When you have done some changes in workflow notifications and notifications are refreshed every 24 hours so that they perform better for your users. But when you are making changes to reports, subtemplates, or data models, you can apply your changes sooner so they are available for your testing. So create profile options to control when notifications reflect your changes after you upload them to the BI catalog.
Create Profile Options to Control the Refresh
Your profile options can apply to all workflow tasks, a product family, or a product. Based on the scope you want your profile option must have a profile option code that follows a certain format.
Now you're ready to create your profile options!
1. In the Setup and Maintenance, go to the Manage Applications Core Profile Options task.
2. On the Manage Applications Core Profile Options page, click the New icon.
3. On the Create Profile Options page, enter the profile option code in the format that corresponds to the scope you want.
4. Enter a display name that you can easily remember to help you find the profile option later.
5. From the Application list, select Oracle Middleware Extensions for Applications.
6. From the Module list, select Application Core.
7. Specify a start date.
8. Click Save and Close.
9. On the Manage Applications Core Profile Options page, make sure your new profile option is selected in the Search Results.
10. In the <Profile Option>: Profile Option Levels subsection, select the Enabled and Updatable checkboxes for the Site level.
11. Save your work.
Set the Refresh Interval
In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Applications Core Administrator Profile Values task. Set your profile option at the Site level and enter 15 or higher for the refresh interval in minutes. For example, if you enter 15, then your changes are applied to notifications 15 minutes after you upload to the BI catalog.
Note
When you're done making and testing your changes, set the profile option back to 1440, which is 24 hours in minutes. If you forget and leave your profile option as-is for longer than eight hours, don't worry! At that point, the profile option resets itself back to 1440 minutes.
