Subject in utl_smtp

Hi
we use utl_smtp to send html emails with special characters as 'ěřšý' and it works fine. can me anybody tell if it is possible to use this characters in the email subject?
we use
utl_smtp.write_data(c, 'MIME-version: 1.0' || utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.write_data(c, 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1250;' ||utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.write_raw_data(c, utl_raw.cast_to_raw('Subject: '|| 'Další pokus řekněme.'));
-- utl_smtp.write_data(c, 'Subject: '|| 'Další pokus řekněme.', 'MIME=("EE8MSWIN1250"' );
-- utl_smtp.write_raw_data(c, utl_raw.cast_to_raw(CONVERT('Subject: '|| 'Další pokus řekněme.' ,'EE8MSWIN1250')));
can somebody help me to solve it?
thanks

Hello Jura,
the Subject always has to be encoded. Have a look at UTL_ENCODE.MIMEHEADER_ENCODE
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/u_encode.htm#i999461
To find out about this it also might be helpful to view the raw text of a mail sent from your personal mail client (Most clients can, but I think Outlook cannot). The subject line should look similar to
Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Fahrplan=E4nderungen_KBS_930_(M=FCnchen_-_Landshut_-_Regen?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?sburg)?=For a german subject line "Fahrplanänderungen KBS 930 München - Landshut - Regensburg"

Sending a mail from oracle database

Hi,
I have a requirement to send a mail from oracle database.I use UTL_TCP package for this.Although my procedure is executed successfully,i dont get the mails in my inbox.Please help me to figure out a solution.
Thanks in advance....

Hi, you must use UTL_SMTP package for send emails, it has more performance and features for debug. You must look the next code, this is a example for send emails.
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
BEGIN
UTL_SMTP.QUIT(c);
EXCEPTION
WHEN UTL_SMTP.TRANSIENT_ERROR OR UTL_SMTP.PERMANENT_ERROR THEN
NULL; -- When the SMTP server is down or unavailable, we don't have
-- a connection to the server. The QUIT call will raise an
-- exception that we can ignore.
END;
raise_application_error(-20000,
'Failed to send mail due to the following error: ' || sqlerrm);
END;
Also review the next link for get more information about the UTL_SMTP packege.

Problems setting up ACL in 11g

Hello,
we recently updated from 10g to 11g. In our db we have a job, which calls a procedure, which checks if all mails from our application have been sent probably, if not it sends out a mail via a different mail server to admins, so they can check what the issue was.
This worked fine in 10g. In 11g I've learned I need to set up the ACL to be able to connect to the mail Server. This is what I've done:
Since the job, mentioned above is running for user sys i set up the ACL for the user sys.
begin
if dbms_db_version.ver_le_10_2 then
    null;
else
    begin
      dbms_network_acl_admin.drop_acl(
        acl =>         'apex-network.xml'
    exception
      when others then null;
    end;
    dbms_network_acl_admin.create_acl(
      acl =>         'apex-network.xml',
      description => 'Network-Connects for system check',
      principal =>   'SYS',
      is_grant =>    true,
      privilege =>   'connect'
    DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(
      acl =>         'apex-network.xml',
      principal =>   'SYS',
      is_grant =>   true,
      privilege =>   'resolve'
    dbms_network_acl_admin.assign_acl(
      acl =>         'apex-lcmcc-network.xml',
      host =>        '123.456.78.99'
end if;
end;
show error
commit;
The statement completed successfully. And i checked if the access is granted with the following statement:
SELECT
FROM
user_network_acl_privileges,
TABLE(DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_UTILITY.DOMAINS('123.456.78.99'))
ORDER BY
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_UTILITY.DOMAIN_LEVEL(column_value) desc,
lower_port,
upper_port;
I see now for the configured host and all subdomains user sys has the privillege resolve and connect granted.
When i run the procedure, which should sent the mails i still get the error ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL).
Here is the relevant code from the procedure:
BEGIN
          c := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION('123.456.78.99');
          UTL_SMTP.HELO(c, 'xxx.de');

          UTL_SMTP.RCPT(c, p_rcpt);
          UTL_SMTP.OPEN_DATA(c);
          send_header('From',    p_from);
          send_header('To',      p_rcpt);
          send_header('Subject', p_subject);
          UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, UTL_TCP.CRLF||p_message );
          UTL_SMTP.CLOSE_DATA(c);
          UTL_SMTP.QUIT(c);

          WHEN utl_smtp.transient_error OR utl_smtp.permanent_error THEN
            BEGIN

Please forgive me if i miss out important information you need to assist me in this endavor, i will try to deliver them shortly.
Any sugesstions are much apreciated.
Thanks in advance.

General OEM 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

UTL_SMTP.OPEN_DATA(c);
send_header('From',    '"Sender" <[email protected]>');

When ever employee position changed, an alert should send an email

we have one requirement...
when ever any employee position changed, it should send an email ..how to do this one? any idea?
employee positions are recorded in PER_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS_F table, so if we create event alert on this table ( update ). event alert fires if there is any update to the table...but i want, only alert should send mail, when position column got updated in that table...
is it possible????

Oracle provides standard API’s to harness the databases SMTP server capabilities in sending emails. All email services are wrapped under package: UTL_SMTP. The protocol consists of a set of commands for an email client to dispatch emails to a SMTP server. The UTL_SMTP package provides interfaces to the SMTP commands. For many of the commands, the package provides both a procedural and a functional interface. The functional form returns the reply from the server for processing by the client. The procedural form checks the reply and will raise an exception if the reply indicates a transient (400-range reply code) or permanent error (500-range reply code). Otherwise, it discards the reply.
c := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION('<server>.unix.us.ups.com');
UTL_SMTP.HELO(c, '<server>.unix.us.ups.com');
UTL_SMTP.MAIL(c, l_recepient);
UTL_SMTP.RCPT(c, l_recepient);
UTL_SMTP.OPEN_DATA(c);
send_header('From', p_from);
send_header('To', l_recepient);
send_header('Subject', p_subject);
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, UTL_TCP.CRLF || p_message);
UTL_SMTP.CLOSE_DATA(c);
UTL_SMTP.QUIT(c);

Hi APC,
Yep HELO returns 250. Here is the code i use followed by the output. I use valid e-mail addresses(changed them here cz they belong to real ppl :) ). Again, i am able to send mails via java mailing API's, to the same recipietn from same sender via same smtp server.
Code :------
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE mail

Installing utl packages

how i can install utl packages in oracle 8i.
eg. i want to use utl.smtp package for sending mails from my forms, but it gives me an error saying that dentifier 'UTL_SMTP.CONNECTION' must be declared
can u please help me.
uday

Hi,
You have to compile the package ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/utlsmtp.sql as sys.
Here is an example on how call/use package utl_smtp:
DECLARE
     smtp_out utl_smtp.connection ;
     PROCEDURE send_header(name IN VARCHAR2, header IN VARCHAR2) AS
     BEGIN
          utl_smtp.write_data(smtp_out, name || ': ' || header || utl_tcp.CRLF);
     END ;
     BEGIN
          smtp_out := utl_smtp.open_connection('smtp.swipnet.se');
          utl_smtp.helo(smtp_out, 'sune.se');
          utl_smtp.mail(smtp_out, '[email protected]');
          utl_smtp.rcpt(smtp_out, '[email protected]');
          utl_smtp.open_data(smtp_out);
          send_header('From', '"Sender" <[email protected]>');
          send_header('To', '"Recipient" <[email protected]>');
          send_header('Subject', 'Test');
          utl_smtp.write_data(smtp_out, utl_tcp.CRLF || 'Hello world!');
          utl_smtp.close_data(smtp_out);
          utl_smtp.quit(smtp_out);
     EXCEPTION
          WHEN utl_smtp.transient_error OR utl_smtp.permanent_error THEN
               utl_smtp.quit(smtp_out);

Hello,
Here is sample code for sending mail using PL/SQL.
This PL/sql Procedure sends mails using SMTP server.

PROCEDURE send_header(name IN VARCHAR2, header IN VARCHAR2)
AS
BEGIN
-- Generates header data required from mail
utl_smtp.write_data(c, name || ': ' || header ||
utl_tcp.CRLF);

Automatic Procedure execution

Hi All,
I have following two questions. Can anyone help us please?
1. Unlike Unix Cron job(which starts automatically at the specified time), is there any way I can have certain stored procedure executed automatically within Oracle server? Also if any failures in the execution(exceptions) I wold like to be notified by an email?
2. If i have a Oracle DB account as scott/tiger@TEST and has a stored procedure with the name TEST_PROC(i_date date), how can I have this procedure called within a UNIX cron entry so that it gets executed at the specified date and time?
Early reply...(as usual but it really will be highly appriciated since its somthing in production)..
cheers

Hi Sandeep
Here is an example for sending email. Include this code in the exception handling part of your proc.
DECLARE
c utl_smtp.connection;
PROCEDURE 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('www.oracle.com');
utl_smtp.helo(c, 'us.oracle.com');
utl_smtp.mail(c, '[email protected]');
utl_smtp.rcpt(c, '[email protected]');
utl_smtp.open_data(c);
header('From', '"Diwakar Sharma" <[email protected]>');
header('To', '"Sandeep" <[email protected]>');
header('Subject', 'Hello');
utl_smtp.write_data(c, utl_tcp.crlf || 'Hello,' || utl_tcp.CRLF ||
utl_tcp.CRLF ||
'This is a test message.' || utl_tcp.CRLF || 'Diwakar');
utl_smtp.close_data(c);
utl_smtp.quit(c);
END;
Hope this helps

Unix script in PL/SQL

I am building a txt file using UTL_FILE in PL/SQL and need to email it using a Unix script. How can I add the Unix script to the end of the PL/SQL?

Well, on the UNIX side of things I have simply used mail -s <subject> <email_address> < <text or file> to send mail inside of a UNIX script and it works fine.
or you can use cat <some text> | mail -s <subject> <email_address>
UTL_SMTP works well if you want to have less moving parts and have one script compiled inside the database. I guess if you already have the UTL_FILE working, it would be less work to just add in the code to mail from the UNIX script.

Extending send_mail

I am using this code (below) within a procedure and it is working great. But, I can not figure out the symantecs on how to add more than the two e-mails to the recipient list. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I found another alternative that you can try which purportedly allows you to use multiple recipients. This one I got from Metalink. I haven't tried it myself, but I assume it works. Here it is pasted below:
