Email from Oracle Forms Server/10gAS

I know we can use DB SMTP package to send email from DB. But we like to send emails along with attachments from Oracle Forms/10gAS server.
What is the best solution that is available? Any options in WebUtil in Oracle Forms?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm doing a similar kind of thing on our app server. We're using WebUtil to interact with the client outlook (either that or install Outlook on the app server machine). Forms is controlling the email software.
Oracle does have a white paper on this something to do with MAPI sessions but it was so long ago that I did this that I can't remember.
Hopefully this will help you somewhat

Sending email from Oracle Forms with attachments

Hi,
Is there any package or option available in Oracle forms to send email with attachments?
Your reply will be highly appreciated.
Regds,
noneda

There are a couple of ways to send email (with attachements) from Oracle Forms. Check out these links to some examples.
using OLE2 or CLIENT_OLE2 to access a mail-client via Mail-Api ( Get and set Outlook properties )
using MAILTO in conjunction with HOST or CLIENT_HOST to "start" a mail-client ( Re: Open Microsoft Outlook new massage with TO containing the email address )
using UTL_SMTP for database-side-mailing ( Re: Send mail with attachment )
Hope this helps,
Craig...

Sending email through a public folder from Oracle forms 6i

Hi,
I have read a lot about this topic but still can't seem to figure out how to send a email from a public folder that I have access to. I am logged on as myself into Outlook and I have access to a public folder. When I send a email with attachments to a client it MUST show the public folder email address as the "FROM'. How can I get outlook to stop defaulting to my email? I have the proper rights and so forth meaing I can send a test email logged onto this folder and user cc,bcc, BUT not the FROM field.
Here is my code:
Declare
objOutlook OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
objMail OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
objArg OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
objArg2 OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
objAttach OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
nameSpace OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
args OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
BEGIN
objOutlook := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Outlook.Application');
args:=OLE2.create_arglist;
OLE2.add_arg(args,'MAPI');
nameSpace:=ole2.invoke_obj(objOutlook,'getNameSpace',args);
OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);
OLE2.invoke(nameSpace,'Logon');
objarg := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(objarg,0);
objMail := OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(objOutlook,'CreateItem', objarg);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(objarg);
objAttach := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(objmail, 'Attachments');
objarg := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(objarg,'c:\Jan28.txt');
objarg2 := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(objarg2,'c:\2011_1.pdf'); -- filename
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'FROM','[email protected]');
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'To','[email protected]');
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Bcc','[email protected]');
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Subject','Email sent from Oracle Forms 6i');
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Body','Testing email FROM');
OLE2.INVOKE(objattach, 'Add', objarg);
OLE2.INVOKE(objattach, 'Add', objarg2);
OLE2.INVOKE(objmail,'Send');
OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(objmail);
OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(nameSpace);
OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(objOutlook);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(objarg);
END;
Please let me know why OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'FROM','[email protected]');
does not work. And how I can get it to work?
Any suggestions much appreciated...

You can send emails using the utl_smtp package. There are many examples in the pl/sql forum, or on http://asktom.oracle.com.

Hi,
You have to have the report server
a. Installed and configured
b. Running.
See
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_strt001.htm
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_verify004.htm
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_conf003.htm#i1007341
If you are using rwservlet then you will find the name from the Configuration file referred to in the last link.
Cheers,

How to print BIP reports from Oracle Forms?

Hi all,
I have a question in regards to printing BIP reports from Oracle Forms... We are aiming for a server installation of BIP with integration to Oracle Forms using SSO to handle security. We use Forms built-in web.show_document to render and view the report in PDF/Excel etc... We would like to by pass the viewing and print some of these reports directly to the printer.
Any idea/suggestions how we can go about this?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Yahya

Yahya,
via HTTP it's not possible to send a report directly to the printer. You had to go via the Scheduler, which is able to do that. With the WebService API you can call a report with the Scheduler and Execute Immediate.

How to Call a jasper report from Oracle Forms 6i.

Hi
Can anybody tel me how to Call a jasper report from ORacle Forms 6i.
Thanks & Regards
Bango

Forms 6i client/server? Use the HOST command to call the report. Since a Jasper report is just a call to a url, it will be something like:
v_url := '<your url to the report>';
host ('cmd /c start '||v_url);If it's web Forms 6i it even easier. Just use web.show_document(<url>).

Calling Stored procedure in Oracle 11g from Oracle forms developer 6i

We have Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7.0 ) database (64 bit) installed on Windows Server 2008.
In this database, we have stored procedure ABC(arg1) which is accesing a table in another instance through DB LINK. If we EXECUTE this procedure from SQL/TOAD. It runs successfully and generates the desired output.
If we write the contents of the stored procedure in the PROGRAM UNIT / ANY TRIGGER in FORM 6i then also, It runs successfully and generates the desired output.
It is also mentioned, that if we try to use any table in the same instance (and not through DBLINK) then it works fine.
However, if we try to call this stored procedure (which is accesing a table in another instance through DB LINK) from ORACLE FORMS 6i in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger then the FORM BUILDER gets hanged while compiling the form developed in FORMS 6i.
Please provide a solution to this problem.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Hemant Singh.
Asstt. Manager(IT)
Software development team.

Forms 6i was never meant to run against a 11g database, this was not tested and is also not supported.Well, that is not completely true. Developer 6i is supported against a 11g database, but only for Oracle Apps R11. That means that for most other customers (not Apps) Forms 6i will work against an 11g database. However, only Apps R11 is supported, and patches are only created specifically for Apps. We are also running Forms 6i against an 11g database without (well, minor) problems.
In this case, you need to find a solution. You can try to put the stored procedure in a package. The package body, with the reference to the remote table, will be hidden from Forms this way.

Want to scan an image from oracle forms -- Is it possible??

A colleague of me did it like this:
* the scanner is connected to a network document server.
* the document server sends(ftp) the image to the oracle XDB
* a form shows the scanned documents(using a view on the ftp directory in XDB using path_view)
* in this form the user can move the scanned document(s) to a (blob field) in a table.
Hope this helps a bit...
