Testing Workflow Definitions Using the Developer Studio

The Developer Studio in Oracle Applications lets you view workflow definitions stored in your database. If you have workflow administrator privileges, you can also run a test workflow process for a workflow definition. Workflow administrator privileges are assigned in the Workflow Configuration page. See: Setting Global User Preferences, Oracle Workflow Administrator's Guide.

Although you can run a test workflow process against any Oracle Workflow database, it is recommended that you create a separate environment for testing purposes. You should set up test users and roles in your test environment before you begin.

Note: If you plan to use e-mail to view notifications, you can send all notifications to a single test e-mail address by setting the Test Address configuration parameter when you configure a notification mailer. For more information, please refer to the Oracle Workflow Manager sections of the Oracle Applications Manager online help for Oracle Workflow embedded in Oracle Applications, or to the Oracle Workflow Manager sections of the Oracle Enterprise Manager online help for standalone Oracle Workflow.

Note: For information about the Launch Processes page in standalone Oracle Workflow, see: Testing Workflow Definitions.

Note: If a workflow definition does not include any runnable processes, its run icon is disabled.

Additionally, if a workflow process begins with a Receive event activity, you cannot use the Developer Studio to test the process. Instead, you should raise a test event from the Event Manager to trigger an event subscription that launches the process. See: To Raise a Test Event.
