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:

2. 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
D','ORA_WDRWL_PEND'),
ABSENCE_STATUS_CD )) as ABSENCE_DISP_STATUS_CD
FROM ANC_PER_ABS_ENTRIES Abs ,
ANC_ABSENCE_TYPES_VL TYP,
per_person_names_f emp_name,

WHERE emp_name.person_id = abs.person_id
AND abs.APPROVAL_STATUS_CD = 'APPROVED'
AND emp_name.name_type = 'GLOBAL'

3. and trunc(sysdate) between typ.effective_start_date and typ.effective_end_date
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(abs.start_date) = trunc(sysdate)
and abs.ABSENCE_STATUS_CD = 'SUBMITTED'
and abs.APPROVAL_STATUS_CD = 'APPROVED'
2. Create Bursting for Data Model:

4. 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,
sup_email.email_address as PARAMETER1,
'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'

5. 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:

6. Template:
Notification
Template.rtf
4. Enable the report Bursting, open report properties:

7. 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)

8. 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

9. One problem is if no record is retrieved (no leave is entered for today) then report job is showing error:
Job processor caused exception
[INSTANCE_ID=nlfsn1xhen04.nldc1.oraclecloud.com.1471554406742]

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.
