DBMS_JOB.REMOVE hangs

Hi,
SunOS 5.10 SPARC platform with Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) database.
When i try to execute DBMS_JOB.REMOVE(job) it hangs and doesnt complete. I have even used DBMS_IJOB for this purpose, but did not succeed, that too hangs. I have also set JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES=0 and then trying all these, still no luck. Unable to remove the job. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Siva

DBMS_JOB.REMOVE procedure

Hi,
I submitted a Stored Proc as an Oracle JOB using DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT procedure to execute everyday. I checked it in DBMS_JOBS and USER_JOBS views, I couldn't find it. I submitted the job again. Now that I could see two jobs scheduled (the same procedure) for a daily execution. If I remove the jobs using DBMS_JOB.REMOVE procedure and check the dbms_jobs view in the same session, I cannot see the jobs as scheduled. When I check from another session, the jobs are still scheduled and both of them gets executed on a daily basis now, which I don't need. Why the DBMS_JOB.REMOVE is not removing the job from the job queue? Any clue?
My Oracle Version is 9.2

If you have exited from the session using exit, then, the job which you remove should have gone. I mean, when you use exit from the session pre-commit take place.

Dbms_job.remove

I have some jobs scheduled.I am querying the table user_jobs there i am getting 50 rows.I want to remove the job.
i am executing the statement below through a sql statement:
exec dbms_job.remove(110) ;
exec dbms_job.remove(200);
where 110,200 is the job[obtained from user_jobs].
The execution is taking long time. Does anybody has knowlegde how to remove oracle scheduled job?
Thanks in advance...

You must issue a COMMIT statement immediately after the statement.
BEGIN
   DBMS_JOB.REMOVE(110);
   DBMS_JOB.REMOVE(200);
   COMMIT;
END;If you did commit already, realize that removing a job does not stop it. If you want to stop the job, you must kill the session. DBMS_SCHEDULER, however, does have a STOP_JOB procedure.

How to permanently kill a DBMS_JOB

... prior to that 16 failures.
I have two jobs that I want to permanently kill.
I have set them to BROKEN.
I have set job_queue_processes = 0;
I have killed off all sessions related to these jobs.
As soon as I reset job_queue_processes back > 0 (to 10), the old processes restart (with their old session id's) and then the job is set to UNbroken!
How do I totally get rid of these jobs, withot having to wait out the 16 failures .
Also, do DBMS_SCHEDULER jobs follow this same 16x failure behavior if the job fails ?
These re unexpected failures due ot resource problems - it is NOT ok to just let them run, they will hang the system (again) and fail gain.
Thank you,
Karen

Hi,
I am not sure why this is happening.
If you really want to get rid of the job, maybe you need to use dbms_job.remove .
I can also confirm that this does not happen in dbms_scheduler. Once a job is disabled using dbms_scheduler.disable it will not run until it is re-enabled.
A dbms_scheduler job will be retried only if the restartable attribute is set to TRUE for a job (by default it is false). If you set restartable to be true then a failing job will restart after 1,10,100,1000,10000,100000 seconds before failing that run (or just go to the next regularly scheduled date if that comes first).
In dbms_scheduler you can use stop_job to stop the job either gracefully or forcefully.
All of these are reasons to switch to using dbms_scheduler if you are using 10g or above (and there are several others besides).
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Job removing in Oracle 10g

Hi,
I am working in Oracle migration from 8 to 10g.
I have a procedure that remove all the jobs named as <job name>.It works in Oracle 8 but does not remove any job in Oracle 10g
The command is dbms_job.remove(i.job);
Any suggestion???

You can remove a job from the database by issuing a DROP_JOB statement, as in the following:
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DROP_JOB (
job_name => 'my_job1');
END;
and aslo you can use this
exec dbms_job.remove(24) ;

We tried to remove it again , restart the server but with no results.
Please help !

Hi.
Use SQLplus.
Log in as the user that owns the job.

Jobs in dbms_job queues

How can I tell if a job is in a job queue? Also, how can I completely drop the job?
Thansk!

Assuming a DBMS_JOB job rather than a DBMS_SCHEDULER job, query DBA_JOBS (or USER_JOBS or ALL_JOBS depending on the situation).
You can prevent future executions of the job by using the DBMS_JOB.REMOVE procedure. If the job is currently executing, though, dropping the job doesn't stop that execution-- you'd have to kill the session (or wait for the current execution to finish).

Removing JOB From the Queue once executed

How do you submit a job so that it runs only once and then gets removed from the Jobs Queue ?
I am submitting a Job from a procedure and I want the job to be removed once it is run. Can the Procedure that is called in the DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(...) call contain a line such as DBMS_JOB.REMOVE(JobID)? How will the procedure know what the JobID for that job is ?
Thanks.

Just don't specify a NEXT_DATE or INTERVAL (just use the first two arguments, JOB and WHAT) and that's exactly what will happen.

If the job was created using dbms_scheduler, then you need to drop it using dbms_scheduler, as shown below.

DBMS_JOB Restarting repeatedly

Hi All,
Is there a wayout, that if I have a JOB running, and I want it to kill it , it gets killed permanently.
I executed a PROC through DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT, in the midway , I wanted to stop its execution,I removed the JOB through DBMS_JOB.REMOVE and I killed the session (through TOAD, Kill/Trace session), and also dropped the Proc, but the problem is , that its keeps on restarting and is showing FAILURES.
Please advise me, how to get rid off unwanted JOBS.
Regards,
Gaurav S

That doesn't make sense. If you removed the job, it would no longer be in the DBA_JOBS table, so it would not show failures. Are you certain that you removed the right job? Is it possible that something else has resubmitted the same task as a different job?

I believe you used ntfs for a reason. As far as I know, Windows isn't friendly with hdd filesystems others than fat or ntfs, so once you format your external harddrive to ext4, windows won't talk to it at all, unless you install some additional driver or software.
You have several possibilities to do:
1) You could use FAT32, it's kind of a dumb filesystem, linux, mac and windows can read and write to it, there are some limitations like file permisions or 4GB file size limit.
2) You could make multiple partitions on your external harddrive, one with ntfs (for windows) and the other with some fs that is support natively in Linux and Mac, I believe only option would be HFS+. I'm not an expert, maybe somebody will correct me. Anyway, if you aren't going to connect your disk to Mac, than ext4 would be a good choice. But this approach with two different partions is kind of dumb, because usually you need the same data available on whatever platform.
3) If I were you, I would continue using NTFS or FAT32. It's not ideal, but it's a price you have to pay for dealing with Windows systems.
4) If there is any other smarter solution, I believe somebody will add it to responses bellow.
Anyway, it's weird that your problem persists. There has to be something wrong with your filesystem, otherwise ls wouldn't show you question marks in its output. Did you perform chkdisk via GUI? It has to say that either there wasn't any error with your fs, or that there was some error. We live (unfortunatelly) in binary computer world. I mean you can perform that command from shell, or however microsoft calls it, and if you run it in a proper configuration, it will tell you whether your fs is bad or not and perform needed repairs.
And how to format disk to ext4?
Backup your data, run as root fdisk /dev/yourexthdd (fdisk /dev/sdd), delete all partitions, create new ones, once you are done, write changes down. fdisk is pretty easy to use, don't be afraid of it. Then you have to create filesystem on each partition you created with fdisk, so if you created only one, run mkfs.ext4 /dev/yourexthddwithpartnumber (mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd1). There are nice articles about doing these things on Arch Wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/File_Systems), don't be worried to read them

How to stop a running job in 10g Scheduler?

The following is a duplicate post. I posted the following to the general database forum before seeing that otn has a new scheduler forum:
I am not able to find in the Admin Guide a method to stop a currently running instance of a job in the 10g scheduler.
In 9i, I run the following script calling DBMS_JOB.broken and DBMS_JOB.remove to shut down currently running jobs:
DECLARE
jobid NUMBER;
CURSOR c1
IS
SELECT job
FROM dba_jobs
WHERE priv_user = 'ME';
BEGIN
OPEN c1;
LOOP
FETCH c1
INTO jobid;
EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
DBMS_JOB.broken (jobid, TRUE);
COMMIT;
DBMS_JOB.remove (jobid);
COMMIT;
END LOOP;
CLOSE c1;
END;
How may I create similar code to shut down currently running jobs using DBMS_SCHEDULER in 10g? According to the Admin Guide, disabling jobs with the force option will still allow the job to finish.
How can I terminate a running job in 10g?

You can stop a currently running job using the STOP_JOB api.
STOP_JOB Procedure
This procedure stops currently running jobs or all jobs in a job class. Any instance of the job will be stopped. After stopping the job, the state of a one-time job will be set to SUCCEEDED whereas the state of a repeating job will be set to SCHEDULED or COMPLETED depending on whether the next run of the job is scheduled.
Syntax
DBMS_SCHEDULER.STOP_JOB (
job_name IN VARCHAR2
force IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE);
Parameters
Table 83-44 STOP_JOB Procedure Parameters
Parameter Description
job_name
The name of the job or job class. Can be a comma-delimited list. For a job class, the SYS schema should be specified.
If the name of a job class is specified, the jobs that belong to that job class are stopped. The job class is not affected by this call.
force
If force is set to FALSE, the Scheduler tries to gracefully stop the job using an interrupt mechanism. This method gives control back to the slave process, which can update the status of the job in the job queue to stopped. If this fails, an error is returned.
If force is set to TRUE, the Scheduler will immediately terminate the job slave. Oracle recommends that STOP_JOB with force set to TRUE be used only after a STOP_JOB with force set to FALSE has failed.
Use of the force option requires the MANAGE SCHEDULER system privilege.
Setting force to TRUE is not supported for jobs of type executable.
Usage Notes
STOP_JOB without the force option requires that you be the owner of the job or have ALTER privileges on that job. You can also stop a job if you have the CREATE ANY JOB or MANAGE SCHEDULER privilege.
STOP_JOB with the force option requires that have the MANAGE SCHEDULER privilege.
