How to automatically attached multiple PDF reports to an e-mail and send
406271Dec 5 2003 — edited Dec 5 2003Hello.
I have a requirement to generate multiple PDF reports using Oracle Reports 6i on the web, then automatically attach these PDF reports to an Outlook e-mail and then bring up the Outlook e-mail dialog box so the user can modify the e-mail (such as adding more attachments, adding a CC, BC, change the message text) before sending the e-mail. I want to be able to initiate all these tasks from Oracle webforms 6i in a three-tier environment.
I have already read various notes and solutions but none of them address all my requirements. Examples:
1. Using OLE to interface with Outlook - but OLE does now work on the Web
2. Using Java stored procedure or UTL_SMTP - but this does not bring-up an e-mail dialog box
3. Using mailto: in HTML and web.show_document - but this does not allow you to attach a PDF file
Can you please advise on possible solutions to my requirements. Thank you very much.
Regards,
Armando
