WHERE STATUS='OPEN'
AND mail_status = 'MAIL'

Sql> SELECT * FROM wf_notifications WHERE STATUS='OPEN' AND mail_status = 'SENT'
ORDER BY begin_date DESC
Check the Workflow notification has been sent or not?
select mail_status, status from wf_notifications where notification_id=
--If mail_status is MAIL, it means the email delivery is pending for workflow mailer to send the notification
--If mail_status is SENT, its means mailer has sent email
--If mail_status is Null & status is OPEN, its means that no need to send email as notification preference of user is "Don't send email"
--Notification preference of user can be set by user by logging in application + click on preference + the notification preference
1. Verify whether the message is processed in WF_DEFERRED queue
select * from applsys.aq$wf_deferred a where a.user_data.getEventKey()= ''
- notification id
2. If the message is processed successfully message will be enqueued to WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue, if it errored out it will be enqueued to WF_ERROR queue
select wf.user_data.event_name Event_Name, wf.user_data.event_key Event_Key,
wf.user_data.error_stack Error_Stack, wf.user_data.error_message Error_Msg
from wf_error wf where wf.user_data.event_key = '
To check what all mails have went and which all failed ?
Select from_user,to_user,notification_id, status, mail_status, begin_date
from WF_NOTIFICATIONS where status = 'OPEN';
Select from_user, to_user, notification_id, status, mail_status,begin_date,USER_KEY,ITEM_KEY,MESSAGE_TYPE,MESSAGE_NAME begin_date
from WF_NOTIFICATIONS where status = 'OPEN';
Users complain that notifications are stuck ?
Use the following query to check to see whatever the users are saying is correct
SQL> select message_type, count(1) from wf_notifications
where status='OPEN' and mail_status='MAIL' group by message_type;
E.g o/p of query -
MESSAGE_Type COUNT(1)
-------- ----------
POAPPRV 11 --- 11 mails of Po Approval not sent ---
INVTROAP 12
REQAPPRV 9
WFERROR 45 --- 45 mails have error
If Mail not received by User ?
select Name,DISPLAY_NAME,EMAIL_ADDRESS,NOTIFICATION_PREFERENCE,STATUS
from wf_users where DISPLAY_NAME=’xxx,yyy’ ;
Status – Active
Notification_preference-> Mailtext
Email Address should not be null
Notification not sent waiting to be mailed ?
SQL> select notification_id, status, mail_status, begin_date from WF_NOTIFICATIONS
where status = ‘OPEN’ and mail_status = ‘MAIL’;
To debug the notification id ?
$FND_TOP/sql
run wfmlrdbg.sql
