My workplace is about to upgrade to Cloud version 25R1 and I have a question about the Workflow Designer feature. When using WorkFlow Designer is it possible to call custom PL/SQL functions/procedures/packages (that I have created myself)  from the canvas area (see screen cap below).

The back-end database will be hosted on our own premises so if I add objects to that db can I access them in a Workflow? Also will I be able to pass in values from the Workflow to functions/procedures and return values etc.? 

I don’t have access to the new environment yet so I can’t try it myself.

Thank you.

hi ​@jdoherty,

From BPA Workflow itself we cannot directly call in plsql functions. But we can wrap the plsql function in a custom Projection Configuration action and call that using an API task in workflow. In that way we can pass in inputs to the action as well as access returned values from it inside the Workflow

    Thanks for the reply, this may do what I require. We need to be able to access our own custom procedures and functions when we upgrade to cloud. I will bookmark that link, thanks again.
