Notification Mailer

• The notifications component includes a program called the Notification Mailer. This program communicates notifications to users via e-mail and interprets responses. The Notification Mailer has implementations that can integrate directly with:

• Oracle Internet Messaging 4.2

• UNIX Sendmail

• MAPI-compliant mail applications

• The Oracle Internet Messaging and UNIX Sendmail implementations are installed automatically during the Oracle Workflow Server installation process. Oracle Internet Messaging does not have to be installed on the same server as Oracle Workflow, but UNIX Sendmail does.

• The MAPI-compliant implementation is installed on your Windows NT PC using the Oracle Universal Installer from the Oracle8i Client CD. It requires a Windows NT MAPI-compliant mail application installed on the PC that is acting as your mail server.

Oracle Workflow Monitor

• Oracle WebDB, Oracle Web Application Server, or Oracle Application Server must be installed on a server machine with access to an ISO 9660 format CD-ROM. If you do not have access to a CD-ROM drive from the workstation, then you must be able to copy files using binary file transfer from a PC or other machine with a CD-ROM drive.

Note: These notes assume that you have an understanding of web technology and the Oracle WebDB, Oracle Web Application Server, or Oracle Application Server architecture. For additional information, refer to the online help provided with Oracle WebDB, Oracle Web Application Server, or Oracle Application Server.

• To use the Workflow Monitor you need access to a Web browser that supports Java Development Kit (JDK) Version 1.1.4 and AWT. Netscape Communicator 4.0.4 or higher is an example of such a client.

Oracle Workflow Notifications

• To view the Notifications web pages, you need access to a Web browser that supports frames and JavaScript. Netscape Communicator 4.0.4 or higher is an example of such a client.

• To respond to e-mail notifications with HTML attachments, your e-mail application must support HTML attachments and you must use a Web browser application that supports frames and JavaScript to view the attachment. Netscape Communicator 4.0.4 is an example of such a client.
