OBIEE 10g ibot - Adding a mail recipient as CC

Abdul Kather Jeelan

Hi,

We are using obiee 10g and we have a requirement where we need to send a report as mail to a Manager email ID in 'TO' and Deputy Manager ID in 'CC'. Please let me know whether adding 'CC' is achievable in OBIEE 10g ibots.

Thanks,

Abdul

Dear abdul ,

As far as i know it is not possible in 10g ibot. But you can do it from 10g BIPublisher. Use the report query and schedule it using publisher and you can even use BCC. . Anyway it is an ibot and users may not need to use the dashboard features.

OR

Download the ibot using javascript and send it via Batch script. ...

. Also wait for @Christian Berg or @Gianni Ceresa as they will certainly have some ideas ..

Thanks

Page 25:

Use Bcc Instead of ToPuts the subscribers list on the BCC line instead of the To line. Prevents subscribers from seeing the names of the others on the list and accidentally (or maliciously) replying to the entire list.This box is checked (Yes) by default.

Same as in 11 and 12. It's either "To" or "BCC" for the Agent you're working on. That's it.

Alternatively have a a loog at BIP bursting functionality: Adding Bursting Definitions

From Publisher, we can add CC in Schedules.

You got the "technical" answers already, so I would like to give you my point of view on the "requirement".

That's not a requirement but somebody whining on a fake requirement.

What's the difference between a single email with manage in TO and deputy in CC and 2 emails with same content to 2 different people (manager and deputy) ? And what is the difference with a single email with 2 people as TO or BCC?

It's somebody who is missing the key point of the delivery.

The agent isn't there to highlight the hierarchy of the company, the agent exists to provide the delivery. And this can be achieved with the normal agent you already have.
