Mapping Oracle Workflow to a Directory Repository

To map Oracle Workflow to a directory repository, map the three views—WF_USERS, WF_ROLES, and WF_USER_ROLES to the database tables in the directory repository selected. If Oracle Workflow is not stand-alone, but is integrated with Oracle Applications, you can map the roles to users and positions defined in the Oracle Human Resources modules. Oracle Workflow provides a seeded script that you can run to map the three views within Oracle Applications.
