Email Delivery Option - Simple TEXT Output is coming as an attachment

Hi All,
I am trying to use R12.1.3 feature "Delivery Option" while Submitting Concurrent Program "Payables Open Interface Import" using FND_SUBMIT with email Delivery Option and email is coming with an attachment (Concurrent Program Output).
Email Body is blank (as expected if Output is coming as an attachment), as per documentation if CP Output is in TEXT Format then Email body should show the Output instead of an attachment.
My Question, is if Output is TEXT why it is coming as an attachment, do I need to Configure something?
I am using and it is working fine(not sure if any of the argument is required to Set "SMTP_CONTENT_TYPE",
l_ret := fnd_request.add_delivery_option
(type => FND_DELIVERY.TYPE_EMAIL
     ,p_argument1 => 'Quick Invoice to Workbench Transfer Details' -- Subject
     ,p_argument2 => '[email protected]' -- From
     ,p_argument3 => l_email_add -- To
     ,p_argument4 => '[email protected]'); -- CC
In Java Based Concurrent Program example, I foudn this line, not sure how to do that using PL/SQL
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_CONTENT_TYPE, "application/pdf");
Please Help.
Regards
Sachin

Hello Kamath,

Question about file extension - using email delivery options in 12.1.3

So, we had 12.1.1 and we have some existing XML Publisher reports.
Now we've upgraded to 12.1.3, and there is a new option when running a concurrent request called "Delivery Options".
This allows, among other things, to deliver the output to an email address.
In testing this, I tried running a report that typically outputs to Excel....however when it sends the email (again, not using a bursting control file, but the delivery options in the concurrent request), the attachment comes over with an extension of .EXCEL instead of .XLS
Does anyone know where I can change that extension?
thanks!

Problems with DocumentProcessor using email delivery option

I have created an xml file containing the data and delivery details. I am
using the command java oracle.apps.xdo.batch.DocumentProcessor to process the

I use email as the delivery method nothing gets emailed.

Passing Delivery option to child concurrent request

hi, we have a concurrent request(parent) using SQL to call a new concurrent request (child),
Since if we run the parant with email delivery option , the parent call the child to execute. But the email sent the parent output, we actually want the child's output.
So I would like to ask can passing the delivery option from parent to child in the SQL?
Any sample for references?
Many thanks.

How to take Text Output in File as It shows error of Printer definition file

I want to take Output of a report in text file or rtf format so that i could be able to print on a DMP, it is very difficult to take printing on Inkjets with wide information. How can i take fast printing on Dot Matrix Printer.
Looking forward for a quick & positive response.

Hi ,
Text outut dump can be got by running the report with desformat as delimited. Alternatively You can run the Report in character mode and set the desformat=dflt and destype=file. This will give you a simple text output of the report which can then be printed.
Thanks

Compiling from command line I found out that the class definition for oracle.oats.scripting.modules.basic.api.IteratingVUserScript is missing. Do you know what .jar file contains this class?

Deadline Notifications - Change Smartform output to simple text

Hi Gurus,
SRM 7.0. Deadline notifications are configured for Process Controlled WF and are being generated. However these are generated as Smartform output and when forwarded to Outlook/Lotus Notes email accounts, they come through as a bunch of special characters. Is there any way to generate the notifications as simple text?
Thanks,
RM.

Vipin,
What encoding settings are you referring to?
I assume you are referring to the BAdI - BBP_OUTPUT_CHANGE_SF. I did implement it for changing mail/notification subject. Even that change is not coming through. And I am not sure which parameter can be set to change the output format.
I have no issues with the offline approval mail.
Thanks,
RM.
Resolved on my own by debugging. cs_parameters-mail_format should be set to blank (BAdI implementation - BBP_OUTPUT_CHANGE_SF).

How to default Concurrent Program delivery options to Email.

As of r12.1.3, we have a new button in concurrent request submission window called "Delivery Opts"
Clicking that button opens up a new window with delivery options.   Second tab contains the Email option.
I have a need where a concurrent program is submitted it should email the output by default without needing to manually enter email details every time.
I know that this can be done via scheduled concurrent requests. But in my case this concurrent program will be part of the shipping document set and will be submitted through the form and not SRS.
In concurrent program definition window under AOL, we have ability to assign default printer, but we do not have any ability to assign default email functionality.   It would be nicer if we had one.
That having said, does any one know how to do this ? How can I submit a concurrent program from a form and default to email option ?   Where would I control this setup?
Please advise.
Darsh

you may not be able to do that by setup, but if you submit this request using pl/sql code you can do this
please check example below
DECLARE
l_conc_id NUMBER;
l_user_id NUMBER := xxx ; -- you can assign it from profile option value
l_resp_id NUMBER := xxx ; -- you can assign it from profile option value
l_resp_ppl_id NUMBER := xxx; -- you can assign it from profile option value
l_boolean BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
l_boolean :=
fnd_request.add_delivery_option (TYPE => 'E', -- this one to speciy the delivery option as Email
p_argument1 => 'Testing the Email option from back end', -- subject for the mail
p_argument2 => '[email protected]', -- from address
p_argument3 => '[email protected]','[email protected]', -- to address
p_argument4 => '', -- cc address to be specified here.
nls_language => ''); -- language option);
IF l_boolean = TRUE THEN
FND_GLOBAL.APPS_INITIALIZE (l_user_id, l_resp_id, l_resp_ppl_id); -- intialize the apps.
l_conc_id :=
fnd_request.submit_request (application => 'FND',program => 'XXXXXXX', -- you concurrent program.
start_time => SYSDATE,sub_request => FALSE);
END IF;
END;

Does turning off email delivery also turn off text delivery?

I just got an 8330 when my work switched to Sprint. I am on vacation for the next two weeks and would like to turn off my work email delivery. It comes through a Microsoft Exchange server. I also have two AOL personal accounts on the phone. If I select "No" for "send email to handheld," will that stop delivery of all my email accounts or will AOL messages still be received? I have separate icons for each of those accounts.
In addition, I do not want to stop delivery of text messages. I have them separate from email right now. Will doing the above stop delivery of texts?
I looked to see if this had been answered before, but did not find it. Sorry if I missed it. Thanks for any help you can offer.

HI and Welcome to the Forums!
For your work emails, I suggest you talk to your BES admins about what to do...they are in control of that component.
For the personal emails, the setting to NO will accomplish what you desire...it does exactly as it states (Send Email To HH = NO). You have to set that for each account.
None of this affects Text Messaging...those are completely separate.

Mail delivery option not working as expected

Hi Jay,
I am running MS 6.0p1. I am using Sun ONE Delegated Administrator for Messaging and Collaboration
Version 1.2P2 to create and maintain mailboxes.
I have a need to run a program when mail is sent to a certain mailbox, so I created the mailbox and went into the Mail Delivery Options screen, checked the "Enable the following programs" checkbox, and put the full path to the command in the box. When I tried to send a message to the specified address, it bounced.
Thinking that there was something wrong with the program itself, I tried to simplify the test by setting the program to "/bin/false", but that still bounced.
Here is the LDAP entry for the mailbox in question:
dn: uid=test, ou=people, o=qisc.com,o=q
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: inetUser
objectClass: ipUser
objectClass: nsManagedPerson
objectClass: userPresenceProfile
objectClass: inetMailUser
objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
mail: [email protected]
mailUserStatus: active
dataSource: NDA 4.5 Delegated Administrator
mailHost: quixote.qisc.com
givenName: Test
cn: Test Program
uid: test
nsdaCapability: mailListCreate
sn: Program
preferredLanguage: en
inetUserStatus: active
userPassword: {SSHA}value deleted==
mailDeliveryOption: program
mailProgramDeliveryInfo: /bin/falseWhen I send mail to this address, here's the bounce message:
Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
Recipient address: test%/bin/false@pipe-daemon
Original address: [email protected]
Reason: Address not found in database
Reporting-MTA: dns;quixote.qisc.com (pipe-daemon)
Original-recipient: rfc822;[email protected]
Final-recipient: rfc822;test%/bin/false@pipe-daemon
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0 (Address not found in database)What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Bill

As it turns out, setting this up was simple, one I figured out the "imsimta program" thing.
Here's what I did to get this working.
1. Created the following shell script named "deliver-listserv" in the /var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/site-programs directory:
#!/bin/ksh
# Script to invoke the LISTSERV lsv_amin command when a
# message is sent to a mailing list.
LISTSERV_HOME=~listserv
LSV_AMIN=$LISTSERV_HOME/bin/lsv_amin
SPOOL_DIR=$LISTSERV_HOME/spool
listAddress=$1
listAddress=${listAddress%+listserv}
if [ "$listAddress" = "" ];then
exit 1
fi
exec $LSV_AMIN $SPOOL_DIR $listAddress2. Set the permissions of the above script to 755.
3. Added this program to the list of approved programs using the imsimta program command:
imsimta program -a -m listserv -p deliver-listserv -e postmaster -g "%s"4. For each list in question, created a mailbox for all of the addresses required by LISTSERV (in this case, test, owner-test, test-request, test-search-request, test-server, test-signoff-request, and test-subscribe-request).
5. For each of the mailboxes created in #5, set the mail delivery options to run the message using the listserv method defined in #3 by checking the "Enable the following programs" checkbox and specifying "listserv" in the command text box. This sets the following attributes in the mailbox's LDAP entry:
mailDeliveryOption: program
mailProgramDeliveryInfo: listservThat's all it takes. Since I specified the "-g" option to supply the username when the program is called, the string "test+listserv" is passed to my script, where I simply strip off the "+listserv" and then invoke the lsv_amin program to handle the delivery. Darned if it didn't work on the first try!

Generating TEXT output from RTF template/reports

Hi ,
We have been working with XML Publisher for a long time now.. and we have come across some requirements such as
1. Page break in TXT report output
2. Page Headers after every 'X' lines in TEXT output.
This was easily achieved with RTF template and PDF/HTML/RTF output, but not with TEXT output in eTEXT template.
So we started looking into two approaches
1. Generate TXT from PDF/RTF/HTML output(generated from RTF template), though it will addon to the time, but we are looking for this approach. We are looking for some JAVA api's which can help us to extract text from PDF/HTML/RTF while preserving the format.
2. Pass the TXT generated by eTEXT template to our custom util , which will split the report in diff. pages.This will get complex as we recieve more and more reports.
We have also tried hacking the RTF parser used in XML P so as to get a TXT output or using XSL-FO objects in eTEXT parser, but we could not get anything of our help.
Does anyone have any pointers in this.
regards
Gaurav

You can burst with eText and I have done it
successfully.
I don't believe pagebreaks are an option in eText and
I don't think it makes sense either since your
generating a flat-file and not a customer or internal
facing document. Does that make sense?
Also, if you would like you can use the
BIPublisherIDE, this code can be converted pretty
easily to handle jcp. There is a an oa framework
version I have developed but I haven't posted on my
blog yet. I plan on adding a bolt on for java
concurrent programs soon. it's really pretty simple
just haven't had the time.

Thanks Ike for your reply.
I agree with your points on TXT files, but in our case,the reports are generated in TXT format for the customer so we are looking for the above mentioned features.
I have gone through BIP IDE and its a wonderful small utility which eases the task of BIP development.
As I mentioned in my original post that we are currently processing the generated TXT report using a custom util. in JAVA to get the desired output in TXT again.
I assume thats not what a JCP would do,so I am looking to explore that too.
As I understand the process for report generation is
1. Generate XSL from eTEXT template.
2. Get the XML data from DB using XDO
3. Apply XSL on XML to get the required template.
If we are looking to achieve some customizations then we need to have the XSL generated with those customizations.
In this case, where do we plug in the JCP to alter XSL or am I missing something.

Gaurav

Imple mail v/s Email Fax functionality in message output determination

Can someone tell me what is the difference between simple mail functionality v/s email fax functionality in output determination ...
i have a reqmt from client as follows
1. A document neeeds to be sent to multiple email addresses and multiple faxes.
also the document that we sending thru mail /fax shud be stored in oyr SAP system for records .
Distribution lists is an option , but can i also use this functionality to send document via faxes ..but distribution list can only be set up for simple mail functionality ..
Second , i donthave an option of maintaining group email id in master eg vendor master as , this functionality if sending the Agency Business documnet (ABD) to multiple email address is only for ABD ...
However other documents like PO will be required to be sent to only someone in specific...
Regards ,
Madhavi solanki

Hi,
If you are using Simple mail functionality you can provide multiple mail ids (to whom you want to send the mail) during condition record maintenance.
Where as in case of email - for ex: to send PO to vendor via email, you can maintain the output medium as email & system will pick the email id from the vendor master.
Hope its clear.
Thanks & Regards,

Information Broadcasting direct email delivery of CSV files?

Hello,
Is there any way to configure Information Broadcasting in BW 3.5/Netweaver 04 such that email delivery of CSV files is possible? I see that the pre-calculation server will generate workbooks. Though, we really need delivery direct to CSV.
Alternatively, has any one come up with a process of delivering Bex web links with a template that can generate CSV? I saw this second option come up in a previous topic, but I am not sure how this would work.
Regards,
Joel

Hello,
Sorry I did not see your question until today. It seems that you posted right before I went on vacation. º To answer your questions
To Broadcast a Template for CSV extract only
1)     Create a new template
2)     Add a table
3)     Set the new table as HIDDEN
4)     Add Button or In-line command

The option "Build-in Output" does not appear under my Sound preferences

The sound stopped coming out of my built in speakers. The sound does come through headphonse. The option "Built-in Output" does not appear under my Sound preferences. How can I restore the Built-in Output option under my Sound preferences. Currently the only option that displays is "Digital Out".

Please stop sticking things in your audio ports. you can very easily damage the switch. There is a simple procedure that usually will switch your mac back to internal speakers.
1. open the Audio MID setup app in your utilities folder.
2. Select 'built in output'
3. try the 'source' pull down menu. probably it will read 'digital out' with no other options.
4. control click the 'built in output' option on the left and select 'configure speakers' from the pull down menu.
5. a drop down window will open. Make sure 'Stereo' is selected and click 'done'
6. The Source pulldown menu should now read 'internal speakers'
7. Close the Audio MIDI setup app and get back to work
