Send mail with attachment from a Module in Forms 10g

Hafed BenteftifaOct 20 2008 — edited Oct 21 2008
Hello,

An interesting email with attachments case if someone has a better solution.

Form module is called. Let's call it INVOICE_MOD. User enters a new invoice and then can either choose to PRINT or MAIL the invoice.
If user clicks on PRINT button, a PDF is generated (thru report server 10g) and user can either physically print the invoice or save the invoice on his desktop.
If user clicks on MAIL button, an email should be sent to client. The email should contain the following:
-From, to, subject, body and the invoice attached as PDF.

Please make not of the last requirement, that is the invoice that was created should be attached to the email as PDF.

Restriction: we can not store anything on the application server although we can manipulate the reports server cache.

Solution that was implemented makes use of BLOBs where the pdf is stored in a table before being sent.
See Metalink NOTE:330146.1 and 70110.1.
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_email_mailing_messages_plsql.htm also has some interesting implementations.
I also went thru the JAVAMAIL bean but this requires attachments on the client side.

Thanks for any input.

Does :NEW.UUID have any value?
Usually these columns are populated through calls to some SEQUENCE.NEXTVAL value.
How are you populating the column?

Are you creating trigger using OEM and target database 9i? If so, there is a bug. Use other tool, e.g. SQL*Plus.

In this case the UUID column is a nvarchar2(100) and is provided in the insert action....

Thanx for your response.

No, I'm using OEM from client 10g and oracle database 10g

Thanx for your response...
Syed Ullah
Try putting a DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE() in your trigger to print the value of :NEW.UUID
and then do an insert in SQLPLUS to see what value gets printed for :NEW.UUID.

The problem is: I can't save the trigger, it shows me the error message: "Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 1" and fails...
I'm working over the OEM
Syed Ullah
Try saving it using SQLPLUS and if that works that may indicate some bug on the OEM side.

When I execute the script:

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "KIKO"."TR_INSERT_PERSON" AFTER
INSERT ON "KIKO"."PERSON" FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
INSERT INTO CHANGETABLE (ROWGUID, OPERATION, DATEOPERATION, TABLEID) VALUES (:NEW.UUID, 2, (SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL), 'PERSON');
END;Connect sys/****@orcl AS SYSDBA

It shows me the warning: "Trigger created with compilation errors."
It seems like a syntax or semantic error
Syed Ullah
Type 'show error' to see the errors.

Try the following in SQL*Plus:
CREATE OR REPLACE
  TRIGGER KIKO.TR_INSERT_PERSON
    AFTER INSERT
    ON KIKO.PERSON
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN 
        INSERT
          INTO CHANGETABLE(
                           ROWGUID,
                           OPERATION,
                           DATEOPERATION,
                           TABLEID
                          )
          VALUES (
                  :NEW.UUID,
                  2,
                  SYSDATE,
                  'PERSON'
                 );
END;

Could you provide create table statements for tables PERSON and CHANGETABLE.
