Concept of Oracle Workflow

Oracle Workflow consists of six major components that define and execute business process workflows. The Workflow Builder provides a graphical interface to create workflow definitions which are then loaded into the database by the Workflow Definitions Loader. The Workflow Engine executes the defined processes and the Workflow Monitor allows reviewing process states. Workflows are defined using stored procedures that interface with the Workflow Engine APIs to communicate status and attribute values during runtime execution.

Concept of Oracle Workflow A workflow consists of numerous processes reprents business process flows and information.

Each workflow process contains a set of activities,notifications,PL/SQL stored procedures or another sub process Workflow Components it contains 6 major components. 1.workflow Builder provides a graphical user interface for creating and maintaing definations. 2.workflow Engine is the component that executes and enforces the defined workflow process 3.workflow Monitor Component of oracle workflow that allows you to review the state or status 4.workflow Definitions Loader is the component that allows you to download or load workflow definitions to and from the date base or test files. 5.Notification System. the notification mailer is a program that concurrently sends emails and receive responses. 6. workflow Directory Services work flow Dir services is the component that identifies the directory repository. Work flow Functions are stores in PL/SQL procedures there is a standard API format for all stored procedures function variables. Itemtype -->A category of items that share the same set of attributes. itemkey--> A unique key identifier within the same item type for specific item passing actid ---> the unique identifier of the activity that calls this stored procedure. Result--> the result of the stored procedure can be Complete:Result_code DEFERRED:date ERROR:Error_code Notified:notification_Id Waiting The format of stored procedure declaration will be PROCEDURE your_procedure( itemtype in varchar2, itemkey in varchar2, actid in number, funcmode in varchar2, result out varchar2) Is in funcmode variable to execute codes that correspond to the RUN,CANCEL and TIMEOUT modes. APIs inside the stored procedure you must use workflow Engine APIs to communicate with workflow engine. All workflow Engine APIs present inside the WF_ENGINE package. API'S inside the WF_ENGINE SetItemAttrText set the value of a text item attribute. SetItemAttrNumber set the value of a number Item attribute.

SetItemAttrDate set the value if a date item attribute GetItemAttrInfo Get type information about an item attribute CreateProcess create a new rntime process for an item StartProcess Begins execution of the process.
