Auditing Triggers and Procedures
The audit trigger names contain the first 26 characters of the

audited table name plus ”_AI”, ”_AU” or ”_AD”, where I, U or D
indicates Insert, Update or Delete, respectively.
The audit procedure names use the first 26 characters of the

table name plus ”_AIP”, ”_AUP” or ”_ADP”.

Why Concurrent Processing
● Does not interfere with the interactive work you perform at your
computer
● Use the Standard Request Submission (SRS) interface to run
reports and programs
● View the Status / Output / Log information
● Schedule reports and programs
● Control access to different reports and programs
● Alert on completion
● Fully use the capacity of your hardware by executing many
application tasks at once.

Administering Concurrent Managers
● Define Managers and their work shifts

● Specialize managers to run only certain programs
● Classify a program as a request type
● Monitor concurrent processing using Oracle Enterprise Manager

Flexfields
A Flexfield is a flexible data field that your organization can customize
for your business needs without programming. Oracle Applications
uses two types of flexfields:
● Key Flexfields
● Descriptive Flexfields
Business Needs
● Intelligent fields
● Field Validation
● Ability to modify structure
● Capture additional information
● Multiple field structure based on data context

The wiring for

Oracle Workflow
e-business

Why Work Flow
Manage the process, not the transactions
Automates and steam-lines business processes contained

within and between enterprise
● Validate self-service transactions
● Achieve closed loop business intelligence
● Approve standard business documents
● Step through daily transaction flows

Why Work Flow
Workflow enables continuous process improvement
● Complete process representation

Crosses organizational, company boundaries
● Adaptable workflow processes
Provide alternatives
Allow for refinement
● Analyze time and costs of entire processes with
multidimensional analysis

Workflow
● Route Information
● Define any Rule
● Deliver electronic notifications

Process Constructs Supports
● Looping
● Results-based branching
● Parallel flows
● Voting
● Subprocesses (unlimited hierarchy)
● Timeouts
○ Escalation
○ Automatic forwarding

Workflow
Workflow Engine
● Is embedded in the Oracle8i server

● Uses the process definition created with Oracle Workflow
Builder to coordinate the routing of activities for the process
● Monitors the state of each activity in a workflow process
● Signals any changes in the workflow state to the engine using
calls to PL/SQL or Java API’s
● Guarantees consistency between the application and the
workflow state because of Oracle8i transactional integrity

Workflow
Directory Services
● WF_USERS
○ Contains information on the user names, display
names for the users, their notification preference and
their e-mail addresses
● WF_USER_ROLES
○ Contains information on the association of the users
to the roles
● WF_ROLES
○ Contains information on the roles of which users can
be members
