Can I send a report from apex to a non-apex user?

I am new to apex, and using ver 2.0. The users would like to click "email this report", put in any email address (someone internal to the organization or external), and have an html file sent to the recipient, that is the report they were just reviewing in apex. The recipient is NOT an apex user.
In addition to this, they'd like to indicate that they want an associated report (one that they are currently not viewing) to be emailed as well (lower priority as I can tell them to go to the other report and click the same "email this report" link over there)
The more details the better, as i'm new to this environment.
Thanks in advance! :-)

This is do-able, but it is not just a few clicks and it's done. If you're new to Apex you probably want to start with getting email working first. This isn't that big a deal, but you want to make sure your email delivery from Apex is reliable before you start moving on to emailing attachments.
The first hurdle is that the apex_mail package doesn't support file attachments, which sounds like a fundamental requirement for your situation. This means that you need to either use utl_smtp (which I would not recommend - it's a bit complex) or utl_mail, which isn't installed by default in the typical Oracle installation. You'd have to ask your DBA to install it and set the SMTP host parameters that is requires.
Once (if) you get utl_mail up and running you'd want to look into the SEND_ATTACH_VARHAR2 or SEND_ATTACH_RAW procedures to do the actual email send procedure.
You'll also need to create the report via a custom PL/SQL procedure that would output the report as a either plain text or HTML so the user can read the output when they get the email attachment.
I know it sounds complicated, but if you just take it one step at a time you can get there, and you'll be quite happy with the results when you do.
Hope this helps.

  • Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

    I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

    I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

  • Can't send photo text from iphone 4s to non iPhone

    I have a 4s iPhone but can't send photo text message to husband who doesn't have iPhone.  Can send to people with iphone though.  Need some help...

    I've been having problems with texting pictures since I updated to iOS 7 too but have yet to find a solution that actually works.  I have also tried to reset my phone numerours times, have MMS turned on, etc.  It doesn't matter if I'm trying to send the picture to another Apple user or not. 
    It usually takes about 3 or 4 tries to get the picture to go through, but in many cases I have to turn my phone off then back on for it to work.
    PS - I am in Canada & my service provider is Bell. However I don't believe it is a Bell issue as I didn't have any problems until AFTER the update.  Had hoped the latest update this week would've fixed it but if anything it seems worse.

  • Can we send .csv file from sap srm system to sap pi?

    Hi Experts,
    we have 3 options send the data from sap systems to sap pi.i. e.proxy,idoc and rfc only
    How can we send .csv file from sap srm to sap pi?
    Regards,
    Anjan

    Anjan
    As you know SAP SRM and SAP PI are different boxes.
    *_Option 1:_*
    we need a shared AL11 directory in between SAP SRM and SAP PI (Ask basis to setup shared folder). Place / Populate the file in the folder from SAP SRM and then it can be picked through sender file communication channel.
    In this case you (Basis team) will share one folder which is visible from the AL11 transaction of both the systems (SRM and PI). You will drop .csv file using some report or program from SRM at this location and from PI you can read that file using File communication channel (NFS mode).
    Option 2:
    Setup a FTP at SRM environment and expose some folder which can be accessible from PI. Use sender file communication channel at PI end to pick the file.
    You can use this option incase sharing of folder is not possible (due to network / other constrains). Here FTP server is required to expose any folder as FTP so as it can be accessible from internet (remote location). You need to expose some folder at SRM machine.  You will drop .csv file using some report or program from SRM at this location. Now PI can fetch the file from that location using  sender file communication channel (FTP Mode) providing user credentials.
    Hope it clears now.
    Regards

  • Regarding tutorial of how to call Oracle Reports from APEX

    Hi,
    I'm trying to call Oracle Reports from APEX using this tutorial.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html
    But in the step of 'Create the Oracle HTML DB Application', 'OE' doesn't appear in the LOV of Existing Schema, even though the sample schema exists in the schema and they are unlocked. And when I type 'OE' directly without using LOV, and press Next, the message 'Schema is reserved or restricted' appears.
    How can I create the workspace based on OE schema?

    Hello Shohei,
    I know your following the tutorial, but if you want to call oracle reports from apex it is quite easy though if your working with oracle reports 9i or higher. Just create an html region and put in the source the html code for referencing an url like to_report
    Or reference the same url from a button placed on the HTML region
    (you can create a package that would create the whole URL and returns it as a string, easier for scalability)
    Hope this can help you to (tutorial is good but try and learn from scratch is also good ;-) )

  • How to call Oracle Reports from APEX

    Dear All,
    I am new to APEX. My first job assignment is "calling oracle reports from apex".
    Can any one help me on this? Is there any online examples / tutorials from OTN site?
    TIA.

    Hi Joe,
    the how-to is still valid for APEX 3.0. Calling an Oracle Report from APEX is still the same, it's basically the URL you build for the report call and Oracle Reports hasn't changed that format.

  • How can I send a message from database to a J2EE application?

    How can I send a message from database to a J2EE application?
    If I have a codetable in database that has new or modified values I have to refresh the codetable in my J2EE application.
    Most effective way would be send a message to initiate a table reload from J2EE app, but I don't know how to do this.
    Now I have a background thread that regular reads the table and looks for changes.

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/bam/10.1.3/TechNotes/TechNote_BAM_AQ_Configuration.pdf
    This document details how to create triggers on a table that send out JMS messages.
    In this example, the messages are going to Oracle BAM.. your message could go to your J2EE application listening to its own topic/queue.
    an alternative idea.
    you could also just cache your lookup table with something like Oracle Coherence and than try to ensure that all changes to the lookup go through Coherence, so that you won't need to do notification from the db up to the application. the application and the lookup data management tool would be using the data grid for management of the lookup table data, and the data grid (coherence) would persist the lookup data changes back to the db.

  • HT2736 How can I send a playlist from my library to my friend?

    How can I send a playlist from my Library to my friends phone.  She uses itunes on her phone. I thought that itunes used to do that, I remember it being somewhere on the program. Now when I would like to do it I can't find it.

    First get iTunes on your PC. Then plug your iPod in and go to the music, yo. You Cannot sync playlist if you select to sync your entire library. But you can sync playlists of you choose to sync selected songs.
    You can also create a playlist on your iPod just by holding the center button on a song and select add to "on the go". This " on the go" is a playlist and will be transfers to your PC if you plug your iPod in again.

    Help would be appreciated
    Regards
    Narender B

    Hi,
    It is not clear what you are seeing here. Also we don't know how you have integrated Apex with EBS. My guess is you have linked an Apex page to the EBS menu and when you click on the menu link you see the additional text on the Apex page.
    You need to give details of how you have integrated Apex with EBS and where and when this additional text is being displayed for me to give you any help on this issue.
