procedure TRANSFER

(nid in number,
 new_role in varchar2,
 forward_comment in varchar2 default null);

Java Syntax

public static boolean transfer

    (WFContext wCtx,
     BigDecimal nid,
     String newRole
     String comment)

Description

This procedure forwards a notification to a new role and transfers ownership of the notification to the new role. It also implicitly calls the Callback function specified in the Send or SendGroup function with TRANSFER mode. A comment can be supplied to explain why the forward is taking place. The Transfer feature in the Notification System calls this procedure. Note that when you transfer a notification, the transfer is recorded in the USER_COMMENT field of the notification.

Attention: Existing notification attributes (including due date) are not refreshed or otherwise changed except for ORIGINAL_RECIPIENT, which identifies the owner of the notification.

Arguments (input)

wCtx	Workflow context information. Required for the Java method only. See: Oracle Workflow Context.
nid	The notification id.
new_role or newRole	The role name of the person the note is transferred to.
forward_comment or comment	An optional comment to append to notification.

The following code excerpt shows an example of how to call transfer() in a Java program. The example code is from the WFTest.java program.

// transfer to MBEECH
System.out.println("Transfer Test");
System.out.println("Transfer nid " + myNid + 
    " from BLEWIS to MBEECH");
WFNotificationAPI.transfer(ctx, myNid, "MBEECH",
    "Matt, You own it now.");
count = WFNotificationAPI.workCount(ctx, "MBEECH");
System.out.println("There are " + count + 
    " open notification(s) for" + 
    p" MBEECH after Transfer.");
