This is related to the Access Level/Customization Preservation in Oracle Workflows, and will be explained using a power point presentation.
The idea here is to help you preserve your customizations that are done to Standard Oracle Workflows.
Although doing customizations to standard products are not supported, however Oracle is somewhat relaxed when it
comes to customization made to Workflows.
In fact every implementation project involves some level of customization to the Account Generator workflow.
Please find the power point presentation that explains the Oracle Workflow customization preservation concepts.

Hi, I'm currently working on the Payables Invoice workflow. I have added the custom attachment so workflow can send invoice attachment to approver's email. It's working fine with the custom attachment but the original attachment from the seeded workflow does not show attached file extension (attachment body and attachment detail). I have to right click to choose application to open it since custom attachment added to the workflow. Please advise on how do I change the seeded body attachment to open automatically in IE. Thanks, Ryan

Query - Upload of PO Approval Workflow Customization showing errors?
written by Sac , February 05, 2008
written by Sac , February 05, 2008
Hi,
As per the client requirement, I have customized the PO approval Workflow
For customization i did take care that only those standard workflow processes are customized which are prescribed by Oracle as customizable.
For ex: PO Approval Top Process (Protection Level 1000)
1. All other custom processes are defined and then included in the standard processes.
2. I have done all this activity at an access level of 100 in Workflow Builder.
3. For every custom object in workflow i have checked the Preserve Customization checkbox
4. Though Preserve Customization Checkbox is not checked for PO Approval Top Process.
5. After Verifying the design in Workflow Builder i tried Uploading the Workflow to the instance but it is giving Errors
First I tried to upload in FORCE mode
1. Copying the customized poxwfpoa.wft file to PO_TOP/patch/115/import/US directory
Command execurted
$FND_TOP/bin/WFLOAD apps/simple4u 0 Y FORCE poxwfpoa.wft
After running this it was giving errors like
Display name conflict for ACTIVITY entitiy 'POAPPRV/APPROVE_AND_FORWARD_PO' with APPROVE_AND_FORWARD_THE_PO
:Bestellung genehmigen und weiterleiten
and so on ....like this
Then i tried it in UPGRADE Mode
$FND_TOP/bin/WFLOAD apps/simple4u 0 Y UPGRADE poxwfpoa.wft
after this it was giving errors like
MESSAGE 'POAPPRV/XML_NOT_SET' is protected, no changes were saved.
MESSAGE 'WFSTD/WFSTD_DEFAULT_VOTE' is protected, no changes were saved.
MESSAGE 'POAPPRV/EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP' is protected, no changes were saved.

Display name conflict for ACTIVITY entitiy 'POAPPRV/APPROVE_PO_SUB_PROCESS' with APPROVE_PO
:Bestellung genehmigen
ACTIVITY 'POAPPRV/BLANKET_PO_REAPPROVAL' is protected, no changes were saved.
Though after this i checked, by creating a purchase order, whether the customization have been uploaded or not to my surprise they got uploaded and workflow was working fine
But my problem is that why is this error is coming and in what all scenarios the workflow can fail because of this?
Please advice as i m not getting any clue to it !!
Will request forum members to reply ASAP.
Thanks,

Steps for registering a customized workflow
written by Jithendra , May 14, 2008
written by Jithendra , May 14, 2008
Hi Anil,
PPT was really helpful, very nicely explained there. Thanks a lot.
I am right now doing customization on OM Order Line Workflow. I am just going to insert two or three functions in between standard flows (as per business requirement).
It will be helpful if you can list me the steps to be followed for customizing a standard workflow independently without affecting the standard workflow (.wft) file.
Also please let me know the path where the oexwford.wft file resides in the unix box? I found one in $ONT_TOP but thats not the one which our application uses. There is one other present somewhere and I am not able to find where.
I am not clear on the flow on registering the customized workflow. Any light on this will be highly appreciated!
