R12 – How to use Business Events in Oracle Workflow

Following is a simple step by step guide to use Business Events feature of Oracle Workflow in Oracle Applications (E-Business Suite).
Step 1) Navigate to the workflow administrator responsibility and choose the Business Events function. Define a Business Event.Owner name should be application name and owner tag should be the application short name.
Step 2) Define a Subscription for the Business Event defined in Step 1

  1.  System => should be the name of the database where the workflow is installed
  2. Phase => Keep the value for phase as 99 if you want the workflow to run immediately.
  3. Event Filter => Name of the event



Step 3) In workflow builder create a workflow item type and define 3 attributes as follows



Step 4) Create a event as follows



Step 5) Create a process as follows

Note: The starting node should be the Event that we have created



Associate the attributes that were created with the Event in the process.



Step 6) Test the event



Click “Raise in PLSQL”.


Now check if the workflow has been triggered in the Status Monitor

Parameters for a PL/SQL in Workflow API

Parameters for a PL/SQL :

When the Workflow Engine calls a stored procedure for a unction activity, it passes four parameters to the procedure and may expect a result when the procedure completes.

Itemtype (IN) : Internal name of the item
Itemkey (IN) : A string to uniquely identify the item type instance
Actid (IN) : ID of the activity from where this procedure is called.
Funcmode (IN) : Execution mode of the activity
Resultout (OUT) : Result Type of the activity

FUNCMODE : For functions, it can be RUN or CANCEL
For notifications, it can be RESPOND, FORWARD, TRANSFER or TIMEOUT

RESULTOUT : COMPLETE:: Activity successful.
WAITING : Pending for some other activity
DEFERRED: : Activity deferred till
NOTIFIED::: Activity notified to with a . Externally, must be completed using WF_ENGINE.CompleteActivity.
ERROR: :Activity encounters an error

PL/SQL Coding Standards

Procedure
( itemtype in varchar2,
itemkey in varchar2,
actid in number,
funcmode in varchar2,
resultout out varchar2 )
is

Begin
if ( funcmode = ’RUN’ ) then
resultout := ’COMPLETE:’;
return;

Example for Custom Requisition WF :

PROCEDURE Req_App_Process(Requisitionid IN VARCHAR2,
RequisitionDesc IN VARCHAR2,
RequisitionAmount IN NUMBER,
RequestorUsername IN VARCHAR2,
ProcessOwner IN VARCHAR2,
Workflowprocess IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
item_type IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL ) IS
—
ItemType VARCHAR2(30) := NVL(item_type,’WFDEMO’);
ItemKey VARCHAR2(30) := RequisitionNumber;
ItemUserKey VARCHAR2(80) := RequisitionDesc;
—
BEGIN
—
— Start Process :
— If workflowprocess is passed, it will be run.
— If workflowprocess is NOT passed, the selector function
— defined in the item type will determine which process to run.
—
Wf_Engine.CreateProcess( ItemType => ItemType,
ItemKey => ItemKey,
process => WorkflowProcess );

Wf_Engine.SetItemUserKey (ItemType => ItemType,
ItemKey => ItemKey,
UserKey => ItemUserKey);

Allow Modification to Customized Objects in WorkFlow

Allow Modification to Customized Objects

“Allow modifications of customized objects” check box in the “About Oracle Workflow Builder”

When Checked :
The range of editable access levels can appear as a combination of solid green and crosshatch grey areas.
The levels depicted by grey crosshatches represent levels that usually cannot modify customized objects, but can now do so because Oracle Workflow Builder is operating in ’upload’ mode.
Upload mode means that Oracle Workflow Builder can save your edits, overwriting any protected objects that you have access to modify as well as any previously customized objects.

When Unchecked :
The range of editable access levels appears as a solid green area.
This indicates that when you save your work, Oracle Workflow Builder is operating in ’upgrade’ mode, only saving edits to protected objects that you have access to change and leaving objects that have been previously customized untouched.
Note: An object appears with a small red lock over its icon in the navigator tree to indicate that it is a read–only if you are operating at an access level that does not have permission to edit an object, that is, your access level is in a white area of the Range of Editable Access Levels’ indicator bar.

Default Protection Levels :
The following range of levels are presumed by Oracle Workflow:
0-9 Oracle Workflow
10-19 Oracle Application Object Library
20-99 Oracle Applications development
100-999 Customer organization.
You can determine how you want this range to be interpreted. For example, 100 can represent headquarters, while 101 can represent a regional office, and so on.
1000 Public
