The chronological trace view of a business flow instance displays the steps and the flow of documents between the submitter and the receiver. Now, it additionally displays the associated smart contracts that were executed, the correlated event actions that were generated, any exceptions or warnings, and any document time-out events that were raised. The documents pending for the flow instance are displayed at the bottom of the timeline.
Additional Receivers of Notification
In-app notifications, when configured are received by the trading partners who have created the associated smart contract. Now, when you configure a notification, you can optionally add other trading partners who are interested in receiving and viewing the notification.

Availability of Track and Trace Oracle Integration Cloud Adapter
The Track and Trace Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) adapter can be utilized by third party applications or Oracle Cloud applications that use Oracle Integration Cloud to connect with Oracle Intelligent Track and Trace. This adapter exposes relevant Oracle Intelligent Track and Trace REST endpoints to Oracle Integration Cloud.
New Definition of Smart Contracts
Smart contracts are a set of business rules and policies agreed upon by the trading partners. Now, smart contracts are no longer associated with a single step of a business flow. They are independent of business flows and can have inputs from multiple document types from multiple business flow steps. Smart contracts can generate events that can result in actions, such as in-app notifications, emails, and web-hook callbacks. The founder or an endorsing trading partner can create a smart contract only if they are a viewer or a submitter in the associated business flow steps.
Introduction of Contract Proposers
Contract proposers enable invocation of smart contracts. A contract proposer assembles all the required inputs from the contract's correlated documents and then allows the invocation of the smart contract. You can monitor the state of the smart contract proposers, view details of the events generated, and the actions processed for each smart contract invocation.
A smart contract, when invoked raises events. To handle such events, you can now configure event handlers that can process actions including sending emails, web-hook callbacks, and generating application level notifications, such as warnings or exceptions.
Event handlers can process various actions including application level notifications, emails, and web-hook callbacks. To enable such actions, you can now configure outbound connections, such as a list of email addresses and an HTTP API call out.
Updates in Business Flow Configurations
There has been a few updates in the configuration of business flows:
- After creating a business flow, it can be in editing, disabled (completed editing), or enabled for document submission states.
- Now, you no longer need to add an endorser to the steps of a business flow.
- You can no longer add smart contract rules because smart contracts can be applied on documents or steps across multiple business flows.
- Now, a business flow step lets you add a value in minutes, hours, or days for a document timeout event, which gets generated when the specified time is over after the business step receives the \specified document.
- Before you can create a smart contract, you must explicitly finish editing of all the the associated business flows.
- Before a smart contract is invoked, document submission should be enabled for all the associated business flows.
