Oracle Workflow:How to modify workflow administrator role in Oracle EBS?



By default,Oracle Workflow System administrator role is set to SYSADMIN User in Oracle EBS 11i/R12. 
This means only SYSADMIN user can have access to view Oracle workflow notifications of all the EBS users.
We can modify this to any other EBS user who has administrator rights or assign to a reponsibility.
For Example, If we change Oracle Workflow System administrator to Responsinility name “Workflow Administrator Web Applications”, All users 
who are assigned with this responsibility can have access to view workflow details owned by other Oracle applications users.


Let us identify the scenarios which require Workflow System administrator privilege.
– Workflow notification is errored and not processed to next approver
– There is an urgent requirement to delegate the workflow notification to another approver.
– Check the status of workflow notification
– Retry / Rewind the workflow notification
– Check the pending notifications for any Oracle EBS user

  1. Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working
    with? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different
    then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
