Creating backup Job with DBMS_SCHEDULER

Hello,
Can someone please help me out here:
I'm using Oracle10g release 1 on windowsXP
I'm trying to create a backup job with dbms_scheduler and it's not working.
This is what I did:
I created a job as follows:
BEGIN
dbms_scheduler.create_job (
job_name => 'RMAN_FULL',
job_type => 'EXCUTABLE',
job_action => 'E:\wkdir\rman_bkp',
enabled => TRUE,
start_date => '24-NOV-2007 2:10:00 PM',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=WEEKLY',
comments => 'Full Database Backup');
END;
While rman_bkp is an RMAN command but it wasn't working.
Please where do I get it wrong?
Kindly put me through the EXECUTABLE or should I use PL/SQL_BLOCK and how?
Thanks.
Regards,
Cherish

Hi,
There is a guide to running external jobs using the Scheduler here
Guide to External Jobs on 10g with dbms_scheduler e.g. scripts,batch files
You need to use the full path to a real Windows executable and the arguments to it e.g. for a batch script you would have to do something like
c:\windows\cmd.exe /q /c c:\myscript.bat
There is a forum dedicated to the Scheduler here
Scheduler
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Creating a job with DBMS_SCHEDULE from Forms?

I'm new to DBMS_SCHEDULER. I'd like to run a stored procedure from an Oracle Forms application passing some parameters from the Form to the procedure, then immediately running the procedure and after the procedure has finished dropping it from the job list. The procedure may take some time to run and the user doesn't want to wait before exiting the form. Can this be done?

Sure, no problem. The job will be dropped after termination by default (autodrop). If privileges are ok it should work. Things to think about are error reporting and retries.

Creating a job with arguments

Hi,
This might sound really remedial, but can someone explain to me how I go about creating a job with arguments with programs. It errors out when I try to use DEFINE_PROGRAM_ARGUMENTS and when I try to use SET_JOB_ARGUMENTS_VALUE. Maybe it's the order I do it in. Any directions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Tony

Hi Tony,
Almost any internal error is an Oracle bug and you should report this to support.
This is definitely not supposed to happen and I haven't seen this error before, do you have a test case throwing the error ?
Using program arguments should be fairly straightforward. Here's a simple example with two varchar2 arguments
-- create a stored procedure with two arguments
create or replace procedure myproc (arg1 in varchar2, arg2 in varchar2)
is BEGIN null; END;
-- create a program with two arguments and define both
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_program
program_name=>'myprog',
program_action=>'myproc',
program_type=>'STORED_PROCEDURE',
number_of_arguments=>2, enabled=>FALSE
dbms_scheduler.DEFINE_PROGRAM_ARGUMENT(
program_name=>'myprog',
argument_position=>1,
argument_type=>'VARCHAR2',
DEFAULT_VALUE=>'13');
dbms_scheduler.DEFINE_PROGRAM_ARGUMENT(
program_name=>'myprog',
argument_position=>2,
argument_type=>'VARCHAR2');
dbms_scheduler.enable('myprog');
end;
-- create a job pointing to a program and set both argument values
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job('myjob',program_name=>'myprog');
dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value('myjob',1,'first arg');
dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value('myjob',2,'second arg');
dbms_scheduler.enable('myjob');
end;
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Creating batch job with 5 classes

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I have to do five different operations at different time instances.
1.Generate a report at morning 11.00 AM.
2.update a table with more than 6000 rows at night 12.30 AM
3.Generate a second report querying from the database at 10.00 AM Everyday.
4.Generate an automail at 11.30 Am Everyday
All these are plain Java classes and not web components. How could I effectively design the batch job so that it doesnot take nmuch memory and design classes so that they must be reusable like DB connection,Getting a db field value frequently etc.
Can any one help me on this.

Creating Oracle Job with Task Scheduler

Hi,
Platform: Oracle10g R2, Windows 2003 Server
I have the below script on my Linux server that backups up the database. It's run via crontab.
--------------- script ---------------------
-- Environment variables goes here
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
./rman target / <<EOF
startup mount;
backup database plus archivelog delete input;
delete noprompt obsolete;
alter database open;
I want something similar I can do on windows like .bat file that I can schedule to run via Task Scheduler.
Any help please?
Thnaks and regards,
Creems

Hi AG,
I tried to do that but it's not working.
But I did something similar for auto-delete of flashback logs and it works but the backup thing aint working.
What can I do?
Here is what I did for the auto-flashback delete
=======
RunSQL.bat
=======
-- content of RunSQL.bat
@ECHO OFF
TITLE Resetting Flashback Logs
CLS
ECHO Please be patient. This will take some time.
ECHO.
ECHO.
SET ORACLE_SID=PROD

ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO FLASHBACKs reset. Please continue with your other procedures.

connect /nolog
conn sys/oracle as sysdba
SHOW USER
shutdown immediate
startup mount
alter database flashback off;
alter database flashback on;
alter database open;
SHOW USER
exit
This works, but when I did the same with RMAN backup it doesn't.
Any more help please?
Thanks and regards,

Event job with dbms_scheduler after dml on table

is is possible to start an event job using dbms_schduler every time a record is inserted or updated in a table?
After a dml statement that job has to start an external command (a shell script).
In few words, a dml statment can be the event?

It would scale badly, but yes, when you are looking for methods to develop a disaster application, this is one of the ways to do it. It is definitely possible. But it has BAD IDEA inscribed all over it.
When you insist on misusing Oracle for things it was not designed for you may want to consider calling O/S commands using Java. Examples on http://asktom.oracle.com

Create backup router with licenses.encrpty on both R1 and R2

What is the best way to copy a router config from one router to another router. The second will be our back-up router ready for any outage. We have SSL and IPSec VPN with licensing on both devices. I want R2 to be very much alike R1. If I just transfer the configuration, my licenses become corrupted. Any advice is greatly appreciated. We have two 891k9 routers with advanced services.
JP

You say you have licensing on both routers, is that also the SSL-license ore only the security-license? If you don't have the SSL-llicense on the secondary router, then you have to contact cisco as Leo said.
But if both routers are fully licensed, then you should be able to transfer the config from one router to the other. If that doesn't work, please show us *exactly* what you did. Best with a copy/paste of the terminal session.

Job with multiple event schedules

Is it possible to create a job with multiple schedules? Can you have multiple schedule names?
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'my_new_job2',
job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action => 'BEGIN SALES_PKG.UPDATE_SALES_SUMMARY; END;',
schedule_name => 'my_saved_schedule, my_saved_schedule2'); <------------------ like this?
END;
thanks.

I am using oracle 10g and have installed the file arrival package. I want my job to run when multiple files arrive. I have created the file arrival event schedules. I know i can create chain event steps to respond, but my chain has to be running for the steps to respond to the events. I want the chain (or rather the job that starts the chain) to kick off when 2 or more files arrive.
thanks.

Hi Ravi,
Thank you for your kind support
That issue has been solved. Problem was with the event queue and only for that particular job i mentioned in the first post (I was able to create other jobs with different Events using the same queue) . After recreating the event queue i am able to create the same job. I got the same error when I tired to drop the queue, and then I dropped the queue table itself. Do you have any idea about what might had caused the issue?
Thanks

Jobs with a startevent and starttime

hello,
I'd like to plan a job in an abap program which is started when an event is raised or a certain timespan
has passed.
When planing the job by using the functionmodules job_open, job_submit and and job_close I can supply an event and a startdate but the implementation of the functionmodules ignores the event when the startdate parameter is supplied.
Is there a workaround to enable event triggered jobs with a startdate which is used if the event is not raised within a certain timespan or do I really hav to use 2 jobs?
thanks
Roman

Hello Roman
I think you have to use 2 jobs, but if you use 2 jobs with the same program the program may run twice.
You could create 1 job with your program that is started by event and 1 job with a startdate/time that runs a program that raise the event.
best regards

How to create a JOb

Hi Experts,
Previously i waw using bdc and was creating session.
Now in place of BDC i am using BAPI .
Now i cannot create a session so i am creating a job.
Problem is that when i use bapi the record is created at same time.
So before execting Job using transaction SM37
the records gets created.
Can any body please explain me how to solve this issue.
Thanks & regards,
Chetan

Hi chetan,
To create a new batch job you can go to transaction Sm36,wherein you can define the job name,job class and target server..then you can go to start condition and select whether it is a periodic job,or immediate job and accordingly you can schedule the job..Also the very important thing is in the Step funtion you should have valid ABAP program or any external program which should be used at the background...
If you know the program then you can go to SE38 and create a variant for that program which can be later used in the newly created job.You can also copy an existing job and modify it according to the requirement by checking the job details in SM37.
Just to summarise the Key transactions are : SM36 and SE38.
JOB_OPEN: Create a Background Processing Job
Use JOB_OPEN to create a background job. The function module returns the unique ID number which, together with the job name, is required for identifying the job.
Once you have "opened" a job, you can add job steps to it with JOB_SUBMIT and submit the job for processing with JOB_CLOSE.
For more information, please see the online documentation in the function module facility (transaction SE37)
Sample Program: Creating a Job with JOB_OPEN
Create your job with JOB_OPEN. The module returns a unique job
number. Together with the jobname, this number identifies the
job. Other parameters are available, but are not required.
JOBNAME = 'Freely selectable name for the job(s) you create'.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
JOBNAME = JOBNAME
IMPORTING
JOBCOUNT = JOBNUMBER
EXCEPTIONS
CANT_CREATE_JOB = 01
INVALID_JOB_DATA = 02
JOBNAME_MISSING = 03
OTHERS = 99.
IF SY-SUBRC > 0.
<Error processing>
ENDIF.

Backup jobs and password changing problem

Hi
I have created few rman job in my db (11.2) to backup database.
I my company i have to change all system passwords (os - oracle, system, syman, etc...) every 90 days.
When i changing password for user who created backup jobs, this jobs stop working.
I,ve got "Invalid username and/or passworderror writing input to command" error.
Of course after changing passords i always setup "Preferred Credentials" but that dosn't help.
What am i doing wrog? What am i missing ?
Please advice.

If you use Preferred Credentials to authorize a Job, it will use the current credentials on the moment it is dispatched for execution.
This means that in case passwords changes, you just need to modify you preferred credentials
This is something you can do using EMCLI (command line interface) in a script for instance (or just use the GUI to modify)
