Help with emailing a URL instead of attachment

Hi all:
I have this question.
We have hundreds of Oracle Reports .rdf's from way back.
We now want to run them in Oracle Reports Server 10g (9.0.4.1).
What we want to do is set destype=FILE when we run rwservlet.
And then when the process/job finishes, email the user a URL link to the output report that is stored in the server. This will avoid having to email large output files through the mail server. I know we can set destype=MAIL but that also sends the output file to the mail server/end-user as an attachment and our output files are large. Emailing a URL link is actually better.
We do not want to modify all our .rdf's/.rep's just to enable this functionality. I was hoping to inject probably a piece of code that the Report Server could run after it finishes running the .rdf and checking that the .rdf ran successfully.
Is this at all possible?
I was referred to OracleAS Wireless Notification found in
www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/pluginxchange/plugins/notification/wireless/index.html.
But I am not a Java developer so I would appreciate any help I could get.
I firmly believe that emailing URL links are better than emailing attachments especially in a corporate environment. It makes more efficient use of email.
I hope Oracle Reports development would consider adding this functionality in the future but right now, I really need help.
thanks in advance,
daniel

  • Can anyone help with email in my old G4 17"  ??

    My G4 17", bought December 2004, is considered an antique by Apple, and no longer supported. (I now mostly use my early 2011 MacBookPro.)
    But the big screen on by G4 is very useful for Sibelius 4, the music program I mostly use (Sibelius 7 in the MacBookPro - but much too fussy for me.)
    Sibelius 4 in the G4 continues to work flawlessly.
    But my email account recently sort of died. It's  POP account (whatever that means). I can no longer receive messages, BUT I can still create and
    send new messages, and of course forward any saved message to myself in the MacBookPro.
    ALSO:  if I have to shut down the G4, it usually reopens with a horizontally divided display, and it usually takes many restarts before it will open
    will a full screen display (seems to reopen correctly more often if left in a cool place overnight.)
    Can anyone help with one or both these issues? I want to keep the G4 going as long as I can.  BTW, I don't use it for browsing anyone, Safari installed,
    because it is now so slow. The MacBookPro handles all that for me.
    Thanks very much, James Johnson in Plattsburgh NY (where it is still cold and wintry, o f--k)

    To RCCHARLES: THANKS !!!!  I did the safe boot start, following the link you provided, then waited, and waited, and waited, and ---
    Well that is interesting. Amoung other things safe boot does:
    -- check and fixes up your file system.  The files system allows you to keep files on your harddrive.
    -- Does all video rendering in software.
    You could have a one time glitch or harddrive is slowly failing.  If you never replaced the harddrive, it is time for a new one.
    You may want to consider getting a new harddrive.  The easiest way is to get an external drive.  No disassembly of the machine is required.
    You need an external Firewire drive to boot a PowerPC Mac computer [ a few G5's will boot from USB ].
    I recommend you do a google search on any external harddrive you are looking at.
    I bought a low cost external drive enclosure. When I started having trouble with it, I did a google search and found a lot of complaints about the drive enclosure. I ended up buying a new drive enclosure. On my second go around, I decided to buy a drive enclosure with a good history of working with Macs. The chip set seems to be the key ingredient. The Oxford line of chips seems to be good. I got the Oxford 911.
    I'd give OWC a call. 1-815-338-8685.
    FireWire 800 + USB 3, + eSATA
    save a little money interface:
    FireWire 400 + USB 2.0
    This web page lists both external harddrive types. You may need to scroll to the right to see both.

         (1) USB 3.0 Port (Up to 500MB/s / 60MB/s)
         (1) eSATA Port (Up to 300MB/s)
    Has a combo firewire 800/400 port.  Not sure what this is.  Looks like you will  need 400 cable.

  • Please help with email and synching

    Hoping someone could help with my email!! I have my show filed messages to off. So, when I go in the hub and click my one email account, it shows all my filed emails, such as a folder named old mail. Now, I can fix this by clicking on the dropdown and click inbox, then it shows just my inbox and no filed messages. But if I get a text or FB and enter that in the hub, then click back in the email account it then shows all my filed messages. I just want to see my inbox and that is it! Why is this not working right? I'm on 10.1 and using Microsoft Exchange. I have my old mail being synced, but I don't want to see my old mail. It's literally thousands of emails.  If I unsych old mail then it is fine...but if I want to file something to the old mail file, then the whole thing sychs again and shows all my filed messages.
    I don't know why this is becoming so difficult, but I just can't continue with my email folder showing all of these folders I don't want to see. The email is hard enough without seeing a line of the body of the email and only the subject....this is making it even more crazy for me. I really want to stick it out....but not sure if I can...and I want to. Is this a bug or just the new way BB handles email.  Assuming its a bug being I have filed messages not to be seen.

    Finally, this plug-in is ready for beta testing on www.amazoncanvas.com
    Thank you all who have participated in this program.

  • New user needs help with Email account questions

    Good day - I have been a 10-year user of Blackberrys (Curve, Bold, and earlier models). Just received a new Q10 for work. Enterprise Outlook synched up and I am getting all emails, calendar, and contact information as in the past. All good with this. Here are my questions I cannot find answers to anywhere:
    1) How can I insert a "signature" with emails I compose from Q10?
    2) How can I delete all emails on Q10, rather than one at a time?
    3) How do I set the Q10 to only delete from phone and not network. In other words I only want to delete emails from the Q10 device and not my PC.
    Appreciate any help. Thank you,
    Chris

    #3 is even easier
    Go to Hub settings, then display and actions and drag down, you'll see the option 'delete'.
    Regards.
    Blackberry! Here, now, forever!

  • Help with email attachment

    I am trying to open an email attachment in adobe reader but it won't let me. It has a padlock on it.

    When you say "It won't let me", what exactly do you mean? What exact steps are you taking, starting with the email application, and at what point do you get to the "it won't let me" condition?

    I would suggest compressing (aka archiving) the file -- select it in the Finder, then under the File menu choose "Compress" (Leopard) or "Archive" (Tiger).

  • Need help with unblocking a url in firefox

    I blocked an image in photobucket storing site and found that instead of one particular image I had block the url http://s208.photobucket.com/home/Gibelgirl/index while in Firefox and while images are in there I can not see them. This only happens in F irefox as in other browser there is no problem. Photobucket has informed me that I have blocked the site with the FireFox browseer. Can you tell me how to unblock please as I need these images. Thanks JanUK

    If that didn't help then:
    *Open the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Help with email script

    I am trying to create a script that will automatically send an email with information contained in a text file and the name of the text file changes daily based on the date. Currently the script is just sending the attachment and I couldn't figure out how
    to use a wildcard to change the name of the file daily. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
    Dim ToAddress
    Dim FromAddress
    Dim MessageSubject
    Dim MyTime
    Dim MessageBody
    Dim MessageAttachment
    Dim ol, ns, newMail
    MyTime = Now
    ToAddress = "email@email"
    MessageSubject = "Subject line"
    MessageBody = "See attachment" 
    MessageAttachment = "I:\Check 21 Report_*.txt"
    Set ol = WScript.CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set ns = ol.getNamespace("MAPI")
    Set newMail = ol.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    newMail.Subject = MessageSubject
    newMail.Body = MessageBody & vbCrLf & MyTime
    newMail.RecipIents.Add(ToAddress)
    newMail.Attachments.Add(MessageAttachment)
    newMail.Send

    There are (almost) no wildcards in VBScript. You need to obtain the file name yourself, using code like this:
    sFolder = "I:\"
    Set oFSO = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.Filesystemobject")
    Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(sFolder)
    For Each oFile In oFolder.Files
        WScript.Echo oFile.Path
    Next
    Have a look at script56.chm (downloadable from the Microsoft site) and at the script repository in order to find out more about the file system object.

  • Help with email content type HTML

    Hi,
    Following is my control file code for sending the email message (just putting the delivery part, and not the while content from control file):
    <xapi:delivery>
    <xapi:email server="${DCRD_SMTP_HOST}" port="${DCRD_SMTP_PORT}"
    from="${CP_DCRD_ADMIN_EMAIL}"
         reply-to="${CP_DCRD_ADMIN_EMAIL}">
    <!-- Set the id for the delivery method -->
    <xapi:message id="123" to="${CF_DCRD_CONTACT_EMAIL}" cc="${CP_DCRD_ADMIN_EMAIL}" bcc="[email protected], [email protected]" attachment="true" content-type="html"
    subject="Datacard Maintenance Agreement Number ${CONTRACT_NUMBER} ">${CF_FINAL_EMAIL_CONTENT}
    </xapi:message>
    </xapi:email>
    </xapi:delivery>
    The formula column CF_FINAL_EMAIL_CONTENT get populated with some html content based on condition. Now, when I get the email, the text from the formula column get printed as is.......with tags and all. It's like I had unformatted plain text email. I need the content to be formatted and I need different content based on a condition. Has anyone done this before?
    Appreciate any help on this.
    Thanks,
    Alka

    I finally could fix the issue by still using a formula column to store the html text and using the following in my control file (in bold):
    <xapi:message id="123" to="${CF_DCRD_CONTACT_EMAIL}" cc="${CP_DCRD_ADMIN_EMAIL}" bcc="[email protected], [email protected]" attachment="true" content-type="text/html"
    subject="Datacard Maintenance Agreement Number ${CONTRACT_NUMBER} "> *<content><![CDATA[${CF_FINAL_EMAIL_CONTENT}]]></content>*
    </xapi:message>
    Hope this would help someone clueless like me :-)

  • Need help with home page url?

    So what I'm having problems with is getting my homepage url to say http://www.santoroman.com instead it is saying http://www.santoroman.com/site/home.html
    I have read through a bunch of the threads and done some trial and error but nothing seems to come through correct. My host is 1and1 and I use fetch to load everything up. Help me fellow mac nerds! I'd really like to get this solved within a few day.
    I just want people to be able to type in www.santoroman.com instead of all the other crap as well.
    Thanks

    So I have the new folder published on my desktop named "site" and I see the other fold that says "index.html" with the safari logo in the middle. Just drag and drop the 2 into fetch and publish?
    Yes. index.html is not a folder of course, it is a file.
    Should I name the other folder as: www.santoroman.com or can I leave it as site?
    You must leave it as site.

  • Help with email settings..please

    Hi, first i would like to apologise if this question is really lame! but here goes. I just bought the 8120 and followed the setup wizard. When it came to the email set up i pressed blackberry enterprise server option. Now i have mostly figured this phone/ blackberry out but i cant access or send emails. I assume its something to do with this email set up. Now firstly how do i get this activation password i need and is this the reason for my problems? Secondly should i have gone with the first option and if so how do i get back to it? Thanks in advance, Ann.

    As you said you just bought BlackBerry I assume that you've subscriberd for BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) which provides integration of 10 POP/IMAP mail. In such case look for the icon Email Setting on your application screen instead of Setup Wizerd. Setup Wizerd requires you to have BES server and integration of mail from your corporate domain.
    Accessing email setting icon will lead you to step by step of personal mail integration.

  • Help with email suppot on n96 needed please.

    hi, im hoping some one can help me with my problem, i downloaded the email update for n96, it's the 1st time ive used it, (the one with the pink @ logo.) i go through the email setup and ad my main account with another one. it worked for a while until both accounts got an email from nokia mail saying that its not working and gave me a list of reason.
    Dear Nokia Messaging customer,
    Recently, our email service has been unable to connect to your email service provider, preventing email delivery to your phone.
    This may occur due to one of the following reasons:
    1. Through your service provider, you have changed the email password of your email address. If so, you must update your Nokia Messaging service account with your new password. Email messages will then be delivered to your phone.
    2. The server for your email address is down. For more information, contact your service provider.
    3. You might have inadvertently changed a setting in your Nokia Messaging service account. Log in to your Nokia Messaging account on the website http://netac2.vie.hosting.nokia.com/account to determine whether your information needs to be updated.
    Sincerely,
    The Nokia Messaging Team
    now, i never changed any settings, or password information, and hotmail is saying theres is nothing wrong.
    can some one please help me?!?! thank you.

    please try and help some 1! This is really bugging me.

  • Help with email buttons, and uploading from a webpage you created

    Would anyone know how to create a 'contact us' page for a website, so people can send you their contact info and files?
    The GoLive book says your provider does this, but my large hosting provider said you do it in GoLive.
    Most sites have a 'contact us' page, where you can fill in your name and address, and send a PDF or file, just by clicking a 'send' button.
    If someone could help me with this, I'd appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    If your provided provided PHP scripting you can use NateMail from MindPalette (NateMail 3.0.15), and it's free. It's a forms fill-in email contact that can be built in GoLive. I've used it with great success on my site.
    Here is a link to my page:
