and WF_LOCAL_ROLES.

Oracle Workflow provides a script you can use to setup the views. Use the wfdirouv.sql script in the Oracle Workflow sql subdirectory on your server. This script is automatically run by the Oracle Universal Installer when you install the standalone version of Oracle Workflow. You can customize and rerun this script if necessary. The script creates three views.

The WF_USERS view creates a workflow user for each DBA user and any users stored in WF_LOCAL_USERS. For each DBA user, the originating system is called ORACLE, and the originating system ID is the USERNAME column in DBA_USERS. The default notification preference for each DBA user is MAILHTML.

The WF_ROLES view includes all users in the WF_USERS view, all roles defined in the WF_LOCAL_ROLES table, and all roles in DBA_ROLES, where role_name begins with WF. For each DBA role, the originating system is ORACLE and the originating system ID is the ROLE column in DBA_ROLES. The default notification preference for each DBA role is MAILHTML.

The WF_USER_ROLES view consists of the names and originating system information of both users and roles in WF_USERS and WF_ROLES.

Note: The wfdirouv.sql script sets each native Oracle user's e-mail address to the user's respective username. As a minimal setup step, you should edit the wfdirouv.sql script to either link your native Oracle users to an existing mail directory store through the WF_ROLES view definition, or, if the usernames and e-mail account names match, then simply add the domain for your organization, such as '@oracle.com', to the usernames in the WF_USERS view definition. Typically, the columns that you change are EMAIL_ADDRESS in WF_USERS and EMAIL_ADDRESS in WF_ROLES.
