Updating a SharePoint Calendar and sending email notifications based on information from an Access Web App

Hi MSDN Forum,
I have created an Access Web App that I am hoping to add some functionality to. I am looking to provide email notification to different users from my organization (a field within the Access Table) when the current date approaches the renewal date (another
field within the Access Table). I would also like to display all renewal dates on a SharePoint Calendar for users to see. Any advice on how to do this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm not familiar with how Access Web Apps work. However, on the SharePoint side of things, it looks like a workflow will be your best bet. Are you using Visual Studio? I've created a few tutorials on sending email notifications in Visual Studio 2012. https://youtu.be/JFdiQEyDkEk

How do I show/refresh data from an Access Web App in an Excel spreadsheet saved in a Document Library on Sharepoint 2013 online

I have an Access 2013 Web App in my Sharepoint 2013 online website. It contains a query to report on its data (several, actually, but let's keep it simple). I want to connect an Excel spreadsheet to the query, visualise the data in pivot tables/graphs/whatever,
save the spreadsheet in a Document Library, and let other team site Sharepoint users open the spreadsheet (preferably in Excel online, but with Excel client if it has to be) and see/copy the data, refreshed with the latest information from the Access Web App.
Simple, surely!
The way I'm doing it at the moment is to create an ODC file to connect to the cloud-based Access 2013 database, save that ODC in a Data Connection Library in the SP site, and use the saved ODC file as data source in the Excel spreadsheet. This works and
successfully keeps everything 'in the cloud' but I can't get it to refresh in Excel Online, and if I open the spreadsheet in Excel Client I have to enter the database password every time to refresh it. I don't really want to issue this password to everyone
who might want to view the data. There must be a better way than this ODC method, I suspect.
Googlings on this have led down various blind alleys - Excel Services, PowerPivots, Web Parts - but I'm stuck on which to follow through. Please, someone, point me to an article/book/website that explains how to do this step-by-step in simple language..
thanks
Jonathan

I don't see any quick way of achieving it - at least there's no such functionality exists in SharePoint. All you can do, develop an event receiver that will update the fields in the list item once the excel file is added/updated. You can use OpenXml API
to manipulate the excel file.

Schedule webi report to destination to Inbox AND send email notification

I'm writing a new process that will schedule a webi report. The output of the report needs to be delivered to multiple user's BO Inboxes AND an email notification (without the report attached) needs to be sent telling them that they have a new report to view in their Inbox. Trying to mimic how this is done via CMC Schedule - Notification and Destination tabs.
I can get it to deliver the report to the Inbox and I can get it to send an email seperately, but the problem I'm running into is that I can't get it to do both in the same process. Here is the code snippet that I've written. Any assistance would be appreciated.
// Retrieve the managed plugin
IInfoObjects managedInfoObjects = infoStore.query("Select SI_DEST_SCHEDULEOPTIONS, SI_PROGID From CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS Where SI_NAME = 'CrystalEnterprise.Managed'");
IInfoObject infoObject = (IInfoObject)managedInfoObjects.get(0);
IDestinationPlugin destinationPlugin = (IDestinationPlugin)infoObject;
IManaged managed = (IManaged)destinationPlugin;
// Set the destination to inbox
IManagedOptions managedOptions = (IManagedOptions)managed.getScheduleOptions();
managedOptions.setDestinationOption(IManagedOptions.CeDestinationOption.ceInbox);
managedOptions.setSendOption(IManagedOptions.CeManagedSendOption.ceCopy);
managedOptions.setIncludeInstance(true);
managedOptions.getDestinations().add(new Integer(ditUserID1));
managedOptions.getDestinations().add(new Integer(ditUserID2));
managedOptions.getDestinations().add(new Integer(ditUserID3));
scheduleInfo.getDestination().setFromPlugin(managed);
// Retrieve the smtp plugin. to send email notification
IInfoObjects smtpInfoObjects = infoStore.query("Select SI_DEST_SCHEDULEOPTIONS, SI_PROGID From CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS Where SI_PARENTID = 29 AND SI_NAME = 'CrystalEnterprise.Smtp'");
IInfoObject smtpInfoObject = (IInfoObject)smtpInfoObjects.get(0);
IDestinationPlugin smtpDestinationPlugin = (IDestinationPlugin)smtpInfoObject;
// Set to email notification on success
ISMTP smtp = (ISMTP)smtpDestinationPlugin;
ISMTPOptions smtpOptions = (ISMTPOptions)smtp.getScheduleOptions();
smtpOptions.setServerName("mailhost.XXXXX.net");
smtpOptions.setPort(25);
smtpOptions.setDomainName("XXXXX.com");
smtpOptions.setSenderAddress("XXXXX.com");
smtpOptions.setSubject("Indicative Data Update Reports");
smtpOptions.getToAddresses().add("XXXXX.com");
smtpOptions.setMessage("Test Message");
smtpOptions.setSMTPAuthenticationType(CeSMTPAuthentication.NONE);
scheduleInfo.getNotifications().getDestinationsOnFailure().add("New");
scheduleInfo.getDestination().setFromPlugin(smtp);

One thing to keep in mind is that "scheduling to SMTP" is different from "scheduling with email notification", and it looks like you're conflating the two. The ISchedulingInfo.getDestinations() is the access point for scheduling to SMTP and ISchedulingINfo.getNotifications() is the access point for scheduling with Notification.
> scheduleInfo.getNotifications().getDestinationsOnFailure().add("New");
You'd add the SI_PROGID of the SMTP Destination here, and work with the returned IDestination to set the destination parameters.

Send Email Notification based on UPDATE

Hi,
a simple issue : how can I send an automatic Email Notification based on whether or not a particular field/attribute has been updated ?
Currently, in my User Form, I have "Checkboxes" to handle this task. The Checkbox code is as follows :
<Field name='global.FirstNameUpdate'>
<Display class='Checkbox'>
<Property name='Title' value='Tick this box if the user's first name has been changed'/>
</Display>
</Field>
In other words, if the First Name is changed at any time (or edited/updated), the Checkbox there will be ticked. When this happens, an automatic Email Notification is sent to whomever-it-concerns, saying : "Good morning. Your First Name has been changed/updated".....blah blah blah
For now, this works fine.
But, this system is not a good one. The reason is obvious : what if the First Name is changed more than ONCE?
(Of course, a person's first name is never changed. But, this is just an example)
What if the Field/Attribute in question, is something that is changed often? Like : the person's Address, or Age, or Marital Status, etc, etc
Obviously, a Checkbox is useless, because it can be ticked only once.
What I need is a way for my Update-User Workflow to detect any changes that are made in the User Form, and, based on this changes/updates, it can trigger an Email Notification.
I know that this is a simple issue. I just don't know how to do it.
What code/syntax should I use in my Update-User Workflow, to *"search for"* updates?

Sending email notifications to multiple IDs from lookup?

Is it possible to send email notifications to multiple ids by putting them in the decode column of a lookup separated by semicolon or nay other identifier?
OR is there any other way of sending email notfications to mutiple ids (not through Java mail) ?
Thanks,
Abhi

Try this to fetch the emails ids from the Lookup.
Suppose you have got a string say x from Lookup using "Lookup Definition.Lookup Code Information.Decode"
String x = "[email protected];[email protected];[email protected]";
StringTokenizer AA = new StringTokenizer(x.trim(), ";");
while(AA.hasMoreTokens())
int i = 0;
while(i <= AA.countTokens())
String B= AA.nextToken();
AAList.add(B);
i++;
Now you have the list just make a for loop
sendMail.setSubject("SUBJECT");
sendMail.setBody("BODY";
sendMail.setFromAddress(from);
for (int i=0;i<emailList.size();i++){
String email = AAList.get(i).toString();
sendMail.sendEmail(email);
If you need any help, let me know. I think we have written the whole code here. :-)

Auto Email notification based on data from Table

I need to send a auto email notification based on the information updated on the table. Like when response table is updated as 90 for ( column users).A Email should automatically trigger to the different users listed in a table named (email).. I have stored the value of users in a table named response and the person to whom i need to be email has been stored in table name email.
I'm using Oracle 10g Express edition
Let me know how this can be done automically.

Wrong forum...should be over in the Database Forum or PLSQL forum. You need to add a trigger to the table and the trigger needs to utilize the UTL_MAIL or UTL_SMTP packages. You can get more info on UTL_MAIL here or more info on UTL_SMTP here
and here is some example code for a trigger:
create or replace trigger my_trigger
after insert or update
on my_table
for each row
begin
   utl_mail.send(sender     => '[email protected]',
                 recipients => '[email protected],[email protected]',
                 cc         => '[email protected]',
                 bcc        => '[email protected]',
                 subject    => 'utl_mail test',
                 message    => 'if you get this message it worked!');
end my_trigger;UTL_MAIL and UTL_SMTP may need some configuring before you use them, see the links above for details.

Create a Recovering/Changing Password web form and send email notification

Hi all
I am looking for a web page or application that will allow an user to change his/her database password. I am thinking about those web forms where end users enter the current password and the new password, hit submit and the new password gets activated. Then the web form send an email notification
The database is an Oracle 10G database.
Is there any template similar to this one http://www.asp.net/learn/security/tutorial-13-vb.aspx for an Oracle database?
thanks

Write a stored procedure that uses native dynamic SQL and just pass in the new password.

Auto provisioning users and send email notification to the users

I currently have CUCM 10.5 setup to auto register phones and I use Cisco prime provisioning 10.5 to auto provision the users.
Self provisioning is setup and users can call the IVR number enter the self service ID, which is their DN.
what I would like to do is send an email notifying the end user of their setup and how to use their telephony device Example (Self-service ID: 8888, auth code: 3333) is this possible from Prime Provisioning or CUCM.

Thanks Jamie
Wishful thinking I guess. It would have been seamless if they added that form of email notification to end users when auto provisioning. Anyways to get around that I used MS word mail merge and used the same spread sheet I used to batch provision the users to send the Self-service ID to the email contacts.

How do you make icalendar send email notifications?

Since I "upgraded" my Mac OS I can't figure out how to get calendar to send email notifications. Is this feature gone, now?

Apple seems to be losing its way since Jobs died. They continue with their efforts to hide features, not document features, and make their products slower and harder to use. I hate the new iPhone OS. I think Apple must hate older people because they keep switching to fonts that are harder to read (e.g. light red on white with thinner font for the calendar app).

Human Workflow is not sending Email notifications to AD users

Hi,
I'm trying to send email notification to the assigness from workflow. If I use the weblogic users with email attributes, Its sending mails. But once I switch to AD and use the AD users it's not. I have made the AD provider to be the first in the list and also able to login to the worklist app using the same user. Problem is that it's not sending mails.
Can anyone please help soon.
Regards,
Thejas

Can you explain what are AD users and how they are created(APIs)?
Please check that the user exists in wf_local_roles table.
select name,notification_preference, email_address from wf_local_roles where name = <AD Username>
In order to send email notification, the user/role should have the proper email addresses and notification preference set to MAIL* i.e MAILHTMl, MAILHTM2, MAILATTH, MAILTEXT..etc

How to stop ical from sending email notifications for updates on my share ical calendar

Is it possible stop ical from sending email notifications for updates I make on my share ical calendar?
Mac OSX 10.7.2
Very annoying for the person I am sharing my calendar with to get an email every time I change something.
I hope there is a way to stop the emails, but for the updates to still go on their calendar.
Thanks

Great idea Lofty! thanks. If the person you are sharing a calendar with is a Yahoo Mail user, you only need to set up one filter (under Options - Mail Options - Filters) and route to Spam folder or a special folder for that purpose.
Add a filter with the following parameters:
Sender contains: "Your First and Last Name" as it appears in the emails they are receiving
Subject contains: "Your First Name"
Email body contains: "iCloud"
Don't need to match case on anything.
So far, only these unwanted emails are being routed to the folder I chose.
Hope that helps until Apple gets it's act together

Sharepoint Server 2013 not sending Email notification

I have a Sharepoint 2013 farm that is not sending any kind of email notifications. I also have a Sharepoint 2010 farm whit the same Outgoing Email settings and it is sending emails notifications normaly.
The SMTP service (the role) is in the same member servers of the 2013 farm, so it is reachable. The timer service is running well in both member servers of the 2013 farm. We don't have an On-premise Exchange enviroment because we use Office 365 (I cannot
set the sharepoint servers as allowed to relay in Exchange). The 2010 farm and the 2013 farm have the same Outgoing Email settings, I don´t know why the 2013 does not send emails. It is driving me crazy!.
How can I solve this?

Look.
I think this is the correct configuration because it sends emails normaly with SharePoint 2010.
If I configure my own email account in Outbound Security, Sharepoint 2013 sends emails but just when I login to Sharepoint, if other users login it doesn't send emails.

Send email notification when the baseline and actual values are different in project

Hi
I am working with MS Project 2013 and Project Server 2013.
I need to the send email notification to the program manager (or to a user) whenever the project manager changes the task finish date for a task. Comparison should happen with the baseline finish and the difference needs to be updated to the Program Manager
over mail.
How to configure/customize email notification for changes in MPP.
Please suggest.

If you are not having developer skills it will be complicated for you.
You need to create event handler by code, as in the below link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg615466%28v=office.14%29.aspx
Then compare your values and finally send email by code.

What exactly is "adobe"? Adobe is the name of a company that has hundreds of software products, each with a distinct name.
You are posting in the Flash Player forum; do you really receive emails with Flash attachments?
Flash Player also cannot scan or send emails.
Finally you give no information regarding your operating system, email client, etc.
