Require a Workflow Example

Hi All,
I'm looking for a workflow example, where the workflow calls a procedure that runs some queries on a table and returns the results in a workflow notification. Preferably a workflow already supplied by Oracle.
i.e. what i am planning on doing is to create a workflow that queries the ap_credit_card_trxns_all table, and for any transactions that are not coded over a certain timeframe (i.e. 30 days), sends the card holder a workflow notification email, and in that email is a table of the outstanding transactions.
I've been going through the workflows within Oracle but haven't found one that does something similiar to what i require.
Cheers,
RussH.

Hi RussH,
There are a number of ways to do this. The "easiest" is to create an Attribute (e.g. body_text) on the Workflow Item type e.g. a Document (LOB), and the create a process prior to the Notification that populates this with the content of the notification body. Then the Message on the Notification has just &body_text and you'll get what you want. Make sure you handle creating a lob not varchar2 or you may hit maximum lengths (32K). An example of this can be found in Release 11i AP Remittance Advice Email, package appewfpb.pls (AP_PAYMENT_EVENT_WF_PKG) and workflow "AP Remittance Advice" APPEWF. Note in R12 AP Remittance Advice has been replaced with BI Publisher based solution.

Additional J2EE/Workflow examples?

Does anyone know of any links to additional examples demonstrating J2EE & Workflow?

Same problem here... I'm stuck!! The servlet and deploy does just fine, but I see no processes running neither active notifications.. Something may I have forgotten?

IFS & Workflow Example

Is anyone using iFS Agent's to call the Oracle Workflow API?
We would like to write an iFS agent to initiate a notification
workflow (through the Oracle API). Say when the status
attribute of a custom document changes.
Is this the best way to go or is Workflow a bit of overkill to
sending mail? We are having issues with the IfsTransport iFS
API and thought Workflow would be an alternative for our CMS
requirements.
Any suggestions of how to get started would be appreciated. An
example would be excellent!
Thanks,
Susan

Susan,
If the type of workflow you need is as straight forward as you
describe Oracle Workflow is probably a bit of an overkill. I
would write an agent that initiate a notification when the
attributes changes if that's all the functionality you require.
We have written an agent to notify users when documents are
modified under certain circumstances.
Hooking up to Oracle Workflow is certainly possible but will
probably take longer and for straight forward things is not
worth the effort at this stage.

Per Account Workflow Example

Can anyone point me to or post an example of a complete per account workflow that is used to modify the attributes of each user. I'm looking for one or more good examples to answer a few basic questions. 1) Do I need to checkout a user view with a per account workflow or is this already done for me? 2) How exactly do I reference the attributes of each user in a per account workflow when I want to make a change to that attribute?
Any help appreciated, but I'm really look for complete code samples, and not just snippets.
Thanks,

Workflow Example Error

Hi Expert,
I've been trying to follow a very simple workflow tutorial but it stop at sending an email, here is the scenario
1. Workflow started, it asked to approve or not (there is no object, or anything like that just a simply decision activity)
2. If Approved then send mail back to the initiator
When i try to test it, the screen with selection approve or reject showed up but when i click approve nothing happen, no email is being sent to me. When i try to analysis it with graphical log, the green line (which indicate progress) stop at sending mail activity (no agent). Can somebody help me with this?
Thanks

Hi,
When i try to analysis it with graphical log, the green line (which indicate progress) stop at sending mail activity (no agent).
Can you let us know what kind of recipient type you are using the mail step. I mean are you using email address like HOTMAIL GMAIL, or user name or Expression.
If you are using expression and in the expression if you are populating the sap user name make sure that you concatenate US before the sap user name for ex; let say sap user name is ABCD thenin the expression the value should be USABCD

Can anyone give me a simple workflow example?

So I need to make a banner (468 x 60) with flash that
basically is just a background, some text, that text disappears and
new text shows up, and then some falling hearts. I've been through
so many tutorials, but I STILL get confused as to the exact
workflow when doing this. I understand about making movie clips,
but do I make a movie clip of a line of text, then what do I do?
How do I make it disappear and a new line of text show up? Should I
do this all on Scene 1 or do I need to somehow animate within the
movie clips? Also, I have a heart that falls and rotates at the
same time - I don't want it to do a full rotation, so I tried
rotating the instance of it in the beginning and have it motion
tween to do a 1/4 rotation, but when I try to animate it, it just
shows it falling and then rotating at the very last frame. Say I
want to show "screen A" of text, then show "screen B" then finally
"Screen C" which includes some hearts animating, can anyone give me
a real basic outline of what to do? I mean, the order I should do
stuff, what needs to be made into a movie clip, what each movie
clip timeline should look like, and what the Scene 1 timeline
should look like. OR if anyone knows of a decent tutorial that
basically shows how to do something like this. Thanks!!! (*puppydog
eyes*)
p.s. i just want the text to fade-in/fade-out unless that is
complicated enough that a flashtard like myself couldn't do it
easily.

wouldn't it make more sense that a flashtard is someone who
just generally sucks at flash and asks idiotic questions?
anyway, so i pretty much got the banner done - but i'm stuck
on one problem. I made a motion clip of a heart, and i want the
heart to fall from top to bottom, following a squiggly motion
guide, and to rotate 1/4 turn on the way. I got it as far as
following the motion guide, but when i try to select the instance
in the first frame and rotate it, shouldn't the motion tween make
it appear to slowly rotate, rather than stay put then rotate 1/4
turn at the last frame? When I select the clip and play around with
alpha and stuff, that works fine. What the heck?

Workflow Approval Examples

I am seeking process workflow examples that point out the approval steps. I intend to take these examples and compare them to our current processes and identify areas where we are not taking advantage of the workflow/automated approvals/controls available in SAP. An example would be the journal entry approval process.
Does anyone have suggestions as to where I might be able to locate some examples.
Thank you.

Hi Richard
The answer to this one is driven by your process, but the options available are actually quite broad. What I mean is:
You can use existing approval mechanisms such as park/release (as in the case with invoices), release (in a purchasing document), or unlock (in the case of HR infotypes). These could be described as the vanilla options.
You can also develop your own methodology based on the workflow instance rather than the database entry. For example I was asked to create a workflow to approve creation of master data objects (vendors in this case). I built a module pool to create/change/delete/list entries for the user, but on creation/change, this started a workflow and populated the workflow container before sending for approval. Only after approval was the container passed into a method to actually create the database record. In this way you can get approval on any type of data regardless of whether SAP has supplied an approval mechanism.
And of course you can use Adobe forms in an analogous manner as well.
So the question actually becomes where do my business processes require approval and using workflow here.

How to schedule a workflow for recurring executions: The solution

Scheduling a workflow for recurring execution has been long awaited in WFA, perhaps from 2.0 time. The following document shows how to get it done. I've also explained the logic behind it. It’s very simple to use, meets every requirement which one can have from a scheduler and of course highly flexible. Let's go!! The Real stuff. What is this? Is this actually a scheduler? No. This is actually a command in your workflow, but a special 'magical' command. This 'magical' command logic is built using the answers for the following questions: Can a workflow be scheduled for a delayed execution in a future time? Yes, but only one execution instance. If you want the next execution, execute the workflow again providing the same set of inputs and the execution date/time.During workflow execution, can a command inside a workflow get to know what is the name of the workflow? YesDuring workflow execution, can the command know what is the job execution id? YesIs there any programmatic interface available to know what are the user input provided or a particular job execution? YesCan a command inside a workflow trigger another workflow? Yes.Can a command inside the same workflow trigger itself? Absolutely yes. I've ticked all boxes needed to build such a solution. The solution is to make the workflow a smart workflow, so smart that it can schedule itself for the next execution. It no longer needs any other task scheduler to tigger it. WFA provides a large set of REST APIs for other 3rd part SW integration. But I also can make good use of these APIs to make smart workflows. I have always believed that WFA should not only be seen as a framework for automating Storage boxes or server, but just about any task( inside a computer of course) which is done manually. WFA is an awesome product indeed. So this is a command called "Workflow Scheduler" which you can put in your workflow as another command. Prerequisites: You need PowerShell 3.0 on your WFA server. I certainly could have done it for PoSH2.0 as well, but life for web interfaces using PowerShell is so much easier with Posh3.0. Posh3.0 is a big jump from 2.0. WFA is fully supported to work on Posh3.0. Its available by default in Win2012, Win2008 can be upgraded, Win2003 users can't use it. Add credentials of a WFA Admin/Architect in you WFA itself with Name/IP: localhost Match: ExactType: OtherName/IP: localhostUsername: <WFA Admin/Architect Username>Password: <User Password> 3. Minimum WFA version 2.2. This is only needed for Importing the dar. I've provided the command code in text too. The command code is the real deal. How to use it? If you have a workflow which you want for recurring executions, just add this command "Workflow Scheduler" in it. The command takes parameters for the workflow execution intervals. For example minsInterval for executing this workflow every x minutes, or daysInterval for executing the workflow etc.Now just like a normal workflow execution execute this workflow deciding what is the trigger time. Example: Suppose you want the execution every day at 10:00 PM.So provide daysInterval = 1 And execute the workflow for a delayed execution at 10:00 PM. You can pick the day to start as you wish. The workflow will execute at 10:00 PM and when this execution reaches our magical command "workflow scheduler", this command will trigger the same workflow with same set of inputs for the next execution at 10:00 PM tomorrow. And so on an so forth. I’ve attached a very simple example workflow here to help you understand. An Example of a workflow scheduled for recurring execution Daily at 11:30 PM starting 10-March-2015 How to stop/suspend this recurring execution? Easy. You just abort the next scheduled job execution in Execution=> Execution Status. The cycle will stop. How to resume it? Easy again. Just resume the same aborted job. The cycle restarts. Can I change the schedule execution time? Yes. After aborting the current execution, you can resume the same workflow at a new time. Execution interval can't be modified as you can't change the command parameters. But the recurring execution now can occur at a new time. Where or which position to place this “workflow scheduler” command in your workflow? At the beginning ? At the end? Or somewhere in the middle. This completely depends on your choice. See some below cases. You don't want the next job execution scheduling to happen if any of the commands in my current workflow execution fails: Put command “workflow scheduler” in the end. It will trigger the schedule of the next job execution only when all real original commands of your workflow have passed. else not. You want continuous job executions irrespective of the workflow command failures: Put it in the beginning. It will trigger the schedule for next execution before any of the actual command begin executing. You want an approval before the next execution job is scheduled: Add an approval point before the comamnd. So it’s all left to you. Can an operator decide the execution schedule? Yes, but which workflows will be available to him/her for this recurring execution will have to be decided by the designer. This is a good thing to have as it serves for access control in a way. The Architect/Admin can now restrict which workflow can be put for recurring executions. Operators can’t execute just any workflow available to him for automatic recurring execution. And the workflow designer can also choose which scheduling parameter is to be made a variable for the operator. For example the designer want the operator to schedule a given workflow only for weeks Interval and not months or days i.e. he/she can only chose to schedule for weekly, biweekly etc. executions and nothing else. For this the designer can define a User-Input variable only for weeksInterval parameter. It’s Done. You want workflow execution to be scheduled either for daily or once in 2 days but not any other. You can restrict this. Or he/she wants to give full freedom to the operator make his/her own decision about scheduling, he defined user-input variable for all scheduling parameters. The workflow designer wants weekly schedule but the day should not be a weekday: You can even do this. Is this flexible enough for my requirements? I’ve attached the very command code. You can modify the command as per your requirements. Suppose you want daily execution of a certain workflow at 10:00 PM but skip a day of execution if the day is a Monday. Modify the code check for the day and add another day if it’s a Monday. Its posh code and highly readable. So you can see how this can be used in a variety of ways. This is the beauty of a programmatic solution. Its highly flexible, it allows users to design solution based on their requirements. Flexibility is the heart & soul of WFA. Thats why I like it. I have a workflow but I don't want to modify it by adding a new command in it. Can I still use this solution? Yes but with WFA 3.0 on wards. WFA3.0 allows to create modular workflows. Create a parent workflow with you actual workflow as a child workflow in it. Add our “workflow scheduler” command too. So now you don't need to touch your existing workflow. I've attached a workflow example here. Have fun!! sinhaa

Providing a new version 1.1.0 of the command "WFA Schedular" Changes made: Added conditional String Representation based on the Scheduling parameter provided. Provided check for the right number of parameters passed into the command.Added a new parameter "Expiry Date" to automatically stop the recurring execution upon expiry.Check for Posh3.0 version in code.Have Fun!! sinhaa Below example for:Schedule a workflow for recurring execution every alternate day i.e. once in 2 days at 10:30 PM starting 06-Jul-2015 (Today's date is 02-Jul-2015) . The recurring workflow execution should expire on 31-Dec-2015 and stop.
