Use Apex_Mail.Send From A Background Job

I am trying to use the Mail API to send Mail generated from a DBMS_Job entry. I am getting an error stating I must run this from an application to use this feature. Am I missing something or have done something wrong ? Or is this not possible from background jobs.
Any help appreciated,
Thanks,
Tom

Sending an email with html tags in it using apex_mail.send

Hello,
I am using APEX_MAIL.SEND to send emails from my apex applications.
now I need the email body to have html features: bold, underline, colors etc.
If I use regular html tags, they show up in the email.
How can this be done?
Thanks

p_body_html

APEX_MAIL.SEND from a pl/sql function

I have created a pl/sql function, in the database, in which I would like to use APEX_MAIL.SEND to send out emails.
When I try to compile I get the following errors:
Compilation failed,line 10 (08:44:32)
PLS-00307: too many declarations of 'SEND' match this callCompilation failed,line 10 (08:44:32)
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Here is the relavent code. Line 10 is the line where I have APEX_MAIL.SEND
LOOP
APEX_MAIL.SEND (
P_TO => email_rec.TO_EMAIL,
P_FROM => email_rec.FROM_EMAIL,
P_BODY => email_rec.BODY,
P_BODY_HTML => email_rec.BODY,
P_SUBJ => email_rec.SUBJECT );
I am in APEX version 3.0.0.00.20
I can send mail from a APEX application procedure. The function I am having trouble with is one that can be accessed under the SQL Workshop --> Object Browser --> Functions.
Other functions work fine.
Thanks.

Have a look at the following thread Re: HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND Cursor for loop
It might be a problem of your data types you have defined in email_rec. Eg. do you have a CLOB for SUBJECT?

Send/export the background job spool in Excel (in MHTML format) in ECC 6.0.

Hello All,
I have a requirement to send/export the background job spool in Excel (in MHTML format) in ECC 6.0. Please help.
Thank you.
Nalini

Hi Jigar,
Thanks for your response.
Anything is like download to desktop or email is fine. But in MHTML format.
We can download the ALV report in MHTML spreadsheet format when we run the program online. But the program is running for long time and going to dump.
So i scheduled it as background job and downloading the output in .HTML format. But user wants the spool/report output in .MHTML spreadsheet format.
I can write the code. Instead of changing the existing program I would like to know is there any way (from standard SAP) that I can get the background spool in MHTML spreadsheet format.
Thanks,
Nalini

Invalid Certificate Microsoft Outlook cannot sign or encrypt this message because you have no certificates which can be used to send from your e-mail address.

Hi,
I have a problem when trying to sign emails with an X.509 certificate in Outlook 2010. I constantly get the error message. The certificate is Verified for the email address I'm sending from.
"Invalid Certificate
Microsoft Outlook cannot sign or encrypt this message because you have no certificates which can be
used to send from your e-mail address."I have no problem with signing documents in Word 2010 with the same certificate, only when trying to send email.Every check I can perform confirms that there's nothing wrong with the certificate. Yet, Outlook still says it is invalid.I have even tried installing a second X.509 for the same email address just to check. Outlook doesn't seem to like either certificate.I know this has been posted before, but I'm completely stuck here.Thanks,~Dan

Hi,
You may have checked the option "Encrypt contents and attachments for outgoing messages" in Outlook, please uncheck this to test if the problem persists.
File -> Options -> Trust Center -> Trust Center Settings -> E-mail Security -> Clear the checkbox "Encrypt contents and attachments for outgoing messages" -> OK.

Melon Chen

p.s.
i'm trying to create a job that will send email regulary .
regards,

Passing data from a background job to RFC calls in different App server

The program i am working on can be explained in the following steps:
Step A- We use a standard program that is executed as a background job and the standard program obtains some data for a particular scenario.
Step B - The job(standard program) during its execution creates many RFCs executed as dialog work processes on various application servers and processes data.In the RFCs various exits are executed.
We currently write data to database(Z table) in Step A and retreive data in exits in Step B to access the information written to DB(Z table). We want to eliminate writing to database since it consumes time.
Is there any solution apart from writing data to database and retreiving the same.
I am not sure if we can use ABAP memory or SAP memory to access the information in the exits since they are executed on different App servers.

We have not been able to arrive at a solution to the below, any solutions / inputs will be rewarded.

?my apple account used an email from a previous job that i can't access now

My apple account was my ex work email I no longer have access to I thought i had changed it but when I try and update apps my user name still comes up with the old one and won;t let me chane it help please ?

As Linc has said, those purchases are tied to your 'work' Apple ID.
If you could proivde more information, maybe we can help.
So you don't have access to the email address associated with the Apple ID, but do you have your AppleID assword? Are you unable to update the purchases in the App Store? Did you forget the AppleID password at some point, and now you can not recover it? If so, have you tried using the security questions to recover your account?
Is this account tied to purchasing/billing for your former employeer, or is it a personal account that you happened to use your work email for?
If you can access your account, have you tried the steps in this article?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5621
Apple ID is a little more flexible now in terms of renaming and using alternate email addresses, that is, if you can access the account.

I found the following info:
Open Job Scheduling Without Dialog (Including COMMIT WORK)
Use JOB_OPEN to create a background job. The function module returns the unique ID number which, together with the job name, is required for identifying the job.
Once you have "opened" a job, you can add job steps to it with JOB_SUBMIT and submit the job for processing with JOB_CLOSE.
I think you will first have to use the JOB_SUBMIT statement like mentioned above

How to identify what are all the events are created in background jobs?

Hi all,
how to identify what are all the events are created for background jobs. And what events gets triggered for a particular job.
thanxs
haritha

Hi Haritha,
JOB is a program which starts to a determined point of time and executes some standard programs in the system. JOBs can be planed to a determined point of time on the regular basis (every night, for example) or to some discret time moments. So, the JOB can be planed and then will be started automatically without the manual start.
Realtime programs are understood in the most cases as actual program execution which is started by somebody to the actual moment of time.
Typically per JOBs some special processes will be started that should be executed automatically and regularly: for example, IDOC application, some correction reports, statistic updates etc.
Standard jobs are those background jobs that should be run regularly in a production SAP System These jobs are usually jobs that clean up parts of the system, such as by deleting old spool requests.
Use
As of Release 4.6C, the Job Definition transaction ( sm36 ) provides a list of important standard jobs, which you can schedule, monitor, and edit.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/24/b884388b81ea55e10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
About Events:
Events have meaning only in the background processing system. You can use events only to start background jobs.
Triggering an event notifies the background processing system that a named condition has been reached. The background processing system reacts by starting any jobs that were waiting for the event.
Types of Events:
There are two types of events:
1.)System events are defined by SAP. These events are triggered automatically when such system changes as the activation of a new operation mode take place.
2.)User events are events that you define yourself. You must trigger these events yourself from ABAP or from external programs. You could, for example, signal the arrival of external data to be read into the SAP system by using an external program to trigger a background processing event.The event scheduler processes an event if the event is defined in the system.
For example, if a system (System 1) receives an event from another system (System 2), the event scheduler of System 1 processes the event only if it is defined in System 1. That event does not need to be defined in System 2 (the sending system).
You define an event by assigning a name (EVENTID) to it. When defining an event, you do not define the event arguments.

When you schedule the process chain or infopackages the jobs associated with it run in the background mode. In case you want to create a job for a specific activity you can do so in SM36. You would be creating jobs that would get executed in any one of the options:
1. Immediate
2. Date & Time
3. After event.
4. After job.
5. At Operation mode.
In case you want to view the job logs go to sm37.
Also Pls check DB02 for database performance and ST03 for workload .
