if your job server is on Unix then you can use Managment Console to schedule you jobs in cron, DS uses cron to schedule jobs
or you can export the job execution command to a script and schedule that script in cron manually

Can we schedule Loader Jobs (SQL Loader) using Grid Control ?

Can we schedule SQL Loaders jobs/process using Grid Control for 11g database ?
Or
Is it good to schedule it as external jobs using DBMS_SCHEDULER ?
OS is LINUX. Database is 11g R1 Grid Control will be the latest, I believe 10gR3.
Any other suggestions... (I know it can be done using OS utilities like cron and others but that is not an option for now.)
Thanks in advance.

Try this
-> Create a shell script to execute sqlldr
-> On Grid, create an "OS COMMAND" job and pass this script as parameters. You'll have options to schedule this job.
Let us know how it works.

Schedule background Job Programatically at specified date and time

Hi Everybody,
how can i schedule a job in background programatically for a spefic date and time ?
Thanks and Regards
srikanta

Hi Chandrasekhar,
my requirement is :
in selection screen there will be two run mode :
1) Run in Foreground
2) Run in Background
If user selects ' Run in Background ' option , a block will open where user can give
job schedule date and
job schedule time.
Based on this date and time program will be scheduled in background.
I have used like this :
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
      EXPORTING
        jobname                = v_jname
        SDLSTRTDT              = p_date
        SDLSTRTTM              = p_time
      IMPORTING
        JOBCOUNT               = v_jcnt
     EXCEPTIONS
       CANT_CREATE_JOB        = 1
       INVALID_JOB_DATA       = 2
       JOBNAME_MISSING        = 3
       OTHERS                 = 4.
where v_jname is jobname
          v_jcnt   is jobcount
          p_date is schedule date ( taken screen value)
         p_time is schedule time ( taken screen value)
but the job is sxcheduling immediately
Give suggestion.
Thanks in advance.

Create a Variant for the Program and

Go to SM36 create a Job
enter Program and Variant for that program in STEP..
click on Start Condition
Click on DATE and TIME enter date scheduled Start and END times
click on Period Values
Click on HOURLY/WEEKLY etc
CLick on RESTRICTIONS also to use further criteria.
so your job will be scheduled and run as per your requirement.
and in SM37 Transaction check the status of that JOB

How to schedule a job from r3 to BI daily ?

Please let me know how to schedule a job frm bi to r3, that is i want to load data from a sd ds to a sd cube in bi. I do not want to use a PC and can i schedule a job daily without a PC, which can run daily after 10pm ,remember its not a manual schedule. Do we have any option to schedule in hourly, weekly, daily from bi to r3. If yes HOW ? i know we can do it thru infopackage group but will the infopackage group accept if its only a single load....I think it should have multiple infopackage rite to add it to a group or can it b a single job as well.
Edited by: Manohar P on Oct 16, 2008 3:14 PM

An infopackage group can only run infopackages, and unfortunately, you will need an ABAP program to trigger the event in R/3. There is plenty of ABAP code in this forum to show you exactly how to do this.
Try this:
Triggering a Process Chain From R/3 pgm
R/3 Jobs Triggering BW job
You can also review OSS Note 135637. This note will show from R/3 to BI (BW). But you can reverse the logic to go from BI to R/3.
Hope this helps.
My suggestion would be to replace the infopackage group with a process chain, because you can call an ABAP program from a process chain. You also have many more processes at your disposal using process chains.

Scheduling a job in Oracle

Hi ,
how can i schedule a job from Oracle ??
this is what i declared
create or replace PROCEDURE myjob
IS
v_job number;
begin
dbms_job.submit(v_job,
'PLSQL_program_I_want_to_run;',
sysdate,
'sysdate+1/24');
end;
ques :
1. how shld i schedule it to run every 15 minutes ? i saw from somewhere that 1/144 ==> 10 minutes ? i dun quite understand
if 1/24 equals 1 hr
then for 15 minutes
can i do this ((1/60)*15)/24 ??
2. once i execute this procedure manually , it shld be running as per the next sheduled dates ?
3. can this procedure somehow be set in such a way that if oracle db is up after being down for some reasons , this procedure can auto kickoff by itself ?
appreciate ur advise
tks & rdgs

Hi,
If you are using Oracle release 10g or higher you should be using dbms_scheduler instead of dbms_job for several reasons.
1) Scheduling every 15 minutes is much easier with dbms_scheduler e.g.
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
job_name=>'myjob',
job_type=>'plsql_block',
job_action=>'scott.mypackage.myproc(3);',
repeat_interval=>'freq=hourly;byminute=0,15,30,45;bysecond=0',
enabled=>true
2) Now that jobs have real user-specified names, killing them is easier
exec dbms_scheduler.stop_job('myjob')
This will run the job at X:00, X:15, X:30, X:45 as long as the database is running (even after restarts) and you can pick any job_name you want.
This should meet all your requirements. Hope this helps.

Scheduling of jobs

Hi Gurus,
I have an issue regarding scheduling of jobs:
How can we schedule the jobs based upon the colour and raw material structure.
The scenario is , today I have to produce a red colour film (which is a sub assembly for a Parent item) and i have another order for a different Parent item which requires this red colour film , for this the system has suggested a different date. Make a note that this red colour film has different item code for different Parent item .So we have to produce this red film in continuation and also to minimize the losses. How can we achieve this with the help of application .
We don't have the scenario of Make to Stock , every product is customized and Order to Make scenario is applicable here.
Please provide your suggestion . Is build sequence is applicable here , if yes then how?
Thanks in advance.
Sameer

Hi,
Yes I am using Manufacturing Scheduling.
The business scenario is:
We are into flexible packaging industry. Here we produce films : coloured and transparent. The coloured film are of various colours and grade.
So our aim is to club the jobs of same colour and grade in order to minimize the setup losses .
The issue is :system is scheduling the job based on the Delivery dates.
How can we achieve this optimization of losses as the sale orders will be having different delivery dates and schedule.
SInce ATO is not applicable in this industry and it goes on the lines of Make to Order.
We dont have the concept of Forecast here .
I hope i have made myself clear . Please revert if you want to have more information.

Schedule a job for traansaction code not for program

Hi All,
I have a TR Code for aprogram with a screen (not selection screen, not an executable program)
Can we schedule a job for SAP TR Code (not for program name);
Can you confirm this please
Iver

Dear Iver,
You intend to execute that SAP Trxn code in background. You cannot schedule a job. Did you think in background who will populate the values in the screen?
Alternatively, you can create a BDC program & schedule that program.

You can add a timewindow to the jobdefinitions that you call in step 2 and 3, to restrict the start times for these jobs to the desired time.

Hi,
You can do this to get desired results:
Write a small new program that calls the program that you need to run daily by using submit .
The new program can give input of current date to the called program.
Now you can schedule the new program as a daily batch job.

How can u schedule or monitor Bacground jobs from OS level?

Hello,
I was faced one question recently in IBM interview,, How can u schedule or monitor Background Jobs through OS level.anyone pls help me.
regards,
balaram

In my knowledge, for scheduling background jobs in windows we can use scheduler.
In unix flavours, cronjobs or at commands can be used.
Again it depends on which version of OS we use.
hope this helps.
