How to send concurrent program output file as an attachment in the notification mail

Hi All,
We are on Oracle apps version - 11.5.10.2
We have a requirement wherein we need to send the concurrent program output file as an attachment while sending the notification mail to the user.
Currently we have tried the approach wherein we are specifying the user id in the OPTIONS tab (Notifying the following people) while submitting the concurrent program.
But using this approach, the user gets only the URL of the output file in the notification mail and not the output file as an attachment.
Kindly let us know if anyone has incorporated the logic to send the output file as attachment in the notification mail.
Please Note - We do not want any custom code to be written to send the attachment.
Any pointers to this will be helpful.
Regards,
Shruti

How to convert concurrent program out files .out file to .txt files in

Hi
Trying to know if there is a way to convert the concurrent programs' output files witn '.out' extension to files with extension '.txt'
thanks
kp

Why you want to change the file extension to txt instead of out?
I believe you cannot do and you are not supposed to change it. Controlling the report output to different types can be done as explained in these docs.

How to send background program output to a printer

Hi !
I created a background report,running via a job in background. I need to display the output of the background report via two channels : a printer and an e
mail. I created the output of the report by using the command Write, and the output is printed to screen. However this solution is good for an online report and not for background report ? and my question is how to send the background report output to a printer in background .
Thanks
Moshe

Hi,
If you are using JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT & JOB_CLOSE to execute the program in background, then in the FM JOB_SUBMIT you have a parameter PRIPARAMS for which you need to pass a value.
Before that get all the Print Parameters using FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS. Then pass the same to PRIPARAMS.
This would solve the problem.

Sending concurrent program output as an Email to a distribution list

Hi Oracle Gurus,
We have a unique requirement wherein we need to send the output of a Concurrent Program as an attachment with an mail to a Distribution list . Can someone please let me know if there is any provision within Apps to accomplish the same.
Regards
Kiran

Hi ,
COncurrent prorams is for Reports ?
if so try with solution.
write a unix script. or this purpose.
Something in the order of this should work. You get the idea.
1. Define printer styles
2. Define a printer driver to call script in the arguments field:
$ZZ_TOP/bin/email.sh $PROFILES$.FILENAME
$PROFILES$.USERNAME $PROFILES$.TITLE
3. Assign printer to the print styles and the driver
4. Register the e-mail printer
5. Default your report use the e-mail printer
# Example script email.sh
#!/bin/ksh
[email protected]
mailx -s "$3" $email_addr $1
exit 0
$1 is $PROFILE$.FILENAME
$2 is $PROFILES$.USERNAME
$3 is $PROFILES$.TITLE
try with this u will get some idea.
just let me know after you done it.

How to find Concurrent Request output file Document ID if exists

Hi,
My Concurrent Request when runs, it produces an output file.
This output file is located on the server.
Could any one let me know from which tables i could get the document id and the node id of the node where this document resides if it does in the Oracle Document Management System.
I want to do is use this in the workflows to set the attribute value using procedure
SetItemAttributeDocument
Thanks in advance,
P

On the Concurrent Requests table (FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS), the OUTFILE_NODE_NAME and OUTFILE_NAME indicate where the output file is stored. As far as I know, this is only on the server running the concurrent manager and not in the Oracle Document Manager System.
What are you trying to do with your output? If you are simply trying to provide access to it, you might be able to construct a URL similar to the standard concurrent request completed notification (basic email which provides a link to the output of the completed request).

There are two ways to look at what error the PLSQLBLOB API is throwing.
1) Call your PLSQLBLOB API GNE_PO_CREATE_FILE_ATTACHMENT.Gne_Create_File_Attachment directly from a PLSQL block and verify that it returns the BLOB data successfully.
You could also call another WF API that in turn executes the PLSQLBLOB API internally. For example,
<pre>
declare
l_document blob;
l_doctype varchar2(240);
l_aname varchar2(90);
begin
dbms_lob.CreateTemporary(l_document, true, dbms_lob.Session);
-- 207046 - This is the notification id of your failed workflow
-- PO_REPORT - Document type attribute
-- 'text/html' - Content Type being generated for
Wf_Notification.GetAttrBLOB(207046, 'PO_REPORT', 'text/html', l_document, l_doctype, l_aname);
-- Print the size of the document here to verify it was fetched correctly
end;
</pre>
2) Turn on log for SYSADMIN user with following attributes.
Log Enabled = TRUE
Log Level = ERROR
Log Module = wf.plsql%
Restart the Workflow Deferred Agent Listener and Workflow Notification Deferred Agent Listener and run your workflow process. Search for log messages written for above context and you can identify the error at wf.plsql.WF_XML.GetAttachment module with message starting as "Error when getting BLOB attachment ->"
Hope this helps.

Current Concurrent Program Output permissions

Hi,
I am working on Oracle Applications 11.5.10
Is it possible to send the concurrent program output of the current running program as a mail ? Or does the output file become available for reading once the whole program completes ?
I am writing the errors encountered during the current program into the output file for the current program. At the end of the program, I am calling a shell script to send the output file in mail. However I am getting an error message saying file not found or no permission on file. So wanted to know if I am doing the right thing. Or should I call the mail notification only once the whole program completes.
I tried to search the forum, but no where its mentioned if anyone is trying to access output file of currently running program. It will be great if someone can share their knowledge.
Thanks,
Sou

BI Publisher Charts not getting displayed in concurrent program output

Hi,
I am using BI Publisher version 11.1.1.3.0 on Windows 7 with word 2007. After creating the Bar chart in RTF template of BI publisher when I load sample XML data and check it in "Preview" is displays the output correctly.
My requirement is to print the charts in concurrent program's output on EBS version 12.1.1. (preferably HTML but PDF will also do) However when I run the concurrent program which processes the data definition and the RTF template registered for this report, the output is just an image of the chart. The XML output generated by the program is not reflected in the chart display at all. (I have verified that XML is generated properly)
Can someone please let me know if there is some setup required to make the charts display properly in concurrent program output?
I have also tried BI publisher version 10.1.3.2.1 for this. With this the concurrent program output is just blank. Not even an image is displayed.
p.s. The program uses standard executable XDODTEXE (which is normally used to run BI publisher reports)
Thanks,
Archana

Hi,
I have finally found solution to this issue....
Two setups are required to display the charts in the concurrent program's PDF output:
1. We need to edit the variables CLASSPATH and AF_CLASSPATH. These variables should have the complete path added for the xdoparser.zip file on the server.
2. The DISPLAY variable should be correctly setup to direct the server output.
Also as per my findings so far, the BI (XML) publisher version 11.1.1.3.0 (or any 11g) does not work with EBS (at least for charts). We need to use BI publisher version which is XML 5.6.3 compatible for EBS. This version is 10.1.3.2.1. (patch 12395372) Now this 10g version does not work on Windows 7 so you need to use Windows XP!
With this... finally... your charts should be getting displayed in EBS output...
Cheers!! :-)

Concurrent request output files removed - now concurrent requests failing

Hi.
I recently removed all *.out files from the concurrent request out directory that were older than 5 days.
I didnt think these were needed, only recorded output from earlier concurrent requests. But now we have a request complaining that
The Applications File Server could not open the file /apps/prod/prodcomn/admin/out/PROD/o16499119.out for read.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Oracle 10.2.0.4
EBS 11.5.0.2
DA

Dan,
It is expected to get this error as the concurrent request output file is missing. The only way to fix this error is to restore the out files from a recent backup you have taken. Or, ask the user to submit the same concurrent program again and a new out file will be created then.
Thanks,
Hussein
