What are the steps to create a simple Periodic or Event Alert to send an email?
How to check if Oracle Alerts formulated the email?
Solution
PERIODIC Alert
Note:
Select Statement: Example shown is to ensure to receive one row / exception.
Click 'Run' to see the expected number of rows.
Click 'Verify' to check the Select syntax.
Keep Days: Enter a number greater than zero to capture history / diagnosis information.
Last Checked: This will populate with a date when the Alert is successfully run.
2. Select Actions button:
Note:
Enter a simple 'an1' action name, click 'Action Details'.
Text: Display the variable &OUTPUT1 defined in the Select Statement.
3. Select Action Sets button:
Note:
Inputs tab will be empty.
Outputs tab will show &OUTPUT1.
Choose a different action set name than the action name to better distinguish between the
two.
Do not select 'Exit Action Set Successfully'.
4. Select Alert Details button:
Note:
Inputs tab will be empty.
Outputs tab will show &OUTPUT1.
'APPS' should only show for the Oracle ID. The Operating Unit is not needed for
Periodic Alerts.
Done entering Alert, click 'save' and exit.
EVENT Alert
Note:
Select Statement: Example shown is to ensure to receive one row / exception.
Click 'Run' to see the expected number of rows.
Click 'Verify' to check the Select syntax.
Keep Days: Enter a number greater than zero to capture history / diagnosis information.
Last Checked: This will populate with a date when the Alert is successfully run.
You can choose either After Insert, After Update or both.
2. Select Actions button:

Enter a simple 'an1' action name, click 'Action Details'.
Text: Display the variable &OUTPUT1 defined in the Select Statement.
3. Select Action Sets button:

'APPS' should only show for the Oracle ID. The Operating Unit is required for Event
Alerts.
To determine which OU to choose, navigate to the form where the event table will be
changed. Then from the Menu: Edit / Preferences / Profiles, query: MO%.
Done entering Alert, click 'save' and exit.
1. There will be a concurrent request generated for the Alert. Navigate to Request >
View.
Note:
This shows typical output with the action and action set being executed.
Note:
See the request id, time it ran and how many exceptions (rows) and actions performed.
Note:
If the email is formatted and shown in the Action log, then Oracle Alerts has successfully
sent the email to the email client.
Check the Workflow Mailer if email has not arrived in the Inbox.
