Prevent the failure of worker running apfiawie.wft during 11.5.10.2 maintenance pack

While applying 11.5.10.2 maintenance pack, you can prevent the worker running apfiawie.wft from failing if you modify the driver file as per metalink note 423145.1:

This error can occur on ANY workflow patch that upgrades the apfiewie.wft file if the customer has lowered the access level of the existing workflow file because they have made slight customizations to the workflow and they do no want these changes to be overwritten.

However, in order to upgrade the workflow and get the patch to apply sucessfully it is necessary to first edit the Udriver, in this case U5948386.drv, and change the WFLOAD command from UPGRADE mode to FORCE mode

1) Locate the following command in the driver file:

exec fnd bin WFLOAD bin &phase=daa+52 checkfile:ap:patch/115/import/US:apfiawie.wft &ui_apps 0 Y UPGRADE @SQLAP:patch/115/import/US/apfiawie.wft013
and change this to:

exec fnd bin WFLOAD bin &phase=daa+52 checkfile:ap:patch/115/import/US:apfiawie.wft &ui_apps 0 Y FORCE @SQLAP:patch/115/import/US/apfiawie.wft013

2) Save the changes
