Subscription emails: Less is More

Hey y'all —
I searched this topic but couldn't locate any new news since c. New Year's...
( i ) May I presume that the inability to have "Settings updated successfully" for anything but "Send subscription emails: Immediately (default)" is a system transition problem that hasn't made it to the top of the pile yet? Doesn't the attendant emailing ad infinitum put a big strain on the Discussions' servers?
( ii ) Will a "Never" or "Digest only..." option be incorporated in the subscriptions system, as time allows?
...or is it now, and I can't find it?
...or am I all wet?
Thanks!
Dean

Hello Dean,
( i ) Although I'm not sure the daily or weekly email notifications yet work completely as they should, personally I have no problem at all changing my Subscription Preferences and saving them immediately.
Also: Because it's only since two or three days that I've chosen "immediately" instead of "daily", I'm not sure whether this is a recent improvement, or was it that the problem existed only in the Daily/Weekly options: anyway, now the mails I receive clearly show, directly in the Subject, what the update is about. To me it is another step in the right direction.
( ii ) That's a good suggestion!
( iii ) Completely off-topic, regarding some of the old questions that I saw (among all the ones I missed):
- level4, even some of the so-called "Panther-only" versions, have always worked as well in Tiger. About the wrong website stating "Panther-only": I wrote to Volker yesterday, and he fixed this right away. The new URL is
http://homepage.mac.com/vrunkel/level4.html
- SuperDuper! and Archive&Install:
I don't know what a "Sandbox" is for (I don't use SD myself), but anyway the main purpose of a backup software is NOT to ensure OS health... The question of cloning also every fault is still there, but it is true that it's firstly a matter of OS maintenance and safe using (no hacking etc...).
About A&I: I am positive, 100% sure, an Archive&Install can bring back some faults from a previously corrupted system. At the moment that's exactly what I'm experiencing, with a permission mystery that I "saved" two times now, after two A&I...
Best regards!

Not working: Send subscription emails: Once per day?

Seasons Greetings,
Can someone please clarify/confirm what I should have in My Settings in Subscription Preferences.
They are currently:
Always subscribe to topics I create: Yes
Always subscribe to topics I reply to: Yes
Send subscription emails: Once per day
It's the last option that doesn't seem to work for me. Yesterday after spending a bit of time helping out all the new nano owners I opened Mail and has 67 posts yesterday, with 25 today so far.
Here's an example of 5 separate replies to one subject (numbered by me):

I have some with more than 5 but I don't want to bore you too much
What I really expected with 'Send subscription emails: Once per day' was a digest listing all replies to all posts for a 24 hour period.
Have I misunderstood or is something wrong?

How to include room name in subscriptions email?

I would like notifications and subscriptions sent from collaboration rooms to users via email to display the relevant room name that the subscription applies to. By default the emails display the room ID (609a34cc-eed4-2710-5492-987c69634cac) which gives no meaning to the user.
How?
Henning

Hi Henning,
with NW03 SP13 the mails display the room's path instead of the RoomID.
As Collaboration Rooms are unknown to the Subscription Service, its not possible for the Subscrption Service to determin a Room's name.
Also there's currently no way to edit/add the properties used to render the subscription eMail. The only way I can immagine this might work is, parsing the path (given in the Mails XML/XSL) and try to determin the room name out of this information.
Hope this helps
Dirk

Can I use the same email address in more than one community? How?

Can I use the same email address in more than one community? How?

Yes, you can be a member of multiple communities under the same email address. You will need to be invited to those communities. If you are trying to create new communities under the same address, you will not be able to do that through our website.

I would like to know how can I delete emails from my email block have more than 8000? Thank you.

Links in Subscriptions emails

Links in Subscriptions emails do not take you to the new post when clicked. Having to scroll to the new post (when the blue indicators are on) is a pain.

+The 'please respond to this post' link does exactly what it says.+
Not in Firefox. All links take you to the thread, not the relevant post.
Subscriptions are broken again, too.

Subscription emails for news

Hi All,
I have a small problem with the subscription functionality that I can't resolve on my own.
When I create a subscription for the folder in which my news are located in, the subscription emails never get to be sent off. When I create a subscription on any other folder the subscription emails works as they should. Is there something that I'm missing here? Is there something extra that has to be considered when subscribing to news in the portal?
All suggestion are welcome.
All other email functionality, like send to and notifactions, works without any problems in the portal. I'm using a netweaver portal.
Regards,
/Lennart

Hi Lennart
Subscription of the news is same as any other subscriptions. There is no additional configuration for this. Check for the permissions and service permissions set properly.

Send an attachment in email with length more than 255 char per line

Hi All,
I have to send an attachment in email with length more than 255 char per line. I dont want to break the line after 255 char and add it in another line.
Please suggest me any function module which can perform this.
Thank you all.

I looked at all threads in the forum, there was about 5 or 6 identical questions, but surprise, nobody knows! It seems that SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 function module does not allow more than 255 characters by line.
It would surprise me a lot if there is no workaround !
As it is very easy to add any binary attachment which is like a very long line, PDF for example (several kilobytes), via the function module above (lots of examples in the forum), I would advise you to try to use the same way, i.e. use the contents_bin parameter instead of the contents_txt parameter (convert the text into binary) and add the line feeds yourself (okay I know, it's not very smart).
Last thing, this function module is deprecated, and we should use BCS classes, maybe they work better.

Interactive Report Subscription emailing different dataset

Hi All,
I am having a bit of strange problem with subscriptions email on an interactive report.
I have the report to email users every morning from an interactive report. The dataset that is emailed is not the same as the report on the interactive report screen. The variance between what is emailed and what is on the report screen page is quite large and it is not an issue of the data changing between the email fist going out and the report screen being viewed.
Also, is there a way for a user to 'unsubscribe' from a report?
Any help would be great,
Thanks
Chris
APEX Version v: Application Express 4.0.0.00.46

Hello Becky,
While exporting from DEV you should set NO for following options
<li> Export Private Interactive Reports
<li> Export Interactive Report Subscriptions
Because, Private Reports and Subscriptions will be made by end-users and they will be made on Prod systems. So if you export them from DEV and import into PROD, then all private reports and subscriptions will be lost on PROD.

Not receiving subscription email alerts

Why am I not being alerted by email when my subscribed threads receive replies? My email address is correct, I have set the radio buttons marked "Always subscribe to all topics I create" and "Always subscribe to topics I reply to" and selected "Immediately (default)" from the dropdown box marked "Send subscription emails". Yet I never receive any alerts. :?

For the past 4 hours Discussions has been down. If the replies arrived just before or after, there may be a lag as the servers catch up.

Can I get the description field the daily 'bundled' subscription email

I'm customising subscriptions and have managed to edit the individual event SUBSCRIPTION_EMAIL.xsl xsl so that its shows the description.
However I also need to mdify the daily 'bundled' subscription email. I have managed to customise much of the code in the SUBSCRIPTIONBUNDLED_EMAIL.xsl sheet to give the right 'look and feel', but cannot find how I can obtain the description next to each item created. The xsl code seems to infer the 'resourceDescription' should be contained within the notification/bundlednotificationdata/resource field, but looking at the SUBSCRIPTIONBUNDLED_en.xml all I can see if this area is the comment NotificationData will be set here, ie
<notification>
<bundlednotificationdata>

</bundlednotificationdata>
Is there anyway of getting the resourceDescription next to each item created, and if so how?
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andrew,
You can add additional information for each resource by modifying the XML, specifically the textspan tags for the associated event. I think you may run into problems with the description though, since it was causing problems since it could be multiple lines which did not work well going through the XSL. It could be that they are no longer passing the description from the Java for the bundled subscriptions for this reason. I vaguely recall something about this.
This article may better help you to understand how notifications work:

Restrict email attachments if more than 1mb for internal and 250kb for external emails

Hi,
Restrict email attachments if more than 1mb for internal and 250kb for external emails ?
Can any one help me in this issue
Thanks
Deepan.T

Hi Deepan,
You can use transport rule to restrict the attachment size.
I use the following transport rule to reject the attachment size over 2MB with "5.7.1" information returned.
New-TransportRule "block large attach" -AttachmentSizeOver 2MB -RejectMessageEnhancedStatusCode "5.7.1"
For more information, here is an article for your reference.
