============================================================================

We all know the steps on How to check the status/stop/start Workflow Notification
Mailer from OAM( Oracle Application Manager)

1.Login to OAM(Oracle Application Manager)

then Workflow Manager->Workflow

Then click on the service components

It would show the status of all the workflow components. Here you can see the
status of the Workflow Notification mailer

Here I would be telling you about How to check the status/stop/start Workflow
Notification Mailer from Backend

First How to check the status of Notification Mailer

a) Login to Environment as apps user

sqlplus apps/<apps pass>

b) Check workflow mailer service current status

select running_processes
from fnd_concurrent_queues
where concurrent_queue_name = 'WFMLRSVC';

Number of running processes should be greater than 0

c) Find current mailer status

select component_status
from fnd_svc_components
where component_id =
(select component_id
from fnd_svc_components
where component_name = 'Workflow Notification Mailer');

Possible values:
RUNNING
STARTING

STOPPED_ERROR
DEACTIVATED_USER

Now how to stop Notification Mailer from Backend

a) Login to Environment via sqlplus

sqlplus apps/<apps pass>

b) Stop notification mailer

declare
p_retcode number;
p_errbuf varchar2(100);
m_mailerid fnd_svc_components.component_id%TYPE;

begin
select component_id
into m_mailerid
from fnd_svc_components
where component_name = 'Workflow Notification Mailer';
fnd_svc_component.stop_component(m_mailerid, p_retcode, p_errbuf);
commit;
end;
/

Now how to start Notification Mailer from Backend

a)Login to Environment via sqlplus

sqlplus apps/<apps pass>

b) Start the Notification Mailer

declare
p_retcode number;
p_errbuf varchar2(100);
m_mailerid fnd_svc_components.component_id%TYPE;
begin
select component_id
into m_mailerid
from fnd_svc_components
where component_name = 'Workflow Notification Mailer';
fnd_svc_component.start_component(m_mailerid, p_retcode, p_errbuf);
commit;
end;
/

How to check the status of all the workflow services

$FND_TOP/sql/wfver.sql output also shows the status of the workflow services:

Service Instance Status

______________________________________________________________________________
Workflow Agent Listener Service is enabled -> Actual: 1, Target: 1
Workflow Mailer Service is enabled -> Actual: 1, Target: 1
Workflow Document Web Services Service is enabled -> Actual: 1

The following query also returns the status of the workflow services:

select fcq.USER_CONCURRENT_QUEUE_NAME Container_Name,

DECODE(fcp.OS_PROCESS_ID,NULL,'Not
Running',fcp.OS_PROCESS_ID) PROCID,
fcq.MAX_PROCESSES TARGET,
fcq.RUNNING_PROCESSES ACTUAL,
fcq.ENABLED_FLAG ENABLED,
fsc.COMPONENT_NAME,
fsc.STARTUP_MODE,
fsc.COMPONENT_STATUS
from APPS.FND_CONCURRENT_QUEUES_VL fcq, APPS.FND_CP_SERVICES fcs,
APPS.FND_CONCURRENT_PROCESSES
fcp, fnd_svc_components fsc
where fcq.MANAGER_TYPE = fcs.SERVICE_ID
and fcs.SERVICE_HANDLE = 'FNDCPGSC'

and fsc.concurrent_queue_id = fcq.concurrent_queue_id(+)

and fcq.concurrent_queue_id = fcp.concurrent_queue_id(+)
and fcq.application_id = fcp.queue_application_id(+)
and fcp.process_status_code(+) = 'A'
order by fcp.OS_PROCESS_ID, fsc.STARTUP_MODE

The TARGET and ACTUAL columns should be 1. If one of these columns is 1 and the
other one zero then the workflow service is not running.
