Dbms_job: question about broken jobs

Question

Hi.
I have defined the following job:
VARIABLE jobno NUMBER
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT (:jobno,'test_proc;',SYSDATE,'SYSDATE + 5/86400');
COMMIT;
END;
When the procedure is invalid the job queue tries to start it 16 times and marks the job as broken.
Is there an option that dbms_job does an automatic recompile of the procedure after the job has the broken status?
Thanks
Markus

Answer 1

you could do a two-step job to compile the proc, then execute it.
VARIABLE jobno NUMBER
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT (:jobno,'BEGIN
ALTER PROCEDURE test_proc COMPILE;
test_proc;
END',SYSDATE,'SYSDATE + 5/86400');
COMMIT;
END;
