On popular request from my readers, I need to take a break from Oracle Identity Management Updates and need to Update on Oracle Workflow Notification Mailer.
Oracle Workflow in itself is a Product which is tough to cover in this blog but I am going to cover few important & frequently used components from Oracle Apps DBA point of view which is Workflow Notification Mailer .
Currently with OWF.H (Oracle Work Flow Minipack H) or 11.5.10 Oracle Applications Uses Java Mailer & before that it used to be C Mailer. Some of you who are on 11.5.8 or lower version might still be using wfmail.cfg under FND_TOP . Configuration is quite simple via OAM (Oracle Application Manager) provided you or your unix team setup inbound & outbound mails set up correctly. Notification Mailer will inturn use Operating System command/mail for inbound(for receiving mail) & outbound(for sending mails). At end of this post you can find few metalink notes which cover all things you require to configure Workflow Notification Mailer.
In 11.5.10 Java Notification Mailer is available out of the box , you simply need to configure via Oracle Application Manager .
Below metalink Notes should be enough to configure Workflow Notification Mailer & troubleshooting Mailer ..

Hi
I have changed my “test address” in 11.5.0.2 apps environment, but is still sends notifications to the old address, am I missing something here?
Thanks
Did you bounce WF Mailer after that ?
Hi Atul,
Yes, I did bounce the notification mailer. Meanwhile Workflow was able to send the “verification code” to this email address, but yet all old notifications goes to the old test address.

To check the OS process:(must check on Admin/Conc. Node)
$ ps -fu applmgr|grep dbc
or
$ ps -fu applmgr|grep FNDCPGSC

Change the email id in HR Person Define screen or Update the PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F table.
we have workflow configuration only for sending out notifications and alerts ( Just the SMTP ). The alerts are being sent to my official id, my requirement is the alerts need to be sent to a mail id with a different domain name as well? Any help on this would be great.
Dear,
First of all I want to thank all of you to this useful site.
My question is about the host name and workflow email notification. I am using E-Business suite 11.5.10.2 and my problem is that the application did not use the exact hostname but an alias and this result to a problem in the email notification setup which I tried to resolve without success.
My question is can I can the setup to reuse the exact hostname that exist in the /etc/nodename?
I checked the question about how to change the host name using cloning or autoconfig but it does not match with my problem.
Thanks for all your efforts.

Hi Atul,
I tried to execute an oracle periodic alert which sends an email to the users in TO and CC field. The issue is workflow mailer is able to send emails to the users in TO field but it is not able to send an email for the users in CC and BCC field.
Instance is 11.5.10.2.
Appreciate your response!!
