Respond

Syntax

procedure RESPOND

(nid in number,
 respond_comment in varchar2 default null,
 responder in varchar2 default null);

Description

This procedure may be invoked by the notification agent (Notification Viewer, Notification Web page, or E-mail agent) when the performer completes the response to the notification. The procedure marks the notification as 'CLOSED' and communicates RESPOND attributes back to the database via the callback function (if supplied). If one of the RESPOND attributes is named 'RESULT', that RESPOND attribute's value is instead used as the result of the associated notification activity.

This procedure also accepts the name of the individual that actually responded to the notification. This may be useful to know especially if the notification is assigned to a multi-user role. The information is stored in the RESPONDER column of the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table. The value stored in this column depends on how the user responds to the notification.
