OBIEE password protect analysis send via e-amil using an agent - agent

I want to e-mail an OBIEE analysis using an agent. It will be mailed as an excel attachment. The e-mail is not the problem, but how can I configure the file to be password protected?

You cannot do it out of the box. You will have to write a Java application that could set the password. Have a look at the following blog post - http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/09/oracle-bi-ee-11g-action-framework-java-ejbs-and-pdf-watermarks/
Though the blog post above does not give you the solution but at least gives an idea what you will have to do.
Regards.

Google Apps Script to open password-protected Excel?

Is there a way for Google Apps Script to open a password-protected Excel file if the password is supplied when getting the file? I don't see any DriveApp method that accepts a "password" parameter.
If not, then can this be implemented using the Google Drive API? Is there a "password" key I can use in an "options" object of a gapi.client.drive.files.get() or a similar method?
No, that is not possible with Apps Script or Google APIs at this time.
You can always file a feature request in Google's Issue Tracker with something along the lines of "Support Excel Password functionality in Drive / Sheets API". From what I could see, there are no existing feature requests for this isssue.
The latest news that I could find, that Google have published about password protected files is this blog post, which mentions that now you can preview password protected items in Drive.
The guides Google provide here and here regarding Microsoft Office files detail the functionality that is available. Yet none of it refers to Apps Script, APIs or passwords.
The only possible workaround I can think of is to un-protect them with VBA or other language before they are uploaded to Drive, or send them to an app that can deal with them and send them back (I know, that may be painful).

Send EMail in Sharepoint Online 2013

I want to send an Email in Sharepoint online. I used the following method to send the mail using the Event reciever.
SPUtility.SendEmail(SPContext.Current.Web, headers, bodyText.ToString());
But it does not work with sharepoint online 2013.
After reading in the articles I got to know that SPUtility method cannot be used. Please provide me a solution to send mail through event reciever. I am creating it as a Sandbox Solution.
Can we Use Microsoft Exchange Server? How Can I use it?
Thanks for the helps!
You could use a workaround by leveraging the SendMail activity in a workflow. This is also explained here: Guru Tip: Sending an Email in Office 365.
Unfortunately using this workflow workaround will be your only choice as both SPUtility.SendEmail as well as System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient are not allowed in Sandboxed solutions which is also explained in this post: Send email via code in Office365
How to import Emails or part of the Email data to Sharepoint libraries or Sharepoint lists you can find on "The smart way from mailbox to Sharepoint". It works fine for Sharepoint online.

using mail server to communicate with jira using api

im new to jira and its mail handlers.i want to use the jira's mail handlers to scan two folders in my mail box.and update two projects related to those folders. and i did that.
but now i want to extend that functionality.i want to keep the mails in those folders (stop mail handlers from deleting it after processing) and make it able to move issues/tasks across projects simply by moving the associated mail from the folder to the other folder. resulting in deletion of the original issue/task from that project and creating it in the other folder. please help in making this a possibility.
for those who didnt understand my problem: imagine im sending a cv for the post of php developer to a mail. when the reciepent checks it, he puts it in the php folder in his mailbox.so then a task is created in the project php developers. but next the reciepents thinks im more suitable in web developement rather than in php. so he just moves the mail from php folder to the web folder.so the existing task in php project gets deleted and a new task is created under web developement project. can i do this? if so how? please guide me..
Update
sigh..
i dont know how to work with corporate people. now the situation has changed. i hope you could help me with this one.sorry about the sudden change in the question..again...
now my boss wants sth like this.
i created a mail client using imap function to access mail services and retrieve those mails to a web function. theres no problem in that. but now my boss wants to handle jira through that same app aswell. means as like the my question when moving, putting a mail to a folder the app it self should comunicate with jira and make the necesary issue creation and deletion.. is this possible #Kuf?? if so please help. because my deadline is due Wednesday. and im almost there to panic..lol..please forgive me for changing questions like this. as it is not my will..
edit
I have seen that rest api does this. but how to use it? any answers?
The simplest way I found was to receive the emails in your main account and forward them to a second account, while saving a copy on the mail server. Than, tell Jira to pull the emails from the second email.
UPDATE
In the past, I've looked for a way to change Jira's email handler functionality, as you can see in this question here. It is impossible to achieve what you're asking using Jira's email handler because the way it works, it does not keep records of which emails were already read, Jira's service checks for new emails, ignores emails according the pre-defined filters (spam or user defined), handles the rest of the emails, and deletes them so it won't process them again.
The way I can think of to get the functionality you want is to re-write the email handler, you can get the source code, re-write it, and build it into your Jira app.
Another way, which i find easier, is to get all the emails into Jira, and from within Jira move the issues from one project to another. You can even create pre-defined buttons using Jira Scripting Suite to easily move issues between projects (create a post function and attach it to workflow transition).
If you need any help let me know. Good luck!
EDIT 2
Which Jira version do you use? which actions are you planning to do using the remote API? Jira REST API is the newest, but some of the old APIs have capabilities that are lacking in REST. To try and decide which API suits you, have a a look at JIRA Remote API Reference.
If you decide to use the REST API, I suggest that you read Jira's Getting Started with REST manual, which shows how to use the REST API. For the full documentation check out JIRA REST API documentation (make sure to use the right version according to your Jira version).

SharePoint - set reply-to in a workflow

I have my SharePoint server set to send e-mails from a dedicated e-mail box. However, I have a workflow that sends an e-mail out to a particular group, and I want replies from that group to go instead to a different e-mail box.
I know that BCC is a hidden field in a workflow that can be changed; I don't see anything for reply-to. So I'm not sure that there's an easy way to do it. What options do I have? I know there's a tool on CodePlex that does a lot with e-mail activities, but I think that might be overkill.
I appreciate any suggestions, advice, etc. Thanks very much!
Basically, you can't specify a reply-to email address using SharePoint Designer out of the box. Since it is a workflow, you can create a Custom Workflow action that would allow you to do anything you want (including send an email with a reply-to address). This is a pretty involved process and will require C# code.

How do I put a File (Excel) online (Apache Server) with Password Protection but with the Option for Users to alter the File and save the changes?

I have to put an excel file online on a web server (Apache) with some basic password protection (basic http auth). User, however, should be able to open the file from within excel and save their changes back to the server.
Is there any simple and effective solution for it? I am not very experienced with webdav.
Maybe use Google Docs to share the document. That would be as turn-key as it gets. :)
Funny enough, if you just need "basic-level" security, you can set it up in the Excel sheet itself:Go to the Tools -> Protection menu and you can lock down the whole sheet, or just specific ranges.Note This is not "really good" security and will not stand up against an even moderately-skilled attack...but it will pass muster for the most basic uses.
Webdav can do this. Might be a hassle to set it up.
