Overview

JTF_ASSIGN_CUHK is a PL/SQL package owned by the APPS schema in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. Its name reflects its role within the Joint Task Force (JTF) product family, specifically the Core Foundation Assignment Manager, and the "CUHK" suffix denotes that it exposes a Workflow execution hook API. As stated in the package header comments, its purpose is to provide the Application Programming Interface used by the Assignment Manager to support Workflow execution.

The package is declared with AUTHID CURRENT_USER, meaning its procedures execute under the privileges of the calling user rather than the defining APPS schema. The unit is small and narrowly scoped: it contains a single documented function, holds one package-level constant (G_PKG_NAME, set to the string 'JTF_ASSIGN_CUHK'), and exposes no public tables of its own. The source header indicates the package was created on 04/01/2000 and later amended on 21/10/2005 to add the NOCOPY hint on output parameters to resolve a GSCC (Generic Source Code Check) error. The package header lists no standalone procedures, only the single function described below.

Key Procedures and Functions

• OK_TO_LAUNCH_WORKFLOW — The sole documented routine. Its stated function is to determine whether it is OK to launch the workflow; it returns a BOOLEAN result indicating the decision. Consistent with the Oracle EBS API standard, it is defined with the conventional API signature parameters: p_api_version (required input), p_init_msg_list and p_commit (optional inputs defaulting to FND_API.G_FALSE), and the standard output trio x_return_status, x_msg_count, and x_msg_data. The x_return_status, x_msg_count, and x_msg_data outputs carry the NOCOPY hint. No additional procedures or functions are documented for this package. Callers should note that because the routine is a FUNCTION returning BOOLEAN, its result must be consumed within PL/SQL (for example, in an IF condition or assignment) rather than bound as a standard OUT parameter.

Tables Accessed

The documented ETRM metadata for this package records no table references through APPS synonyms. This is consistent with the package's design: OK_TO_LAUNCH_WORKFLOW appears to serve as a decision-gate utility rather than a data-manipulation API. Any state it evaluates is expected to be supplied by the caller or resolved through the Assignment Manager framework's own runtime context rather than persisted directly by this unit. Because no persistent tables are read or written by the documented code path, the package does not introduce direct DML, and therefore does not participate in transaction control beyond what its p_commit convention implies.

Usage Notes

The package is documented as publicly available for use, meaning it is an intentional integration point rather than a private helper. It is typically invoked in the context of Assignment Manager workflow execution, where a caller—most commonly the Assignment Manager workflow logic or custom code built on top of it—needs to evaluate preconditions before launching a workflow. The standard Oracle API calling convention applies: callers should initialize the message list as required, supply a valid p_api_version, check x_return_status for FND_API.G_RET_STS_SUCCESS or an error state, and drain x_msg_count and x_msg_data on failure. Custom code and concurrent or form-based invocations should wrap the call in the usual API error-handling pattern.

The ETRM metadata notes that this package is referenced by exactly one other package, indicating a tightly coupled, single-consumer relationship within the Assignment Manager subsystem. Versioning information in the header records the current and initial specification version as 1.0. Consumers upgrading between 12.1.1 and 12.2.2 should confirm the presence of the NOCOPY output parameters, since that signature change reflects the applied patch level of the file (jtfamwfs.pls version 120.2).
