Workflow :: Notification Timeout When Requested For Information?
Feb 21, 2013
We have implemented a approval notification for our customer which on a high level is as follows
requester -> Approver 1-> Approver 2
Once a request is submitted, the 'approval' notification goes to Approver 1 followed by Approver 2. The request is approved when both approves approve the request. If no action is taken by the approvers, the original notifications are cancelled and escalation notification is sent to supervisor of approver 2.
We have a timeout of 48 hours set for the initial approval notifications sent to the approvers (1 & 2). In case Approver 2 requests for more information using the 'Request information' button, the TIMEOUT clock does not seem to reset and the notification is cancelled after 48 hrs even if the notification is in the queue of the requester.
This is causing the escalation notification to be supervisor of approver 2.
The question here is why does the timeout clock not reset when the notification goes back to the requester for additional information. Is this how the standard oracle workflow notification behaves ? Is there a way to customize and achieve this ?
1. Our business users had a requirement to approve or reject the Workflow Notification Emails form their Email account on MS Outlook Express. When they perform action from MS Outlook Express it sends email to wfmailer but no action perform in application. The notification inbox in application shows this notification as OPEN notification and the requested function also shows 'Waiting for Approval'.
2. I need to hide Request Information button/link from the email notification send through Workflow mailer to user. There are three actions button available in email notification Approve, Reject and Request Information. I need to have only two button Approve and Reject. How to hide Request Information button.
Where are the details of the Actual Responder Details stored in the case of the below scenario
If a notification for one user was closed by another user through access to the first user's worklist, the name of the second user, who actually took the action, is displayed as the responder.
I am only able to find the Original Recipeint username in the wf_notifications table.But where will the details of the Actual Responder name displayed in the notification be stored.
When I use the "wf_notification.Responder" function, I get the Original Recipeint username of the user but not the one who acted on the notification. Is there ANY way by which I can get the Actual responder user name who acted on the notification
select responder from wf_notifications where notification_id = <nid> also gives me the Original Recipeint username of the user but not the one who acted on the notification
I have a requirement where I have to show attachment in R12.1.3 Sourcing Award Approval Notification.I am able to achieve this by adding #ATTACHMENTS attribute in the message and Attachment appears in the Notification in the E-Business work list but somehow its not appearing in "e-mail notification".
Customer sales order lines are fulfilled by IR-ISO. When line progresses, it is set to have Internal Req Requested status. A scheduled program runs amd IR are created. However, sales order line status does not change to Internal Req Open. It remains in Internal Req Requested status.
As a work around, workflow is rewound to 'Check ATR Qty' which is customized activity and then status changes to Internal Req Open. What could be the reason that workflow is not setting the status to Internal Req Open?
We want to be able to send attachments at the invoice header level with the invoice approval workflow email as attachments. The standard workflow does not provide this functionality.
We were able to achieve this functionality using the approach given here:
[URL]........
Basically we added a document type attribute to the notification message, and set a BLOB variable to it inside our custom procedure, which is set as the function for the notification: DOCUMENT_APPROVAL_REQUEST.
Now we are able to see the attachments coming as attachments in approval request emails to the approvers. But the issue is that the first approver on the list, the requester is not seeing the attachments. All the other approvers can see the attachments. We have checked the WF Role for the user and the Notification preference is set as MAILHTML
As far as i can see, same notification and same message is used to send the email to all approvers including requester. Then why only requester is not getting the attachments?
I am getting the below error while deploying a workflow in Control Center.
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.sql.SQLException:

i`m new to EBS. 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 (test@tes.com) 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#.
After HRMS RUP6 patch, we overlooked a customization that set the Performer Type and Performer Role on an activity. Consequently, we have many workflows that are currently in progress and in an error status with:
HRSSA workflow errors with 3120: Activity 'HRSSA/343959' has no performer.
We see in the wf_process_activities table that the
PERFORM_ROLE and PERFORM_ROLE_TYPE for activity 343959 have the wrong values.
Their values are currently, PERFORM_ROLE_TYPE = 'CONSTANT' , PERFORM_ROLE is null.
They should be: PERFORM_ROLE_TYPE = 'ITEM_ATTR' and PERFORM_ROLE = 'FORWARD_TO_USER_NAME'.
This has been fixed for current workflows but the activities in error do not complete successfully on retry. Is there an API that allows us to set PERFORM_ ROLE and PERFORM_ROLE_TYPE on a specific activity?
I have one procedure which calls a function. My requirement is if that function didnt return value in 1 minute then stop the exection of that function and call next statement.
Begin (1)......... (2)....... (3) get_func_val:= function(1,2); (4)...... (5).... end;
My requirement is, if (3) doesn't return value in 1 minute, stop the execution of (3) and start executing (4).
is there any way to reduce the dblink timeout, i need to test if the remote server is up by testing the dblink throw 'select 1 from dual@link_name' but it take too long time 5-6 min., i need to make it 5 sec after that the exception tns timeout appear. I try with some sqlnet.ora parameters like INBOUND_ TIMEOUT but not work for me, also i try using tnsping but it also take long time when the remote server is down.

I have set up my dbms_scheduler schedule and all run fine. I have set up the smtp server for outgoing email and it all looks good just like multiple of our other boxes here.The problem is that the event (SUCCESS) for a job is raised yet the email notification is not sent. My question is this: Is there somewhere where the actual log of email notifications sent (and/or failure there-of) is actually kept?
We are developing a C++ server which will process based on time based events. For example if a particular user has configured a particular task that has to be processed at a particular time, then an event or notification needs to be sent to the C++ server from the database, to initiate the task. The timming configuration is stored in the database, and the C++ server shouldnt poll the database at an interval, but event should be notified from the database at the configured timming.
We are using odatabase and odynaset libraries to connect and access the oracle database 11g.
Is there any way to control the timeout before connecting via dblink. the idea is to test the dblink before calling functions over it, the problem it when i try 'select 1 from dual@dblink' in case if the remote server is down it takes too long time 5-7 min. which causing hang up the session,
So is there any parameter to reduce the waiting time say after 3 sec stop and return the timeout exception.I try the SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT parameter but not working, also try the tnsping but it alse take long time when the server down.
When I connect to a Oracle database(remote) using TOAD client, because of the settings of timeout done at the server end(in Oracle), the TOAD session gets time out in 5 minutes.
I want to know how I can increase the timeout interval or if I can keep on pinging the database server so that the TOAD connection does not gets timeout?
PS: When we connect to a unix server using putty, we can keep on pining the server at regular timeout interval by going to Change Settings->Connection->Set KeepAlive

Current value: 3695.652173913043478260869565217391304348My problem is, that I can't interprete this value and don't know, if that is really terrible so I have to do something.
