Step 6 Setting the Socket Listener Profile Options

The Notification Details web page can display an attached form icon to support form attributes in a notification message. Oracle Applications users can launch the Oracle Workflow Notification Worklist from their Oracle Applications menus.

From the Worklist, users can select a notification link to display the contents of a notification in the Notification Details page. If the notification details display an attached form icon, users can choose that icon to launch an Oracle Applications form.

Before Oracle Workflow can launch the form from the Notification Details page, it must check for appropriate context information with Oracle Applications. To accomplish this, the socket listener on the form side must be active.

You can activate the Oracle Applications socket listener by setting the Socket Listener Activated profile option to Yes using the System Profile Values Window.

In addition, the Workflow Administrator needs to specify the following token values in $FND_TOP/resource/<language>/wfcfg.msg for the Java plugin:

WF_CLASSID			<Class ID for Jinitiator>

	(Required if you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer.)

WF_PLUGIN_DOWNLOAD	<Plugin location>

	(Such as http://<server>/OA_JAVA/.)

WF_PLUGIN_VERSION		<Plugin version>

	(Such as 1.1.7.27.)

Run the Workflow Resource Generator to load the contents of wfcfg.msg into the WF_RESOURCES table.

You can also set these three values in the Global Preferences page. See: To Set Global User Preferences.

You must also set the Socket Listener Port profile option to the port at which Oracle Workflow should launch attached forms. This profile option can be set to different ports for different users.

If the socket listener port is not set at user level, Oracle Workflow launches attached forms at the default port set for the site. However, if users have set different ports, Oracle Workflow launches the forms for each user at the specified port. By using different socket listener ports, two different users logged into Oracle Applications on the same machine can both launch attached forms at the same time without interference from each other.

Context: You need to perform this step only once.

See: To run the Workflow Resource Generator.
