3205: 'hr@mycompany.com' is not a valid role or user name

This is a uncommon error in HR workflow when the workflow is not customized properly 

 

 

HRSSA workflow by defauls holds the value for HR Department E-mail ID (Internal name HR_DEPT_EMAIL)  as "hr@mycompany.com "

   

 

And if you see at Access levels of that, it shows Customization - 20

Access 90 (this might be different because what ever the access level your set on your workflow builder at help -> About Oralce workflow builder <version no>

Protection 1000

 

And Option check boxes for Preserve customizations and Lock at this Access level are unchecked.

 

This means the email id can be changed. This can be done with below steps.

 

1. Open the workflow, on select help -> About Oralce workflow builder <version no>

2. Provide access level as 100 because Oracle patches will not be above access level 100

3. Change the email id from hr@mycompany.com  as something like  xyz@yourclient.com

4. At access tab select Preserve customizations check box

 

And save the workflow.
