Oracle Workflow Cartridge version 11.5.10.2 (Release 11.

5)
Issue: Workflow mailer is not sending Alert notifications
 
Cause: There were stuck notifications in the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue.
Running wfver.sql shows:
WF_DEFERRED messages ready:0, waiting:0, expired:0, undeliverable:0,
processed:590
WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT messages ready:438437, waiting:0, expired:4,
undeliverable:0, processed:316
WF_NOTIFICATION_IN messages ready:0, waiting:0, expired:0, undeliverable:0,
processed:3
WF_ERROR messages ready:6, waiting:0, expired:0, undeliverable:0, processed:0

Solution:
STOP ALL Workflow Agent Listeners and the Mailer PRIOR to performing the following:
1. Backup the Oracle Alert messages that are unprocessed on the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT.
ASSUMPTION: The corrupt messages are not belonging to Oracle Alert.
create table APPLSYS.AQ$WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT_BAK
as
select *
from APPLSYS.AQ$WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT
where CORR_ID like 'APPS:ALR%' and msg_state in ('READY','WAIT');
2. Drop the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue to remove all the other messages:
sqlplus apps/<apps password>
exec dbms_aqadm.stop_queue( queue_name => 'APPLSYS.WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT', wait => FALSE);
exec dbms_aqadm.drop_queue_table( queue_table => 'APPLSYS.WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT', force =>
TRUE);
3. Recreate WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT as it need to exist for $FND_TOP/patch/115/sql/wfntfqup.sql to run
successfully:
a. Run the following to recreate the JMS queues:
sqlplus apps/apps @$FND_TOP/patch/115/sql/wfjmsqc2.sql applsys apps
b. Add the subscribers:
sqlplus apps/apps @$FND_TOP/patch/115/sql/wfmqsubc2.sql APPLSYS APPS
4. Now run to repopulate the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue:
sqlplus apps/apps @$FND_TOP/patch/115/sql/wfntfqup APPS apps APPLSYS
5. Start up the workflow listeners.
6. Test notification mailer
