Workflow background engine in Oracle inventory responsibility

12.0.6
we have scheduled Po approval and requisition in workflow backgraound engine to run every 5 mins which routes our Po`s and Req
But Workflow background engine has more than 100 item types
what are they all used for..its requests doesnt even have any output
Can someone please explain to me abt it and refer a document too
Thanks alot

>
what you mean by this
We run Po approval and Requisition item types as its needed
Do you mean that we should run all more than 100 item types regularly or what?
Can you please refer me a document for it for my understanding
You are supposed to run the workflow background process for all item types (i.e do not pick a specific item type in the concurrent program submission window). Pl see these MOS Docs

How to use Workflow Background Engine in Oracle Apps?

I have created the development of a custom workflow,tested it in Developer studio in Workflow administrator and has been working correctly. I was hoping to implement this workflow using Workflow background process Concurrent request and move to production.Unfortunately when submititng the concurrent request I am not receiving any notification eventhough all the time Concurrent request always completes normal.(Also when submitting as concurrent request workflow is not prompting for the itemkey). Is it not possible to implement a workflow in the application using background concurrent process? Any help is appreciated.

Please note that Workflow Background engine is used to process workflows that are in deferred status. It is not used to launch the workflow. You will have to write your own code to launch the Workflow using one of the following methods.
1. Use WF_ENGINE.CreateProcess and WF_ENGINE.LaunchProcess APIs.
2. Register a Business Event, create a subscription to the event to launch the workflow and raise the Business Event from your code.
Workflow Background Engine has parameters such as Itemtype, Min and Max Thresholds, Process Deferred, Process Timeout and Process Stuck... which basically determine the type of background work it has to do.
Please refer to Workflow Developer Guide on how to launch Workflows and the uses of Workflow Background Engine.
Thanks

Workflow Agent Listener and Workflow Background Engine

Hi all,
I try to update roles via User Management responsibility but when applying them it throws the following warning: "Updates to Role data will not be visible in the application until the following processes are started : Workflow Agent Listener and Workflow Background Engine". So, my question is via which responsibility i can submit those requests and is there anything else i should know before creating, update roles and assigning permissions to them?
Thanks in advance,
Alexander.

I checked the requests and i found that Workflow Background Engine completed successful. Only Open Period Balance finished with error but is it possible this to be the reason of the given warning? I believe not.
And pls kindly explain what exactly means "you may need to log a SR."? Create a Service Request (SR) in My Oracle Support website so you get a help from Oracle Support Engineer (assuming you have a valid CSI number and MOS account) -- https://support.oracle.com
Thanks,
Hussein

Altering Workflow background engine process frequency

Hi All,
I would like to know how to increase/lower the frequency of workflow background engine in OCS. Currently it s set to 60 secs.
Thanks in advance!
Hetal

Workflow (Oracle Workflow) background engine's frequency can be changed by updating / creating a new job with the SQL command wf_engine.background() in the Workflow user (owf_mgr) schema.

Stop a Workflow Background Engine

Hi, i have set a scheduled background process that runs every minute for test purposes, however,
now that i don't need it anymore, i would want it to be deactivated.
It keeps sending me notifications that the process has completed (i've set it that way), and my inbox is getting full because of it. hehe.
any help?
thanks!

I figured it out. it's just as simple as a concurrent program with a scheduled run. so i went into system administrator, found the scheduled request, and terminated it.

I guess it's designed so that it does not have to reload the Background Engine everytime you run the next report.
Maybe in your case you do not run reports frequently, but in our office report runs are quite often so it's a feature that is quite welcomed.

Error calling background engine!!!

Hi guys!!
can you help me???
Status row for item 'WFEVDEME/PO345345', activity ID '228'
This is the error when i4m launching the background engine!!!
The Item Type WFEVDEME doesn4t exists.Why the sqlplus are returning this error????
cheers

Hi
I can4t purge that itemType because is not there, I purge that item type but when i4m lauching the background engine it still make this error...
ERRO na linha 1:
ORA-20002: 3101: Status row for item 'WFEVDEME/PO55555', activity ID '228' does
not exist.
ORA-06512: na "OWF_MGR2.WF_ENGINE", linha 2753
ORA-06512: na linha 5
But that item type dosen4t exists...
please help me...
If you are on a Production system and are getting this kind of error, please log an iTAR on Oracle Metalink.
If this is just a development system, might be just as easy to purge the WFEVDEME itemtype using the wfrmtype.sql script. See the Workflow Guide for details.

How to start a background engine

When I use wfbkg.sql to start a background engine, it says wf_engine.Background has not been identified. What should I do? And is it necessary to use background engines?
thanks,
Alice

Hi,
What version of workflow are you using? What user are you running the script as?
In standalone workflow, login as your workflow user (default user is owf_mgr but this can change during installation), and you should be able to run it. Either that or just run
exec wf_engine.backgroundfrom SQL*Plus.
In Apps, you should schedule the job through concurrent manager as Workflow Administrator.
You only need to run a background engine if you have any processes which are not going to timeout, defer to the background, or get stuck (where the correct path cannot be determined). If you aren't deferring or having timeouts, then you don't need to run a background engine at all - my first multi-million pound Workflow implementation didn't have any background engines, but this is more the exception than the norm.
HTH,
Matt

How to close "Reports Background Engine" automatically

Dear Sir,
I wanna close "Report Background Engine" automatically after closing the report.
I tried to add the following parameter to close it in the caller form, but it didn't work:
add_parameter(p1, 'oracle_shutdown', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'Yes') ;
Waitting for Help!

Hi,
I think the problem might be with oracle_shutdown being in small case letters or you are using a version of forms6 or 6i that this line doesn't work due to a bug via Oracle in the engine ..
Here is my line to shut down the report background engine.
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'ORACLE_SHUTDOWN',TEXT_PARAMETER,'Yes');
Thanks
