Attachments in Email Activity ?

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where i need to get the records from database and send those records as an attachment in the email activity. I got the attachment slightly working...I assigned the Database output to the String Variable and attached that string to the Attachments...
But the records are not in a correct aligned way in the file. Is there any way to align the data in a good aligned format ?
i need to add an attachment may be in an xml or txt or csv...but the data should be atleast in an aligned way...
Please help me...
Thanks,
Naresh

Hi Anuj,
But if i do that, the data is completely empty in the file...If i see in the flow trace, the data is getting assigned to the attachment variable...but in the email attachment, the file is completely empty....
And as the above person said, if i need to write the file and read the same file; that wouldn't work i guess because, my BPEL would be polling the table , after getting the records it needs to send an email with the records it got as an attachment....
I have a question here. So if we want to add attchments, is ora:readFile the only option of attaching the file ?
Please help...i need to copy the records inthe input of my BPEL to the attachments in the email activity in BPEL..
Thanks,
Naresh

Problem with Email Activity in BPEL

I am relatively new to BPEL, and I'm trying to add an Email Activity. My problem is this:
I can get the email to send, but I have to shut down the SOA Suite to make that happen.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

Yes. The messages do seem to be all accumulating until the shutdown until the suite is shut down.
I'm just beginning to play around with the Email activity, so I'm hard-coding all the parameters. We're currently using SOA Suite 10.1.3.1. I'm not using any attachments in the email, however, it seems that I can't turn the multi-part check box off. I un-check it, and apply, but when I go back into that screen, it's checked again.
Here's the code for the email activity:
<scope name="Email_1">
<bpelx:annotation>
<bpelx:pattern patternName="bpelx:email"></bpelx:pattern>
</bpelx:annotation>
<variables>
<variable name="varNotificationReq"
messageType="ns1:EmailNotificationRequest"/>
<variable name="varNotificationResponse"
messageType="ns1:ArrayOfResponse"/>
<variable name="NotificationServiceFaultVariable"

Email Activity not sending emails for one domain - 10.1.3.4 MLR#10

I have four domains in my BPELConsole. My evey BPEL process has CatchAll block and I'm sending email notification with fault details.
Somehow, my BPEL processes from three domains are sending emails properly but myDomain4 is not sending emails even after successful execution of Email Activity.
1) I have compared the Email code with processes in other domain and they are similar.
2) orabpel.bpelnotification is not logging any error for this notification.
3) I never received any email from this domain. There was no error in logs during domain creation.
3) I am getting following in logs that sending email was successfully executed. It received Notification ID too
<2010-09-22 07:24:44,530> <DEBUG> <myDomain4.collaxa.cube.services> <oracle.bpel.services.notification.queue.QueueConnectionPool::QueueConnectionPool> Fetched a queue connection from pool java:comp/env/jms/Queue/NotificationSenderQueueConnectionFactory, available connections=4

Please help/hint for any possible solution/debugging.

sometimes i have seen emails not being sent when the async invokes takes more time than the overall completion.. And yes, we might still see successful log as emails sent. FYI - I am with 10.1.3.3.1 MLR #8.
did you try just creating a email only process? switch off all other processes in that domain and initiate only this email process to see what happens..

Email Activity Not sending email when BPEL process fails

In 11g SOASuite I have a BPEL process which does the following,
1) Receive response from client
2) Email activity - Notify with an id received in the request as content
3) Insert data into a table using db adapter
Whenever db adapter has some key violations or issues, I notice that no emails are getting dispatched. When I look at EM console it displays that txn has been rolled back after 3rd step. I understand that but it makes me ask this question,
How can I make the process to send an email at step2 irrespective of an error that happens down stream at step-3? How to make email activity not part of this Txn scope?
It works as expected(emails are dispatched) when there are no issues at step-3.

Hi,
In order to not rollback your transactions, you need to hit a dehydration point, meaning, save your process into the db store and perform a commit until that point.
It sounds like a simple process, so you can drag a checkpoint activity after the email activity.
That is one option. Try, and see if it works for you.

Email activity not working on Clients site

Hi,
I created a Bpel process that contains an email activity, It works fine when I am connected to the Oracle network through VPN and while i am in the Oracle office.
But when I am at the clients site or connected through VPN, it doesnt work at all.
when I configure my ns_emails.xml to Oracle's info, it works fine but when its configured to clients info, it doesnt work.
I have configured ns_emails.xml and wf_config.xml
This is my ns_emails.xml when I am at the clients site._
note:_ Since I am not using the Default domain for deployment, I changed the <Name> under <EmailAccount> to cdmsd since I am deploying my Bpel processes to the cdmsd domain.
^<EmailAccounts xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/pcbpel/NotificationService"^
^ EmailMimeCharset=""^
^ NotificationMode="EMAIL">^

^ </EmailAccount>^
^</EmailAccounts>^
and for wf_config.xml I only add one line_
^<property name="oracle.bpel.services.notification.publisher_interval" value="1" />^
I dont understand why its not working while I am on the clients site ?? any ideas ??
could it be a network issue on their side ??

I pinged my email server and I got the following:
{size:12pt}
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),{size}

Variable passing to an email activity

Hi,
In my simple process flow I have:
START--------TRANSFORMATION (procedure call)--------EMAIL ACTIVITY--------END
My procedure has an output parameter (which consists of an email address).
In the transformation, the output parameter is passed into a variable VAR1.
In my EMAIL activity, the TO_ADDRESS parameter is assigned VAR1.
My problem is, when I validate the processflow it comes up with the error:
"VLD-10034: Parameter TO_ADDRESS is bound to variable VAR1, but VAR1 has no default value set. For a processflow to be valid the bound parameter or variable should have a default value."
So I assigned the variable VAR1 a default value (I entered a valid email address), the processflow validates successfully, but when I run it, it fails with an error.
It's the variable that's causing a problem as when I hard-code an email address in the TO_ADDRESS parameter it runs without a problem.
Do you have any ideas why the variable is failing when a default value is set?
Thanks for any replies
Ansel

Hi Armands
I managed to sort this one out.
I stripped out the transformation from the processflow to simplify it as much as possible.
So I had:
START-------- EMAIL ACTIVITY--------END
The problem was where it was forcing me to enter a default value for the variable VAR1 (where VAR1 was assigned to the TO_ADDRESS parameter in the email activity).
I entered an email address as the default value in VAR1, and it failed. So I changed the value to 'aaa', and it failed.
But it DIDN'T fail when I entered '1' (even though the variable is of a string type).
So it's working now.
Thank you for taking the time to try to understand my problem.
Ansel

Error while using Email Activity

Env:
Win XP SP2
SOA Dev Preview 10.1.3.1
Jdev
Prob: Am trying to send an email notification to my email id. I create a new BPEL Synchronous process and drag and drop the email activity into the process. I set the details into "to", "subject" and "body" parameters.
And then I try to deploy the process.
It throws an error "URI is not hierarchical"
Can some one let me know the reasons for it.
Thanx
AJ

Thanx Clemens,
The xml that you had mentioned is same as the one I am working with. When I double click on the error in the error panel displayed in JDev, the cursor moves to the first line in the bpel file which says "<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8" ?>".
I am still unclear as to what is the issue with the code that I am using. Following is my bpel file. Also, please let me know if there are any libraries or jar files to be included for using email activity in the bpel process.
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8" ?>

How do I send attachments in email as an icon

How do I send attachments in email as an icon

I mean when I have dropped a photo into the email how do I then change that to an icon so that other non Mac users can see it easier

How do I open attachments in emails I have received?

How do I open attachments in emails I receive to view them before I send them on to friends?

Often, pictures or simple documents (eg, one-page PDFs) will appear directly within the message itself. You can also use the Quick Look button next to the attachments line (in the message header) to view and scroll through the files (provided they're viewable, and aren't compressed or binary files).
You can also click Save next to Quick Look to save the files to your Downloads folder.

How to create Incoming Email Activity using BAPI or Function module

To create an Incoming Email Activity using BAPI 'BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CREATEMULTI' or using 'CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN' . what parameters i need to pass to a bapi.
Suggest me with a solution.
Regards,
Sanjani

For activity you must fill the following structures of 'CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN'...
CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN'
    EXPORTING
      it_activity_h             = t_activity_h
      iv_collect_exceptions = ''
    CHANGING
      ct_orderadm_h         = t_orderadm_h
      ct_input_fields       = t_input_fields
    EXCEPTIONS
      error_occurred        = 1
      document_locked       = 2
      no_change_allowed     = 3
      no_authority          = 4
      OTHERS                = 5.

Email Address not picked in email activity

Hello,
We are trying to create a outbound email w.r.t Lead (BP has Email address) , now in the outbound email TO field is not populated with Email address of the BP , we have maintained copy control between lead and Outbound email activity too.
All the other info is getting copied into Outbound email activity.
Any inputs please?
Merci
Sweta

Hi Swetha,
Pls check this step once, am not sure this is exactly the solution, but have a try.
Customer Relationship Management --> Basic Functions --> One-to-One E-Mail -->Assign Transaction Types --
Or try as below once:
1. find the Component name of the field
2. go to BSP_wd_cmpwb, component structure browser -- views---pick your component view -
-- Request processing --- DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT -- double click on ' fill_to_field( )'
3. it will direct you to teh code, put the break point ''CRM_EMAIL_READ_PARTNER_ADDRESS'' and debug
Regards

How to edit the value in the email activity in process flow

I have an email activity in my process flow.
I want to change the value for the message body of the email activity. But it is not editable. While creation all the columns are in editable mode and after deploying and testing, i want to change the body of the email to be sent.
How can i do it now? Please advice. This issue is in 6.0.4 release.
Edited by: 910070 on Feb 17, 2012 12:48 AM

got the solution after so much research !
in 6.0.4, only way we can change the value for the message body or subject is to change the associate email procedure. which is something like edx_rpt_email.

PDFmaker not converting Jpg attachments to emails in Microsoft Outlook 2013

I am having problems converting jpg attachments to emails in Microsoft Outlook 2013 using PDFmaker. I'm running Adobe Acrobat 11 and just updated it to the latest version and that did not solve the problem.
I can convert the emails and Word attachments and can convert the jpgs manually by saving them to my desk top and then adding them as attachments to the resulting PDF but I have several emails each was several attachments that I want to save and it will take me hours to do it manually.
I was thinking there might be some security setting on the jpgs that is preventing PDFmaker from automatically converting them.
I already confirmed that the Preference Conversion Setting is selected to include all attachments in the Adobe PDF. I also unselected the box that reads "block download of external content" but it did not help.

Manual method is a difficult task .You can easily transfer your mails from the Thunderbird to MS Outlook using third party conversion software.i faced the same problem.i tried the following utility. It converts all my Thunderbird accounts to a single PST.you can also try the free demo version of the software.
