How can i achieve this?

Hello Lakshmi -
Assuming that you are using BPM10g.
1. Please go thru the Expense report example tutorial on Oracle.com
Ref : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/tutorial/index.html
Then create a simple process as your requirement.
Sample process for this example :+CreateData+ is my Global Creation (Accept data from user - here using screen flow)
               And Save is Interactive Activity.(Email and DB insertion)
2. The extra things you needs are following..
a) Create BPM Object for input Data (Here DataEntry is the Module name, Data is BPM Object)
b) Catalog your DB into BPM by using Catalog an SQL Component under DataEntry Module.
     Here using scott.emp table from Oracle sample schema
c) Persisting input data code
d) Sending email code
CIL for c and d in Save activity.
// Persisting data.
INSERT INTO DataEntry.SCOTT.EMP(ename, job, empno)
VALUES (this.data.name, this.data.job, this.data.empId);
logMessage "!!!!!!!"+activity.name+"data insertion completed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
// Email
mailer as Fuego.Net.Mail
sender as Fuego.Net.MailSender
mailer.from = Participant.email
mailer.recipient = "[email protected]"
mailer.subject = "Test email from BPM10g"
mailer.message = "Input message here.... RequestId : "+this.data.req_id
sender = Fuego.Net.MailSender(mail : mailer)
send sender
logMessage "!!!!!!!"+activity.name+"email sent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Also you need to configure Email server info
Right Click on your Project -> Engine Preference --> General --> Networking section --> Fill up the details.
