Item Type Definition Web Page

The Web-based Item Type Definition page provides you with distributed access to workflow definitions stored in your Oracle Workflow database. The page provides a detailed view of the attributes, processes, notifications, functions, messages, and lookup types that are associated with a given item type, allowing you to present or do a design review of your workflow process.

To display an item type definition, you use the Find Item Type web page to first query for an item type. You can query for an item type based on an effective date and time.

The Item Type Definition page then appears. The information is displayed in two frames, modeled like the Oracle Workflow Builder, so that you can review the contents easily and effectively. The left frame lists all the objects in your item type definition in an expandable navigator tree. The right frame displays the details of the object you select in the navigator tree. You can also select either frame at any time and use your web browser to print all the information in that frame.

To Query an Item Type

1. Entering the following URL in your web browser:

	<webagent>/wf_item_definition.find_item_type

Replace the bracketed italicized text as follows:

<webagent>

<server.com:portID>/<PLSQL_agent_virtual_path>

Identifying the Oracle Web Agent used by Oracle Workflow

Note: You can also access the Find Item Type web page from the Oracle Workflow home page. See: Accessing the Oracle Workflow Home Page.

Note: If you are accessing this URL for the first time in your web browser session, Oracle WebServer prompts you for a valid username and password to log on, as this URL is protected. See: Secure the Workflow Database Connection Descriptor (DCD).

2. Use the Item Type poplist field to select an item type.

3. Specify the effective date and time of the item type definition you want to display using the format DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS.

4. Choose Find to display the item type in the Item Type Definition web page.

To Review an Item Type Definition

1. The Item Type Definition web page displays two frames. The frame on the left lists the components of an item type definition in hierarchical format similar to the navigator tree in Oracle Workflow Builder. The frame on the right lists the details of each component.

2. Click on any component link in the left hand frame to display the details of that component in the right hand frame.
