Notify via email upon concurrent request failure

Question

Hi,
I would like suggestions on the best way to solve the problem of being able to notify user(s) via email upon the failure of a concurrent request. Apps has the built-in ability to notify upon completion, not just upon failure. I want to limit the need for any user/passwd info being exchanged.
So far, my best bet I think is a dbms_job.
Any suggestions other than writing a shell script to login to the database and check on fnd_concurrent_requests?
Seems like this would be a good feature to add for Apps.

All you need is to create a trigger as below
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER sgldba.sgl_concurrent_request_status
after insert or update on apps.fnd_concurrent_requests
for each row
WHEN (new.status_code in ('E','G','T'))
begin
insert into sgldba.sgl_concurrent_request_track values (
:new.request_id,
:new.status_code,
:new.actual_start_date,
:new.actual_completion_date);
end sgl_concurrent_request_status;
I am having the trigger to update a table sgldba.sgl_concurrent_request_track with the request_id , status_code , actual start date , actual completion date .
You can proceed further by adding addition information to the trigger like sending mail
