• Activities--notifications, functions, and processes

Note: Although function activities support versioning, the underlying PL/SQL code does not, unless implemented by your developer. You should avoid adding references to new activity attributes or returning result lookup codes not modelled by existing activities in your PL/SQL code.

• Activity attributes

• Process activity nodes

• Activity attribute values

• Activity transitions

An effective date controls which version of a definition the engine uses when executing a process. When you edit a process, you can save it with an immediate or future effective date. Any new process instance that is initiated always uses the version that is specified to be effective at that point in time. See: Opening and Saving Item Types, Oracle Workflow Developer's Guide.

Note that Oracle Workflow does not maintain versions for other workflow objects. Any modifications that you save to the following objects overwrites the existing definition of the object:

• Item attributes

• Messages

• Lookup types
