Package Information

   
This package allows:
  • send 'net send' messages from INSIDE your Oracle DB!
  • perfom nbtstat queries from PL/SQL!
  • platform independence - works on UNIX and LINUX as well as MS Windows platforms!
  • easy to install - no configuring of external procedures or loading extra java classes!

The XUTL_NET package provides a simple API that enables the sending of windows 'net send' messages from INSIDE the database regardless of the operating system the database is running on! Unlike certain third party products that require an extra Windows NT4/W2K/XP box to do the sending, this package requires nothing other than an 8i or greater Oracle database.
Just install one package onto the database and you can send messages as easily as writing a SELECT statement! No configuring, no external procedure calls, no extra java classes, no calls to the operating system with extra security headaches!

Try for yourself NOW - download a free trial version here! In less than 5 minutes you can be sending 'net sends' from YOUR Oracle database!

The Trial version only allows the sending of a message up to thirty characters in length, with no spoofing of the sender or receiver text.

The Basic version extends the message length to 128 characters and allows spoofing of both sender and receiver, the Power version will send ANY length message adds the ability to perform nbtstat queries!

Imagine the possible applications; asynchronous notification of:

  • batch job completion
  • print jobs
  • database jobs
  • that long running procedure inside your app

even if the user has LOGGED OUT of your app!

  • easy user-to-user messaging from inside YOUR app!
  • allow INSTANT notification to the DBAs PC of database problems!
  • allow database downtime notification messages to be sent to only those who need to know

 

Prerequisites:

1) an Oracle 8i or greater database
2) NETBIOS to be running over TCP/IP on your network
3) recipient PCs and servers must be either NT4,W2K or XP based (requires the Messenger service to be running). Win9x PCs can also receive messages with winpopup installed.
