quick report scheduling

There might be an easier Way, but I would believe  a scheduled database task would be able to take care of the scheduling bit.

but i am not sure whether there is a feature for emailing a quick report which said scheduled database task could then run or If you would have to create an event/event action triggered by the scheduled database task. 

I created scheduled DB task and email also specified in thay task only. Even application message successfully provessed. But e mail is not triggered. Let see if any other option to fulfill the request. 

Have you looked into the functionality mentioned in the Admin documentation to schedule the quick report?

Yes, I have gone through with the mentioned document. Let me further investigate in the issue. 

We have set up the emailing of quick reports as Application Server tasks. One application server task per quick report to be scheduled. 

Job Type: Quick Report

Queue: Batch2

Select the Quick Report to be scheduled

List the email receivers in the field Email Address.

Note the Application Message ID received and schedule it via Scheduled Tasks:

Task Name: Run Application Server Task

Application Message ID: The ID of the application message created in Application Server Task. 

I have scheduled Report but experiencing below error in Application message. Can you please advise:

Error while sending data... 
Caused by: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses 
Caused by: com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPAddressFailedException: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for rajendra.gupta@

The error says Invalid Addresses. How have you entered the email addresses in the application server task?

Are you trying to relay to an external email address?  Often times, mail servers restrict some external mail flow, so you may need to allow that for the message to process.

Thanks Amy! 

I tried both options with external and internal emails. 

Following your query, as I have a similar requirement and looking for alternatives ways to do this.

I need a scheduled report to be exported as an Excel report and emailed to the user. 

Problem might be in machine to machine communication limits in SMTP server.

Your machine “IFS” try to call SMTP machine Z over the network area. Most of these kind of connections are blocked cause it’s basic spamming method.

You need to contact your SMTP administrator and ask how to find solution.

You can use Oracle’s Utl_Smtp procedure to convert a cursor (SQL Statment) and create it as an attachment like .csv and email it out. Use a dbms scheduler job to run in required schedules. Positives of this method is you can embed html body and highly configurable including the schedule (ex. never email on a public holiday). 

In Apps 8 and Apps 9, you can use COMMAND_SYS.MAIL.

HTML email can be configured under “Setup IFS Connect”. Under “Connector Senders”, you can change the “CONTENT_TYPE” from “text/plain” to “text/html”. This affects all email for that sender.

(I have no experience with using multiple email senders, but I’d imagine that would be the right work-around if you want to send plain text and HTML from the same system.)

I’m aware of the html sender, and also have used command_sys,mail extensively. The answer is more about using an alternative method that has the capacity to create a file on the fly and attach to the email, plus having an html body.

How can we see this link? I tried and says contact your web administrator. I used my portal login but it will not work with this line.

You have to use your technical URL instead of wit.ifsworld.com for anyone that needs it.

@brward you can use this link instead. http://ifsappsrvprd01.australiasoutheast.cloudapp.azure.com:58080/ifsdoc/f1doc/default.htm

I am also trying to save QR according to a schedule. I can do this easily using PLSQL, writing new API. But I am still trying to make this possible the standard way.

My question is, how can we use the QR after sending its response to BizAPI: RenderExcelQuickReport.

Not every solution I have read here is quite complex and simple. The simple way to do this is to create a procedure with the sql of the quick report and run this procedure with DBMS_Job and send an e-mail to the person you want.
