General OEM Question

Question

Can anyone give me a general idea I have created one simple job where I count the number of rows in a table but now I would like to send the output to my e-mail. Also if anyone has some sample code that can give me an idea on how to creat other jobs like checking to see if the database is up and running and if not e-mail me. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
one chance over the PACKAGE utl_smtp .
* OVERVIEW
* This package provides SMTP client-side access functionality in PL/SQL.
* With this package, a PL/SQL program can send electronic mails via SMTP.
* This package does not allow the PL/SQL program to receive e-mails via
* SMTP. The user of this package should be familiar with the SMTP protocol
* as defined in RFC 821 and RFC 1869.
* This package is meant to provide an API to SMTP protocol directly. Users
* may find it useful to define additional helper routines to encapsulate
* the interaction with a SMTP server.
* USES
* A SMTP connection is initiated by a call to open_connection, which
* returns a SMTP connection. After a connection is established, the
* following calls are required to send a mail:
* helo() - identify the domain of the sender
* mail() - start a mail, specify the sender
* rcpt() - specify the recipient
* open_data() - start the mail body
* write_data() - write the mail body (multiple calls allowed)
* close_data() - close the mail body and send the mail
* The SMTP connection is closed by calling quit().
* A note on API style and raising PL/SQL exception:
* Most of the API has a function form and a procedure form. The function
* form returns the reply message after the command is sent, in the form
* of "XXX <an optional reply message>", where XXX is the reply code.
* The procedure form of the same API calls the function form of the API,
* checks the reply code and raises transient_error or permanent_error
* exception if the reply code is in 400 or 500 range. The function form
* of the API does not raise either of the 2 exceptions.
* All API may raise invalid_operation exception if it is called in either
* of the situations:
* 1. calling API other than write_data(), write_raw_data() or close_data()
* after open_data(0 is called, or
* 2. calling write_data(), write_raw_data() or close_data() without
* first calling open_data()
* EXAMPLES
* Retrieve the home page from http://www.acme.com/
* 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
* c := utl_smtp.open_connection('smtp-server.acme.com');
* utl_smtp.helo(c, 'foo.com');
* utl_smtp.mail(c, '[email protected]');
* utl_smtp.rcpt(c, '[email protected]');
* utl_smtp.open_data(c);
* send_header('From', '"Sender" <[email protected]>');
* send_header('To', '"Recipient" <[email protected]>');
* send_header('Subject', 'Hello');
* utl_smtp.write_data(c, utl_tcp.CRLF || 'Hello, world!');
* utl_smtp.close_data(c);
* utl_smtp.quit(c);
* EXCEPTION
* WHEN utl_smtp.transient_error OR utl_smtp.permanent_error THEN
* utl_smtp.quit(c);
* raise_application_error(-20000,
* 'Failed to send mail due to the following error: ' || sqlerrm);
* END;
* SMTP connection type
TYPE connection IS RECORD (
host VARCHAR2(255), -- Host name of SMTP server
port PLS_INTEGER, -- Port number of SMTP server
tx_timeout PLS_INTEGER, -- Transfer time-out (in seconds)
private_tcp_con utl_tcp.connection, -- For internal use only
private_state PLS_INTEGER -- For internal use only
* SMTP reply structure
