procedure CreateAdHocUser
(name in out varchar2, display_name in out varchar2, language in varchar2 default null, territory in varchar2 default null, description in varchar2 default null, notification_preference in varchar2 default 'MAILHTML', email_address in varchar2 default null, fax in varchar2 default null, status in varchar2 default 'ACTIVE', expiration_date in date default sysdate);
Description
Creates a user at runtime by creating a value in the WF_LOCAL_USERS table. This is referred to as an ad hoc user.
Attention: If you implement Oracle Internet Directory integration, you must maintain your users only through OID. You must not use the CreateAdHocUser( ) API to create new users in the WF_LOCAL_USERS table, because you risk discrepancies in your user information and unpredictable results if you use any tool other than OID to maintain users after integrating with OID.
Arguments (input)
name | An internal name for the user. The name must less than 30 characters long and is all uppercase. This procedure checks that the name provided does not already exist in WF_USERS and returns an error if the name already exists. If you do not provide an internal name, the system generates an internal name for you where the name contains a prefix of '~WF_ADHOC-' followed by a sequence number. |
display_name | The display name of the user. This procedure checks that the display name provided does not already exist in WF_USERS and returns an error if the display name already exists. If you do not provide an display name, the system generates one for you where the display name contains a prefix of '~WF_ADHOC-' followed by a sequence number. |
language | The value of the database NLS_LANGUAGE initialization parameter that specifies the default language-dependent behavior of the user's notification session. If null, the procedure resolves this to the language setting of your current session. |
territory | The value of the database NLS_TERRITORY initialization parameter that specifies the default territory-dependant date and numeric formatting used in the user's notification session. If null, the procedure resolves this to the territory setting of your current session. |
description | An optional description for the user. |
notification_preference | Indicate how this user prefers to receive notifications: 'MAILTEXT', 'MAILHTML', 'MAILATTH', 'QUERY' or 'SUMMARY'. If null, the procedure sets the notification preference to 'MAILHTML'. |
email_address | A optional electronic mail address for this user. |
fax | An optional Fax number for the user. |
status | The availability of the user to participate in a workflow process. The possible statuses are 'ACTIVE', 'EXTLEAVE', 'INACTIVE', and 'TMPLEAVE'. If null, the procedure sets the status to 'ACTIVE'. |
expiration_date | The date at which the user is no longer valid in the directory service. If null, the procedure defaults the expiration date to sysdate. |
