Workflow in HRMS

I have question about Workflow in HRMS. Are the seeded workflow processes just for HR self-service web pages (not for forms)? I can't find in wich app form wich workflow can be started. From witch place in HRMS forms are workflow processes raised (maybe using wf_engine create and startprocess procedures in some place)? For example, terminating employer and when starts workflow process for termination? I need to now exact place (maybe in some package, trigger, api, user hook or etc), because i can't find form, where workflow process and some action (like employee termination) can be binded. How to know, which workflows in wich HRMS forms are used? How are they attached to forms?
I know what in iProcurement, the workflow is attached through the Setup form. For example, the 'PO Approval' workflow is executed whenever a PO is created and submitted for approval. This is defined through the 'Document Type' menu of Purchasing Super User responsibility. There we are specifying the workflow name and process name. But in HRMS it is not so. Or am I wrong?

Hi,
Your question is not clear. What do you want to know exactly ?
1. Do you want to know how to attach the workflow process to particular form/Function ? (or)
2. Whether we can use the workflows for Professional forms ?
If it is first query, Login to 'System Admin' responsibility. Navigate to Application => Function. Query the function name for which you want to see/change the 'Workflow Name'. Select 'Form' tab and check the name of the workflow in the parameters field.
If your query is second one, There are no workflows available for professional forms.
Hope this clarifies your query.

Trigger Workflow in HRMS whenever Hire Applicant function is used.

I want to send a notification whenever a Applicant is hired using the "Hire Applicant" function on the People form.
1) If I create a custom workflow to send this notification. What is the best way to trigger this workflow? Are there any pre-defined business events which I can use?
2) Can I customize any seeded workflow delivered by Oracle HRMS and achieve the functionality mentioned above?
TIA,
Hiten

There are two reason why we want to use workflow
1) We need to send notifications not email and I believe Oracle Alerts does not support notifications.
2) Oracle Alerts is supposedly going to be de-supported by Oracle in near future.
Thanks,

Any one can tell me something about HR (HRSSA)

Hi there,
I'm new to HRMS.
There is a workflow in HRMS i.e HR (HRSSA).
There are lots of process in that item i.e HRSSA,
Can any one tell me,
Which is the main Process Name and from where we can start the process (Functionally)?
And another process Called "@Termination".
from where it is starting.
Please it's very urgent.
Help me out
Thanks
Bachan

HRSSA workflow is not a single process.
HRSSA is a workflow containing a list of various HR processes in it.
So it is wrong to say what is the main process name because there is not mail process name.
what you can do is, find out what is the workflow process called by the particular function based on the process specified in the Form Function definition.
then once you open the workflow builder find the process.

List of standard workflow in oracle HRMS 11i - used in SSHR

Hi everybody,
I want to know all the list of standard workflow and their description, defined in oracle HRMS and used in SSHR.
Is there anyway to know that ??
Please can you give me an answer ASAP.

i explain my need :
i want to have the list of standard workflow processes defined for functions in HRSS.
So i want to know if they are saved in a system table, if it is the case, which program i must execute to have the result..
i read in this manual "Oracle Self-Service Human Resouces Deploy Self-Service Capability Guide" Chapter 4 that :
" SSHR uses workflow processes to combine related functions into a single transaction (for example, to add Special Information Types to Change Assignment or to Personal Information). and to control the transaction flow between the initiating user and other users such as a manager, an HR professional, or an applicant.
You use the Workflow Builder to look at the delivered processes which have been designed to support typical business processes."
i want to know which business processes are supported by SSHR.
thank you very much for your help

Workflow not triggered when called within a Dynamic Trigger of HRMS

Hello,
Requeirment :Whenever any data is updated withing the People workbench of HRMS, a notification should be sent with the following message:
Employee Number <Empno> has modified emailid from <old> to <new>.
To achieve the same a dynamic trigger has been written on per_all_people_f table
invoking a procedure with the below script:
if(nvl(P_old_MS_Value,' ')<>nvl(P_New_MS_Value,' ')) then
     insert into log_self values(P_old_MS_Value,P_new_MS_Value,l_itemkey,p_employeename);
     wf_engine.CreateProcess ( itemtype => 'HRSSA',
itemkey => l_itemkey,
process => 'IRHR_SELFSERVICE_CHANGE_PRC');
insert into log_not values('After Create Process');
     wf_engine.SetItemAttrText ( itemtype => 'HRSSA',
     itemkey => l_itemkey,
     aname => 'CURRENT_PERSON_DISPLAY_NAME',
avalue => p_employeename);
insert into log_not values('After CURRENT_PERSON_DISPLAY_NAME');
wf_engine.SetItemAttrText ( itemtype => 'HRSSA',
     itemkey => l_itemkey,
     aname => 'IRHR_OLD_VALUE',

insert into log_not values('After IRHR_OLD_VALUE');
wf_engine.SetItemAttrText ( itemtype => 'HRSSA',
     itemkey => l_itemkey,
     aname => 'IRHR_NEW_VALUE',
avalue => P_New_MS_Value);
insert into log_not values('After IRHR_NEW_VALUE');
wf_engine.SetItemAttrText ( itemtype => 'HRSSA',
     itemkey => l_itemkey,

     itemkey => l_itemkey,
     aname => 'FORWARD_TO_PERSON_ID',
     avalue => 572366);
     insert into log_not values('After FORWARD_TO_PERSON_ID');
     -- set the current forward to person username attribute
     wf_engine.SetItemAttrText ( itemtype => 'HRSSA',
     itemkey => l_itemkey,
     aname => 'FORWARD_TO_USERNAME',
     avalue => 'CHRISTOPHERHARRIS');
     insert into log_not values('After FORWARD_TO_USERNAME');
     -- set the current forward to display name attribute
     wf_engine.SetItemAttrText ( itemtype => 'HRSSA',
     itemkey => l_itemkey,
     aname => 'FORWARD_TO_DISPLAY_NAME',

     --insert into log_self values('Before Start Process');
--commit;
     wf_engine.startprocess(itemtype=> 'HRSSA', itemkey => l_itemkey);
     insert into log_not values('After startprocess');
However we find the workflow process not getting triggered. The same however happens when the script is executed sepreately and a commit is given after the Start process. Is there a way i can invoke in dynamic trigger as the dynamic trigger prohibits use of Commit.?
Pls help ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Gayatri Jayaraman

Hi,
The Object key which you passing to trigger is not correct. Give the full key preceded with Zero.

Purchase Order Information in Self Service Pages in HRMS

Hi,
Our system is on 12.1.3. We have a requirement such that a OAF page needs to be built and put after Location Changes (Self Service) which would give the Accounting segments and some other details as in Personal Info --> Assignemnts --> Purchase Order Info (D2K Forms of HRMS). User woudl select the values and then proceed to the review page.
1. How the data which the users would enter will be saved in the Transaction_API tables?
2. will that Automatically populate the review page with the old and new valuues.
if any one has worked on this please share the approach.
Thanks

Hi,
As far as my understanding and experience goes, page build is very complex using SSHR architecture as you will need to inherit SSHR AMs and Controller modules in your pages and also understand the code and supply of parameters etc to the pages. This will need a lot of research and though I want to help, It will be difficult to put it in a forum post in sufficient detail.
I can assure you the work involved will be in weeks than in days. Also, there is no way to display the review page based on a new region without custom build to do it.
However, a possible workaround which you could do is to use DFF or EIT to capture this information and then transfer it to the "Correct Home" of the data offline through a CP or via another node in the workflow.
Sorry to be pessimistic. Please let me know if I can help with anything else.

How to include AME Approvals on HRMS Enter and Maintain

Hi,
We're on 12.1.3 and have received a request to include approvals in the "Enter and Maintain" form of HRMS Manager responsibility. I've checked on the User Function "Combined Person & Assignment Form WF="GLB HRMS TSKFLW" and I can see the workflow name "WORKFLOW_NAME="GLOBAL HRMS PERSON TASKFLOW"
I've suggested to a consultant to create a copy of this workflow and customize it to include approvals. His response is that it's a taskflow, not a workflow, and therefore can't be customized. Is there a where to include approvals in Enter and Maintain form so that any changes to the employee details get approved?
dula

Hi Dula,
Do you want this approval to happen from PUI form. I dont think this this would be possible, at max you can send trigger alert(or any other notification) when there is any change on the personal record.However, if you self-service, whenever employee does any change on his record, you can configure AME, to send for approval.
Thanks,
Avinash

E-Business Suite exposes services in a number of ways. In HRMS, those services are essential PLSQL APIs, Java APIs and Workflow Business Events. All of these types of events are recorded in the Integration Repository, which is the foundation for the Integrated SOA Gateway in 12.1.
Now the Integrated SOA Gateway converts the PLSQL APIs (etc) into SOAP web services. This allows products like BPEL (and any technology that can consume web services) to integrate with the E-Business Suite. It's very powerful stuff and opens up all sorts of integration opportunities with E-Business Suite.
That said, there's nothing I know of in HRMS - out-the-box - that provides SMS or IVR integration. You could take a look at:

How To Send Oracle Alert Messages To Mobile Phones? [ID 1160113.1]
Is there Integration Between Mobile Services and iRecruitment? [ID 1283124.1]
But the first is designed for CRM and the latter 3 really just confirm a lack of out-the-box functionality.

PO Approval workflow change

Hi,
i`m new to EBS. Please tell me the steps for following changes in the PO Approval workflow
1.Any new PO that gets processed / approved in the system needs to auto run the PO Print program (to generate the PDF copy of the PO) with the email function switched on.
2.PO Print program needs to be modified to auto email docuclass ([email protected]) always ( even if email option is switched off) and email both buyer and PM ( if email option is on). Email subject should contain PO# and revision#.
Thanks,

Hi,
We are using an extended classic workflow . The workflow which has been customized to have 8 step of approvers at the max.
The agents are being identified based on the cost center assignment, for which the approvers have been maintained in a seperate HRMS system.( The cost center is linked to an org unit in HRMS where we derive the approvers).
There are some approvers that come into play depending on special criterias like EB attribute of the user.
Now the problem comes where there is an ad-hoc approval workflow also added to it which enables the user to add approvers manually but there is some problem in the agent transfer there. The step identified by the systm during runtime is not defined in the ad - hoc workflow also and hence the step shows no agent and it returns to the user who added the approver.
Kindly help as to what is the reason for the same and what can be done to rectify this.
With Regards,
Rajesh

Workflow Notification List - in HRIS -

Hi,
I looked into the notifications in more detail and it looks like all of the notifications are coming through to outlook, but they are not clearing out of the worklist like they used to. The other part is that they are taking time to go through to outlook. It seems to be sporadic. Some will come through right away and others will take a couple of hours or longer. An example of this was when x and y were testing the notifications for the app. I sent three changes through. She received 2 of them right away and the third one went through to her a couple hours later.
Basically what is causing the Notifications not being going away - any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
This is on 11.5.10.2.0

Please advise

Notification mailers can also process e-mail responses from users, using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP). A notification mailer uses a Java-based e-mail parser to interpret the text of each message and create an XML representation of it.
A notification mailer uses three folders in your response mail account for response processing: one to receive incoming messages, one to store processed messages, and one to store discarded messages.
A notification mailer does the following to process response messages:
Logs into its IMAP e-mail account.
Checks the inbox folder for messages. If a message exists, the notification mailer reads the message, checking for the notification ID (NID) and node identifier in the NID line.
If the message is not a notification response, meaning it does not contain an NID line, the notification mailer moves the message to the discard folder and treats it as an unsolicited message. For the first unsolicited message from a particular e-mail address, the notification mailer also sends a warning message back to the sender of the message.
However, to avoid sending unnecessary warnings due to bounced or auto-reply messages, each mailer node stores a list of e-mail addresses from which it has received unsolicited mail, and does not send any further warning messages to those addresses. Instead, if the node receives a second unsolicited message from a particular address, the notification mailer discards the message and raises the oracle.apps.wf.mailer.unsolicited event. You can optionally define a subscription to this event if you want to perform some other action in response to the second unsolicited message. For all subsequent unsolicited messages, the notification mailer simply discards the message.

Request Tips for Setting up Test Modules (HRMS, AR, AP) in R12

Hi
I am fairly new to Oracle Financials and recently installed R12 on my linux box for trying and testing. My question may sound silly to many but please bear with me. After Installation I could login with SYSADMIN account and I can see Oracle E Business Suite, Oracle Applications Home Page.

Now my question is how can I goto the screens of HRMS or Account Receivables etc from where I can customize the module. For example, if I want to define the chart of accounts, form where shall I start since the options listed above dont mention anything related to Accounts or HR or Inventory etc.
Any help will be appreciated.
Please note that I chose almost all the options during the installation time therefore I am 100% sure that these modules must have been installed.
Thank you all in advance.

Third party address validation in ESS pages using workflows

Can anyone help out in giving some ideas for solutioning the following.
Address entered in the page "Main Address: Enter New Address" of
Employee Self Service needs to be validated using third party PL/SQL API. This PL/SQL API is available in the same schema where HRMS objects are available. After the validating the address, user can be shown recommended or invalid address message when address entered is not valid. User can accept the recommended address or reject it in which case the original user entered address would be saved.
ESS pages are using workflows. What is the best design to call the third party address validation from the workflow and show the page with recommended address/invalid address message with "Accept" and "Reject" options. Can anyone help out on what are the technical possibilities to implement this address validation in the ESS page?.

After the validation, user is shown a page with "Ok" and "Cancel" options ( please note as said earlier we are not going with "Accept" or "Reject") along with recommended address if the address needs to be corrected. If user clicks "Ok", user will be in the Address update page and can edit the address with the recommded address. If user clicks "Cancel", control goes to next page by saving the address what ever is entered intially.
After passing through the validation logic in the work flow process and based on the result returned, can a OAF page be invoked which can show recommended address with OK and Cancel buttons?

Workflow Process - Leave of Absence in R12

Hey guys,
I am trying to find out the workflow process name for the Leave of Absence process using the FND FUNCTION Name.
Previously in 11i you were able to find out the process name (pProcessName=HR_LOA_JSP_PRC) using the parameters field in the function definition screen.
pProcessName=HR_LOA_JSP_PRC&pItemType=HRSSA&pCalledFrom=HR_LOA_SS&pPersonID=&pFromMenu=Y
But the parameters field in 12i has a reference to a Generic process name.
Any Idea how to find the process name? I had heard that the architecture had changed? so anyone has any idea or doc or metalink note on this?
new 12i function
OAFunc=HR_LOA_SS&pAMETranType=SSHRMS&pAMEAppId=800&pProcessName=HR_GENERIC_APPROVAL_PRC&pItemType=HRSSA&pCalledFrom=HR_LOA_SS&pApprovalReqd=YD&pNtfSubMsg=HR_ABS_NTF_SUB_MSG&pConcAction=N
---------------------------------------------

There seems to some kind of change of concept with respect to some of the workflows.
Found the below text from the workflow developer guide.
Self Service Generic Approval Process (HR_GENERIC_APPROVAL_PRC) - This approval process supplied by Oracle Self-Service Human Resources is used across HRMS products such as Oracle iRecruitment, Oracle Training administration, Oracle Talent Management (Appraisal), and others, as well as by Oracle Self-Service Human Resource. The Self Service Generic Approval Process provides extensive capability including the features delivered through the Notification Process for Approvers and Notifiers. This generic approval process can be invoked directly from BC4J Java code by passing mandatory attributes for AME callback. Also it provides callbacks for dynamic notification message subject generation with product specific-callbacks.
