Introducing Workflow Builder


Workflow builder is a development tool we will use to develop our workflow processes. It has a navigator similar to Oracle forms which is used to define attributes, processes, notifications, functions, events, messages, and lookup types. We can create and use these objects to build our processes. It is assumed that you have it installed on your PC.

How to do it...

There is a feature called access protection in Workflow Builder and this allows objects within a workflow to be locked. This prevents seeded workflows from being modified. Nearly all objects within Oracle Workflow have an Access tab on the Properties window except lookup codes, function attributes, and message attributes which inherit access protection settings from their parent object. The level of access can be set in Workflow Builder and developers need to set access levels as defined in the following list:

  • 0-9 is reserved for Oracle Workflow

  • 10-19 is reserved for Oracle Application Object Library...
