Delivery Confirmation when distributing Reports via email

I have setup a report that distributes based on the mail ID in the group header. Is there a way to report if each mail ID was sent successfully? I am using reports server 9.0.4.2.
Thanks.

Hi there,
Okay that's pretty nice, global statistic, but do we have any other option to get details for each email to which we've distributed the report?
Any idea of how to combine reports with the mail server, so to communicate right after sending out the mails?
Thanks,
Michael

Zahid,
reports6i sends mails where the Report itself is attached as a file in the format you specified. The support for sending a report as part of the HTML mail body is provided in Reports9i.

Hi Zahid
From Forms 6.0, you need to call Reports using standard SRW.Run_Product call. Please refer to the product document for other SRw calls which can be used for Forms/Reports integration. In this SRW call, you need to sent the runtime argument to Reports. In your case, write a pl/sql code which would set the destype=mail, desformat=html and desname set to the email address for reciever which you would be fetching from DB in Forms application. And then send these arguments in the SRW call to run the Reports.

Bursting Reports via email with seperate email address for each page

I have been reading "Oracle® Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web" (most specifically chapter 15 Creating Advanced Distributions) trying to figure this out but still having difficulty getting my head around it.
I am trying to email invoices when applicable. Here is the "perfect world scenario".
Report is scheduled to run once a day.
Any qualifying invoices are picked up in the run.
If there is an email address associated with the record the invoice is sent via email. (email address would be included on report and variable)
If no email address is associated, the invoice is printed.
There could/would be several different invoices on a single run.
Does this mean I have to write dynamically write a distribution.xml file for each run or can I pass the email address as a variable to the distribution.xml?
(builder version 10.1.2.0.2)

Hi !
You're able to use Report-Variables (e.g. from a Group in the Data Model) in the distribution.xml-File to send email to different adresses.
Just bear in mind that you also need to set the "repeat-on" Property of the relevant layout section and use a "foreach"-Loop in the distribution.xml.
So, no, no "dynamic" building of xml-Files necessary (though we do it at times...).
See also "Publishing Reports to the web" for a complete reference on "burst distribution" and the components of the distribution.xml
I would, however, run the report twice, once for "all email-invoices" with email-distribution file, once for "all invoices w/o email-adress" with (probably) printer-distribution file, as "exception" handling inside a distribution.xml could be a bit awkward...
Cheers,

Send report via email as xls file.

Hello from Spain,
Sorry if this is not the correct forum. It's both a forms and reports question, but I think it fits better in the reports forum. I have queried into the forums for similar questions and found some threads without any replies around this same issue. I wish I am lucky today.
I have developed some web forms which generate pdf and txt reports. The latter ones make use of desformat=delimiteddata when calling the reports. They run fine. I have also developed one form which suscribes those reports to email addresses. To do so, I am setting those email addresses in the DESNAME reports parameter and setting DESTYPE parameter as MAIL. They arrive as an attachment with pdf or txt extensions.
Now, I am required to deliver those reports as xls files. I have been reading that desformat=spreadsheet would allow me to do so (as well as formatting the reports and make them look "cuter" than by using just delimiteddata), but have been unable to do it so far. When setting desformat=spreadsheet, reports are sent via email as html attachments, and when they are opened they look awful. Is there any way I can do this? It shouldn't be a too big deal, but I feel completely unable.
Thank you,
Fernando G.

Hardware Error Reporting Via Email

Hello All
I have a question i hope someone can help me out with.
what i want to know is if there is a oem and or third part software that would send you server errors (mainly looking at windows) via emails. For example: if a hardware issue was to arise with lets say a HDD or some other component and the error is logged.
Would i be able to get a program to send me that error via email automatically every time an issue arises with a any hardware component or software.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
what you really need is a monitoring tool. Something like say System Center Operation Manager, nagios, HP SIM...
Many OEMS (HP, Dell, IBM/Lenovo,..) offer specific tools and configuratiotns for server grade hardware. this mostly consists of an IPMI with some vendor specifics (think HP ILO, Dell iDrac,..). this is modelspecific hardware to monitor (and configure) the
hardware. Most of these can send out emails.
Yous should never rely on the local server (only) to alert you of problems; it might be on fire when it needs to send out that mail! Have dedicated monitoring hardware.

ORA-06502 when downloading report via BI Publisher

I'm getting this error when trying to export an interactive or standard report using the BI Publisher report server. It doesn't happen on all reports, but I'm not sure what could be causing the error. The result is an excel file with the message:
<pre>report error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small</pre>
The standard report has 45 columns and 755 rows. There aren't any errors on the UI when the report is generated.
Has anyone had this problem or know what to do to fix it? I can't recreate the interactive report region on the same page because there are hundreds of saved reports that I can't delete.
APEX 4.1.1.00.23
Oracle 11g 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
Thanks!
Jonathan Hart

After reading through the trace file from the report generation it looks like the error is caused from binding the sql query to some query or data type within the APEX engine. I double-checked the length of the query and it is longer than 4000 characters. I'm sure some of the interactive report queries are also longer than 4000 with all the filters added in.
Is there anyway to fix this?

Quiz reporting via Email. Can I have your recommendations please?

Hi all,
I'm building a questionnaire via Captivate 4 which is to be distributed throughout all users in my organisation. For about half of the people I am able to distribute this quiz via a LMS so that I can get the tracking/reporting back via SCORM 2004.
Unfortunately I am not able to use this method of tracking for the rest of the people (who are stationed in our retail branches). The IT network bandwidth in these branches are so small and already occupied by other softwares, our IT team would not let me use the network (or the LMS) to distribute the questionnaire. The only option I've got is to save the questionnaire package in each branch PC and use the Email reporting facility on Captivate to get the scores back from the learners.
So I want to find out from other users (like yourself!) about how your experience was with this Email reporting feature (if you have used it at all). Browsing through Adobe Captivate forums (including this one) I am got the vibe that its not a very reliable function. Saying that.. most of those threads are quite old (posted couple of years ago). So I am hoping whether Adobe have fixed any of these bugs by now and if this functionality has become more reliable.
Your opinion / experience will be much appreciated
many thanks
Jay

You'd have to try harder than that to offend me.
My personal bugbear is people getting blamed for things that are not their fault, especially when no apology is forthcoming to the people maligned. It's not me you need to apologise to. It's all those hardworking souls at Adobe who you claim "let you down" for something that was most likely totally outside their control.
Let's say for argument's sake YOU were Adobe, and you include a feature in a software app, because people said they want it, and then this feature doesn't work for reasons that are NOT your fault. Wouldn't YOU feel YOU were being unfairly treated if someone said it was YOU that let them down when the real reason is something else? I definitely would.
Adobe isn't going to step in and tell you you're being unfair. But if that's the way I see it, count on me to defend them, just as I would defend YOU if I thought you were getting a raw deal from another person on this list.
I don't have a problem with people complaining about features in Captivate that genuinely don't work as advertised. I've done that myself. Ask anyone on the Captivate DEV team or the Pre-release team.
So by all means express your opinion. This list is as open as any you'll find in the IT world. Just don't count on everyone here agreeing with you when the facts don't support your allegations.

How can recipients submit a distributed form via email to any email address they want?

First, a little background to describe our situation:
I have a standard Acrobat form here that I need about 20 of my salespeople to use to send to their new prospective customers, have the customers fill it out, and return the completed form to their respective salesperson.
I don't want to allow my salespeople or their customers to be able to save local copies of the form because it will include personal information about the customer. If customers were to save their completed forms and email them to our salespeople, I worry that the salespeople will accidentally send out one of those completed forms to a new customer thinking that it is a clean/unfilled version of the form (and not realizing that it includes sensitive information about another customer!)
Thus, I need a way for our customers to fill and return the forms without being able to save them locally as their own versions and then sending those new versions to our salespeople.
I believe that means that I should use the "distributed forms" method and ask the customers to "submit" the forms directly rather than save/email them on their own.
I'd like to have a single form up on our website, and our salespeople will just send out the link to that form so that customers can fill out their data and submit it. If our salespeople get into the habit of just sending out the link, and they get an email with the completed form after a customer completes it, then they'll never email around actual PDF copies of the form, so they'll avoid the risk of accidentally sending out a customer's completed form that has all their personal info on it.
Here's the problem though:
Using the "distributed form" method, whenever a form is submitted by a prospective customer, it seems that it can only be submitted/sent to the email address on the Adobe account that originally created the form (which is me), but I need the completed form to be sent directly to the salesperson who covers that customer (not me).
So, is there some way to get around this issue?
Can I create a form field that allows the customer to type in the salesperson's email address so that the completed PDF of the form is sent to that salesperson when they submit it (rather than all of them being sent to me)?This would be ideal because it would still be a distributed form that allows people to submit their forms directly to their salespersons without having to save local versions of the form w/ all their personal info and then emailing to the salesperson.
If this can't work, is there some way to make sure that when a customer fills out a form that they are required to save it as a new version under a new file name (like "NormalFileName_CustomerLastName")?If the file name is always different than the original, clean copy of the form, then it would make it less likely that my salespeople would send out the wrong version.
I know this issue must come up with people all the time! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You would have to first change the email address that Acrobat uses (Edit > Preferences > Identity > Email Address) and then redistribute the form in Acrobat and send it to your users.

530 authentication required, when send report as email thru Discoverer View

Hi,
You need to talk with your "system", it seems like you got to a closed port.
Also it may be that a firewall is blocking you.

Sending Report via Email from app Serv 10g

I am able to generate a report as an email using the following link
http://server:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=xx/xx@xx&module=ord_ack.rdf&destype=MAIL&DESNAME=[email protected]&desformat=pdf&subject="Order Placed"&from=[email protected]&A_SEQ_ORDER_NO=4104&a_user=NKW&a_by_user=NKW&A_PRINT_KIT=Y&A_RPT_NAME=P
The issue is that the email is blank... I've tried using &body=" " or &message=" " to no affect.
This is going to be user defined text, so I need to be variable. Anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Scott

I believe with destype=mail, the whole report is going to be attached as a file, so there is no body message.
Are you getting the report attached as a .pdf file ?
If you want to customize the body with a message and send the report as a .pdf attachment then look at chapter 15 - Creating Advanced Distributions, basically, you would be doing XML distribution.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048.pdf
i.e.
Sample XML file
<mail id="grx90" to="[email protected]">
<body srcType="text">
Attached you will find the summary report and breakdown by department of weekly
totals.
</body>
<attach format="rtf" name="myAttach.rtf" srcType="report">
<include src="report"/>
</attach>Sample URL
http://your_server:port/reports/rwservlet?report=rep.jsp&userid=db_credentials&destination=$ORACLE_HOME/reports/distribution/distribution.xml&distribute=yes
