 BEGIN
 DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CREATE_ACL(acl         => 'sms.xml',
                                   description => 'SMS Gateway ACL',
                                   principal   => 'SMARTHCM',
                                   is_grant    => true,
                                   privilege   => 'connect');

  DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(acl       => 'sms.xml',
                                      principal => 'SMARTHCM',
                                      is_grant  => true,
                                      privilege => 'resolve'); 

   DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ASSIGN_ACL(acl  => 'sms.xml',
                                   host => 'www.jawalbsms.ws');
   COMMIT;
   END;

/



Note:

  • Where “host” is the SMS Service Provider
  • Where “principal” is the Schema / Database Username where import the database
  • To verify the above script is successfully executed

SELECT * FROM dba_network_acl_privileges;

SELECT * FROM dba_network_acls;

SELECT utl_http.request('www.jawalbsms.ws') FROM dual; (where 'www.jawalbsms.ws' is the service provider URL)

Email Notification Configuration

Connect Sys user with SYSDBA rights and execute following 

GRANT EXECUTE ON UTL_HTTP to &db_user;
GRANT EXECUTE ON UTL_TCP to &db_user;
GRANT EXECUTE ON UTL_SMTP to &db_user;
GRANT EXECUTE ON UTL_INADDR to &db_user;

Connect Sys user with SYSDBA rights and execute following 

begin
  dbms_network_acl_admin.create_acl (
    acl         => 'email_sending.xml',
    description => 'Send Email',
    principal   => '&db_user',
    is_grant    => TRUE,
    privilege   => 'connect',
    start_date   => SYSTIMESTAMP,
    end_date     => NULL
    );
    commit;
end;
/

begin
  dbms_network_acl_admin.add_privilege (
  acl       => 'email_sending.xml',
  principal => '&db_user',
  is_grant  => TRUE,
  privilege => 'connect'
  );
  commit;
end;
/

begin
  dbms_network_acl_admin.assign_acl(
  acl  => 'email_sending.xml',
  host => '*',
  lower_port  => 80,
  upper_port  => 80
  );
  commit;
end;
/

Set System Default "SET_WEBSERVICE" to your webservice address.

Test it using below; 

BEGIN
SET_SEND_EMAIL_PKG.SEND_EMAIL('yourname@gmail.com',
                                              NULL,
                                              GET_SYS_DEFAULT('EMAIL_SERVER_IP'),
                                              GET_SYS_DEFAULT('EMAIL_SERVER_PORT'),
                                              GET_SYS_DEFAULT('EMAIL_FROM'),
                                              'Test Subject',
                                              'Test Message',
                                              NULL,
                                              NULL,
                                              NULL); 
END;


To verify the above script is successfully executed; 

SELECT * FROM DBA_NETWORK_ACLS;
SELECT * FROM DBA_NETWORK_ACL_PRIVILEGES;
SELECT * FROM user_network_acl_privileges;


Note:

  • Where “host” is the IP of the Email Server (‘*’ means auto find the specific email server)
  • Where “principal” is the Schema / Database Username where import the database

Troubleshooting

Following are the solution of possible errors that can occur after installation.
