1. Workflow notification should be sent with HOLD details (business will decide who will receive the notification later)
2. Notification should have release option and person will fill the release reason and release the manul HOLD via Notification
3. Business dont want to use AME options here as some existing customization are present in "AP Invoice Workflow"
Please guide me/throw some suggestion, how to proceed at this point....
Having some questions....
1. Is AME a mandatory setup for Payables to have workflow enabled/launched?
2. In "Holds and Release" form, there is a check box option "Initial Workflow"? If I enable this option for any manual HOLD, will the workflow fires when that particular HOLD applied to Invoice?
Thanks
Baskar P

Dear,
I am working on the same and would be interested to know what seeded condition would allow to release the invoice Hold? Would appreciate if you could indicate.
Thank you
Anatoliy

Workflow Notification Issue r12

Hi
I have two issues with Workflow notification in r12.
1. Users get notification with a file attached called notification.html. This is not required. How can I stop workflow attaching this file when sending emails.
2. How can I unanimously change notification preferences for all users?
Thanks,

what is the notification preference value of the recipient.
If you don't want the 'notification.html' attachment in email, then set the user notification preference value as 'HTML mail' (MAILHTM2) .
From UI
Follow the naviagation
user login --> Preferences tab--->Email Style -> 'HTML mail'
In the wf_local_roles it should appear as 'MAILHTM2'.
2. For FND user you can call the below API
fnd_preference.put(username,'WF','MAILTYPE','MAILHTML');
For other users you can directly update wf_local_roles with the required notification preference value

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

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!

Link to OAF page from workflow notification

I am trying to give a link in a workflow notification to the customer details page in R12. I decompiled the Controller classes of the customer pages to get the parameters that the page needs.
The page I am trying to access is defined as a function , AR_CUS_OVR with webhtml call :
OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/ar/cusstd/ovrview/webui/ArCusOvrPG&OAFunc=AR_CUS_OVR
I got the url for this page using the following function :
FND_RUN_FUNCTION.GET_RUN_FUNCTION_URL
(25779,660,21623,null,'HzPuiPartyId=32551,cusType=ORGANIZATION,HzPuiSubjectPartyType=ORGANIZATION')
When i paste this URL in the browser, if I am not already logged in , I am directed to the login page and then I get an error :
You have insufficient privileges for the current operation. Please contact your System Administrator.
If i am logged in, i directly get the above error.
I searched the DB to see where this message is thrown but did not find any match. It's probably thrown from some OAF page.
The function is attached to the menu and my user has the required responsibility. I can access the page if i login and navigate to the page.
It's probably the URL , but I am not able to lay a finger on the problem. Please let me know if I am missing something here.
Does anyone know when this error is raised.
thanks,
Satya

I was trying to access the page by pasting the link directly in the browser. I guess that's why it was throwing the indufficient privileges error.
If I click the link from the notification, it tries to bring up the page. But throws a sql exception about invalid number.
I checked the controller code in ArCusOvrCO.java. If the parameter cusType is null, the controlller invokes a method to get custType by calling amethod in the AM which executes a sql statement, SELECT party_type from HZ_PARTIES where party_id = : 1
This parameter HzPuiPartyId is used for this. It looks like all the parameters are passed as null even though I am passing them .
Is the following way the right way of passing multiple parameters to the function :
FND_RUN_FUNCTION.GET_RUN_FUNCTION_URL. I am just passing a comma separated list.
'HzPuiPartyId=24553,cusType=ORGANIZATION,HzPuiSubjectPartyType=ORGANIZATION,HzPuiPartyName=EOM40,HzPuiObjectPartyType=ORGANIZATION,HzPuiObjectPartyId=24553'

How to configure workflow notification mailer for iPad

EBS R12.1.3
Sun Solaris 11
DB 11g
First i apologize for users here becasue i have to repost this. May be i did not ask proper question last time
Currently my users got the internet expense or requsition approval in an email with an attachment and when users open the attachment the Oracle HTML page open and allow click on approval or reject. This works fine from outlook email from desktop. But when users receive the email on iPad the attachment does not open. It give the blank page.
Can someone advise how can user approve the work flow notification from iPad. This is my analysis for our requirement. Can someone advise am i on right direction. if there is any Oracle docuemnt available then please provide the doscument detail or sequence of doscument that i need to follow
Set up the IMAP4 compilance unique inbound email with INBOX, PROCESS and DISCARD folders
Configure the inbound email from OTM
Ignore the outbound email configuratiion from OTM becasue it is already working. It is set with SMTP
Check the inbound and outbound connection from ebs server
If you can not ping the IMAP server or telnet the SMTP server from ebs server. Make sure firewall/ports are open
Add inbound and outbound server entry in server host file
Apply the patch 16328729 for iPad compatibility
Test it
What would be the over all impact of this change. will the users still able to approve the notification using the attachment or this will change.

How to purge Workflow queue after R12 upgrade before starting WF Mailer?

Hi,
We are about to upgrade to R12.1.3 from R11.5.9.
As part of the testing, I configured and started the Workflow Mailer in the new system. As soon as I did that, the system started sending a ton of notifications regarding past Requisition approvals apparently queued in the system. WF Mailer has been down since I did the last upgrade test.
We plan to approve all requisitions before the cutover in the old system, so there should be no email notifications pending. Is there a way of updating msg_state of those notifications in the wf_notification_out table with a value of "READY", so we can make sure that we will have a clean system and users will not receive any notifications regarding the past requisition approvals?
Thanks,
Sinan

Before Workflow Notification Mailer fails sends failure alert.

Hi,
We are using Oracle E-Business Suit R12. It happens few times that Workflow Notification Mailer fails (unknown reason), thus stopping all the upcoming alerts.
1). Please tell me if there is way to identify those unknown reasons?
2). Secondly is there any way that before Workflow Notification Mailer fails generate an alert on just before failure?

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,
Vishvesh

Hi,
Using the Sysadmin responsibility, please submit "Workflow Background Process" with the below parameters and see if it helps:
Process Deferred: Y
Process Timeout: Y
Please also see the following notes;
How to Manually Process the Events from Workflow Queues When The Deferred Agent Listener Won't Start [ID 953103.1]

Notification Mailer R12 - Does not send emails

Dear All,
we are trying to set up the Standard Oracle Notification Mailer in R12.
We believe we have pretty much covered all aspects of the configuration but it looks like something is either missing or not working...
Here what has been done so far:
1. We purged the Workflow Queue to avoid unwanted emails to be sent out, updating the WF_NOTIFICATIONS setting MAIL_STATUS to SENT; the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT is empty.
2. We created an Ad-Hoc Workflow Mailer for a single item_type (UMXUPWD, for changing OA Password):
Outbound eMail Account (SMTP) set up (just the server name not the UserName and PWD)
Inbound eMail Account (IMAP) set up (ServerName, UserName, PWD and Replay-To)
Correlation_ID has been set to UMXUPWD
on the Message Generation tab we filled up the From and Reply-To-Address fields
3. Override Address has been set (so that all emails will be sent to a Test Account) and works fine (We did get the email and we confirmed the code).
4. we changed at Global Level (from the Workflow Administration page) the "Do Not Send me Emails" to "Send me HTML mails"
5. Workflow deferred agent listener has been set (default values)
6. Workflow deferred notification agent listener has been set (default values)
7. Workflow error agent listener has been set (default values)
8. Workflow inbound notification agent listener has been set (default values)
We started the Workflow Notification Mailer (for UMXUPWD). We selected a User which has "Send me email" as preference, we requested a password change for this user. We see the notifications in the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table ready (mail_status = MAIL) to be sent but the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT remains empty and no mails are sent out. We also tried to change the Correlation_ID to the Message_Type (instead of the Item_Type) and to leave it blank...no results = no emails.
Note: neither the TEST Mail for the Notification Mailer worked, so far the only email which has been sent out was the one for the Overriding.
Any ideas why?
Thank You, Pier Paolo.

So the message got 'lost' from the deferred agent listener and the mailer: it was successfully dequeued and processesed from wf_deferred but not enqueued into wf_notification_out.
Check the log file for the deferred agent listener on the middle tier under $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG. The file name will be FNDCPGSC#####.txt (there will be about three of them, you will have to find the one with internal tag WFALSNRSVC). Reproduce the problem and see if there are any errors here.
Check if the persitance time for queue wf_notification_out is zero. If it is then you could be mislead: if it is zero then the message will be immediately removed by the AQ system, suggesting the message was never enqueued.
Also, run $FND_TOP/sql/wfmlrdbg.sql <notif ID> and get the HTML it produces... usually it is able to tell what could have happened.
I hope this helps,
Alejandro

Sending Workflow notification with OAF page link through PL/SQL

Hi Workflow Experts
I have a requirement where I want to send a FYI notification to a user.
And I have to add a link to my OAF screen in this workflow notification.
Please let me know if i have to create a workflow for this or can this be done by calling some workflow api.
Thanks in advance
Navneet
Edited by: Navneet01 on Feb 20, 2013 10:59 PM

Try by defining the message attribute holding the link to the framework region. Then, once the notification has been created (sent) call WF_NOTIFICATIONS.SetAttrText to set the value of the region in that attribute value.

Alejandro
