Workflow Notification Approver Tracking

Hi,
I am sending out a approval notification to a group email address. So multiple people will receive the approval email. So suppose if one of them approves the request I want to know which one of the group members approved that request. Can you please suggest how to get this data. I want to know which one of the email group members approved the request.
Awaiting help
thanks
Praveen

In addition to what Matt has said, starting 11.5.10 / 2.6.3.5 following is the behavior.
1. When an e-mail response is processed by the mailer, the From: email address of the response is taken as the responder e-mail address. This address could belong to a valid user within the Oracle Apps workflow directory services or a different email address since the original e-mail could have been forwarded to another before before responded to.
2. If the e-mail address matches a valid user in the directory services, the WF_NOTIFICATIONS.RESPONDER column will have the user name and not the e-mail address. If the email address does not match any user name, the email address is stored in RESPONDER column as email:[email protected]
Hope this helps.

KIMYONG: Outbound Workflow Notification Event Message 를 tracking하는 방법

Purpose
Outbound Workflow Notification Event Message 가 발송됐으나 user가 받아보지 못한경우 가 발생했으나 user
이를 tracking하는 방법을 알아보고자 한다.
Solution
1. notification 이 발송될때 oracle.apps.wf.notification.send event발생한다
event key 로 Notification ID 를 사용한다.
2. 다음 조건에서만 The e-mail notification이 발송된다.
i) Notification status is OPEN or CANCELED
ii) Notification mail_status is MAIL or INVALID
SELECT status, mail_status
FROM wf_notifications
WHERE notification_id = '&nid';
iii) Recipient Role has a valid e-mail address and notification preference is in the format MAIL%
SELECT email_address,
nvl(WF_PREF.get_pref(name, 'MAILTYPE'),notification_preference)
FROM wf_roles
WHERE name = upper('&recipient_role');
iv) Workflow Deferred Agent Listener is running
v) Workflow Notification Mailer is running
3. e-mail로 발송되기전 message가 2번 정지한다.
Raised --> WF_DEFERRED Queue --> Processed by Deferred Agent Listener --> WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT Queue --> Processed by Notification Mailer and sent as e-mail
4. oracle.apps.wf.notification.send을 dispatch 할때 error가 발생하면
message 는WF_ERROR queue에 enqueue되고 .
Error Agent Listener 가 WF_XML.Error_Rule 을 수행하는 oracle.apps.wf.notification.send 의
ERROR subscription 을 dispatch합니다.
5. notification id 와 WF_DEFERRED and WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue 의 message stauts 등을 확인하기 위해 $FND_TOP/sql/wfmlrdbg.sql 를 수행합니다.
PROCESSED in WF_DEFERRED - The message is enqueued to WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT
PROCESSED in WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT - The message is sent as e-mail
READY in WF_DEFERRED - Check if Deferred Agent Listener is running
READY in WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT - Check if Notification Mailer is running
6. notification id 의 outbound XML message 를 분석합니다.
. The wfmlrdbg.sql output provides the XML message generated by WF_XML.Generate at the time the script is run. If the original XML message used by the mailer is required to be analyzed following SQL may be used.
SELECT tab.user_data.text_lob text_lob
FROM applsys.aq$wf_notification_out tab
WHERE dbms_lob.instr(tab.user_data.text_lob,'&1') > 0
7. 필요하다면 WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue 를 rebuild 합니다.
The wfntfqup.sql script rebuilds the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue by dropping and recreating
that queue, removing pending notification messages from the WF_DEFERRED queue, and
repopulating the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue from the Oracle Workflow Notification System
tables.
Wfntfqup.sql Version >=115.9
If you have implemented Oracle Alert and the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue contains any pending
alert e-mail messages, those messages must be processed before the queue can be rebuilt. The
wfntfqup.sql script checks the queue for any alert e-mail messages and, if it finds any, the
script returns an error message that specifies how many alert e-mail messages are pending
and indicates that these messages must be processed before the script can run.
Wfntfqup.sql Version <= 115.8
If you have implemented Oracle Alert and the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue contains any pending
alert e-mail messages, those messages must be processed before the queue can be rebuilt. The
wfntfqup.sql script checks the queue for any alert e-mail messages and, if it finds any,
exits without performing any changes.
Stop Notification Mailer, rebuild Mailer Queue using $FND_TOP/patch/115/sql/wfntfqup.sql.

Why GL Open Period related Workflow Notification is not able to be created on Worklist?

Hi Guru,
Our system is R12.1.2 and I expected and am waiting for WF notification when I closed and re-opened GL Period as Business Events oracle.apps.gl.CloseProcess.period.close, oracle.apps.gl.CloseProcess.period.open and oracle.apps.gl.CloseProcess.period.reopen are predefined and enabled.
But there is not.
Would you please let me know the reason and what would be resolution?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Alan,
I can’t reproduce your issue, but you can change the requested by on the task form to “created by” column. Go to SharePoint
designer, open the workflow, under forms section, click task type form workname.xsn to open it in InfoPath form, then you can change the requested by to created by.
For more information, see

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?

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;

Set up the IMAP4 compilance unique inbound email with INBOX, PROCESS and DISCARD folders
Configure the inbound email from OTM
Ignore the outbound email configuratiion from OTM becasue it is already working. It is set with SMTP
Check the inbound and outbound connection from ebs server
If you can not ping the IMAP server or telnet the SMTP server from ebs server. Make sure firewall/ports are open
Add inbound and outbound server entry in server host file
Apply the patch 16328729 for iPad compatibility
Test it
What would be the over all impact of this change. will the users still able to approve the notification using the attachment or this will change.

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,

Workflow notification are not sending to employee

gusy,
on 11.5.10
We have created New type in Special information which access by SSHR,In this page in sshr employee enter their information and send to manager for approval,while submiting system shoud be generated two notification one for requester and other for supervisor,but the requestor notification are not sending while supervisor is woking fine,so how can i rectify what the exact prolem with requestor notification,
could you please adive..
Thanks

The workflow notification back to the requestor is just an FYI notification. When the Workflow Mailer emails a copy of the FYI notification it automatically closes the workflow notification.
Could it be that this is happening? Try this:
1) Login as the Requestor and access their Worklist
2) Change the view to see 'Closed' Notifications
3) Do you see the notification in the list of closed notifications?
If so, try temporarily disabling the Workflow Mailer so that no email copies are sent and then repeat the SIT request. Does the requestor now see that notification in their 'Open' notifications?
