Notify Activity

The Notify function activity lets you send a notification, where the message being sent is determined dynamically at runtime by a prior function activity. To use the Notify activity, you must model a prerequisite function activity into the process that selects one of several predefined messages for the Notify activity to send.

Attention: Since the Notify activity is locked against modifications at access level 0, you cannot change the result type from its value of <None>. Therefore, the message that the function activity dynamically selects must not have a result type, that is, it can only be an informative message that does not solicit a response.

Attention: If you want the Notify activity to send a message that requires a response, then you must copy and create your own version of the Notify activity. Since any one of several messages (with response attributes) can be sent by your version of the Notify activity, you must model into your process all the possible notification results that can be returned.

The Notify activity calls a PL/SQL procedure named WF_STANDARD.NOTIFY.
