procedure Notifications

    (itemtype in varchar2 default null,

     enddate in date default sysdate,

     docommit in boolean default TRUE);

Description

Deletes old eligible notifications from the tables WF_NOTIFICATION_ATTRIBUTES and WF_NOTIFICATIONS that are associated with the specified item type, have an END_DATE less than or equal to the specified end date, and are not referenced by an existing item. Also, any comments associated with these notifications are deleted from the WF_COMMENTS table. In Oracle Applications, any electronic signature information associated with these notifications is deleted from the WF_DIG_SIGS table as well. You can use this procedure to delete notifications that are not associated with any work item, such as notifications that were sent by calling WF_NOTIFICATION.Send( ) rather than through a workflow process.

Note: You should call Items( ) before calling Notifications( ) to avoid having obsolete item references prevent obsolete notifications from being deleted.

Arguments (input)

itemtype	Item type associated with the notifications you want to delete. Leave this argument null to delete notifications for all item types.
enddate	Specified date to delete up to.
docommit	Specify TRUE or FALSE to indicate whether to commit data while purging. If you want Notifications() to commit data as it purges to reduce rollback size and improve performance, specify TRUE. If you do not want to perform automatic commits, specify FALSE. Defaults to TRUE.
