Modifying Workflow Instance Properties

On the Workflow instance's Properties screen, click Update to enter changes. Oracle LSH creates a new version of the instance you are working on and applies your changes to it when you click Apply. Click Cancel to discard your changes and the new version.

You can modify some properties through the Actions drop-down list; see Using the Actions Drop-Down List for further information.

Note:

You must reinstall the Workflow for the changes to take effect.

You can modify the following:

• Name: See Naming Objects for further information.

• Description: See Creating and Using Object Descriptions for further information.

• Definition Source: This field applies to the instance only. It specifies the Workflow definition to which this Workflow instance points. It generally does not make sense to change the source definition for the following reasons:

  • Changing the definition may result in a new set of Activities, Transitions, Notifications, and Parameters.

  • Any new Table Descriptors are not mapped.

  • The Workflow's status changes to Non Installable.

  If you want to change to a new version of the same definition, use the Upgrade Instance option from the Actions drop-down list.
