I have a query which returns multiple results with just data in one column as different for a particular report number. I want to group the results for one report number and send an email to one person for all the action items. Below is my query
<cfquery name="qryCorrectiveDueDate" datasource="#application.config.DSN#">
SELECT FR.report_id,
FR.report_number,
IR.investigation_id,
CA.action_who,
CA.action_who_email,
CA.action_what,
CA.action_when,
CA.action_type,
CA.action_complete_date
FROM xyz_gir.dbo.xyz_flash_report AS FR,
xyz_gir.dbo.xyz_investigation_report AS IR,
xyz_gir.dbo.xyz_corrective_actions AS CA
WHERE FR.report_id = IR.report_id
AND IR.investigation_id = CA.investigation_id
AND DATEDIFF(day,CA.action_when,GETDATE()) > 1
AND CA.action_complete_date IS NULL
ORDER BY IR.investigation_id
</cfquery>
The Result Set looks something like this:
report_id report_number investigation_id action_who action_who_email action_what action_when action_type action_complete_date
2 13-0002 2 Hans-Joerg Wolf [email protected] Action 1 00:00.0 Repair NULL
4 13-0004 3 Robert Michael [email protected] fghfgh 00:00.0 Repair NULL
5 13-0005 4 Masoud Aghel [email protected] sdfsdfsdf 00:00.0 Repair NULL
5 13-0005 4 Masoud Aghel [email protected] hhjghj 00:00.0 Repair NULL
What i want to do is send one email to the action_who_email value for multiple lines with the same investigation id. If i use cfoutput group attribute this is the output:
[email protected]
Report ID: 2
Report Number: 13-0002
investigation id: 2
Action Who :Hans-Joerg Wolf
Action What: Action 1
Action When: 2013-04-26 00:00:00.0
Action type:Repair
Action Complete Date:
[email protected]
Report ID: 4
Report Number: 13-0004
investigation id: 3
Action Who :Robert Michael
Action What: fghfgh
Action When: 2013-05-05 00:00:00.0
Action type:Repair
Action Complete Date:
[email protected]
Report ID: 5
Report Number: 13-0005
investigation id: 4
Action Who :Masoud Aghel
Action What: sdfsdfsdf
Action When: 2013-04-29 00:00:00.0
Action type:Repair
Action Complete Date:
Report ID: 5
Report Number: 13-0005
investigation id: 4
Action Who :Masoud Aghel
Action What: hhjghj
Action When: 2013-04-29 00:00:00.0
Action type:Repair
Action Complete Date:
And This is my cfoutput:
<cfoutput query="qryCorrectiveDueDate" group="investigation_id">
<b>#action_who_email#</b><br>
<cfoutput>
Report ID: #report_id#</br>
Report Number: #report_number#</br>
investigation id: #investigation_id#</br>
Action Who :#action_who#</br>
Action What: #action_what#</br>
Action When: #action_when#</br>
Action type:#action_type#</br>
Action Complete Date: #action_complete_date#</br></br>
</cfoutput></br>
</cfoutput>
But if i do the same thing with cfmail on the query and group it, that throws a javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: 127.0.0.1, port: 25; error.
My CFMAIL code is as below
<cfmail query="qryCorrectiveDueDate" from="[email protected]" to="#action_who_email#" group="#investigation_id#" subject="xyz">
<p>#action_who#,</p>
<p>Due Dates for Corrective Actions for the Incident #report_number# have lapsed </p>
<p>You are receiving this notification, as the Manager/Supervisor to implement the Corrective Actions </p>
<p>Incident No: #report_number# </p>
<p>Corrective Action: #action_what#</p>
<p>Due Date: #action_when#</p>
</cfmail>
Please note that i am running Coldfusion locally with xampp, and although the mails dont get delivered, i can see them in the undelivered folder in coldfusion. The same file has other cfmail tags which do not throw the connection exception if this cfmail tag is commented out. I apologize if my question is very generic, but i either have to do this with coldfusion or i might have to write a function to treat my result set as a temp table. Its easier with coldfusion i believe, if i know how to make this work.
Now that you've removed the hash tags, your issue is likely a missing cfoutput tag in the email. Similar to the group attribute of the cfoutput tag, you need another cfoutput tag to loop through the grouped records.
Tested on CF8 locally.
<cfmail query="q" group="field">
<cfoutput>
#field# - #field2#
</cfoutput>
</cfmail>
