Setting Up Opportunity Notification Workflows

Follow these steps to correctly set up the opportunity workflows:

• In Siebel Tools, revise all Siebel workflows so that they are editable and have a status of In Progress. All Siebel workflows are initially inactive and cannot be edited. Make any necessary changes and activate the workflows. For more information about how to revise Siebel workflows, see Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide.
• Verify that the Workflow Server component and the Communication Manager component are enabled and running. For detailed instructions, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network.

  NOTE:  For Siebel CRM product releases 8.1.1.9 and later and for 8.2.2.2 and later, the system requirements and supported platform certifications are available from the Certification tab on My Oracle Support. For information about the Certification application, see article 1492194.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support.

• Create a communications profile called Opportunity Notification Profile for the Internet SMTP/POP3 Server driver. Enter the appropriate values in the From Address and in the SMTP Server parameter overrides for the profile.
