An example of Oracle© WfMS upgrade for the purpose of document management

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we will present a possibility for upgrading workflow management system, Oracle© WfMS. For those not equipped with Oracle©, or some other Document Management System, WfMS itself can be upgraded, organized, and used for the purposes of document exchange, storage, retrieval, or editing. For those tasks, PL/SQL gateway should be properly defined, and configured, as we will present, thus extending already powerful system with one more ability.
