How to email BLOB as file attachment

Hi folks,
Seems I'm not the only one wanting to send emails with db BLOBs as file attachments, so let's see if we can find a solution.
My app currently sends email using UTL_MAIL.SEND.
If the BLOB I want to attach could be converted to RAW, would UTL_MAIL.SEND_ATTACH_RAW work? If so, is there a method of converting BLOB to RAW?
We don't have Collaboration Suite, but surely CS lets you email BLOBs as file attachments, doesn't it? If so, there's a way...
All assistance appreciated
John D

jd,
I did something similar recently using demo_mail package. Do a search in the forum on "demo_mail hum_mail" (no quotes).
Mine was a file on disk but the code has some info on using BLOBs as well.
If you like, email me direct and I'll get you the code ([email protected])

How to email a pdf file (attachment with password) using ABAP?

Hi Colleagues,
I
n abap, how do you email a pdf file that contains password?
(pdf with password, not the whole email).
A custom program is created. Inside this program, it
retrieves the spool number and converts it to a pdf file
(using function module '....abapspool...'). No parameter to put password.
I was able to do the above. The problem is how to put password on
the pdf file.
Once the user receives the email (say from hotmail or outlook) with pdf attachment, clicks on the pdf, it will as ask for an attachment.
sap version 4.7.
Questions:
- how to code in ABAP to include the pdf with password in an email
received from hotmail or outlook?
- any function modules or classes that can do the pdf password?
- do we need to install another technology or add-on application or
???? to do it? If yes, do we code in abap?
- any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.

how to see the ms files attachment in outlook in iphone

I believe JDK6 has the Desktop API which allows you to do this.
Prior to that you can use the Runtime class. Read the HTML page that is displayed when running the example from this posting:

How do I pass a file attachment to the Workflow?

Hy All
How do I pass a file attachment to the Workflow?
The Portal will attach a document to be passed to the Workflow.
The RFC that starts the Workflow uses SWE_EVENT_CREATE function.
Can someone help me?
thank you,
Alexandre.
(Sorry for English ... by google translator)

Hi Clima,
I worked for HRDC in the Natura project.
In first time, ask the Webdynpro developer to pass the content of the file in the SWE_EVENT_CREATE function inside the container table.
Ask him to send it as a table (don't use the xstring format because the container doesn't recognize this format)!
If the file is not in a table format, ask him to transform it using the function module SCMS_XTRING_TO_BINARY
Pass this table through event parameter in the SWO1 object and after pass it inside the workflow container.
Access this link, you can find step by step to implement it:

How to use UTL_SMTP to send email with existing file attachment

Hello! I am trying to create a pl/sql procedure that lets me send an email and include an existing file to a email address. So far, I found information on how to send a file and create an attachment with information I put in the procedure. This is NOT what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to send an email and include an attachment for a file that already exists. I need the pre-existing file to be sent to the email recipient.
This is how far I've gotten, but this only allows me to CREATE an attachment with the information I put in it from the procedure. I got it from the following site:
http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Send_mail_from_PL/SQL

First, you must create a directory object
create directory ORALOAD as '/home/ldcgroup/ldccbc/'
/Study the Prerequisites in the link I posted above, or else you will not be able to read/write files from the above directory object
"fname" relates to the file name that you read from.
In the code below, it is also the name of the file that you are attaching.
Although they can be different!
l_Output is the contents of the file.
declare
vInHandle utl_file.file_type;
flen       number;
bsize      number;
ex         boolean;
l_Output   raw(32767);
fname      varchar2(30) := 'ap_inv_supplier_cc10.txt';
vSender    varchar2(30) := '[email protected]';
vRecip     varchar2(30) := '[email protected]';
vSubj      varchar2(50) := 'Weekly Invoice Report';
vAttach    varchar2(50) := 'ap_inv_supplier_cc10.txt';
vMType     varchar2(30) := 'text/plain; charset=us-ascii';
begin
utl_file.fgetattr('ORALOAD', fname, ex, flen, bsize);
vInHandle := utl_file.fopen('ORALOAD', fname, 'R');
utl_file.get_raw (vInHandle, l_Output);
utl_file.fclose(vInHandle);
utl_mail.send_attach_raw(sender       => vSender
                          ,recipients   => vRecip
                          ,subject      => vsubj
                          ,attachment   => l_Output
                          ,att_inline   => false
                          ,att_filename => fname);

How to send a text file attachment through mail in ECC 6.0

Hi Friends,
As per the requirement, I need to send a ALV report result as text file attachment to user in ECC 6.0 . I know how to do in 4.6C version. But the same code is not working here in ECC 6.0.
Generally to get the data in new row in the text file we use below code in 4.6c.
data: c_value type x value ' 0D '.
concatenate c_value itab-line into itab-line.
By using above code, we get each row of the itab in a new line in text file.
Same code is not working in ECC6.0 as it is not supporting to concatenate bytes with characters. Getting the error like " field c_value should be diclared as type C or I or N or T or P"
Even I have used function module NLS_STRING_CONVERT_TO_SYS to convert hexa to char. It is converting the value' 0D' to ' # '. But it is not working.
Could you please suggest me that how can get each row of itab as a new line in text file in ECC 6.0.
Itab value:
abcdefdfldjfñlkdsjfñldsjfdsñljñla
fdsljfñldskjfldsñkjfñldsjfñldsajñld
vcxusfcxusfcusafcxusafcusafcdsauc
Actual result currently coming in text file:
abcdefdfldjfñlkdsjfñldsjfdsñljñlafdsljfñldskjfldsñkjfñldsjfñldsajñldvcxusfcxusfcusafcxusafcusafcdsauc
Expected result in text file:
abcdefdfldjfñlkdsjfñldsjfdsñljñla
fdsljfñldskjfldsñkjfñldsjfñldsajñld
vcxusfcxusfcusafcxusafcusafcdsauc
Please do the needful.
Thanks

How to email BLOB as attachment or content of email itself??

Hi all,
I am working with Apex 4.2 and have below issue.
I have a table that accepts BLOB data(pdf and doc files). Now I need to perform the below :
A. Send the pdf / doc as attachment in email after it has been uploaded
OR
B. Send email where its contents are the actual file content ( i.e email content should be doc file content ) that is uploaded will be emailed as email to receivers.
I am not sure if any of the above can be done and if yes, how to do them? Can you guys help me locate any doc or resource where I can follow steps from and achieve the above.
TIA,
Swetha

How do I add a file attachment to an e-mail?

I need to know how to attach a file to an e-mail

Hi,
Firefox and other web browsers are only for displaying web pages, web mails etc. All the content comes from the other end ie. web site, web mail provider. To attach a file you may have to use the tools in the mail page, if the mail service provider has such an option.

How can I print a file Attached as a Comment

Created a .pdf and enabled commenting in Reader. Attached a file as a comment.
How can you get Reader to print the attached file without having to open it separately in it's own application. Would like to print the .pdf and have the attached file as comment print along with it.
Any ideas. Also, is there anyway to insert a blank page using reader?
Dave

Sorry, no to both.

The SO50 settings are in place but still we are not able to receive the Email back in SNC. Any suggestion on what settings we need in SNC to receive and process the CSV file?
thanks,

Hi,
You can use the upload center to process the changed data. Isnt that helpful?
