Best Regards,

1. Create data model:

Query: The important clause is “AND trunc(abs.start_date) = trunc(sysdate)” it will make sure
that leave is starting today:
SELECT
emp_name.first_name||' '||emp_name.last_name full_name, sup_name.first_name||'
'||sup_name.last_name sup_name,sup_email.email_address,TYP.NAME leave,
ABS.DURATION,
to_char(abs.start_Date,'DD-Mon-yyyy') start_date,
to_char(abs.end_Date,'dd-Mon-yyyy') end_date,
to_char(nvl(submitted_date,notification_date),'dd-Mon-yyyy') notification_DAte,
to_char(abs.ATTRIBUTE_DATE1,'dd-Mon-yyyy') ret_dt,
abs.ATTRIBUTE1 rem,

initcap(DECODE(abs.ABSENCE_STATUS_CD , 'SUBMITTED'
,DECODE(abs.APPROVAL_STATUS_CD,
'APPROVED',DECODE(abs.ABSENCE_STATUS_CD
, 'SUBMITTED' ,DECODE(SIGN(trunc(to_date(sysdate))-trunc(END_DATETIME)),
1,'COMPLETED',0,'INPROGRESS',DECODE(SIGN(trunc(START_DATETIME)-
trunc(to_date(sysdate))),1,
'SCHEDULED','IN PROGRESS'))),'DENIED','DENIED', 'AWAITING' ),
'ORA_WITHDRAWN',DECODE(abs.APPROVAL_STATUS_CD,'APPROVED','CANCELE

and trunc(sysdate) between typ.effective_start_date and typ.effective_end_date

and abs.ABSENCE_STATUS_CD = 'SUBMITTED'
and abs.APPROVAL_STATUS_CD = 'APPROVED'

2. Create Bursting for Data Model:

Split By: EMAIL_ADDRESS (manager email address from data model)

Deliver By: EMAIL_ADDRESS (manager email address from data model)

SQL Query:

SELECT

sup_email.email_address KEY,

'Notification Template' TEMPLATE,

'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,

'en-US' as LOCALE,

'HTML' as OUTPUT_FORMAT,

'EMAIL' as DEL_CHANNEL,

'shahzad.ali@salic.com' as PARAMETER8,

'bipublisher-report@oracle.com' as PARAMETER3,

Initcap(TYP.NAME)||' for '||emp_name.first_name||' '||emp_name.last_name||' started today

('||to_char(abs.start_Date,'DD-Mon-yyyy')||')' as PARAMETER4,

'false' as PARAMETER6,

'shahzad.ali@salic.com' as PARAMETER7

FROM ANC_PER_ABS_ENTRIES Abs ,

ANC_ABSENCE_TYPES_VL TYP,

per_person_names_f emp_name,

per_all_assignments_m emp_asg,

per_assignment_supervisors_f sup_asg,

per_person_names_f sup_name,

per_email_addresses sup_email

WHERE emp_name.person_id = abs.person_id

AND abs.APPROVAL_STATUS_CD = 'APPROVED'

AND emp_name.name_type = 'GLOBAL'

and emp_asg.person_id= abs.person_id

AND emp_asg.assignment_type = 'E'

AND emp_asg.primary_flag = 'Y'

and trunc(sysdate) between emp_name.effective_start_Date and emp_name.effective_end_date

and trunc(sysdate) between emp_asg.effective_start_Date and emp_asg.effective_end_date

and sup_asg.assignment_id = emp_asg.assignment_id

and sup_asg.manager_id = sup_name.person_id

and sup_name.name_type(+) = 'GLOBAL'

and trunc(sysdate) between sup_asg.effective_start_Date and sup_asg.effective_end_date

and trunc(sysdate) between sup_name.effective_start_Date and sup_name.effective_end_date

AND sup_email.person_id(+)= sup_asg.manager_id

AND sup_email.email_type(+)= 'W1'

and ABS.ABSENCE_TYPE_ID = TYP.ABSENCE_TYPE_ID

/*AND upper(TYP.NAME) ='ANNUAL LEAVE'

and abs.person_id = 300000006318107*/

AND trunc(abs.start_date) = trunc(sysdate)

and abs.ABSENCE_STATUS_CD = 'SUBMITTED'

and abs.APPROVAL_STATUS_CD = 'APPROVED'

Things to be noted:

3. Create the report on the basis of this data model with rtf template:
 Notification
Template.rtf
Template:

4. Enable the report Bursting, open report properties:

5. Create the Report Job to schedule this report every day at 7:30 am:

a. Select the report which need to be scheduled:

b. Give the schedule information (Frequency, start date and end date)
6. You can monitor the information about report execution from report
history or job history:
a. BI home page click on Report Job:

b. Click on history to view the job history

One problem is if no record is retrieved (no leave is entered for today) then report job is showing error:

Job processor caused exception

I had seen this can be handled with Job Trigger but system is not saving the data model. Need to check
with Oracle for this issue. Otherwise it is working fine.
