#WF_REASSIGN_LOV Attribute

In Oracle Applications, you can use a special message attribute with the internal name #WF_REASSIGN_LOV to specify the users to whom a message can be reassigned. Create a role whose members are all the users that you want to allow as possible new recipients when the notification is reassigned, and assign this role as the value for the #WF_REASSIGN_LOV attribute. Then, when the notification recipient attempts to reassign the notification, only the users that belong to that role will appear in the list of values for the Assignee field.

The #WF_REASSIGN_LOV attribute must be of type role and must have a source of Send. You can either specify a particular role as a constant value for the #WF_REASSIGN_LOV attribute, or specify an item type attribute as the value and include logic in your workflow process that dynamically sets that item type attribute to the role you want at runtime. If no existing role meets your needs, you can include logic in your process to create an ad hoc role at runtime and add the users you want to that role. See: CreateAdHocRole, Oracle Workflow API Referenceand AddUsersToAdHocRole, Oracle Workflow API Reference.

Oracle EBS Extended Support increases 20%, effective Nov 2011

Q: What is the pricing for the Extended Support?

A: Extended Support will be offered on specific defined releases for a period of 3 years following the end of the Premier Support period, so, years 6 – 8 in the life of the product.

For the first year of the Extended Support period, year 6 in the life of the product, the additional fee will be calculated as 10% of the your current annual support fee. For example, if your annual support fee is $100, the fee for Extended Support would be $10 and your total fee for support would be $110 ($100 + $10).

For years two and three, years 7 and 8 in the life of the product, the additional fee will be calculated as 20% of the your current annual support fee. For example, if your annual support fee is $100, the fee for Extended Support would be $20 and your total fee for support would be $120 ($100 + $20). When you move into the Sustaining Support period, your annual support fee would continue to be the base fee of $100.

A line of Oracle SaaS applications?

Interesting article which leads to speculation that Oracle may have SaaS in it's future. They are already marketing CRM on demand (largely due to SalesForce.com.) Article suggests at the end "it would not be inconceivable to see 50 percent of Oracle's business in the cloud by 2014."
