Respond attributes in Workflow notification

Hi
I added 4 respond attributes in my notification message. Now these parameters come automatically in the notification as input fields.
My question is that can we control the size of the input boxes that appear in the notification for these respond fields?
Thanks
Navneet

I already tried that but the text field that appears on notification is still the same size.
I actually want to reduce the size of the text box that appears in the notification.
Regards
Navneet

Notification activity's message must have a respond attribute name 'RESULT'

I've created a basic approval notification using the WFSTD_APPROVAL lookup type of Approve or Reject. I have it routing so that if the document is rejected it directs to the "End" Function Activity and if the document is approved it continues on with the remaining workflow. I keep getting this error when trying to save or verify the workflow. "Notification activity's message must have a respond attribute name 'RESULT' with lookup type 'WFSTD_APPROVAL'" Can anyone please direct me as to how I would set this respond attribute or how can I get rid of the warning message?

Hi,
On the message (within Workflow Builder), click on the Result tab, and populate the details of the result type, display name (prompt) etc. there. This will need to match the result type of the notification.
That should do it!

You can follow the Workflow developer guide to create message attribute as shown in below link
http://www-apps.us.oracle.com/wf/doc/wfr1213/wfdg/html/T361836T361983.htm#2806969

No data found for region error on Workflow notification page

Hi !
For workflow, I have created a Non Form Function in Oracle Applications and linked the region to display in the notification. This region's type is StackLayout.
I created an attribute of type Document and assigned it the value in the form
JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=WF_FUNC
then I added this attribute in the notification message attribute with the Source as Send and Frame Traget as Full Window. Now when the workflow starts, the region does not populate and error shows that there is no data found for this region.
Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi,
We have a unique problem.....for timecard approval notification the HXC_TIMECARD form function is calling embedded Timecard region in the workflow notification.....in the HTML call the AprvNtfRN is called as shown below.
OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/hxc/selfservice/approval/webui/AprvNtfRN&akRegionApplicationId=809
Now the issue is that the email displays uneven format i..e timecard details like project and task name are vertical instead of horizontal.
Is there a way to code HTML in AprvNtfRN so that the format is obtained as desired?

#ATTACHMENTS handler in workflow notification for multiple attachments

I would like to attach multiple documents to a workflow notification. The number of attachments are not known at design time.
I see that #ATTACHMENTS handler is used for purpose, but I am not clear how to use it with PLSQLBLOB usage.
How to return multiple documents to the #ATTACHMENTS special handler using PLSQLBLOB?
Created a message attribute of Type=Document and gave internal name as #ATTACHMENTS. Now time to set a PLSQLBLOB function, but to attach multiple documents. Not sure how ....
Note, I do seem some examples with FND:entity usage which shows attachments fine in the worklist, but the attachments are not shown in the email when using workflow mailer due to limitations with FND usage. Using PLSQLBLOB Document, I'm able to show attachments in both worklist and email, but each document attribute can handle only one attachment file. The number of attachments are not known at design time. I would like to use #ATTACHMENTS handler but for PLSQLBLOB usage.
Can some throw more light on #ATTACHMENTS tag with PLSQLBLOB usage for multiple attachments?
Thanks!

How can I include a Credit Mgmt Case Folder URL in a workflow notification?

I have a requirement to add a URL to a workflow notification, which is easy enough. The issue I am having is that I am not able to create a URL that successfully opens the Credit Management Case Folder that is specified in the worflow notification.
I am only able to get the URL to launch the following successfully: http://<ce:0000>/OA_HTML/RF.jsp?function_id=16351&resp_id=23916&resp_appl_id=222&security_group_id=0&lang_code=US
Has anyone else solved this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

We are using eBusiness Suite 11.5.10.2, 10g database
I created a woflow attribute of type URL.

Value: http://<instance>/OA_HTML/RF.jsp?function_id=16351&resp_id=23916&resp_appl_id=222&security_group_id=0&lang_code=US
I then added the following line to add the URL attribute to the HTML message body.
Case Folder Link : &CASE_FOLDER_LINK
When using the link above I don't get any error message. However when I try to change the URL to a specific case folder URL (Note this URL should change depending on the Case Folder # provided in the notification message.):

1)Create a Document Attribute and specify to attach it to the notif msg.
2)Create a PL/SQL function activity in workflow
3)In the PL/SQL proc, Load the file using dbms_lob into a LOB and set the attribute using
wf_engine.SetItemAttrText(itemtype      => itemType
,itemkey      => itemkey
,aname      => 'SRQ_REPORT'
,avalue           => 'PLSQLCLOB:xxx_gbl_wf.get_pdf_quote/'||v_report_request_id||':'||v_qot_number);

Attach document as a link in oracle workflow notification

Hi,
I have a requirement to attach a word document stored as BLOB in database as a link in workflow notification.The link (document) should be visible and opened both from the workflow notification in the workflow admin notification queue and notification mail the approver receives.
I am getting the document from fnd_lobs and storing it in the item attribute of type Document.
Please help me how to attach the item attribute of type Document as a link in the notification.
This is urgent and any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
David

For attaching a document you need to perform the following steps
1. The document type item attribute which is referred by message attribute must have the value in the form
PLSQLBLOB:SA_MLRTST.GETBLOBDOCUMENT/&DOC_ID
where SA_MLRTST.GETBLOBDOCUMENT is the PL/SQL procedure that generates a PL/SQL BLOB
DOC_ID is an attribute representing the file_id column in fnd_lobs table
2. The procedure GETBLOBDOCUMENT() must be of the form
CREATE OR REPLACE package body SA_MLRTST
as
procedure getBlobDocument(document_id in varchar2,
content_type in varchar2,
document in out nocopy blob,
document_type in out nocopy varchar2)
is
l_docid pls_integer;
l_filename varchar2(100);
l_errmsg varchar2(100) := 'The Document is not found in the Database';
l_bdoc blob;
l_data_type varchar2(100);
begin
l_docid := to_number(document_id);
dbms_lob.CreateTemporary(l_bdoc, FALSE, DBMS_LOB.Session);
select file_data
into l_bdoc
from fnd_lobs
where id = l_docid;
dbms_lob.Copy(document, l_bdoc, dbms_lob.getLength(l_bdoc));
exception
when others then
dbms_lob.WriteAppend(document, length(l_errmsg), l_errmsg);
wf_core.context('SA_MLRTST','getBLOBDoc',document_id);
raise;
end getBlobDocument;
end SA_MLRTST;
commit;

Include Secure Zone name in Order Workflow Notification

Hi All,
Hoping that someone can help me with a solution for the following:
We have a site that has a number of secure zones, each secure zone has an individual product catalogue assigned to it.
The problem we have is that when someone does an order from within the secure zone, the Workflow notification does not contain any information about which secure zone the order came from.
So I'm wondering if it is possible to write some code that will query what secure zone you are logged in to and have this as a hidden field on the Order page, to be included in the Workflow Notification.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Cheers,
Emily

You can parse the user's securezone subscriptions out of {module_subscriptions,true,true,,true}, or you could look for an attribute unique to each catalogue, like <div data-catalogue="{{tag_somethingUnique">...catalogue template code...</div> plus jQuery('[data-catalogue]').data('catalogue');

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!

Workflow notifications customization

Hi All,
I want to know on the notification's page, can we customize the page to display a custom attribute under the type name.
Example
Type Subject Sent Status
PO Approval PO:= 2234 needs 11-Oct-2001 Open
In the above case the PO Approval is the Display name of the item type of PO Approval workflow, is there a way to customize it in a way so we can display a attribute value there...
Thanks
Ashish

I do not think you can customize the main Workflow Notification page (even though it is possible, but it is not supported) -- Please log a SR to confirm this with Oracle support.
Thanks,
Hussein

Open forms from Workflow Notification

Hello All,
I understand that we can have a 'Form' type attribute to have a link of the form displayed in the workflow notifications.
And my requirement was to open a particular PO in the forms if the user clicks on the corresponding link in his notifications.
For doing the same, I created a form-type attribute with the following value:
POXPOEPO:PO_HEADER_ID="1234" #RESP_KEY="XXX_PO" #APP_SHORT_NAME="PO"
By clicking this link in the notification, a blank Purchase Order form is opening up. I wanted the actual PO details also to be displayed.
Please suggest what needs to be done for this ?
Thanks,
Sambit

Oracle Purchasing has such feature. Whenever a PO ha to be approved a notification is sent to the buyer with the url to the Purchase Order. Once he clicks on it the HTML Purchase Order page opens and he can hit approve.
So you might want to look at the piece of functionality to achieve the same
Thanks

How to create a HTML Table in Workflow Notification ?

Hi,
I have a requirement to display multiple records in a HTML table in Workflow Notification. I have developed the code. In my Notification, I am seeing HTML tags and not a formatted HTML report. Appreciate your help and comments.
The following is what I have done in WF.
1. Define attribute in WF of type Document
2. Define Message in Text Body ( Should i also copy the same thing in HTML Body ??)
The following is my PL/SQL
Variable l_table is defined as varchar2(30000)
-- HTML Table Heading
l_table := '<table><tr><td>Amount</td>
<td>Description</td>
<td>Type 1099</td>
</tr>';
WF_ENGINE.SetItemAttrText(itemtype,
itemkey,
'FRB_DISTRIBUTION_HISTORY',
l_table);
When I get a notification, I get the following sample
<table><tr><td>Amount</td>
<td>Description</td>
<td>Type 1099</td>
<td>Receipt Required Flag</td>
<td>Invoice Id</td>
<td>Invoice Distribution Id</td>
</tr><tr><td>100</td>
<td></td>
<td>MISC7</td>
<td></td>
<td>429684</td>
<td>464834</td>
</tr></table>
I am missing something, Can you please let me know, what am i missing.

Hi Matt,
I am working on AP_WFAPPROVAL_PKG (Oracle EBS Invoice Approval Package).
I have defined a Workflow Attribute as Type 'Document' (in Workflow Builder)
In my AP_WFAPPROVAL_PKG Package, I am retrieving my values and returning it to a variable of type varchar2(32000) and seting the WF variable(displayed below).
WF_ENGINE.SetItemAttrText(itemtype,
itemkey,
'FRB_DISTRIBUTION_HISTORY', -- This is my WF Attribute of type 'Document'
l_table);
When I see the notification, i get the format displayed below (I do see the correct values generated, but they appear as tag, and not as a HTML Table Report)
<table><tr><td>Amount</td>
<td>Description</td>
<td>Type 1099</td>
<td>Receipt Required Flag</td>
<td>Invoice Id</td>
<td>Invoice Distribution Id</td>
</tr> <tr><td>60</td>
<td></td>
<td>MISC7</td>
<td></td>
<td>429681</td>
<td>464827</td>
</tr><tr><td>40</td>
<td></td>
<td>MISC7</td>
<td></td>
<td>429681</td>
<td>464828</td>
</tr>
Please advise
