UTL_MAIL.SEND log information

Hi,
I am using utl_mail package to send email in html format.
I am able to send the emails successfully, but there is a delay in completion of my procedure holding utl_mail and delivery of the mail.
I guess the utl_mail.send will not wait for the mail to be completely delivered to the recipients mail box/ nor does this package return any output parameter.
How would i determine if the mail has been successfully sent to the concerned recipient?
Is there a log or an oracle table where in i can monitor/track mails sent through utl_mail.send.
Please also let me know if there are any specific defined exceptions for utl_mail package(ex: utl_file.invalid_mode)
I have been searchin for such information in books and documentations but with minimal use.
Please throw some light on this or direct me to any documents having these information.
Regards,
Hemant

From that can I confirm that posting an email alone would be the functioning of utl_mail.send?Yes. This procedure connects to a SMTP server, says helo to it, provides the sender and recipient e-mail addresses, and then sends it the actual e-mail message itself.
If that is so what use can a when_others exception be for the block holding the call for utl_mail.sendWhen the conversation with the e-mail server fails. For example, the server may not accept connections from the Oracle database server. You may have formatted the recipient or sender e-mail addresses incorrectly. The mail server may expect authentication (username and password). The mail server may deem that you are attempting to relay e-mail (illegal as per Internet standards these days, in order to reduce spam holes). Etc.
Any such error, will result in the mail server returning an error code in response to a SMTP command. The UTL_MAIL package will detect that the SMTP command it send failed and will then raise an exception as a result.
Will any kind of errors produced by SMTP sent to the senders inbox?, like let say an incorrect email address had been passed to utl_mail package?The SMTP server only sends errors to the sender's inbox when it has problems delivering the mail. This means that is accepted the mail from the client - in this case, from the PL/SQL code using UTL_MAIL. It had no problems with the SMTP conversation itself. However, it ran into some form of delivery/transmission problem attempting to process that mail - and that will (should) result in firing off an e-mail to the sender to inform the sender of the problem.
Not all e-mail received from the mail server like that are failures - it could be a simple warning. For example, if the mail server needs to connect to domain foo.com for delivering your mail, and the mail server at foo.com does not respond, the mail server will queue that mail and retry the transmission later. It may (usually do) send the sender an e-mail to inform the sender that there is a problem with transmission, that it is not an error, and that it will retry the transmission later. This is called a soft bounce (not yet an error).
A hard bounce will be for example receiving a mail from the mail server informing you that the recipient's mail box is full and that it cannot accept any mail. In this case, it is an error - your mail to that recipient failed. Or you may receive an e-mail saying that the recipient does not exist at that domain (no mail box found to accept the mail). Or you may hit a spam filter and the mail server telling you that it does not accept e-mail from your mail server. All such errors are hard bounces that result in the original e-mail being rejected for delivery somewhere along the line.
Also keep in mind that you do not know whether your e-mail arrived at its destination mailbox. There are no mechanisms in SMTP that allows that. You can mark an e-mail header with a tag that instructs the mail reader used by the recipient, to fire off a response e-mail to you when the recipient receives or open the e-mail. But this relies on that mail reader to honour the request. I always turn that option off in my mail readers.
The only way to determine e-mail delivery is to send a URL in the mail and asking the recipient to click it when receiving the mail - e.g. approach used for registering an e-mail address as an account with a web site. Send the same e-mail again in 24 hours when not receiving the URL click in response. After another 24 hours deem the recipient as not interested or not reachable.

Sending Exception Information

I have recently ran through the ExceptionHandling sample project, and I am attempting to extend it slightly.
I have created a Business Exception object called Test_Exception. Within this exception object, I have created three attributes: id, activity, message. The idea behind these properties is that I can set their values when an exception is thrown. I also created a notifyException method that I use to send this information to someone who is charged with investigating/handling these exceptions.
I have a Process Exception flow that looks like this: Process Exceptions >> Notify Exception Handler >> Exception Review. The transition to, "Notify Exception Handler," references my Test_Exception object. The variable that will hold the exception is the default, "exceptionHolder."
So I have some code in an Automatic activity that looks like this:
try{
     Test.doSomething();
}catch (Exception ex){
     Test_Exception te = new Test_Exception();
     te.instanceId = this.id.id;
     logMessage("TE Instance = " + te.instanceId + ".");
     te.activity = this.activity.name;
     logMessage("TE Activity = " + te.activity + ".");
     te.message = "Message = " + ex.message + "\rStackTrace = " + ex.stackTrace;
     logMessage("TE Message = " + te.message + ".");
     throw te;
I can look at the logs and see that te's attributes are being populated.
In, "Notify Exception Handler," there is code to send mail using the attributes of the Test_Exception object.
Mail email = new Mail();
email.recipient = "[email protected]";
email.from = "[email protected]";
email.subject = "An Exception Has Occured";
email.message = "Instance, " + Test_Exception.instanceId + ", in Activity, " + Test_Exception.activity + ", has encountered a problem."
     "\r\rError Details: " + Test_Exception.message + "\r\rThank you.";
email.send();
Here, the attributes of the Business Exception are blank. Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions about this approach?

You notification code should look more like the code below. Because exceptionHolder is of type any you must first cast it to a Test_Exception.
Test_Exception te = ((Test_Exception)exceptionHolder);
Mail email = new Mail();
email.recipient = "[email protected]";
email.from = "[email protected]";
email.subject = "An Exception Has Occured";
email.message = "Instance, " + te.instanceId + ", in Activity, " + te.activity + ", has encountered a problem."
"\r\rError Details: " + te.message + "\r\rThank you.";
email.send();

Sure.
This simple job was created via Database Control Create Job option.
The 'Job Activity' form shows 'Succeeded' but I did not receive the email. But if sent via SQL Plus i do receive the email.
This is the SQL Script code: Type: SQL Script
BEGIN
UTL_MAIL.send(sender => '[email protected]',
recipients => '[email protected]',
cc => '[email protected]',
bcc => '[email protected]',
subject => 'UTL_MAIL Test',

IPhone sending user information to...?

Hello all,
I love my iPhone, but lately I have been haunted by the static interferences with it and my table-top speakers. However, that isn't the primary concern for now - I am concerned as to why the iPhone seems to be sending my information (without permission) out to service-provider/Apple/Government?
Many of us have noticed a string of static when a call, or data packets, is/are about to come (on almost any make/model of cellphones), or when we make a call etc. Considering that the phone conversation(s) require sending signals back and forth between the parties communicating, it makes sense for the speakers to have static. However, when a simple alarm goes off on the cellphone, that doesn't require any network's attention and/or talking to another cellphone user, what reason is there for the static to appear? What information is being sent when a simple alarm goes off, or even when I turn the phone on or off? Where is this information going to?
I have been noticing that since I got the iPhone, anytime I do almost anything with it, the static appears. It is as if all the "moves" are being recorded somewhere... Has anyone else noticed this? If you haven't, please do try it out...
I have nothing top secret going on in my life, but it feels weird to go through this...
PS: The static goes away when the phone is in Airplane mode

Whenever you use the Stocks or Weather app, a logging post is made to an Apple server:
[Read updated article on data logging|http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=1041]
At first, it was feared that the phone IMEI id was being sent as well. Just knowing that someone important was checking a certain stock could be valuable information. Turns out not to be the case, although of course it's not necessary to embed the IMEI since they could, in theory, simply cross-check the request IP with the currently assigned carrier IP of your phone and id you that way.
But no need for conspiracy theories. Almost always any "spying" like this is simply something an engineer left in, possibly without managerial knowledge, to help with debugging and so forth.
In short, Nathan's explanation stands.
On the other hand, it's a good bet that governments sometimes use tower location logging to check on what other persons' phones come near, say, a terrorist or drug dealer's phone.
When I was with NSA back before its existence was revealed, we were forbidden to monitor U.S. citizens. In today's Patriot Act atmosphere, that's no longer true.

Send Diagnostic Information EVERY sync

Hi all,
I purchased an iPod Touch last week and it is great in all respects. However, every time I sync with iTunes, I get the prompt to "send diagnostic information" to Apple. I always choose "Send to Apple", but I do not check "Do not ask me again" b/c I want to know when it is sending something.
That said, the issue seems to be that the crash logs are never deleted. This causes iTunes to prompt me to send diagnostic information to apple, even when there is no new information. For example, clicking "show details" reveals crash logs from several days back, even though I have already sent them to Apple.
Is iTunes supposed to delete the logs it sends? If so, what is wrong with my iPod?
I appreciate any help you can provide (short of "buy a mac"), and thank you in advance.

The next time you get this message, click the checkbox "Do No Ask Me Again," and click the "Don't Send" button. The annoying messages should stop. The crash logs should be stored on iTunes, but it's you don't have to delete them; they might have useful information.
(I chuckled when I read your "short of 'buy a mac'" remark. But seriously, current prices are unusually competitive.)

How to configure IPS 4240 - K9 to send log file to syslog server

I am looking for the commands in how to configure IPS 4240-k9 to send log file to SYSLOG server. If anybody has or came across similer issue please advice.
Thanks in advanced.

Ali -
I am sorry to tell you, but the Cisco IPS Sensors do not send Syslog messages. Your only options for sending signature event information are:
SDEE (an TLS Encrypted XML formatted message) the sensor is the SDEE Host and your event receiver (MARS, IME, Intelitactics, etc) is the client.
SNMP Traps - You need to set the "Action" on each signature you want the sensor to send a trap.

UTL_MAIL.send - 5.1.0 address does not conform to RFC 2821 syntax

Hi,
I am trying to get the UTL_MAIL package to run on my instance..
But unfortunatly all examples fail...
For example :
BEGIN
UTL_MAIL.send(sender => '<[email protected]>',
recipients => '<[email protected]>',
cc => '<[email protected]>',
bcc => '<[email protected]>',
subject => 'UTL_MAIL Test',
message => 'If you get this message it worked!');
END;
results in following error message :
ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 553 5.7.1 [email protected].. 5.1.0 address does not conform to RFC 2821 syntax
Adding or removing the by the RFC 2821 required <> around the email addresses does not make any difference...
I have checked the SMTP log, and in there the email addresses are stated WITHOUT the <> .....
Somehow i am assuming that UTL_MAIL stripes the <> from the email address before submitting it to the SMTP server....
Any ideas how to fix or debug ??
Regards,
Fred
P.S. I have been submitting this from the 'SQL Commands' window, might this be the problem ?? If so, how else to test email functionality?

Mavericks Mail won't send login information to IMAP server

I am having a problem with Mavericks Mail not connecting to the Dovecot IMAP server. There appears to be many posts about similar problems, but none have the exact symptom I’m seeing.
Mail appears to not provide login information to any of my IMAP accounts. The iPad, iPhone, and Thunderbird on the same Mac all work with the same credentials. Just Apple Mail on the Mac fails. It fails for all user accounts on the same Mac. This has been a problem for a long time.
Connection doctor seems to indicate Mail is not sending login information. In fact, connection doctor shows the only thing working is the smtp server that doesn’t require a login. Everything else fails.
I’ve rebooted the Mac and the mail server.
I’ve repaired disk permissions.
I’ve recreated the account.
I’ve create a brand new account.
I’ve removed cache files.
I’ve re-indexed mail files.
Nothing works.
Here is the relevant connection doctor log:

dovecot: Jul 24 19:59:13 Info: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): method=PLAIN, rip=***.***.***.***, lip=***.***.***.***, TLS
I believe the “WROTE” log line in Mail cooresponds to the “client in” line in Dovecot. The next line is a continuation going back to Mail. But, Mail never seems to read or process it. When Dovecot gets a successful login from Thunderbird, the login credentials were displayed in the log with another “client in” line.
Here is what I am using:
OS X 10.9.4
Mail version Version 7.3 (1878.6)
Dovecot version 1.1.7
Where do I go from here? Has anyone seen this symptom before? How do I get Mail to send credentials to an IMAP server?
Thanks from a first time poster !

Try MD5 as the authentication method.

Planning Log Information

Hi All,
I'm using Planning 11.1.1.3. Some times, when i'm trying to run the Currency conversion Business Rule in Data Form, it is displaying the message as Currency conversion failed. Pls. check the Log files. Where exactly we've to check for the Log information about the Error/issues of the Planning application that we are using. In Essbase it is convenient that to check Server Log, Application Log. Can you pls. advice me on the path for detailed Planning Log information

Here's how John Goodwin explains it in {message:id=9200330}:
All depends on your version and OS.
If you are on system 9 on windows then for planning you will probably have to make a registry change.
Open the registry editor and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion Solutions\HyperionPlanning\HyS9Planning
Modify SysOutFile and provide a path that exists. For e.g. E:\hyperion\logs\Planning\Sysout_plan.log
Restart planning, planning should know write to that log.
Version 11, check the services log directory.

How to get the log information when using a class?

Hi All,
I have a simple question, which I don't know how to solve. I am using org.apache.commons.logging.Log and LogFactory to do some logging. A typical situation is exemplified in the following code snippet.
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
class LogClass {
    private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(AClass.class);
    public void logit(){
        LOG.debug("This is the debugging log.");
public class AClass{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LogClass l=new LogClass();
        l.logit();
}But this way, I do not get the log information from the class LogClass. Could anybody please help?
Many thanks.

Either way, it adds to the possible problems that the OP could be having, any of which are consistent with his rather vague question.
1) He's passing the wrong class to the LogFactory, and hence getting a logger with the wrong name, so he's seeing a different name than he expects in the output that's being produced.
2) His config file does not contain the proper format to include the actual classname, independent of the logger's name, so he's missing a piece of desired information in each line of the output that's being produced.
3) His config file indicates a threshold that's less verbose than the level at which his code is logging, so no output is present when he wants it.
4) His config file is missing (or not where it's expected to be), so no output is being produced at all.
5) His config file is missing (or not where it's expected to be), so a default level or format is being produced, effectively the equivalent of one of the misconfigurations described in #2 and #3.
Since the OP seems to have vanished, we may never know.

How to write log information into SM37 batch job log

Hi,
I have a report running in batch mode, and I would like to log the start time and end time for some part of the code (different Function modules). I need to write this log information into the batch job log. Therefore I can check the time frame of my FMs.
After search the SDN, I can only get some information on how to write log into the application log displayed in SLG1, but that's not I want. I want to write batch log information, and check it in SM37.
If you have some solution or code to share, please. Thanks a lot.

Send mail to distribution list using UTL_MAIL.SEND

Oracle 10.2.0.4.0
Does UTL_MAIL.SEND support sending mail to a distribution list?. The doc says, the recipient mail-id should be separated by a comma. The distribution list has mail-id separated by a comma. I executed a test case sending a mail to a distribution list, I did not receive any error or exception. I did not receive the test mail as well!!.
Has anyone used the UTL_MAIL.SEND to send mails to a distribution list?.
Thanks

Has anyone used the UTL_MAIL.SEND to send mails to a distribution list?.Oracle RDBMS does not know or care is email address is single recipient or list.
It sends message to name provided.
It is up to MTA to deliver any message it gets.
Are you 100% certain that message got to MTA & was successfully processed by it?

How can i see Log information of Report Run Time?

Hi Gurus,
How can i see Log information of Report Run Time?, till now i am counted report run time manually. Is there any way i can see the workbook running time in log information?.
Thanks & Regards
Vikram

There could be a few things -
At one time, you needed to run a separate script to create the tables. I'm not sure that is still the case. If you check the Administrators guide, look into the chapter that deals with the EUL Status Workbooks.
If you are not logged on as the eul owner, you may not have select privileges, or you may need to qualify the table with the schema (if there is no synonym) - select * from <eul_owner>.EUL5_QPP_STATS;
If you are on 4i, the table is EUL4_QPP_STATS

SSIS write custom logging information to sql 2012 table

I have a Package that I want to put logging information in to a SQL table.
I can do this with a script task but each time the package runs it will open a SQL connection write the log information and then close this connection it will do this 10 times every time the package executes and i could 50 of the packages running at the
same time so i am looking for a better way to do this.
My thought was to create a in memory table object at the start of the package and then insert the log records in to it and at the end do a bulk insert at the end of the package.
My problem is I don't know if this can be done and if it can how would I create the in memory table insert the records and then bulk load it to the SQL server table.

While I do not see any justification for what you want, "My thought was to create a in memory table object at the start of the package and then insert the log records in to it and at the end do a bulk insert at the end of the package" is doable
by creating an ADO table, adding records to it and then writing to a destination:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/195082?wa=wsignin1.0 has all the needed code it seems. Just wrap into the Script Task.
