Create view of Approved workflow Items / doc /

When I tried to create Create view of Approved documents on a MOSS 2007 Doc library with Filter
"MyWorkflow" - "is equal to" - "Approved".
It doesn't work. Change it to
"MyWorkflow" - "is equal to" - "16".
Works perfectly.

Following high level steps:
I) Setup SSO.
II) Setup Oracle client.
III) Create and Install the Application Definition file.
I) Setup SSO - Main activities
1)Create the SSO service account -- This is the account that the service will run under. - For my prototype used the Sharepoint site collection secondary admin account.
2)Create the SSO groups -- These groups are used to control who has the ability to administer SSO (export the master key) and who has the ability to manage it (add/remove application definitions.) - For my prototype decided to used the "NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" group so skipped this step.
3)Configure the SSO Service - Set SSO to start Automatic in Windows Services and get it to use the service account.
4)Configure SQL Server for SSO Database - Authorize the SSO service account to SQL server.
5)Manage SSO1 - Setup SSO in MOSS Administrative Tools-SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration - Operations - Security Configuration - Service Accounts
6)Manage SSO2 - Setup SSO details in MOSS including the groups and the database (SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration - Operations - Security Configuration - Manage settings for single sign-on link- Manage server settings). 7)Manage the encryption key -- Create the encryption key that will be used for protecting the username and password information on the system.
8)Create the enterprise application definitions used in SSO -- Define what initial applications SSO will be setup to manage passwords for.
(SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration - Operations - Security Configuration - Manage settings for enterprise application definitions).
NOTE: Please give the application name same as the one in your Application-Definition XML file.
Since we are planning to connect to Oracle keep the Field 1 and Field 2 to defaults of Username and Password respectively.
9)Manage the account information for an application definition file. As said above since I decided to go with "NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" group, I entered the same.
Don’t change the default of “Update account information” and click on “Set”. Now you will be prompted to enter the Oracle database user-id and password. Please enter the same.
NOTE: When the connection happens to Oracle this Username and password will be used and whatever exists in the Application-Definition XML file will be ignored.
More later............
