Help: how to send emails from FORMS?

Are there simple steps to send emails from FORMS?
Thank you in advance.
Jimmy

I'm sure there are many ways to send emails from Forms. Personally I never had to do this, but I can imagine following ways.
a) use UTL_SMTP-Package to send the email via your database
b) use a Java-Call

If anyone has done this please let me know.

How to send emails from of pdf's generated by oracle reports

I have several pdf documents , I want to email those pdf's . Please let me know how to send emails from oracle reports .
Thanks,
Previn

I have integrated Oracle Reports with Oracle Portal and used the scheduling feature via portlets. We have reports that run every monday morning for management. For more info go to:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html
OR
I think if you set destype=mail, desformat=PDF, and desname=[email protected] that should also do the trick.
Just be sure that you have put your mail server's IP address in the rep_<machine_name>.conf file located in your <oracle_home>/reports/conf directory. If this is not set up, the mail feature won't work.

Sending email from forms using 'from'

I'm trying to send an email from forms. It goes well, but I like to use the 'from' field from Outlook. How can I use it in OLE? I have searched everywhere, but can't find it.
It seems to me it is something like the way you do with BCC and CC options, but I haven't found a way to do the same thing with the From field. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Pauline Kooy

Fabrizio,
Are you just sending the Line Feed character 'CHR(10)"? I typically send the Carrage Return character 'CHR(13)' as well. I'll create a variable called CRLF and assign the Carrage Return and Line Feed characters to this variable. Then reference the CRLF variable when I want to embed a new line.
For example:
DECLARE
   crlf         VARCHAR2(2) := chr(13)||chr(10);
   v_msg_body   VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
   v_msg_body := 'lots of text here'||crlf;
END;Hope this helps.

Send email from forms

Can anybody send me a code how to send an email from forms
with attachement for multiple users
I am using oracle 8i and forms 6i
My mail application is Novel group wise
Thanks for your help

Oracle Reports can be run directly to email.
Check out the DESTYPE parameter.
To send emails you can use a call to Java Mail using the Java importer. There is a sample form for this in the Oracle9i Forms demos. This should work in 6i also.
You might also be able to use email from the database with the UTL_SMTP package:

How to send email from OSB with Mail server that requires SSL or STARTTLS

Hi everyone.
My leader ask me configuration on OSB to support send email to my company mail server (using https chanel) and customer email (some of them is gmail that require STARTTLS or SSL).
I've configured OSB as tutorial in that link: http://blogs.oracle.com/christomkins/entry/sending_an_email_from_oracle_s
But OSB cannot send email from mail account that configured because it cannot login to mail server. I think the reason is secure authentication with SSL or TLS.
There some problems that similar to mine in this forum but has nobody solved it yet.
Can you tell me the solution you know? Any suggestion is appreciated.
Regards
Cuong Pham

I know I'll offer you just a workaround and not a real solution, but you can try to start your own (intermediate) SMTP server to communicate with OSB (without SSL). Then you can just relay all the messages to your "real" SMTP server which requires SSL. If you start your intermediate SMTP server on the OSB host (localhost), then this layout could be acceptable even from security point of view.

Apex 4: How to send email when form is submitted?

Hi,
Using Apex 4.0.2 on DB 11g, I've a form with around 80 fields and 4 check boxes.
When the user clicks on submit button, besides saving the values in the database I also have to send emails. Selection of the 4 check boxes decides whom the email has to go to, i.e if 2 check boxes are checked, send 2 emails.
In the emails, some contents will be based on the data the user has filled and some from the database; also data in different emails will be different.
From what I've read, to send email I've to use APEX_MAIL API and make a conditional process depending on the check boxes selected. Also that I have configure mail server in database and that mail sever has to accept autonomous user (i.e. sending email without password)
Is this the right approach?
How can I do this?
Is there any example/tutorial that will guide me in doing this?
Thank you for your time.

The Apex email package is very simple.
v_id := apex_mail.send(
          p_to        => v_to,
          p_from      => v_from,
          p_subj      => v_subject,
          p_body      => v_body,
          p_body_html => v_html);It's up to you how you get the values of the variables.
Also that I have configure mail server in database and that mail sever has to accept autonomous userThe mail server is not in the database, but you do have to inform Apex which server to use (smtp.yourcompany.com).
Most smtp servers require user and password. In that case you have to write your own procedure. Search the pl/sql forum for email authentication and you will find many examples.
It is probably also possible to configure the smtp server in such a way that requests coming from the database do not need authentication. That is how we have it configured (but I don't know how the administrator did it, though).

Please Help! Trouble sending email from Apple Mail to PC-users

When sending email in RTF format from Mail to PCs, we have som trouble which I havent found out how to solve:
1) the PC user gets a scrambler email, in which some of the text is like "chinese". Illegible! This seems to happen especialle with PDFs attached.
2) Graphics or pictures we wish to appear directly in the mail is not visible to the receiver, but is only included as attachments.
I know most mail encoding problems can be avoided if we send mail i the "old" simple text format. But we wish to send mails in which our company logo appears in the signature, and sometimes we send graphics and pictures that we wish to be seen directly in the mail (and not as attached files only).
I have set the preferences so that mails as standard are send in RTF format and attachments are send in the "windows friendly" mode.
What really irritates me is that we have more success sending PC friendly mails from Entourage. But for two other reasons we wish to use Mail instead of Enrourage (Entourage has more crash downs/"broken" database issues. And we use Plaxo which does not sync with Entourage)..
Could some of you Please help or direct me to helpfull info?
Sincerely ...Peter and Thomas

Hello Peter.
Your OS detail provided indicates you are running 10.3.9 but you posted in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger discussions.
1) When you say PC user, more than likely the PC users reporting this problem are using Outlook for their email client since Outlook has always had problems with Mail's RTF and sometimes severe problems depending on the version used by the recipient. Using Plain Text for message composition will resolve this but check this link for an alternative.
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/woutlook.html
2) All Mail.app versions prior to Tiger Mail (2.x) do not support composing in HTML. RTF with Tiger Mail is HTML but Tiger Mail does not include an HTML composer/editor.
The Mail.app displays all photo/image and single page PDF attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off. This is not the same as being embedded which cannot be done with any Mail.app version directly regardless. Depending on the recipient's email client and available settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened by the recipient (as when receiving such attachments with the Mail.app) or as attached files only which must be opened separately to be viewed for which the sender has no control over.
The same in reverse. Photo/image attachments to a Windows Outlook message appear as attached files only when the message is sent but when sent to a Mail.app user, such attachments will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened which the Windows Outlook user has no control over.
The company logo included with your Signature is likely appearing as an attached file to the message only but how the logo appears when opened by the recipient depends on the recipient's email client.
The only thing the Windows Friendly Attachment option does is remove the Apple resource fork for attached files which are invisible to fellow Mac users.

OBIEE 11g: How to send email from Analysis (via Action Framework)

Hi,
I have installed OBIEE 11g SampleAppLite in my POC box.
One of the features I want to have is to allow users to send their feedback (email) about a report to the report owner. Can this be done without launching Outlook? I tried to Invoke a Browser Script and found that I can display a form showing Recipient, Subject and Message text fields, but I do not know how to send the email.
Thanks!

Hi Devarasu,
Thanks for your reply. The link you gave is for sending iBots. But if I do this, users will not be able to send their feedback / comment.
