How to Integrate OAF Region in Oracle Workflow Notifications with example

Introduction

This document gives a step by step description of the following:

• How to integrate an OAF region in the oracle workflow notification.

• How to create a Function using Oracle Apps.

Step 1:

Create an attribute of Type: Document in Oracle workflow Builder.

Specify the Value of this document type attribute as:

JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=CRD_NOTE_ID_OAF_REGION-&initiationReqId=-&CREDIT_NOTE_REQUEST_NUM-&invType=-&INV_TYPE_EC-&refCrdNoteNumber=-&CREDIT_NOTE_REFERENCE_NUM

In the value:

JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=CRD_NOTE_ID_OAF_REGION-&initiationReqId=-&CREDIT_NOTE_REQUEST_NUM-&invType=-&INV_TYPE_EC-&refCrdNoteNumber=-&CREDIT_NOTE_REFERENCE_NUM

1. CRD_NOTE_ID_OAF_REGION - Function

• This function is defined in Oracle Applications and points to the OAF page which we want to embed in the Notification region.

• OAF page should be standalone Region (Stack Layout) with a Custom Application Module and Controller attached to it.

2. initiationReqId / invType / refCrdNoteNumber – variable Names

• By using this name we can get the attribute passed through the workflow in the OAF page.

3. CREDIT_NOTE_REFERENCE_NUM / INV_TYPE_EC / CREDIT_NOTE_REFERENCE_NUM - internal name of the attributes in the workflow.

Step 3: To create a Message:

Create a Message and drag the attribute (document type) in the message as shown below:

By specifying &ITEM_ATTR_INTERNAL_NAME in the message body we can embed any message attribute (here OAF region).

Step 4: To create a Standalone Region using OAF:

In the Controller of the OAF Region:

public void processRequest (OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)

{

super.processRequest (pageContext, webBean);

OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule (webBean);

// TO GET THE INITIATION REQUEST ID: 341

String initiationReqId = pageContext.getParameter ("initiationReqId");

// TO GET THE INVOICE TYPE: EC, PT, FE

String invType = pageContext.getParameter ("invType");

// TO GET THE REFERNCE CREDIT NOTE NUMBER: SRV2010/00002

String refCrdNoteNumber = pageContext.getParameter ("refCrdNoteNumber");

}
