Sending Email Using Application Engine (XML Publisher Report as Attachment)

Our understanding of XML Publisher are getting broader. There are a lot that you can do with this tool, I decided to incorporate the email functionality of PeopleSoft with the XML Publisher. How would you like if the batch thatproduced report output last night can be emailed to you automatically? I know a lot of people would love that!

With our knowledge on how to code XMLP report, we will just add codes to our existing PeopleCode in XML Publisher Part 2 that tells the PeopleSoft to send that report to an email. Here's the code (added codes are in bold text).
import PSXP_RPTDEFNMANAGER:*;
import PSXP_XMLGEN:*;
import PT_MCF_MAIL:*;

/*Create an email object by setting individual parameters*/
Local PT_MCF_MAIL:MCFOutboundEmail &eMail = createPT_MCF_MAIL:MCFOutboundEmail();

&sRptDefn = "JOB_DEFN";
&sTemplateId = "JOB_TEMP";
&sLangCode = "";
&dtAsOfDate = %Date;
&sOutputFmt = "PDF";
&RptOutputDir = "c:\temp\" "XMLP";

&ReportDef.OutDestination = &RptOutputDir;

/*Set-Up Report*/
&ReportDef = create PSXP_RPTDEFNMANAGER:ReportDefn(&sRptDefn);
&ReportDef.Get();

/*Create Rowset*/
&rs = CreateRowset(Record.PERSONAl_DATA);

/*Fill Rowset*/&rs.FILL("WHERE FILL.EMPLID LIKE 'EID000%'");

/*Create Schema*/
&rds = create PSXP_XMLGEN:RowSetDS(); /*package method*/
&mySchema = &rds.GetXSDSchema(&rs);
&f1 = GetFile("c:\temp\JOB_XSD.xsd", "W", %FilePath_Absolute);
&f1.WriteLine(&mySchema);
&f1.Close();

/*Create Sample XML File*/
&myXMLFile = &rds.GetXMLData(&rs, "c:\temp\JOB_XSD.xsd");
&f2 = GetFile("c:\temp\JOB_XML.xml", "W", %FilePath_Absolute);
&f2.WriteLine(&myXMLFile);
&f2.Close();

/* output format */

/*Provide a Data Source for the Report*/
&ReportDef.SetRuntimeDataRowset(&rs);

/*Generate the Report*/
&ReportDef.ProcessReport(&sTemplateId, %Language_User, %Date, &sOutputFormat);

/*Publish the Report*/
&ReportDef.Publish("", &RptOutputDir, "XMLP", JOB_AET.PROCESS_INSTANCE);
&sFileExt = GetFileExtension(&sOutputFormat);

/*Body for multiple parts*/

Local PT_MCF_MAIL:MCFMultiPart &mp = createPT_MCF_MAIL:MCFMultiPart();
&mp.AddBodyPart(&text);
&mp.AddBodyPart(&attach);
&eMail.Multipart = ∓

/*Override the default SMTP parameters specified in app server configuration file*/
&eMail.SMTPServer = "smtp.service.acme.com"; /*just an example*/
&eMail.SMTPPort = 25; /*usually this is 25 by default*/

Local integer &resp = &eMail.Send();
/*now check &resp for the result*/
