what is resultout used in oracle workflow,function activity

---

This is standard OUT parameter which you use to inform WF Engine about completion status of activity.

Information from Workflow Guide:

If a result type is specified in the Activities properties page for the activity in the Oracle Workflow Builder, this parameter represents the expected result that is returned when the procedure completes. The possible results are:

COMPLETE:<result_code> -- activity completes with the indicated result code. The result code must match one of the result codes specified in the result type of the function activity.

WAITING -- activity is pending, waiting on another activity to complete before it completes. An example is the Standard ’AND’ activity.

DEFERRED:<date> -- activity is deferred to a background engine for execution until a given date. must be of the format: to_char(<date_string>, wf_engine.date_format)

NOTIFIED:<notification_id>:<assigned_user> -- an external entity is notified that an action must be performed. A notification ID and an assigned user can optionally be returned with this result. Note that the external entity must call CompleteActivity( ) to inform the Workflow Engine when the action completes.

ERROR:<error_code> -- activity encounters an error and returns the indicated error code.
