Additional Required Setup Steps
After you complete the Oracle Workflow installation process, you must perform some additional steps to set up Oracle Workflow for your site. Refer to the Setting Up Oracle Workflow chapter in the Oracle Workflow Guide for information on how to complete these and other setup steps for Oracle Workflow. The setup steps include:
1. Mapping Oracle Workflow's directory service views to your organization's users and roles. Oracle Universal Installer automatically executes the wfdirouv.sql script to map the directory service views to your native Oracle users and roles. You can either create your own script or customize and rerun this script to map the directory service views to the users and roles defined in your organization's directory repository.
Attention: The wfdirouv.sql script sets each native Oracle user's e-mail address to the user's respective username. As a minimal setup step, you should edit the wfdirouv.sql script to either link your native Oracle users to an existing mail directory store through the WF_ROLES view definition or, if the usernames and e-mail account names match, then simply add the domain for your organization, such as '@oracle.com', to the usernames in the WF_USERS view definition.
2. Creating a view called WF_LANGUAGES that identifies the languages defined in your Oracle8 installation.
3. Defining an environment variable called http_proxy.
4. Defining an environment variable called WF_RESOURCES.
Attention: Do not enclose environment variable values in double quotes (" ") as this is not supported.
5. Defining a document management system node for Oracle Workflow if you wish to integrate document management attachments in a workflow process.
6. Configuring the default user preferences for your enterprise in the Global User Preferences web page.
7. Configuring and running the Notification Mailer program so users can receive e-mail notifications or e-mail notification summaries.
8. Initiating background Workflow engines to process deferred work and timed out activities.
9. Customizing e-mail notification templates.
10. Customizing the Notification Web page logo.
