Email file attachments using utl_smtp

I would like to attach a PDF file to an e-mail. The PDF file
will be generated from Oracle Reports. I will send the e-mail
from Oracle Forms using the utl_smtp procedure. The email will
have some text in the body of the email and I would like to
attach the PDF file.
I have know how to send an emial using the utl_smtp procedure
with a subject and body text. I have seen an example of how to
attach in-line text, but wasn't sure how to attache a file.
In example It appears that the attached text file is generated
from inline text and they are not attaching a Text File.
Can anyone help.
P.S. I am doing this both from the WEB and Client Server

The issue has to do with the space in filename in the utl_http.begin_request. I got it fixed. Thanks

Email file attachments in Gmail on Mac

When I use Macmail I can easily click an email file attachments through gmail withoiut saving them. Not so when I go through gmail on Firefox. When I click the file attachment in gmail using Firefox it prompts me to save it instead of just opening it up. I don't want to store the file. The hundreds of of file I need to just look at and not file are clogging up my hard drive. I am using Macpro with Snow Leopard.
HELP.

How to remove file attachments using the SDK

I am looking for ways to programmatically remove file attachments from work items. If I recall correctly, the system only keeps the file for as long as the relationship exists, so that, in theory, the file is deleted from the database a soon as the
relationship is removed.
I found this
Using the SDK to Create and Edit Objects and Relationships Using Type Projections
Is this the only way or are the other, simpler ways for deleting relationships and/or file attachments?
Is this something I could do with the Orchestrator Remove Relationship activity?
A little background on this question: I have multiple different teams with varying data retention requirements for Service Requests. My longest requirement is 3 years (audit) while most teams only require 90 days. I was looking to add in some
jobs for some more aggressive file attachment grooming to keep the database smaller.
Thanks.

The relationship is defined as a membership/containment relationship. So, yes, if you delete the relationship, the file attachment (and the associated blob) are deleted as well.
Based on the background you described, I'm assuming you identify a bunch of work orders whose files you want to delete if they're older than X. So, for instance "Work Items with Y team; delete file attachments older than 90 days", "Work Items
with Q team; delete file attachments older than 3 years". Is that right?
If so, you don't necessarily need to delete relationships specifically...you can simply delete the file attachment objects which will delete the relationship, the file attachment object, and the associated blob (the file itself in the database).
Using the SDK, you will not need type projections for this. You'll only need the work item object(s) (an incident or service request or whatever), the GetRelatedObjects<>() method, and an IncrementalDiscoveryData object.
So, after you get all of the appropriate work items, you can use the following snippet to delete their file attachments if the attachments meet your age requirements
//Connect to the management group
String strMySCSMServer = "<my mgmt server>";
emg = new EnterpriseManagementGroup(strMySCSMServer);
IncrementalDiscoveryData idd = new IncrementalDiscoveryData();
ManagementPackRelationship relWorkItemHasFileAttachment = emg.EntityTypes.GetRelationshipClass(new Guid("AA8C26DC-3A12-5F88-D9C7-753E5A8A55B4")); //System.WorkItemHasFileAttachment
//Get the work item's related file attachments using it's Id
Guid myWorkItemGuid = new Guid("<some work item guid>");
IList<EnterpriseManagementObject> lstFileAttachments = emg.EntityObjects.GetRelatedObjects<EnterpriseManagementObject>(myWorkItemGuid, relWorkItemHasFileAttachment, TraversalDepth.OneLevel, ObjectQueryOptions.Default);
//Loop through each file attachment
foreach (EnterpriseManagementObject emoFile in lstFileAttachments)
//Determine its age
DateTime AddedDate = (DateTime)emoFile[null, "AddedDate"].Value;
TimeSpan FileAttachmentAge = AddedDate.Subtract(DateTime.Now);
//Prep the file attachment for deletion if it's old enough, in this example, older than 90 days
if (FileAttachmentAge.Days > 90)
idd.Remove(emoFile);
//Submit the deletions to the database.
idd.Commit(emg);

Emailing attachments using utl_smtp

Hi,
How can one use UTL_SMTP to send a file generated by email as an attachment. I created a MS Excel Spreadsheet on an apps server. I would like to send it as an attachment to recipients.
Oneway is to use the uuencode in UNIX script.
But I wanted it to be sent using UTL_SMTP. Could someone please suggest a right direction?
Thanks
uds

Hi Billy,
Thanks for the updates. My question is how to send a file that is already created as an attachment using UTL_SMTP.
It is like a truck delivering cargo. It does not make the cargo. In other words, it does construct a completed e-mail for your.
The file (cargo) is created using UTL_FILE in the apps server. Now I want to use UTL_SMTP to send an email to a list of recipients with this file as an attachment.
The header that includes data like the e-mail subject, the type of mail and so on. Followed by the body that contains the actual e-mail contents, which includes any attachments
That is the isuue I am confronting. How do I attach the file already created? Here is the snippet of my code that formulates the body of the email.
UTL_SMTP.helo (srvr_conn, p_server);
UTL_SMTP.mail (srvr_conn, p_sender);
UTL_SMTP.rcpt (srvr_conn, p_recipient);
UTL_SMTP.open_data (srvr_conn);
UTL_SMTP.write_data (srvr_conn,
'Content-Type: text/html' || UTL_TCP.crlf
UTL_SMTP.write_data (srvr_conn,
'Subject : Transaction types available'
|| UTL_TCP.crlf
UTL_SMTP.write_data (srvr_conn, 'To : ' || p_recipient || UTL_TCP.crlf);
UTL_SMTP.write_data
(srvr_conn,
' <html> <body> <table border="1" bordercolor="black">
<tr>
<th>Trx ID</th>
<th>Trx Code</th>
</tr>'
FOR rec IN c1
LOOP
UTL_SMTP.write_data (srvr_conn,
'<tr>
<td>'|| rec.trx_id|| '</td>
<td>'|| rec.trx_code|| '</td>
</tr>'
END LOOP;
UTL_SMTP.write_data (srvr_conn, ' </table></body> </html>');
UTL_SMTP.close_data (srvr_conn);
UTL_SMTP.quit (srvr_conn);
Now, how do I ask it to pick the file from server and attach it to the email before "quitting SMTP"? Firstly, can I do that? If yes, can you please suggest me the means how to do it? Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks
uds
PS: c1 is a cursor stmnt; p_server, p_sender, p_recipient are derived from flex values and srvr_conn is type UTL_SMTP.connection

Formatting emails:I am using UTL_SMTP package foe sending them.

Hi
I created a PL/SQL job to schedule email sending. The code looks like:
DECLARE
l_mailhost VARCHAR2(64) := 'qiudubcorrel001.qa.local';
l_from VARCHAR2(64) := '[email protected]';
l_to VARCHAR2(64) := '[email protected]';
l_mail_conn UTL_SMTP.connection;
BEGIN
l_mail_conn := UTL_SMTP.open_connection(('10.253.14.240'), 25);
UTL_SMTP.helo(l_mail_conn, '10.253.14.240');
UTL_SMTP.mail(l_mail_conn, l_from);
UTL_SMTP.rcpt(l_mail_conn, l_to);
UTL_SMTP.data(l_mail_conn, 'Single string message.' || Chr(13));
UTL_SMTP.quit(l_mail_conn);
END;
The code works fine, but now I want to add colour to my email, or introduce other formatting as well. How can I do that here?
Thanks,
Kamal

* PROCEDURE NAME : XX_EMAIL_FILES
* DESCRIPTION:
* ==========
* Sends e-mail (text and/or html, either as a string or from a file)
* to one or more recipients (including cc and/or bcc recipients), along with
* up to 3 file attachments (text and/or binary; default is text/plain), using
* the UTL_SMTP package to send the e-mail, the DBMS_LOB package to read
* binary file attachments, and the UTL_ENCODE package to convert the binary
* attachments to BASE64 for character string (non-binary) transmission.
* BE AWARE THAT A COMMIT MAY BE DONE BY THIS ROUTINE.
* PARAMETERS:
* ==========
* The complete parameter list for the xx_email_files procedure is shown below:
* NAME TYPE DESCRIPTION
* from_name IN Name and e-mail address to put in the From field
* to_names IN Names and e-mail addresses for the To field (separated by
* commas or semicolons)
* subject IN Text string for Subject field
* message IN Text string or text file name for Message, if any
* html_message IN Html string or html file name for Message, if any
* cc_names IN Names and e-mail addresses for the Cc field, if any
* (separated by commas or semicolons)
* bcc_names IN Names and e-mail addresses for the Bcc field, if any
* (separated by commas or semicolons)
* filename1 IN First unix file pathname to attach, if any
* filetype1 IN Mime type of first file (defaults to 'text/plain')
* filename2 IN Second unix file pathname to attach, if any
* filetype2 IN Mime type of second file (defaults to 'text/plain')
* filename3 IN Third unix file pathname to attach, if any
* filetype3 IN Mime type of third file (defaults to 'text/plain')
* Sample names and e-mail addresses are: arun (attaches @),
* [email protected], , xxx , and
* "xxx"
* A sample call in PL/SQL is shown below, which sends a text and html message,
* plus a text file and two binary files (note: the slash after "end;" must be
* the first character on it's line):
* begin
* xx_email_files(from_name => '[email protected]' ,
* to_names => '[email protected]',
* subject => 'A test',
* message => 'A TEST MESSAGE',
* html_message => '
A test message
* filename1 => '/ora_appl/oracle/11.5.0/data/xxx.pdf',
* filename2 => '/usr/tmp/115apug.pdf',
* filetype2 => 'application/pdf',
* filename3 => '',
* filetype3 => 'image/jpeg'
* end
* If the message or html_message string has a file name in it (starting with
* a forward slash), the text or html file is copied into the e-mail as the
* message or html message; otherwise, the message or html_message is copied
* into the e-mail as-is.
* Attachment file types (mime types) that I've tested include:
* text/plain,
* text/html,
* image/jpeg,
* image/gif,
* application/pdf,
* application/msword
* A list of mime types can be seen at:
* http://www.webmaster-toolkit.com/mime-types.shtml
* If the mime type does not begin with "text", it is assumed to be a binary
* file that will be encoded as base64 before transmission.

How can i secure email with attachments using coldfusion

Hi,
I need to send emails with attachments containg word, excel or PDF documents using cfmail. However this email needs to be really secure. How is the best way to secure the entire email with its attachments.
Any ideas appreciated
Thanks
Zubair

Hi ,
I hope the following will help you..., using the UTL_SMTP db package.
DECLARE
c UTL_SMTP.CONNECTION;
PROCEDURE send_header(name IN VARCHAR2, header IN VARCHAR2) AS
BEGIN
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, name || ': ' || header || UTL_TCP.CRLF);
END;
BEGIN
-- Open connection to SMTP gateway
c := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION('smtp.server.acme.com');
UTL_SMTP.HELO(c, 'acme.com');
UTL_SMTP.MAIL(c, '[email protected]');
UTL_SMTP.RCPT(c, '[email protected]');
UTL_SMTP.OPEN_DATA(c);
send_header('From', '"Oracle Admin" ');
send_header('To', '"Bob Smith" ');
send_header('Subject', 'Automated Database Email');
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, utl_tcp.CRLF || 'This is an automated email from the Oracle database.');
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, utl_tcp.CRLF || 'The database is working for you!');
UTL_SMTP.CLOSE_DATA(c);
UTL_SMTP.QUIT(c);
END;

I want to view email file attachments in the 6.0 browzer, how?

Operating System XP SP2, Firefox 6.0, Email Outlook Express.
I am emailed video files as attachments in Quick Time Player formats .MOV and M4V. I am unable to view the files from the Browzer. I have to save the files and access to access them in VLC Media Player. I want to be able to click on the attachments and view within Firefox as in prior versions.
I see no one else has asked this question, but there are a multitude of complaints on line.

You can't. Not in landscape. There is no way to hide or remove it.

Using PI 7.1 to transfer file attachments using MTOM standard

Hello All,
We have a scenario using PI 7.1 and we are required that PI calls a synchronous backend service and the backend service returns an attachement using MTOM format.
1) Can this be handled using PI ?
2) Any file size restrictions doing so using PI.
3) Any configuration setting which can be used to achieve the same.
Thanks.
Kiran

hi,
this should be possible with 7.1 as per:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/76/fc9c3d9a864aef8139d70759a499fc/frameset.htm

Sending emails with attachments , using Automator

I am new to Automator , which seems an amazing programme .
I have set up a workflow so I can send images embedded into emails and send .
However I am finding the apple mail takes ages to send emails out .
Is there a way I could send them via another mail programme ?.
Any genius out there ¿ .
thank you

Which antivirus software do you run on your computer? Are there any errors posting? Have you shut off any email firewalls temporarily to attempt to isolate your issue? Do you have outlook 2003 on more than 1 pc in your home? Have your tried to attach a small text file and send it to see if that goes thru successfully?

Email file attachments in SAP

Hello,
Is there any size limitation for the attachments in mail send option?
If yes where can we check the defined limit.
In my case when attached file contains more than 1000 records, it does not send the data in mail.
Is there any parameter to pass in such case?

Sending emails with attachments through outlook 2003

Hello,
I have recently switch from cablevison to Fios. With Cablevison, I never had a problem with email. However, now I am having problems sending emails with attachments using outlook 2003. I have called Verizon and we troubleshooted the problem and they feel this is a Microsoft problem.
I can send email's without attachments through outlook and verizon.net, but I can't send emails with attachments through outlook, I can send them though verizon.net. All my settings are correct for sending and receiving email.
I called Microsoft and they say it a Verizon problem...
HELP, does anyone have a solution?????
Thanks

Which antivirus software do you run on your computer? Are there any errors posting? Have you shut off any email firewalls temporarily to attempt to isolate your issue? Do you have outlook 2003 on more than 1 pc in your home? Have your tried to attach a small text file and send it to see if that goes thru successfully?

Export file Attachments in Siebel

hi ,
we have a requirement to export siebel attachment from Siebel eclinical application. The entity relation is between activity and attachments.
When i am trying to export the files attachments using the following IFB code
[Siebel Interface Manager]
     USER NAME = "sadmin"
     PASSWORD = "****"
     PROCESS = "EXPORTATTACHMENTS"
[EXPORTATTACHMENTS]
     TYPE = EXPORT
     TABLE = EIM_ACT_DTL
     BATCH = 2
     ATTACHMENT DIRECTORY = "f:\sia81\CTMS\siebsrvr\OUTPUT"
     EXPORT ALL ROWS = FALSE
     EXPORT MATCHES     = S_ACTIVITY_ATT,( FILE_NAME LIKE "MarcRendell-PS%")
When runnign this ifb following is the observation
1) the process is extracting all the reocrds activity table to EIM tables and seems like EXPORT MATCHES condition is kinda ignored as there were less numbers of recprds which were expedted.
2) the files are not getting exported to the location ( also tried with SiebFS)
Could you please help me with your inputs which will help me to solve this issue.
Warm Regards
Ashutosh

     BATCH = 2
     TABLE = EIM_ACT_DTL
     EXPORT MATCHES     = S_EVT_ACT,(ACTIVITY_UID LIKE "1-36RUP%")
     ONLY BASE TABLES = S_EVT_ACT,S_EVT_ACT_X,S_ACTIVITY_ATT
I could see the following error in the log file.

please suggest probable cause.

Fetching email with attachments in Tomcat

I'm trying to process emails with attachments using following code and it works fine in standalone java application, but when I run this code on Tomcat it treates all messages as not multipart. Class of all contents got from messages is SharedByteArrayInputStream.
I'm using jdk1.6.0_27 and javamail1_4_5
I put mail.jar in WEB-INF/lib of my war.
Can anyone help my how to deal with this? What's wrong?
package test;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.Folder;
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.Multipart;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Store;
public class Main {
private static Store store;
private static Folder folder;
* @param args
* @throws Exception
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
try {
List<Message> messages = getMessages("...", "...", "...");
for (Message mess : messages) {
System.out.println(mess.getSentDate());
Object content = mess.getContent();
if (content instanceof Multipart) {
System.out.println("miltipart");
} else {
System.out.println("plain");
} finally {
close();
public static List<Message> getMessages(String host, String userName, String password) throws Exception {
if (store != null || folder != null) {
throw new IllegalStateException("There are open and closed messages exist");
// create empty properties
Properties props = new Properties();
// get session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
try {
// get the store
store = session.getStore("pop3");
store.connect(host, userName, password);
// get folder
folder = store.getFolder("INBOX");
folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
// get directory
return Arrays.asList(folder.getMessages());
} catch (MessagingException e) {
throw new Exception("Exception while mail receiving ", e);
public static void close() throws MessagingException {
// close connection
if (folder != null) {
folder.close(false);
if (store != null) {
store.close();
folder = null;
store = null;
}

But I found another interesting issue.
When I run my application everything works fine on first iteration. According to my code I get default instance of Session, get Store, get Folder and at last getMessages. After processing messages I close folder and store.
But if I don't restart my application and try to get messages again all of the SAME messages became plain (SharedByteArrayInputStream) again (as it was earlier).
If I restart my application first iteration works fine and others fails.
In both iterations used the same instance of class where I put Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(BaseEmailService.class.getClassLoader());
What I must reinitialize to make it works on each iteration?

How can I email using UTL_SMTP with a csv file as an attachment?

Dear All,
It would be great if someone could help me. I am trying to use UTL_SMTP to email with a csv file as attachment. I do get an email with a message but no attachment arrives with it.
In fact the code used for attaching the csv file gets appended in the message body in the email.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test_mail

SENDER constant VARCHAR2(80) := '[email protected]';

lv_brk VARCHAR2(2) := CHR(13)||CHR(10);

mail_conn := utl_smtp.open_connection(mailhost, 25) ;

Use UTL_MAIL instead.That package is an utter disappointment - and an excellent example IMO of how not to design an application programming interface. Even the source code is shoddy.. I mean, having to resort to a GOTO statement....!!?? The person(s) who wrote that package are sorely lacking in even the most basic of programming skills if structured programming is ignored and a spaghetti command used instead.
No wonder the public interface of that code is equally shabby and thoughtless... The mail demo code posted by Oracle was better written than this "+package+" they now have bundled as the official Mail API.
I dunno.. if I was in product management there would have been hell to pay over pushing cr@p like that to customers.

I'm using yahoo email on firefox but cannot download or save doc file attachments

Emails that I have received on my yahoo account contain attachments, saved as word documents or powerpoint or pdf files. Today, when I tried to download these files, the daownloading software could not recognise the file format in any of the files (I tried with twenty different files), and therefore could not download or save the files. The pop up window simply states "Resolving...." and does not change at all.
Please assist me to download file attachments on emails that come through yahoo, when I use Firefox as my browser.

Hi there,
Please take a look at this article ([[Managing file types]]). Let us know if it worked!
Regards,
Ziggy
