Workflow builder privileges

For development purposes, is there a way to setup different database schemas and grant them privileges to develop workflow definitions without affecting each other?
Currently we are all logging into to the builder with the workflow schema account, and this is dangerous as we may modify each other's work, which is not desirable.
Thanks.

To launch a test workflow from the Launch Processes page (standalone Oracle Workflow) or the Developer Studio (Oracle Applications), a user needs to be part of the Workflow Administrator role defined in the Global Workflow Preferences page.
If you are talking about launching a workflow process from an application, user access will be controlled by how that application is coded.

220: Unable to set NLS_LANGUAGE. Oracle Workflow Builder

Hi All,
When i am trying to login to OWF Builder its throwing error:
220: Unable to set NLS_LANGUAGE.
210: Oracle Error: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
. SQL text: SELECT NLS_LANGUAGE FROM WF_LANGUAGES WHERE :l IN (NLS_LANGUAGE, CODE)I already referred:
Problem with NLS_LANGUAGE
*MOS tech note : 220:Unable To Set NLS_LANGUAGE Error In Workflow Builder [ID 728330.1]*
and other related threads.
All values in registry are correct as per DB NLS settings
Here the strange thing is i am able to login with apps account its not giving this error and when i am trying to login with another custom db account its throwing error.
I even granted select, insert, update privilege on WF_LANGUAGES view to custom db user still same issue.
Any pointers on this issue is really appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi helios,
Many thanks for your input.
Did you check note Error While Connecting To Database Using The Workflow Builder [ID 577905.1]? After you follow note 220:Unable To Set NLS_LANGUAGE Error In Workflow Builder [ID 728330.1] did you restart machine?yes, i restarted my PC and the tech note provides the same solution from tech note *577905.1* as i updated in my earlier post.
If its the problem of NLS_LANG then it should not allow me login with apps also right??
But i can login with apps without any issues.
thanks,
X A H E E R

Workflow Builder logon

We would like to give Workflow Builder to other than the System Administrator. Is there a way to use Workflow builder by using a logon name other than APPS?

We would like to give Workflow Builder to other than the System Administrator. Is there a way to use Workflow builder by using a logon name other than APPS?You can connect from Workflow Builder to Oracle EBS database through a database user. If you want the user to have full access, then the apps username/password should be sufficient. Otherwise you may need to consider creating a new database user with less privileges comparing to apps user.
Thanks,

Diff: Version on workflow builder and Maintain Active Plan version on SWU3

Group,
Can any one help me to understand the Version on workflow builder and Maintain Active Plan version on SWU3
Thanks in advance !
Richard A

Dear Richard Antony,
The Versioning in the Workflow is very important its some what simmilar to the version on any SAP Objets like Tables, Program etc.
Here Suppose any change comes in working workflow, then in stead of directly change them you can create a version of them and them modify it. So that you can reverst back to that version if required.
Like wise there is lots of importance of versioning Workflow.
The Active Plan version is also important to establish at SWU3. As all the Workflow is using Organization management which is very depended on the Active Plan version. so based on which Plan version you want to use you can Provide in SWU3 to tell Workflow system to use this.
Hope this will give you a clear picture.

Chandrashekhar.

Error while connecting to workflow builder after installation...first time!

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Workflow Builder 2.6.3 recently on my system and after installation, when I am trying to connect the workflow builder (using database username/password of that particular instance), it is throwing me the following error:
220: Unable to set NLS_LANGUAGE.
210: Oracle Error: ORA-01403: no data found
. SQL text: SELECT NLS_LANGUAGE FROM WF_LANGUAGES WHERE :l IN (NLS_LANGUAGE, CODE)
In the previous threads when I searched for the same issue, I found that if
select value from v$nls_parameters
where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
returns the value other then WE8ISO8859P1 then that is what I should change my NLS_LANG entry for the builder - i.e. AMERICAN_AMERICA.<character set>.
But I am not getting where should I change NLS_LANG, it is located where...some file? I am new to Workflow.
Please help me. I tried a lot. Any type of help will be highly appreciated.

Customized notification message template in Workflow Builder for iExpense

Hi Gurus!
I have a few requirements to change the notification format of the AME Expense Report Approval Message and one of which is to add a due date of the notification in the subject line of the email. So i have created a new message template, added in some attributes and point the notification to it. It works but in the email body it is missing some sections like the instruction text and the Previously Submitted Expenses section. The new message template has all attributes from the old message template so i'm expecting it to behave exactly the same.
We're on Oracle r12 and i use Oracle Workflow Builder 2.6.3.5.
Can you please help?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Patricia,
For
'358: Activity result code 'RESET' has no transition defined for it. All valid result codes must be modeled with specific transitions or a <Default> transition.',
you may have a function step defined in your workflow which could have a result type like 'Yes/No' but you may have defined the next step for the result type 'Yes' but not for 'No'. so you have to complete the flow for all of the result type of that function step.
for,
'383: Notification activity must be assigned a performer when used in a process.'
Open up the properties dialog of the notification in your process and click on the 'Node' tab, there at then end you can find a property called 'Performer' assign the following,
Type->Item Attribute
Value->Send to Role (or) Send to Email.
I guess this is a late response, but i just fixed these problem for my workflow and hence found your query !!

Information on Globalization of Workflow Builder GUI

I am trying to determine if the Oracle Workflow builder application can display non-English characters in its menus, labels, dialogs, etc. Is there central site that describes the level of internationalization for this and other Oracle products? I have already looked in the "Products > Database > Oracle Workflow" forum and post a request there. Any point of contact would be helpful. Thank You.

Hi Srinivas,
Firstly when you create the container element for the task set is as an import parameter ( Double click on the container element-> Properties (Tab)-> Import(Field) ). Save the task. In SWDD select the activity. Put in the task and Click on Binding button. You will get a pop up showing all the workflow elements and the task elements. Map the workflow element to the task element here. Save and activate the workflow.
In SWO1 open the method for the business object. Click on parameters button and add an import parameter of the same data type as the task container element. In the program add the following code:
Data: newvariable type datatype
swc_get_element container 'NEWVARIABLE' newvariable.
Open the task definition and click on method binding. Map the task container element to the method input parameter.
After these steps you should be able to use the new variable in your code.

Bhooma

Oracle Workflow Builder and Oracle 9i

The Oracle 9i Client CD does not include the Workflow Builder and MAPI Mailer, however the Oracle 9i Server CD NT does under the Client Component option.
Customers on other platforms need access to the builder, so patch 2053572 has been released to remedy this situation.
Customers should not install any other version of the Oracle Workflow Builder into a 9i Oracle Home. Previous releases of the Workflow require and 8i Oracle Home.
See Metalink Note 161304.1 for more details.

Got around the error by not running the installer (setup.exe) that came with the workflow code tree. I ran my Oracle Installer and pointed it at the appropriate place in the workflow code tree, and that worked. The Net8 Config Assistant setup process didn't complete, but I just copied my 9i tnsnames.ora file into the workflow network\admin directory and everything worked fine.

601 SAP Business Workflow - Build and Use

Hello,
I am working in ABAP for last 6-7 years. Due to project need planinng to take BIT 601 SAP Business Workflow - Build and Use class.
Please suggest if this class is good to get started in SAP workflow. Pre-requisite for this class is BIT 600. I am not taking that class. Can I do self study and pick it up?
Please suggest how I can get ready for workflow.
Thanks,
AP

Hi,
Org structure needs to be setup by HR, but you can set up org structure yourself. Its not a big deal. 601 will go thorough this process. Also you can have workflows without org structure.
Go through this link
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70b074ac-fa1b-2a10-1587-bd084347fc56
On help.sap.com, there is a demo for an absence request workflow. If you go through them, it should give you an idea of all the basic tcodes including the creation of a HR org structure, workflow build etc.

Unable to view flow in Workflow builder

Hi,
I have created a process flow in OWB904 and deployed it to workflow repository. The flow runs ok from OWB and from SqlPlus. When I try to connect to workflow repository from workflow builder (2.6.1.5.2), I get the following error:
WFLDRL_FAIL
WFLDRLD_FAIL
WFLDDITT_FAIL FILTER=%
WFITTS_FAIL NAME=PKDW3
WFITTV_FAIL OPERATION=SET NAME=PKDW3
WFXXXV_DESC DESC=Process Flow Package
WFSTRCK_SPACE
I have to run the workflow script 'wfrmitt.sql' to remove the deployed item. The repository then become accessible again. OWB deployment manager reports no error: Any clues?

Rolf,
The issue seems to be in the description.
We can reproduce this with a trailing space on the description of the ProcessFlow Package. Then we get the same messages you get, but you seem to be getting the raw NLS keys not the NLS'ed strings (don't know why)
The solution is to remove any leading or trailing spaces from the description.
you could look at the DESCRIPTION column of the WF_ITEM_TYPES_TL table of the Workflow repository to confirm the presence or lack of spaces.
Hope this helps,
Jean-Pierre

Oracle workflow builder as standalone

Hi
I have installed Oracle EBS 12.1.1 (Linux) on my laptop. I understand there is no linux version for Oracle Workflow Builder. Can I install Oraclw Workflow Builder on a standalone windows PC and build workflows and later copy the files to the laptop and install them manually on the Server without a network connection between the 2 computers?
Can you please provide details.
Regards
Jacob
