Hi Alekh!

Take a look here: APEX_MAIL with UTL_TCP under XE database

Best regards,

It should work under 11g as well. To push the mail queue you need this part in your pl/sql process:

wwv_flow_mail.push_queue(
P_SMTP_HOSTNAME => 'ip',
P_SMTP_PORTNO => 'port');

i have written a trigger for email

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "EMAIL"
AFTER
update on "LEAVE_APPLICATION"
for each row
begin
if :new.status='Approve' then
for c1 in (select FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME,DESIGNATION,EMAIL from EMPLOYEE_DETAILS
where EMPLOYEE_ID=:new.EMPLOYEE_ID)
loop
APEX_MAIL.SEND(
p_to =>c1.email,
p_from=>'XXX@xxxx.com',
p_body=>
'Leave Details: '||chr(10)||'Details Below are :'||chr(10)||
chr(10)||
'Leave ID:'||:new.LEAVAPPLICATION_ID||chr(10)||
'Emplyee ID:'||:new.employee_id||chr(10)||
'Employee Name:'||:new.employee_name||chr(10)||
'Leave Type:'||:new.LEAVE_TYPE||chr(10)||
'Date From :'||:new.DATE_FROM||chr(10)||
'Date To:'||:new.DATE_TO||chr(10)||
'No of Days:'||:new.no_of_working_days||chr(10)||
chr(10)||
'Status:'||:new.status||chr(10),
p_subj=>'Leave Details :');
end loop;
end;

my question is where should i add this code
wwv_flow_mail.push_queue(
P_SMTP_HOSTNAME => 'ip',
P_SMTP_PORTNO => 'port');

Should be between end loop and end:

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "EMAIL"
AFTER
update on "LEAVE_APPLICATION"
for each row
begin
if :new.status='Approve' then
for c1 in (select FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME,DESIGNATION,EMAIL from EMPLOYEE_DETAILS
where EMPLOYEE_ID=:new.EMPLOYEE_ID)
  loop
  APEX_MAIL.SEND(
  p_to =>c1.email,
  p_from=>'XXX@xxxx.com',
  p_body=>
  'Leave Details: '||chr(10)||'Details Below are :'||chr(10)||
  chr(10)||
  'Leave ID:'||:new.LEAVAPPLICATION_ID||chr(10)||
  'Emplyee ID:'||:new.employee_id||chr(10)||
  'Employee Name:'||:new.employee_name||chr(10)||
  'Leave Type:'||:new.LEAVE_TYPE||chr(10)||
  'Date From :'||:new.DATE_FROM||chr(10)||
  'Date To:'||:new.DATE_TO||chr(10)||
  'No of Days:'||:new.no_of_working_days||chr(10)||
  chr(10)||
  'Status:'||:new.status||chr(10),
  p_subj=>'Leave Details :');
end loop;
 
-- push the e-mail queue for immediate delivery
wwv_flow_mail.push_queue(
P_SMTP_HOSTNAME => 'ip',
P_SMTP_PORTNO => 'port');
end;

Alekh,

There is a database job, Job Number 4001, which is used to push the e-mail queue every 15 minutes. Is this job not running?

select * from DBA_JOBS where JOB = 4001

Have you tried executing the script with own values like:

APEX_MAIL.SEND(
  p_to =>'testuser@mail.com',
  p_from=>'newuser@mail.com',
  p_body=>
  'Leave Details: '||chr(10)||'Details Below are :'||chr(10)||
  chr(10)||
  'Leave ID:'|| ' Testdata1'||chr(10)||
  'Emplyee ID:'||' Testdata2'||chr(10)||
  'Employee Name:'||' Testdata3'||chr(10)||
  'Leave Type:'||' Testdata4'||chr(10)||
  'Date From :'||' Testdata5'||chr(10)||
  'Date To:'||' Testdata6'||chr(10)||
  'No of Days:'||' Testdata7'||chr(10)||  chr(10)||
  'Status:'||' Testdata8'||chr(10),
  p_subj=>' Leave Details :');
 
-- push the e-mail queue for immediate delivery
wwv_flow_mail.push_queue(
P_SMTP_HOSTNAME => 'ip',
P_SMTP_PORTNO => 'port');

Alekh,

Sorry, my mistake. I should have said job 4002 and not 4001. Is job 4002 running?

Alekh,

So why do you "have to clear the mail queue"? Can you not wait until the job rolls around in the next 15 minutes or less to push the queue?

Correct

Alekh,

Try this. Instead of using APEX_MAIL.PUSH_QUEUE, use:

APEX_MAIL.PUSH_QUEUE_BACKGROUND

This does not have a COMMIT in it, like APEX_MAIL.PUSH_QUEUE, so you may be able to get away with using this in your trigger in the same place in your trigger. This procedure submits a job to push the e-mail queue.

No parameters are necessary, as the SMTP Host and SMTP Port are derived from your system settings (just as they are for APEX_MAIL.PUSH_QUEUE).
