## Transfer

PL/SQL Syntax

`procedure TRANSFER`

    (nid in number,

     new_role in varchar2,

     forward_comment in varchar2 default null);

Java Syntax

`public static boolean transfer`

        (WFContext wCtx,

         BigDecimal nid,

         String newRole

         String comment)

Description

This procedure forwards a notification to a new role and transfers ownership of the notification to the new role. It also implicitly calls the Callback function specified in the Send or SendGroup function with TRANSFER mode. A comment can be supplied to explain why the forward is taking place. The Transfer feature in the Notification System calls this procedure. Note that when you transfer a notification, the transfer is recorded in the USER_COMMENT field of the notification.

> Attention: Existing notification attributes (including due date) are not refreshed or otherwise changed except for ORIGINAL_RECIPIENT, which identifies the owner of the notification.

Arguments (input) | wCtxWorkflow context information. Required for the Java method only. See: Oracle Workflow Context.
nid | The notification id.
new_role or newRole | The role name of the person the note is transferred to.
forward_comment or comment | An optional comment to append to notification.
