Is there any documentation guide or tutorial or step by step guide about how to configure approval workflow notification in oim 11g?

OIM 11g Approval Workflow Notification questions

Hello.
I am working with an OIM 11g approval workflow. The workflow will flow from one group to another, and if one user in each group approves it, it is approved. Because I assigned it to groups, the notifications are going to every user in each group.
Is it possible to send a notification to only a single user within a group, instead of everyone? Does auto claim do this?
Is it possible to send a different notification if the ApprovalTask is rejected versus approved?
Thanks.

If I understand correctly, you want to send the notification only to the user who has approved the request and not to all in the group. You can do it by NOT using the notification tab in the .task but by using EmailNotificationService after the .task in BPEL. There you can read the data from payload on who approved the request and can send the notification only to that user. Same way for rejects. You can configure that.
1. After your .task completion you can have a decision box which can check the value for 'outcome' and then direct it to appropriate path for appropriate notification.
or
2. Based on outcome you can set the template in a variable and then in the notificationservice use that variable.

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?

Customizing AP Invoice Approval Workflow Notification Page

Hi
I am trying to customize the AP Invoice Approval Workflow APINVAPR on 12.0.6.
The requirement is to show attachments to the invoice in the notifications screen which is an OA Framework based screen.
In the Notification message, there was an existing attribute #ATTACHMENTS that was pointing to INVOICE_ATTACHMENTS attribute.
I have added the code to set the attribute for the INVOICE_ATTACHMENTS in the package ap_workflow_pkg
wf_engine.setitemattrtext(itemtype => itemtype,
itemkey => itemkey,
ANAME => 'INVOICE_ATTACHMENTS',
avalue => 'plsqlblob:xx_ap_appr_wf_pkg.xx_notif_attach_procedure/' || to_char(l_doc_id)
But the attachments are still not showing up.
What else do I need to do to make the attachments show up.
The notification shows up in a OA Framework page /oracle/apps/ap/invoice/request/negotiation/webui/NotifPGRN&INVOICEID=-&INVOICE_ID-
Thanks

Approving workflow notifications from Apple Mac machines

Hi All,
We have end user who is using Mac system and he is not able to approve the invoice from WF notification email.
When he clicks on the Approve link the auto-response is opening in his GMail account.
He is getting the ‘Warning – Unsolicited Email’ response when he sends the response.
Is there any specific setup for configuration which is required on the user side or on the server side to get rid of this issue.
Thanks in Advance,
MJ

Gtalk plugin has a setting which enables gmail user to click on any mail links and open gmail. Probably this setting is interfering with Approval notification. Disable this setting in gtalk and see.

Adding more info to PO Approval WF Notification

Im a newbie at workflow and I have a requirement to customize PO Approval workflow Notification this means Notification will have more information than Oracle seeded notification information, by adding additional information to the notification email that is sent out (such as freight terms etc.).
Having reviewed most of the workflow processes and corresponding packages, Im unsure in which of the WF process/pkg to implement the change and what steps to follow in order to add /implement it accordingly.
Any guidelines on what steps to follow is much appreciated in advance.
thanks

I believe this is more of a PO question than WF question. PO uses Oracle workflow to route documents for approvals and performs various business transaction to transform the document. Following are some of the ways notification content is generated in workflow.
1. Boilerplate text and message attribute tokens.
The notification content is generally standard with some variable content. Tokens are used for the variable content alone whereas rest of the content is typed into the message body when designing the workflow.
2. Document Type message attribute
The notification content could change drastically based on various business scenarios and recipient of the notification. For such a situation the complete content is being generated using a PLSQL Document Message attribute. The notification body at design time would look like &MESSAGE_BODY which is related to a PLSQL procedure that will generate the complete message.
Now, coming to the PO workflow scenario, the PO approval notifications are generated using a PLSQL Document API within PO_EMAIL_GENERATE package. There are procedures GENERATE_HEADER, GENERATE_HTML that generates the content. You may want to look at these procedures to customize.
Hope this helps
Thanks.

Attaching the notification template to a approval workflow or process OIM11

Hi guys,
we have customized our approval workflow at request level, and operational level approval making default approval based on approval policy. Now the question is we need to send a mail notification to manager to approve the request and then when whole request is completed then the mail has to be sen to the user that new account has been created for that resource.
here the user is request a resource by using self-resource request template.
i have seen the notifications but how would make these notification are triggered at above events
appreciate ur responses

Your first step is to clearly define when the notifications must go out.
1. Email to Approver for task assigned - If you have built a SOA Composite and in your code, you have retrieved the user manager value and assigned to that user, then with this value, you can also code for a custom notification. From the request data, you can retrieve the beneficiary and the resource for which is requested. Using these, you can use a notification resolver class to pass those values in to your notification. See this link http://fusionsecurity.blogspot.com/2011/07/oim-11g-notifications.html for how to create a custom notification.
2. Email to user when Resource has been provisioned - This will happen on the provisioning side, and you can attach to your Create User task and use the notification tab. I do not know if these still work, but create a new email definition from the design console. Open the create user task, go to the notification tab, select the User as your target, status is C, and then select your email definition. Another option would probably be an event handler that is triggered on the status of Provisioned for that resource, but someone else might be able to provide more insight on this as i have not configured one yet.

Workflow notifications in invoice approval workflow

Hi All,
We have a requirement in invoice approval workflow while it sends notifications.
The current workflow is sending notifications to an approver when he has a record both in HR and FND and linked to each other.
But the requirement is WF has to send notification to the approver who will have an employee record only.
If anyone has worked on this requirement earlier please let us know how to achieve this.
Thanks,
MJ

WF Notifications are based on roles, you have to modify the role selection portion to handle the case you mention. Likely this is oracle standard code so you might be careful and look for a workaround i.e. duplicate the activity and customize that one.

Approval workflow - email notification

Hi,
I was run out of idea how to complete my assigned job, need oracle expert to help on email notification workflow.
Currently I am working on workflow enhancement with oracle application E-Business Suite for our company.
My job is to add in new approval process to approve Bank Details transaction through AME.
For this Bank Details transaction, the existing approval process is will only route to HR.
Now my job is to add Admin & Manager approval, which mean once the transaction is submitted and the approval processes are as below:
Admin --> Manager --> HR
But this approval process will fall into 2 scenarios as below criteria.
Scenario1: If the selected Bank Name from List Of View (LOV) not "Other Bank" then the approval process is Manager --> HR
Scenario2: If the selected Bank Name from LOV is "Other Bank" (once Other Bank selected, user will need to enter the new Bank Name) then the approval process is Admin --> Manager --> HR
Once Admin approve, Admin will add the new Bank Name into LOV.
Both scenarios will auto trigger email notification to the approver once there is pending for Admin and Manager approval.
For scenario1, our email process package able to send out email notification to the manager.
But for scenario2, email notification not send to Admin. FYI, our Admin is a group of persons assigned to Admin group.
My doubt here is how to let this email notification able to send out to Admin group?
Hopefully anyone of oracle workflow expert could help me as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Hi Mike,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use workflow to send emails to the approvers when a task process completed in SharePoint Designer 2010.
First, when you add the “Start Approval Process” action to create the workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010, you can click on “these users” to set the task process participants and you can choose “One at
a time (serial)” or “All at once (parallel)” to set how the tasks will
be created.
Then, if you want to send an email to the approver when a single task process completed, you can click on “Approval” in the
“Start Approval Process” step to edit the task process and click on “Change the behavior of a single task” in the “Customization”
to add the “Send a Task Notification Email” action in “When a Task Completes” section as below:
And if you want to send emails to the all approvers when all tasks are completed, you can click on “Approval” in
the “Start Approval Process” step to edit the task process and click on “Change the behavior of the overall task process” in
the “Customization” to add the “Send an Email” action in “When the Task Process Completes” section as below:
If you want to use the approval workflow to update the content approval status, then you can add the “Set Workflow Variable” action to set “Variable: EnableContentApproval” to “Yes” after you add the “Start
Approval Process” action in the workflow, and it should be added above the step “Start Approval Process”.
Please refer to the link below to add the “Set Workflow Variable” step in the workflow:

Why I am not able to approve/reject my workflow notification from email?

For R12 AP Invoice Approval Workflow, I have done Approver group set ups in AME. In HR People form, set my email id for that person. In FND USER from, used that person as the employee to have the email id populated for the user and saved the record.
When I am creating an invoice and initiating workflow, I am getting a notification in my mailbox but cannot approve or reject from the mailbox. I may hit the Approve link but it is not doing anything. In order to approve/reject the notification, I have to log in as that person in Oracle Apps and do it from there.
Is there anything I am missing? I have a requirement that the approver only approve / reject from their mailbox and they do not log in to Oracle Apps to see their notifications. What to do to make them enable approving from mailbox only?
I am having a steep deadline and will very much appreciate your responses.
Thanks.

When you try to approve/reject or do any operation on the workflow using email the issue is the you do not have the responsibility/user values set.
You need to login to Oracle Apps and select the correct resp in order to take action on workflow.
Please check if you are table to take action from oracle apps that explains it. there are a couple of metalink notes too.
You may apply appropriate patch and then this will work.
If it is an SSHR WF you need to be minimum on ATG ROLLUP 7

How to stop email notification on PO revision - PO approval workflow

This is part of the seeded POAPPRV Workflow. When a new PO is created, a notification is created (that requires acceptance). The PO is then revised before a response to the original notification has taken place, which deploys a new notification and closes the original one. When the original notification is closed with no response having been provided, the POAPPRV Workflow states:
"You earlier received the notification shown below. That notification is now closed, and no longer requires your response. You may simply delete it along with this message."
Can anyone tell me how to stop sending this second notification when notification is cancelled ?
Thanks,
Sunitha

When a notification is sent to a user and the user has a notification preference to receive e-mail notifications then the notifications will be sent via e-mail and they will also appear in the user's worklist.
If the user responds to the notification from the worklist (let's say approves) the notification will be responded to and will be removed from the worklist. Now, there is nothing that Workflow can do about the e-mail notification in the e-mail client (yahoo, ms outlook, gmail, etc). So if the user attempts to approve from there, the Workflow Inbound Mailer will realize the incoming e-mail corresponds to a notification that was responded to already. So it has to let the user know that his e-mail will not be processed. So the user will need to consider what he's done before sending an e-mail response.
