DBMS_JOB problems

Application Express 3.2.1.00.10
I have an odd problem with the dbms job and a package that sends email.
Initially, I had a job running every Monday at 8 AM to run a package that send out E-Mails of any pending events. That was running just fine. I had a request to tweak the e-mail body to include a new field. Changes were made and the package was uploaded. Now, the system sends two e-mails, one in the old format and the other in the new format.
We tried deleting the running jobs and restarted it again but it still sends out two emails.
Any idea on how to troubleshoot this?

I had mistaken the dbms_schedular with dbms_job. DBMS_JOB is where I have the problem.

Ah, I'm sorry I got the two confused. The dbms_job is what I'm having the problem in. I changed the Subject Line to reflect the correction.
I had IT kill the job and restart it.

Oracle 8.0.5.1 EE DBMS_JOB Problem

I am running Oracle 8.0.5.1 EE on Redhat Linux version 6.1 with the glibcpatch applied.
I have come across a problem with regular execution of submitted jobs.
I submit a job(any job) and when execution time comes, it fails. I have dbms_job setup correctly for the database. The init.ora parameters are set correctly and the snp process is running.
I know the job is valid because I can force a job to run using the dbms_job.run procedure.
This tells me everything is running fine. However, when the execute time is reached, the user_jobs table shows a failure.
I have tried the same exact procedure and job on Oracle 8.0.5 EE on Solaris and it works fine.
I am at a loss of what to do next to resolve this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Dbms_Job problem...........urgent

I have scheduled a job, which should get fired after every 10 sec. Code as follows:
SQL> begin
2 dbms_job.submit(:jobno,
3 'my_pgm;',
4 SYSDATE + 10/86400,
5 'SYSDATE + (10/86400)',
6 FALSE);
7 COMMIT;
8 end;
9 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Problem here is : It does not get fired automatically after ever 10 sec. But if I execute explicitly i.e.
Execute Dbms_job.run(21); -- 21 is Job no for above scheduled job.
This was it works fine.
Additional info :
select last_date,last_sec ,NEXT_DATE,next_sec ,failures,broken from user_jobs
where job = 21;
Output is :
LAST_DATE LAST_SEC NEXT_DATE NEXT_SEC FAILURES B
04-MAR-2002 11:59:27 04-MAR-2002 11:59:37 0 N
Can anybody help me? Why it is not getting fired automatically? What should be done more?

An SNP process can run one job at a time with a maximum of ten SNP processes
running simultaneously. The INIT.ORA initialization file contains three
parameters that control the behavior of the SNP processes:
Parameters
JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES
How many processes to start.
If set to zero, no jobs are executed.
Default is 0. Range is 0..10.
JOB_QUEUE_INTERVAL
How long an interval the process will sleep before checking for a new job.
Default is 60 sec. Range is 1..3600 sec.
JOB_QUEUE_KEEP_CONNECTIONS
Controls whether an SNP process closes any remote database connections. Default is False. Range is True/False.

Dbms_jobs problem

Hi all,
I have an issue with jobs in oracle.
I have run a job in using dbms_job.submit...
Now when i query user_jobs it shows one row for that perticular procedure.
The column "*Failures*" of table user_jobs has value =1
I think my job has failed.
Where to see the reason for failure.
Is oracle mainain error message thrown from oracle jobs.

To APC,
I dont have access to alert log..
Is there other way like log table which has details of dbms_jobs exceptions???

DBMS_JOB on Java Stored Procedure problem

Hi all,
(running on Oracle 9i : 9.2.0.7.0 64bit on HP/UX)
I have a Java Stored procedure that reads a table
One of the fields in this table is a CLOB containing some more SQL.
We then executeQuery() that SQL (and e-mail the output).
(Obviously I also have PL/SQL wrapper around it, which we'll call PROCNAME).
For certain pieces of SQL, this second executeQuery() fails throwing ORA-00942, but only when run from a DBMS_JOB(!).
Calling "CALL PROCNAME('argument')" from sqlplus/toad works fine, but setting "PROCNAME('argument')" to run as a DBMS Job fails on some SQL with the above error. (All as the same username).
java.lang.StackTraceElement doesn't seem to exist in Oracle java, so the only error I have to go on is e.getMessage() from SQLExecption which returns:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Any help at this strangeness would be appreciated!
nic

Hi Cris:
May be is a problem of the effective user which is running the procedure.
Which is the auth_id directive at the PLSQL call spec?
Look at this example procedure UploadNews for example:
http://dbprism.cvs.sourceforge.net/dbprism/cms-2.1/db/cmsPlSqlCode.sql?revision=1.21&view=markup
this procedure calls to the cmsNews.doImport which is implemented as Java Stored Procedure.
Also check if your loadjava operation is not using -definer flag.
Best regards, Marcelo.

No specific grant needed. By default public has execution right on DBMS_JOB.
Example:SQL> create user user1 identified by user1;
User created.
SQL> grant create session to user1;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> connect user1/user1
Connected.
SQL> declare
2     i       integer;
3 begin
4      DBMS_JOB.Submit( i, 'begin NULL; end;', SYSDATE+(1/24/60) );
5     commit;
6 end;
7 /
SQL> select job, what from user_jobs;
       JOB WHAT
       843 begin NULL; end;
.. and after a minute..
SQL> select job, what from user_jobs;
no rows selectedThus the bare minimum of a CREATE SESSION is needed to submit a PL/SQL job - not even CREATE PROCEDURE rights are needed.
Sanity check. Repeat the above. Create a job that has BEGIN NULL; END; as the body. Submit it. Check for errors.

Problems with DBMS_JOB - not running jobs

Hello,
for some reason our Database (after night restart - shutdown at 23:00, startup at 0:20) stopped to run jobs from DBMS_JOB. I've enabled them manually (DBMS_JOB.RUN(2334)) - but they still not run after reaching the NEXT_DATE,NEXT_SEC time.
I've noticed that:
select * from dba_scheduler_global_attribute where ATTRIBUTE_NAME='CURRENT_OPEN_WINDOW';
ATTRIBUTE_NAME VALUE
CURRENT_OPEN_WINDOW TUESDAY_WINDOW
Current day of week is wednesday not tuesday - and I think that is the reason.
I've tried this statement:
SQL> execute DBMS_SCHEDULER.CLOSE_WINDOW(WINDOW_NAME => 'TUESDAY_WINDOW');
BEGIN DBMS_SCHEDULER.CLOSE_WINDOW(WINDOW_NAME => 'TUESDAY_WINDOW'); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00449: background process '' unexpectedly terminated with error
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_ISCHED", line 347
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 968
ORA-06512: at line 1
Is there any other way to fix this problem without restart of database?
Thank you for any help
Best regards

Manually execute the job and let it run itself beginning next Tuesday.

DBMS_JOBS interval problems

Hi all,
We have 2 jobs running since a year, in the version ORACLE 8i, 8.1.7.0, recently i have applied patch and upgraded to 8.1.7.4. i dont know when this problem started after 20 days after my upgradation i found my job is not running properly, here is the result from user_jobs.
LAST_DATE LAST_SEC NEXT_DATE NEXT_SEC TOTAL_TIME B INTERVAL
19-NOV-04 09:03:07 20-NOV-04 17:30:33 410 N trunc(sysdate+1)+9/24 .
last datetime is 19th around 9AM, next date why it is showing 20th 17.30 PM, my interval is trunc(sysdate+1)+9/24 . is there any possibility we can see what problems occured while running job?
2nd job also problem
LAST_DATE LAST_SEC NEXT_DATE NEXT_SEC TOTAL_TIME B INTERVAL
20-NOV-04 00:15:16 21-NOV-04 23:45:00 308 N trunc(sysdate+1)+23.75/24 .
while i wanted job everyday to be run at 23.45 PM.
Please where the problm? is ther e any LOG to see?
Thanks in advance

What do the broken and failures columns of user_jobs say? Could it be that the job has failed and the next_date and next_sec are showing the next automatic re-try?

AQ and Statspack installation problem because DBMS_JOB pkg locked

Hi,
I'm trying to install statspack on our 9.2.0.6 EE database, but getting error when DBMS_JOB pkg need to be recompiled (timeout when trying to obtain lock on dbms_job pkg) . That Database has have AQ usage , and its impossible to aquire lock on DBMS_JOB pkg.
How to circumvent that issue ?

Ok, whats the impact on database ? I suppose all aq begin to fill up.
Any other side effects ?
I'm not familiar with AQ technology, so forgive maybe naive questions.

Problem with DBMS_JOB

Hi I've created a job with the following block:
DECLARE
wprogname varchar2(100);
start_date date;
winterval varchar2(100);
wjobno NUMBER;
BEGIN
wprogname := 'GSA.JOB_TEST2;';
start_date := SYSDATE;
winterval := 'SYSDATE+2/1440';
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(wjobno, wprogname, start_date , winterval,false,1,true);
COMMIT;
END;
This should be running for every 2 minutes. But it is running for every 45 mins to 1 hr or so.... Could some one suggest me a solution for this. I need to run this job for every 2 mins.....Last time it ran at 2:28 PM and the next_date shows is 2:30 PM. But the job ran at 3:30. Now the next_date shows as 3:32 PM, but it didn't ran at that time. Please suggest.

Hi!
Pls check the following code --
VARIABLE jobno number;
BEGIN
   DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(job => :jobno,
                   what => 'begin p1; end;',
                   next_date => SYSDATE,
                   interval => 'SYSDATE + 2/1440');
   commit;
END;

Problem with dbms_job.run

Guys,
I've written a simple PL\SQL program to schedule a job once in every 30 seconds.
After that I ran that job SQL> begin

Thanks Guys.
My application access an Oracle server residing in a remote network.
I've an Oracle job residing in the server,and doing the task of updating a document in my C drive every 3 minutes.
If I disconnect the remote network and get connected back at a later time,Would the job the marked as broken?
Or would it carry on with its job every 3rd minute,after I get network connected back?
Can someone throw ideas?
Thanks,

Problem with Latches and Parallelising PL/SQL Cursors

In 9i i have process that do the following:
PROCEDURE LoadClients IS
CURSOR cChanges IS
    SELECT ...
    WHERE MOD(PK,pnTotalJobs>) = pnThisJob To call this I do the following
nTOTALJOBS CONSTANT := 2;
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..nTOTALJOBS LOOP
    DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(LoadClient(pnTotalJobs=>nTOTALJOBS, pnThisJob=>i-1));
END LOOP;
COMMIT;So by changing the value of the constant - nTOTALJOBS - I can control the number of instances of LoadClient that run. This means I only need one procedure which can be called multiple times, making maintenance simpler than having multiple procedures.
This process has been running successfully on several procedures of over a year. However recently I have been having trouble with latches in memory. I think these are related to using the variables in the cursor and part of the oracle treating the different queries as being identical. This results in locks in memory and none of the jobs running. In most cases I'm setting nTOTALJOBS to 2. I'm looking into the further with my DBAs.
My questions are:
1. Has anyone come across this sort of problem before?
2. If so is there something I can do in my code or DB parameters to alleviate or test this?
Notes.
1. The process uses row by row processing in PL/SQL This done to get row by row error handling. I'm not going to change this in the short-term
2. The SQL does a call over a database link, I don't know if this has any effect.
3. This method does have a proven performance benefit
4. The code snippets above are just illustrative, I'm not asking for syntax corrections.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this.

I would first investigate the "problem with latches" to be sure that it has anything to do with these jobs that you are submitting.
Your concern seems to be "because I am submitting multiple copies of the same PLSQL procedure to run concurrently, am I running into latching issues ?".
Take a step back and look at
a. MultiUser OLTP environments : At any time you can have more than a few users running the same SQL queries submitted through Forms / Client Frontends.
b. ERP Report Extractions (eg in Oracle EBusiness Suite or Peoplesoft) : At any time (say during the daily batch runs ?) you can have multiple copies of the same report (with different bind variables for different business_units / countries etc) running concurrently and extracting reports.
The question would be : How many concurrent executions of the same code is too much ?
I would say that latching issues come up on :
a. Shared Pool : Multiple sessions attempting to load SQL statements and Parse SQL statements
You could reduce some of this with reusable SQLs and bind variables instead of literals in quick running jobs / user front end screens etc
b. Buffer Cache : Hot Blocks being frequently pinned -- eg index root blocks or "busy" table blocks.
If you are running, say 4-8 concurrent copies of the the same code on a 4 CPU or 8 CPU machine, you may not be running into latching issues on the code -- "may not be" -- we can't be too sure, until we identify which latches are under "issue".
However, if the queries are executing nested loops and frequently accessing the same index blocks, you may more likely be having issues with latches on cache buffer chains.
So, this is what I would suggest :
a. Identify the size and scale of the "issues" -- how much CPU time / wait time is accounted for by the latches in relation to the total response time of each of the jobs
b. Identify which latches are the ones under contention
c. On the basis of which latches are the holding up performance, decide your next course of action.

Problem running Oracle Portal to Go (Oracle9i 1.0.2.0.0)

I have installed Oracle9i Application Server WE 1.0.2.0.0 Standard Edition on Windows2000 Professional Edition. I am getting problems regarding running Portal to Go.
The installer said that installation was successful. Moreover I have done the configuration tasks mentioned Oracle9i installation guide under post installation steps for Oracle9i.
But Oracle Portal to Go is not running and returning error message. Are there some other tasks still to perform to configure the Oracle Portal to Go Standard Edition?
Here it is a brief Description of what I have done with the installations process
System: Pentium II 500 MHZ with 256 MB RAM and 15 GB Hard Disk so enough space available for installations.
Windows 2000 professional was freshly installed
All pre installation tasks are done like paging file size is 896MB
Important Installation steps and points are as under (Standard Edition of Oracle 9i Application Server 1.0.2.0.0):
I followed all the steps given in Oracle 9i AS installation guide
On Windows 2000 Installer never asks for reboot before actually installing the Oracle 9i application server (Chapter 4 of installation guide: preparing system for installation: step5: page 5 of 25). So I manually reboot the system
During installation when I reached Database Access Descriptor (DAD) for Oracle Portal. In TNS connect string field for Apache listener Configuration I entered the same name (abc) (chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step2, 3: page 10,11 of 25) as I was going to use for my Global database name later at database Identification steps (chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step 4: page 12 of 25)
Note: In an other installation I left the same fields (TNS connect string) blank but of no use.
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
When installation of Oracle9i AS reaches 100% installer opens a command prompt and displays
ORA: 12541 TNS: No Listener
Enter user name:
When I enter SYSTEM as a user name it displays
Password:
I entered manager as password and then it displays
ORA 12560: TNSProtocol adaptor error
And once again it asks for user name and password
I once again enter system as a user and manager as password.
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
After 100% completion of the installation the configuration tools screen appears
(Chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step 10: page 17 of 25) and the following tasks are performed
Net8 configuration Assistant succeeds
Oracle database configuration assistant succeeds
When The Oracle portal 3.0 configuration Assistant Starts
I hold the installation steps for oracle portal for a while and do some database configuration tasks that are necessary (may be some are not) for installation of portal.
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
For example
Increase the table space size of Users (400 MB), and Temp (100MB) table spaces.
Validated invalid PL/SQL Modules with ULTRP.SQL script
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
Installed dbms_job.sql package as it was mentioned in another guide (Oracle portal-to-Go installation Guide- Release1.0.2: Page 1: last line)
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
Stopped the database and listener
And did some changes as was asked in Oracle portal-to-Go installation Guide- Release1.0.2
Edited the init<SID>.ora file and set the following fields
aq_tm_processes = 1
job_queue_processes = 4 (2 were recommended in guide but I left the already set values)
job_queue_interval = 30
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
Also I did the following too (though these are recommended for Internet file system)
opern_cursors = 300 (in installation guide it is asked 255 but I kept the already set value)
shared_pool_size = 52438800 (50M was suggested and this is more than that)
processes = 200
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
I started the database and listener
Proceeded the installation of Oracle Portal as is described in installation guide for Oracle 9i Application guide 1.0.2.0.0
And successfully completed the installation of Oracle Portal
There were no errors reported on the installer however when I read the installation log some errors were mentioned at the end of the file
Please see the attached log file.
I also completed all the post installation tasks at the end of chapter 4 of Oracle9i Application Server installation guide 1.0.2.0.0 except the configuration of Oracle Internet file system (is it necessary for running Oracle Portal to Go)
When I run the oracle portal to go the following situation is encountered
Working: http://localhost/pls/portal30/admin_/dadentries.htm
Error at: http://localhost/pls/portal30/portal30.home
Error: The preference path does not exist: Oracle.Portal.Page (WWC-51000)
(And this is the main source of confusion)
Working: http://localhost/pls/portal30/admin_/gateway.htm?schema=portal30
Working: http://et-wks-08:5555/invoke/wm.server.admin/adminPage
Are there any other guides and post installation steps still to follow to successfully run this Portal to Go or it is sufficient?
I can also send the installation logs of both Oracle 9i application server (installActions.log and installActions2001-05-28_03-50-56-PM.log) and Oracle portal to Go (install.log).
If you ask, I can send you the installation guides that I have followed and the screen shoots of the error messages for a detail review.
Moreover can anyone please tell me if this version of Oracle 9i Application server is ok or I must try some other version?
Also advise any other if any successful configuration and installation options.
Is it possible to run this portal to go with any other installation options/arrangements/configurations etc?
Any help from anyone will be highly appreciated.
