Distribution List

Create a distribution list, named as TEST DIST LIST.

When define action details for an alert, you can choose predefined distribution list for

List field, so that the default recipients can be shown in To field automatically.However, this To field can not be updated any more.

Other Issues

1. Handle dummy lines

When defining an alert, in action details, Subject field is necessary. Otherwise, some

dummy lines will be automatically generated in content.

Mime-Version: 1.0

Content-Type: multipart/mixed;

boundary="----=_Part_77_6009341.1235054529799"

------=_Part_77_6009341.1235054529799--

Solution: add subject in action details.

2. Handle Multiple Select Statements

Sometimes, user may require variable values extracted from independent tables,

which means multiple select statements need to be run. But alert select statement field

can only contain ONE select statement. The solution is use of functions to call these

select statements and then one SQL that calls them all.

Here is the original requirement:

I am trying to write one alert that will run the following SQL Statements:

select count(a.transaction_temp_id) Pending_Material_TXN_Countfrom

mtl_material_transactions_temp a, org_organization_definitions b

where b.operating_unit = 948

anda.organization_id = b.organization_id;

select count(a.transaction_interface_id) Material_TXN_Interface_Countfrommtl_transactions_interface a, org_organization_definitions b

16

where b.operating_unit = 948

anda.organization_id = b.organization_id;

select count(a.transaction_id) WIP_Move_Interface_Countfrom wip_move_txn_interface a,

org_organization_definitions b

where b.operating_unit = 948

anda.organization_id = b.organization_id;

The Output I am looking for in the email would need to look something like this:

Brazil Stuck Transactions Needing Cleared Prior to Close

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are 'Pending_Material_TXN_Count' transactions stuck in Pending Material Transactions.

There are 'Material_TXN_Interface_Count' transactions stuck in the Material Transaction Open

Interface.

There are 'WIP_Move_Interface_Count' transactions stuck in the Pending WIP Move

Transactions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steps:1) Create a function to return a combination character string. This string

includes all the required info separated by delimiters.

CREATEORREPLACEFUNCTION Test_Fun

RETURNVARCHAR2AS

x_Pending_Material_TXN_Count NUMBER;

x_Material_TXN_Interface_Count NUMBER;

x_WIP_Move_Interface_Count NUMBER;

BEGIN

selectcount(a.transaction_temp_id) Pending_Material_TXN_Count

into x_Pending_Material_TXN_Count

from mtl_material_transactions_temp a,

org_organization_definitions b

where b.operating_unit = 948

and a.organization_id = b.organization_id;

selectcount(a.transaction_interface_id) Material_TXN_Interface_Count

into x_Material_TXN_Interface_Count

from mtl_transactions_interface a,

17

8/8/2019 Alert SummaryV1

18/20

org_organization_definitions b

where b.operating_unit = 948

and a.organization_id = b.organization_id;

selectcount(a.transaction_id) WIP_Move_Interface_Count

into x_WIP_Move_Interface_Count

from wip_move_txn_interface a,

org_organization_definitions b

where b.operating_unit = 948

and a.organization_id = b.organization_id;

RETURN x_Pending_Material_TXN_Count||'|'||x_Material_TXN_Interface_Count|| '|'||

x_WIP_Move_Interface_Count;

END;

2) Call this newly created function in Select Statement field when defining an

alert.

Code in Select Statement field (use character functions to get appropriate value.):

select substr(test_fun,1,instr(test_fun,'|',1,1)-1) a,

substr(test_fun,instr(test_fun,'|',1,1)+1,

(instr(test_fun,'|',1,2)-instr(test_fun,'|',1,1)-1)) b,

substr(test_fun,instr(test_fun,'|',1,2)+1,(length(test_fun)-instr(test_fun,'|',1,2))) c

into&Pending_Material_TXN_Count,

&Material_TXN_Interface_Count,

&WIP_Move_Interface_Count

from dual

3) Action Details, write mail content in Text field.

4) Add this action to action sets, then run alert.
