Can we zip the OTBI output file and email

Vibha Pandey - Oracle

Hi All,

We have a requirement to zip the output CSV file of an OTBI analysis before emailing it. Is it achievable?

Hi Vibha,

Thanks for the update.

You will not be able to Zip the output file in OTBI. This it not supported out of the box. Also FYI, there is no need to Zip the output file from the security point of view because any email going out of the Oracle CNS server will be encoded hence secure.

Hope it helps

Hi Vibha Pandey,

Currently there is no such option to zip the OTBI analysis output via OTBI Agent.Please create a new idea in Idea Lab on Customer Connect to have this functionality considered in the future. For more details, please refer to: How To Log An Enhancement Request (in Idea Labs) (Note: 2254478.1)

Hi @wasim ashraf-Oracle ,

The requirement of the client is to email the output file, but they also want to zip it before emailing. This is more from security point of view.

Or can we do a password protected file while emailing.
