Fastest way to send e-mail

hi,
the application i'm working on requires sending mail at random times in the minimum amount of time possible. i used the java-mail api but am not satisfied with the performance. would it be faster if i code the smtp dialog using tcp sockets? even thought of using c..(OS: Linux)
all suggestions are welcome..
thank you very much..

If the amount of data is small enough to send as an SMS message, that would be faster than email, received immediately, and less subject to poor data connections on the receiving end. Else, push email would be best (user would need an appropriate email account, MS Exchange, Yahoo, Gmail, with Push enabled).

Better way of Sending E-Mail Notifications -- Workflow or Function Module ?

Hi All,
I have an implicit enhancement written in a t-code and based on some conditions I am creating event which inturn will trigger the workflow which inturn send e-mail notification via send mail step.
My question is:
Which one of the ways is better in terms of performance or overhead to send an e-mail notification. (There are no Approval processes in the workflow.. Just One Step E-mail Notification).
1) In the Implicit Enhancement, Trigger an event which inturn will trigger the workflow and e-mail is sent via send mail step.
2) In the Implicit Enhancement, Send the e-mail notification via standard function modules available... such as
"SO_OBJECT_SEND", "SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1".........
Would be grateful if someone can post the Advantages and Disadvantages in the above 2 ways of sending e-mail notifications..
Regards,
PR.

Just to throw in some additional factors, consider exception handling:
An event-based send mail step is decoupled and thus independent of your application. This means your exception handling is separate. It means you do not need to hold up the transaction if there is a failure. All this depends on how important the mail is. You could of course add validation code to ensure the mail address is valid and send it elsewhere if not.
Regarding performance, consider how often this happens. If it's an infrequent occurrence then I wouldn't worry about performance. Hundreds or thousands a day is a different story.
So the answer is:
Workflow for low-volume scenarios (low performance impact) that are important (better error handling in WF),
Direct mail for high volume and noncritical
In between these, use whatever you like
One more thing to perhaps consider the future. What are the chances of the mail being replaced by a work item in furture? Sometimes it's only by observing a process after go live that you can identify the best solution. e.g. you may decide to replace the mail with a "Please go fix this" work item because you need deadline monitoring

What is the best way to send auto mail with excel(generated by query) attachment?

Hello,
Need to generate first data from stored procedure and the save it to an excel file and then send mail with the same excel file.
So am searching for the best way so that i could do all process in a single task with daily or monthly schedule.
As per my understanding, we could it via SSIS and by sql server using
sp_send_dbmail.
But i have to generate excel file first by stored procedure and then end it by mail.
So please suggest the best way to accomplish all task in a single task.
Thanks
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
As shown in the blog mentioned by Syed, to delete records from the Excel file, you need to use Update OpenRowset command to update the corresponding rows to blank.
Alternatively, you can also use Derived Column Transformation or Conditional Split Transformation after the OLE DB Source so that you can replace the target rows with NULL before exporting to Excel destination or just redirect the expected records to the
Excel destination.
Then, in the Control Flow, you can add a Send Mail Task to send the Excel file by setting it as the attachment. The following screenshot is for your reference:

How to send a mail thru Oracle

Hello Every one ,
Can u plz tell me the way to send a mail thru oracle...................

Follow the below steps..........
INTRODUCTION:
This bulletin explains how to programmatically send a fax/email message from a
Forms/Reports application via Microsoft Exchange without any kind of user
interaction. It shows the general usage of the 'Mail' package as well as a fully
coded Forms sample application.
The concept of OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation is used to control
the OLE server application (Microsoft Exchange) using the client application.
The client in this case may be a Developer/2000 Forms or Reports application. It
uses the objects and methods exposed by the OLE Messaging Library which are
much more robust than the MSMAPI OCX controls and allow access to many more MAPI
properties.
Oracle provides support for OLE automation in its applications by means of the
OLE2 built-in package. This package contains object types and built-ins for
creating and manipulating the OLE objects. Some of these built-ins for e.g.
OLE2.create_obj, OLE2.invoke, OLE2.set_property have been extensively used in
the code.
GENERAL USAGE:
The Mail package contains three procedures:
1. Procedure Mail_pkg.logon( profile IN varchar2 default NULL);
Use this procedure to logon to the MS Exchange mail client. The procedure
takes a character argument which specifies the Exchange Profile to use for
logon. Passing a NULL argument to the logon procedure brings up a dialog box
which asks you to choose a profile from a list of valid profiles or create a new
one if it doesn't exist.
2. Procedure Mail_pkg.send(
--------- Recipient IN varchar2,
Subject IN varchar2 default NULL,
Text IN varchar2 default NULL,
Attachment IN varchar2 default NULL
This is the procedure that actually sends the message and attachments, if
any, to the recipient. The recipient may be specified directly as a valid email
address or as an alias defined in the address book. If the message is intended
for a fax recipient then a valid alias must be used that is defined as a fax
address in the address book.
3. Procedure Mail_pkg.logoff;
This procedure closes the Exchange session and deallocates the resources used
by the OLE automation objects.
SAMPLE FORMS APPLICATION:
1. Create the Mail Package using the following two Program Units:
(a) Mail Package Spec
(b) Mail Package Body
Mail Package Spec:
PACKAGE Mail_pkg IS
session OLE2.OBJ_TYPE; /* OLE object handle */
args OLE2.LIST_TYPE; /* handle to OLE argument list */
procedure logon( Profile IN varchar2 default NULL );
procedure logoff;
procedure send( Recp IN varchar2,
Subject IN varchar2,
Text IN varchar2,
Attch IN varchar2
END;
Mail Package Body:
PACKAGE BODY Mail_pkg IS
session_outbox OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
session_outbox_messages OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
message1 OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
msg_recp OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
recipient OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
msg_attch OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
attachment OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
procedure logon( Profile IN varchar2 default NULL )is
Begin
session := ole2.create_obj('mapi.session');
/* create the session object */
args := ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.add_arg(args,Profile);/* Specify a valid profile name */
ole2.invoke(session,'Logon',args);
/* to avoid the logon dialog box */
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
End;
procedure logoff is
Begin
ole2.invoke(session,'Logoff');
/* Logoff the session and deallocate the */
/* resources for all the OLE objects */
ole2.release_obj(session);
ole2.release_obj(session_outbox);
ole2.release_obj(session_outbox_messages);
ole2.release_obj(message1);
ole2.release_obj(msg_recp);
ole2.release_obj(recipient);
ole2.release_obj(msg_attch);
ole2.release_obj(attachment);
End;
procedure send( Recp IN varchar2,
Subject IN varchar2,
Text IN varchar2,
Attch IN varchar2
)is
Begin
/* Add a new object message1 to the outbox */
session_outbox := ole2.get_obj_property(session,'outbox');
session_outbox_messages := ole2.get_obj_property(session_outbox,'messages');
message1 := ole2.invoke_obj(session_outbox_messages,'Add');
ole2.set_property(message1,'subject',Subject);
ole2.set_property(message1,'text',Text);
/* Add a recipient object to the message1.Recipients collection */
msg_recp := ole2.get_obj_property(message1,'Recipients');
recipient := ole2.invoke_obj(msg_recp,'add') ;
ole2.set_property(recipient,'name',Recp);
ole2.set_property(recipient,'type',1);
ole2.invoke(recipient,'resolve');
/* Add an attachment object to the message1.Attachments collection */
msg_attch := ole2.get_obj_property(message1,'Attachments');
attachment := ole2.invoke_obj(msg_attch,'add') ;
ole2.set_property(attachment,'name',Attch);
ole2.set_property(attachment,'position',0);
ole2.set_property(attachment,'type',1); /* 1 => MAPI File Data */
ole2.set_property(attachment,'source',Attch);
/* Read the attachment from the file */
args := ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.add_arg(args,Attch);
ole2.invoke(attachment,'ReadFromFile',args);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
args := ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.add_arg(args,1); /* 1 => save copy */
ole2.add_arg(args,0); /* 0 => no dialog */
/* Send the message without any dialog box, saving a copy in the Outbox */
ole2.invoke(message1,'Send',args);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
message('Message successfully sent');
End;
END;

Sending e-mail through oracle form.

Hi Guys,
I am using forms6i to develop forms and have deploy them on web using 9iAS.
Now in one of my form, i need to send the information on that form to a couple of people through e-mail.
what is the easiest and the best way to send e-mail?
Can i use any built-in package of oracle on web?
If someone can help through code, it will be appriciated as i really have no idea how to do it.
I just want to add a send button on my form... and the formatted inofrmation will be send on a couple of e-mail address.
Please help me,
Imran

You could send it from the database (depending on what version you are running against), check out the UTL_SMTP package. Or look for some package written on top of it since it's no joy to use if you aren't familiar with the low level stuff. Not sure if it handles attachments, something written against the JavaMail API is probably more flexible for that

Sending E-mail Through Oracle Forms

Hi all
what i want is as the following:
1- i would like to convert the report to the PDF file internally using code.
2- open the outlook.
3- attcah the PDF automatically to the e-mail.
4- finally sending the e-mail though outlook
could i do that in Oracle forms 6i if i could do that can anyone instruct me to do it step by step

Oh...it's now called ["My Oracle Support"|https://metalink.oracle.com/] .
There's a note on "My Oracle Support" on this item.
This is the note:
Subject:      OLE AUTOMATION: Example Sending a Mail From Forms to Outlook
     Doc ID:      119828.1      Type:      BULLETIN
     Modified Date :      02-SEP-2008      Status:      PUBLISHED
PURPOSE
This document contains a sample code how to send an e-mail from Forms to Outlook
(97-2000).
SCOPE & APPLICATION
It can be used in addition of the whitepaper "Cracking Outlook!", which explains
the object model of Outlook in detail.
(Have a look in the Technical Libaries Folder Forms Whitepaper, their you can
find it)
OLE: Forms to Outlook
Object Model
"Cracking outlook!" explains the Object Model, you can find additional
information in the Visual Basic Help of Outlook, which must be installed from
your Office CD-Rom. Once installed, you can access the help
by choosing Tools->Macro->Visual Basic Editor and then go to the Help or
Object Browser (view -> Object Browser)
Now you can retrieve the Objects, their Methods and Properties.
Eg: the 'Application' Object has the Method 'CreateItem'.
Note this information is also available in MSDN library or if you require more
information on this Microsoft has to be contacted.
OLE2, CLIENT_OLE2 Package
Once you know the Objects, Methods and Properties you can access them with the
OLE2 package. This package provides a PL/SQL API for creating, manipulating,
and accessing attributes of OLE2 automation objects. When using OLE2 with
WebForms every call will be executed on the midtier and not on the client.
So alternatively, the CLIENT_OLE2 package can be used, that is delivered by
Webutil, to execute the OLE code on the client.
Examples
Once you know the Outlook Object model and you know the functions of the OLE2
or CLIENT_OLE2 package you can write your own OLE2/CLIENT_OLE2 code to send a
mail via Outlook.
Here below are 2 different ways of sending an email using Outlook.
Sample 1:
OLE2 sample: Here a MailItem is created, then the Recepient is explicitely
added and resolved. The mailItem is saved before being sent.
Declare
/*declaration of the Outlook Object Variables*/
application ole2.OBJ_TYPE;
hMailItem ole2.OBJ_TYPE;
hRecipients ole2.OBJ_TYPE;
recipient ole2.OBJ_TYPE;
nameSpace OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
/*declaration of the argument list*/
args OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
begin
/*create the Application Instance*/
application:=ole2.create_obj('Outlook.Application');
/* create namespace and login */
args:=ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.add_arg(args,'MAPI');
nameSpace:=ole2.invoke_obj(application,'getNameSpace',args);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
ole2.invoke(nameSpace,'Logon');
/*create a Mail Instance by calling CreateItem Method and giving argument 0 with
it,
you can find the item types in the explanation of the CreateItem Method
(0=olMailItem,1=olAppointmentItem, ?)*/
args:=ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.add_arg(args,0);
hMailItem:=ole2.invoke_obj(application,'CreateItem',args);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
/*Get the Recipients property of the MailItem object:
Returns a Recipients collection that represents all the Recipients for the
Outlook item*/
args:=ole2.create_arglist;
hRecipients:=ole2.get_obj_property(hMailItem,'Recipients',args);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
/*Use the Add method to create a recipients Instance and add it to the
Recipients collection*/
args:=ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.add_arg(args,'[email protected]');
recipient:=ole2.invoke_obj(hRecipients,'Add',args);
/* put the property Type of the recipient Instance to value needed
(0=Originator,1=To,2=CC,3=BCC)*/
ole2.set_property(recipient,'Type',1);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
/*Resolve the Recipients collection*/
args:=ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.invoke(hRecipients,'ResolveAll',args);
/*set the Subject and Body properties*/
ole2.set_property(hMailItem,'Subject','Test OLE2 to Outlook');
ole2.set_property(hMailItem,'Body','this is body text');
/*Save the mail*/
ole2.invoke(hMailItem,'Save',args);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
/*Send the mail*/
args:=ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.invoke(hMailItem,'Send',args);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
/*Release all your Instances*/
release_obj(hMailItem);
release_obj(recipient);
release_obj(hRecipients);
release_obj(nameSpace);
release_obj(application);
end;
Sample 2
CLIENT_OLE2 sample. Here a MailItem is created with an attachment and directly
sent.
Declare
objOutlook CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
objMail CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
objArg CLIENT_OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
objAttach CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
nameSpace CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
BEGIN
objOutlook := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Outlook.Application');
/* create namespace and login */
args:=client_ole2.create_arglist;
client_ole2.add_arg(args,'MAPI');
nameSpace:=ole2.invoke_obj(objOutlook,'getNameSpace',args);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
client_ole2.invoke(nameSpace,'Logon');
-- Previous example usually used 'mapi.session' but this doesn't work correctly
--anymore.
objarg := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
CLIENT_OLE2.ADD_ARG(objarg,0);
objMail := CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(objOutlook,'CreateItem', objarg);
CLIENT_OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(objarg);
objAttach := CLIENT_OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(objmail, 'Attachments');
objarg := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
CLIENT_OLE2.ADD_ARG(objarg,'c:\temp\test.txt'); -- filename
CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'To','[email protected]');
CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Subject','Email sent from Oracle Forms 9i');
CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Body','This is an email that was sent using
CLIENT_OLE2 from Oracle forms 9i');
CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE(objattach, 'Add', objarg);
CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE(objmail,'Send');
CLIENT_OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(objmail);
CLIENT_OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(nameSpace);
CLIENT_OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(objOutlook);
CLIENT_OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(objarg);
END;
Notes:
These are just 2 different ways of sending a mail by Outlook and using the
Outlook Object Model.
The first example can also be used with CLIENT_OLE2, and the second example can
also be used with OLE2.
(just replace every OLE2 to CLIENT_OLE2 or every CLIENT_OLE2 call to OLE2).

How to automatically send the mail without popping for send

Hi,
I am providing proper values in system parameters of report6. viz.
Desformat=pdf
Destype=mail
mode=bitmap
desname=Valid email id
I am using MS MAPI (Microsoft Outlook)
When I run the report, I get the composed mail with the pdf attachment. When I press the SEND button of the composed mail, I shall be able to send the mail.
Is there a way to SEND the mail automatically through reports?
Regds
Prakash H L

hi ,
Try running your report in batch mode, provide batch=yes on the command line for your report. This will suppress any user interaction and will mail the report without the need for the user to click on the send button of the mail composer.

Send SAP-Mail by external app with SAP Mail-Interface

Hi!
I need to send a SAP Mail from a third party application. I found a way to send a mail without interface using functions like "so_new_document_att_send_api1" or "so_object_send". But what I need is a function which shows a SAPGui with an interface like in SO01 where the user can change the subject or the message and of course I need to initialize some fields like subject and I need to add an attachment (SAP BO -> a document).
Thanks for any answer,
Konrad

Send a mail message at startup?

Is there a way to send a mail message when startup (or ANY user login) occurs? I'm thinking as a traceable security measure for a PowerBook.
... Al

As you can tell, I've never done this...
It's not your fault. I keep telling myself I have to be clearer, but I just ratlle on sometimes...
AlsG4:~ user1$ mailq -bp
postqueue: fatal: Queue report unavailable - mail
system is down
Yes, now everything is under the control of launchd, and the mail system went down when it was unneeded. Enter
sudo launchctl start org.postfix.master
and then mailq, and see if there's anything in the mail queue.
and I don't understand the "cat the input back"?
Maybe too much to ask on this discussion board.
I'm sorry, that's me lapsing into geekspeak. In shell scripting, we sometimes shorten "concatenate" into "cat". What it means is that the symbol "<<" (or ">>" the other way) is used to redirect input into a program. I used the symbol "!" as a delimiter for the input, but you can use any symbol. Just pick something you're not likely to include in the text. So the line
mail -I -s "Test Message" [email protected] <<!
simply means "take everything that follows up to the next "!" as input for the mail program. You won't find that in the mail man page because it's a shell scripting technique.
I'm really sorry I get unclear. I was doing this stuff 25 years ago, and I just get excited when someone asks about it. It's so cool it's still around.

Quickest way to send a small part of video to someone

I'm looking for the fastest way to send a small section of my Motion5 video to someone for approval.
I find the "Share | Export Selection to Movie..."
I click it & it does nothing;absolutely nothing.
To my mind, a selection in this context, is a Play Range. I have one set.
I looked up the manual, it says "Exports the current selection..."
So, in the context of Motion5 (where a selection to export can only mean some limitation of time on the timeline) what exactly is a selection and how do you do it?
Failing this, assuming we're editing in ProRes, it would be nice to know the "fastest possible" encoding option amongst all and any of the options.
I've tried a whole bunch, but I'm usually left sitting around for 15 minutes to encode a 1-minute video (on my iMac i3 3.2Ghz with 12GB RAM)

As far as I know, in Motion 5 “Export Selection to Movie” means selected objects,
not range, time etc...
Select your objects either in the Layers or in the Timeline...
(if nothing is selected “Export Selection to Movie” won’t work)...
Otherwise, use “Export Movie” to export the whole Timeline...
Either shorten the project before exporting...
Or, set In and Out Points... from the Duration drop-down choose In/Out Points...
Or, export to “Apple Devices” with In/Out Points selected..
Or, share as Email... this is fast with a very small file size...

SENDING BULK MAIL in JAVAMAIL

I'm trying to send 5000+ emails per session... Each email is personalized. what would be the best way to send each mail?
performance is somewhat critical...
currently, i create one session, then create Message for each email, stuff the variables, then send them one by one...
how about creating a stack of Message (with individual Sessions) and then send them one by one? is there a limit on how many Messages i can create on a single session?
thanks in advance...
dave..

Creating one session as compared to two is quite a bit faster when dealing with 5000+emails. If you have each invidual session doesn't that mean you have to open close a Transport each time? If the way you have now works, why do you want to change it? As for a limit of how many Messages, there isn't one as long as your mail server doesn't mind you sending that many at one time. Anyone please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
