Oracle Workflow Builder is a graphical tool for creating, viewing, and modifying workflow process definitions. It contains a Navigator window that you use to define the activities and components of your business process. You then assemble the activities in a process window to create a process diagram. See: Creating Process Definitions in Oracle Workflow Builder.

Note: A workflow process definition can also be stored as a flat file, which can be opened and edited in a text editor so that the process definition can be spoken by a screen reader for greater user accessibility.

The Navigator window displays a navigator tree hierarchy for each data store that you open or load into Oracle Workflow Builder. A data store (primary branch) is a database connection or flat file that holds your workflow process definition. Within each data store there is at least one item type heading (secondary branch) that represents the grouping of a particular set of processes and its component objects. The following tertiary branches appear beneath each item type branch:

Before using Oracle Workflow Builder, you should plan what your process needs to accomplish. In particular, determine what activities need to occur, the order of the activities, what results dictate the different branches of the process, who needs to be informed and what they need to know. Oracle Workflow provides several demonstration workflow examples. See: Sample Workflow Processes.

Display the Process window for your process activity to diagram the activities and transitions that define your workflow process. You can drag activities from the navigator tree into the Process window. See: Diagramming a Process.

Important: Always save a copy of your workflow process definition as a flat file and check that file into a source control system to maintain a working version of your process definition. Avoid using the process definition stored in your database as your source controlled version, as others with access to the database can update the definition.

The Quick Start Wizard lets you begin designing a workflow process immediately. It first loads a file called wftemplate.wft that is an outline of all the mandatory objects you need to build a workflow process and then displays a Process window for you to diagram your process. Once you initiate the Quick Start Wizard, you can take the bottom-up or top-down approach to complete your workflow process definition.

Take a top-down design approach by creating activities that contain minimum information so you can draw the workflow diagram first. You can go back later to fill in the details of each activity and its supporting objects. See: To Create a Process Definition from Top-Down.

For example, you can create, view, and modify workflow processes that include only Release 2.5 features. The current Oracle Workflow Builder version can upload and download these process definitions to a database with Oracle Workflow Server Release 2.5 installed.

If you are using the Release 2.6.3 Oracle Workflow Builder with Oracle Workflow Server Release 2.6 or higher embedded in Oracle E-Business Suite, you can use all currently available features in your workflow processes. You can save these process definitions to the database and open process definitions from the database to view or modify them.

If you are using the Oracle Workflow Builder with Oracle Workflow Server Release 2.5, you must include only Release 2.5 features in your workflow processes. You must not use any of the following new features introduced in Release 2.6:

You can also create new workflow processes using only Release 2.5 components. However, the version of the Standard item type used by the Oracle Workflow Builder Release 2.6.3 contains some Release 2.6 components. If you want to save a new process definition to a database with Oracle Workflow Server Release 2.5, perform the following steps:

RE: Problems trying to connect Oracle Workflow !!! HELP jcar8 (Programmer)(OP)8 Dec 03 15:16Thanks sem, but that's not the problem, i've checked the tsnames.ora and it's correct, i can even connect to ofnxi using SQL+, but not using Oracle workflow RE: Problems trying to connect Oracle Workflow !!! HELP sem (Programmer)9 Dec 03 05:54It IS a problem. You probably have more than 1 Oracle Home, so you have a number of tnsnames.ora files. One that is used by Workflow is not correct. You may either replace it by correct one (along with sqlnet.ora file) or define TNS_ADMIN environment variable to point to the location of correct one. Regards, Dima

This workflow tutorial will illustrate how to create or define a new workflow from scratch including attributes, notifications, messages, roles or users, functions, processes and last but not the least, how to launch a workflow from PL/SQL. The workflow concepts are better explained using an example.

When an item is created in inventory, workflow needs to be launched and it should collect the details of the item created and sends a notification to group of users along with the details and link to master item form.

When an item is created it will create/insert a record in MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B so create a database trigger on the table and launch workflow from that trigger. All you need to do is create the workflow, create the trigger, pl/sql package, roles and finally create an item in inventory.

Oracle Workflow assigns a protection and customization level to every workflow object definition stored in the database and requires every user of Oracle Workflow to operate at a certain access level.

The combination of protection, customization, and access levels build the access protection feature and determine whether a user can modify a given workflow object. The level, in all three cases, is a numeric value ranging from 0 to 1000 that indicates the relationship between different organizations as providers and consumers of seed data.

Note: If you are going to run the Workflow Definitions Loader program to download workflow process definitions from the database to a file, check the value for the environment variable WF_ACCESS_LEVEL on your workflow server.

I am New to workflow,I have got requirement on ap invoice. once invoice sent to email notifications to approvars and also with attachment this is a requirement,please share any documents if any one have,email:cvysh...@gmail.com

Oracle workflow is a graphical tool that allows you to create, track, and modify the business process, embedded in the oracle database server, it can monitor the workflow activity statuses.
Benefits:

Routes information, Sends notifications, Defines process rules. The primary purposes of a workflow are to route information, send a notification, and define process rules. Although some history is maintained automatically by Oracle Workflow, it will not be considered as creating audit trails.

The Workflow Builder in Oracle Workflow is the graphical interface for workflow processes. The Workflow Engine drives items through workflow processes. The Workflow Monitor allows you to view and monitor workflow process instances and the Workflow Definitions Loader load workflow definitions from a text file or database.

Note: If you run Oracle Workflow Builder in Microsoft Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0 or higher, you can also double-click on a workflow data file (.wft) from the Windows Explorer to automatically open that file and start Oracle Workflow Builder.

You can create, view, and modify workflow process definitions that include new features introduced in Release 2.6, such as Business Event System components and, for standalone Oracle Workflow only, external Java function activities. The current Oracle Workflow Builder versions can upload and download these process definitions to a database with Oracle Workflow Server Release 2.6 installed.

Alternatively, if you do not want to take advantage of the Release 2.6 features, you can create, view, and modify workflow processes that include only Release 2.5 features. The current Oracle Workflow Builder versions can upload and download these process definitions to a database with Oracle Workflow Server Release 2.5 installed.

If you are using the Oracle Workflow Builder with Oracle Workflow Server Release 2.6 embedded in Oracle Applications, or with the standalone version of the Oracle Workflow Server Release 2.6.4, Release 2.6.3.5, Release 2.6.3, Release 2.6.2, or Release 2.6.1, you can use all currently available features for your version of Oracle Workflow, either standalone or embedded, in your workflow processes. You can save these process definitions to the database and open process definitions from the database to view or modify them.

If you are using the Oracle Workflow Builder with the base standalone version of Oracle Workflow Server Release 2.6, you can include most of the currently available features in your workflow processes. However, you must not use the Event Parameter lookup code which is now available in the Event Property lookup type, because this feature was added in the version of Release 2.6 embedded in Oracle Applications. Do not use the Event Parameter lookup code in any custom activities, and do not select the Event Parameter property in any of the following standard Workflow activities:
