Cannot drop job - says it's running, but it's not

I did a dbms_scheduler.stop_job (which did not raise any error/warnings), and I killed the database session, but my job is still in user_scheudler_running_jobs view (with null session_id, null cpu_used). When I do a user_scheduler.drop_job, i get an error that the job is running. Any ideas how to get rid of this?
Thanks
Paul.

Hi,
If a job is forcefully stopped it may take a few minutes for it to be marked as no longer running - it should be done when the database cleans up the process.
If it remains running after a few minutes (and is not a chain job) then you may be running into a bug tracked internally as bug #7258928 for which a fix may be available through support.
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

  • Having had the Adobe Flash plugin crash I tried to uninstall firefox to reinstall it but it says it is running but there is not trace of it - windows7

    Using control panel - uninstall - it says it cannot proceed until Firefox closes. I can find no sign of it running but it must be somewhere.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • Once I turn off the browser and then try to use it later, I get a message saying its already running but not responding. tells me to close it which I cant do since its already closed. Forces me to restart my computer

    Each time I start, use and close Firefox, when I try to use it the 2nd time, I get a message saying its already running but not responding. It Isn't. I have to restart my computer everytime I want to use Firefox.

    <u>'''Safe Mode'''</u>
    You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox SafeMode is a diagnostic mode that disables extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    See:
    '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
    '''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
    '''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
    If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

  • Error message: can't install update, firefox is already running, but it is not

    second request
    an auto update failed a few days ago and now everytime I open FF I get an error message that says can't install update, firefox is already running, but it is not!
    the parent.lock file is not open when FF is closed
    in addition to this message, a box opens asking looking for a file
    Help!

    hi
    I had the same problem (update failed for normal user, update worked for administrator, but then normal user still got asked about installing the update even though it was already done).
    Following the advice on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_update#Software_Update_not_working_properly worked for me, in particular to remove the update-related xml files.
    good luck

  • Anyone having issues syncing iPhone with Microsoft Outlook 2007?  iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts.  It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

    Anyone having issues syncing iPhone 3GS with Microsoft Outlook 2007?  iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts.  It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

    I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person struggling with exact issue.  I've rebooted, upgraded, re-installed, pulled all my hair out as nothing works.
    The biggest dissapointment with this thread is that nobody seems to have responded with a solution.
    And yes I've managed to pull together enough intellegence to tick the box "sync to outlook" in iTunes - still nothing man.
    Definately does not sync from phone to PC and is very hit and miss on PC to Phone.  In other words now running 2 seperate calendars - Not helpful Jan.

  • OPMN service still running but Essbase is not

    I have had a few cases of recursion causing Essbase to crash, but the OPMN service still says it's running in the services monitor. Any clues why? Reason I ask is that we have taken the trouble to monitor (and be notified of failures) all Hyperion services. I do know I can address the recursion issue by changing essbase.cfg, but I actually prefer to address each issue as it arises.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kris Calabro

    Thanks for the quick reply John. My issue is not getting it back up and running, but more so not being aware that the service isn't running. I know that's a bit anal, but we've gone through the trouble of setting up "watches" on all Hyperion services to be a bit proactive and would like to see tangible results for those efforts. As it stands now we are made aware when stuff stops working, sometimes through communications from our users.
    Regards,
    Kris Calabro

  • Cloud manager says "up to date" but it's not

    I just signed up for the cloud and intalled already InDesign. Now I wanted to install Photoshop but the App Manager says "Up to date" -BUT IT'S NOT!
    I just have CS5 and it wasn't a problem with the inDesign app... So what can I do?

    Ok.
    In case of Mac please go to Utilities--> Adobe Installers--> search for Photoshop uninstaller and run it.
    This should fix the situation for you.
    If this do not resolve the issue then you need to consider doing a system cleaner using Cs Cleaner tool from http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    Thanks

    There's two different versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE, and the Plugin version for other browsers. Did you install the correct version? This forum's software doesn't thing that Flash is installed for Firefox or the Plugin is disabled.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

    Restart
    If the printer stops during printing, for example because of a power failure, you will need to restart
    the print program.
    1. To do this, choose System   Services   Reporting.
    2. Enter the name of the print program (RFFOUS_C) and select Program   Execute.
    3. Enter the data identifying the print run and enter the check number from which the
    program should be restarted in the Restart field.
    4. Select Program   Execute again.
    If there is a system crash during the print run but before any checks have been printed, you
    should proceed as follows:
    1. Correct the error that caused the system to crash.
    2. Delete the check information. To do this, choose Environment   Check information 
    Delete   For payment run.
    3. Restart the print program but do not use the restart option described above.
    If there is a system crash during the print run and some checks have already been printed, you
    should proceed as follows:
    1. Correct the error that caused the system to crash.
    This error may occur, for example, when a check lot is used up and the next lot has not
    been maintained. In this case, the first thing to do after the system crash is to enter a
    new check lot. See: Maintaining Check Lots [Page 7]
    2. Delete the check information. To do this, choose Environment   Check information 
    Delete   For payment run.
    3. Restart the print program but do not use the restart option described above.
    4. Delete the print output from the print management files.
    5. Now restart the print program, this time using the restart option, (see above).
