DBMS_JOB won't run - sits in job queue

Hi all,
I'm trying to run a job using a DBMS_JOB, but none of the jobs that I submit will start in the database.
Here's the procedure that creates the job:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE DDS.SUBMIT_DBMS_JOB
AUTHID CURRENT_USER
IS
V_JOB_NO NUMBER;
V_SQL VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
V_SQL:='update DDS.DDS_TEST SET DDS_TEST_TEXT=''Z''; COMMIT;';
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(V_JOB_NO,V_SQL);
COMMIT;
END;
Very easy.
iI run the procedure and the job is submitted. But it won't run.
I've checked my job_queue_processes. It is set to '4'.
The database was apparently not started in restricted mode (select logins from v$instance returns 'ALLOWED').
I can get the job to run by issuing the following command: exec dbms_job.run(1496, true); Where 1496 is the job number.
Any idea why these jobs won't start on their own? The perplexing thing is that I used to be able to submit (and run) jobs in this database, but it's not working today.
All help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Tom
P.S. - Yes, I know about DBMS_SCHEDULER, but we can't use it at this point.

  • Can I create a table in a procedure submitted to job queue?

    I have created a package (with AUTHID CURRENT_USER) where some of the procedures create temporary tables to facilitate processing. These procedures run just fine when executed directly from within an anonymous block at the SQL*PLUS level. However, when I submit the procedures to the job queue (via DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT), the job is submitted successfully but fails when run. Investigating the Alert Log shows an error of insufficient privilege on the CREATE TABLE command in the procedure.
    QUESTION:
    Can I create a table from a procedure running in the Job Queue? If so, then how to get it to work? Does the job run in a different environment that needs Create Table privileges set to my schema?
    Thanks for any info you can provide.
    John

    FYI: Found the problem. In the Administrator's Guide (of course not in the supplied packages documentation about DBMS_JOB) I found:
    "How Jobs Execute
    SNP background processes execute jobs. To execute a job, the process creates a session to run the job.
    When an SNP process runs a job, the job is run in the same environment in which it was submitted and with the owner's default privileges.
    When you force a job to run using the procedure DBMS_JOB.RUN, the job is run by your user process. When your user process runs a job, it is run with your default privileges only. Privileges granted to you through roles are unavailable."
    And of course we had set up our users to get all privileges through Roles, so CREATE TABLE wasn't one of my DEFAULT PRIVILEGES!
    It sure would be nice if Oracle documentation could get its act together and provide ALL information about a topic in a logical place. The effort to find the information about privileges occurred after it took me 1/2 hour to figure out why my submissions were failing - I didn't have the ';' included in the quoted string for the procedure to be called - which I only figured out after looking at the code for DBMS_JOB where it made the note to make sure you include the ';'. Wouldn't it be good to have that MINOR DETAIL mentioned in the description of DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT?????

  • Select Statement Takes 5 Days in Job Queue Manager

    Here's our problem...
    In one of our packages, there is a D-SQL select statement. Every time we schedule to run that package using job queque manager, it gets stuck. The SQL Tracing shows it's scanning the blocks, but it just won't finish. If we run the same sql statement (generated from the output) at the same time, it runs the result in a fly. Now if the package is run through sql+, it runs through just fine. So there must be a bug with running it in Job Queue.
    Anyone suggestions?
    TIA!!!

  • Simple Queue-Queue Failing with : kwqjaq: Only job queue slave can run prop

    I know this is a simple problem, but I can't get by it.
    I have two DB servers and I just want to queue a message on a local queue and have it propagated to a remote queue.
    Here are my steps:
    I do this on both databases:
    grant dba to johnb identified by johnb ;
    connect johnb/johnb
    create type my_type as object ( a number, b varchar2(2000), c varchar2(2000)) ;
    --- multi consumer queue
    Begin
    /* This queue table should already exist */
    dbms_aqadm.create_queue_table( queue_table => 'MY_QUEUE_TAB',
    queue_payload_type => 'MY_TYPE',
    multiple_consumers => TRUE,
    comment => 'Test MultiConsumer OAQ',
    compatible => '8.1.0' );
    DBMS_AQADM.CREATE_QUEUE (
    queue_name => 'MY_QUEUE'
    , queue_table => 'MY_QUEUE_TAB' );
    dbms_aqadm.start_queue('MY_QUEUE') ;
    End;
    -- on "Local DB" I do the following:
    DECLARE
    subscriber sys.aq$_agent;
    BEGIN
    subscriber := sys.aq$_agent( 'subscriber1' , 'JOHNB.MY_QUEUE@otmdmz2' , null);
    DBMS_AQADM.ADD_SUBSCRIBER(queue_name => 'JOHNB.MY_QUEUE', subscriber => subscriber);
    END;
    -- scheduling propagation
    BEGIN
    DBMS_AQADM.SCHEDULE_PROPAGATION( queue_name => 'JOHNB.MY_QUEUE' , destination => 'otmdmz2' , destination_queue => 'JOHNB.MY_QUEUE');
    END;
    BEGIN
    DBMS_AQADM.ALTER_PROPAGATION_SCHEDULE( queue_name => 'JOHNB.MY_QUEUE' , destination => 'otmdmz2' , destination_queue => 'JOHNB.MY_QUEUE' , latency => 1 );
    END;
    -- I queue with this
    -- enqueue local
    DECLARE
    enqueue_options DBMS_AQ.enqueue_options_t;
    enqueue_properties DBMS_AQ.message_properties_t;
    enqueue_handle RAW(16) ;
    enqueue_message JOHNB.MY_TYPE;
    BEGIN
    enqueue_message := JOHNB.MY_TYPE(1, 'an aq test','sending to remote db' ) ;
    dbms_aq.enqueue(queue_name => 'JOHNB.MY_QUEUE',
    enqueue_options => enqueue_options,
    message_properties => enqueue_properties,
    payload => enqueue_message,
    msgid => enqueue_handle) ;
    commit ;
    end;
    No messages move to remote DB.
    I can see the message in the local queue table.
    Both databases have the same init.ora parameters : job_queue_processes=1000, aq_tm_processes=1.
    If I attempt to run the job I get the message in the subject line in a trace file:
    kwqjaq: Only job queue slave can run propagation job, exiting
    Though I am sure simple configuration issue, I cannot find a relevant note.
    Thanks,
    John

    Another case of the documentation being less than precise - it happens.
    Without personally having investigated, that's my understanding as well bearing in mind the following observation/explanation in the same article which seems to apply for all except 11gR2:
    Although you typically use the JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES initialization parameter to limit
    the number job queue processes for DBMS_JOB and you use the Scheduler attribute
    max_job_slave_processes to limit the number of job slave processes for the Scheduler,
    the Scheduler is affected by the JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES parameter.
    The maximum number of job slave processes for Scheduler is determined by the lesser
    of the values of JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES and max_job_slave_processes. For example:
    If JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES is set to 10 and max_job_slave_processes is set to 20,
    the job coordinator will start no more than 10 job slave processes to be shared
    between DBMS_JOB and the Scheduler.
    If JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES is 20 and max_job_slave_processes is 10, the coordinator
    will start up to 20 job slave processes. The Scheduler can use only 10 of these,
    but DBMS_JOB can use all 20.
    If JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES is 0, DBMS_JOB is disabled, and the maximum number of
    job slave processes for Scheduler is controlled by the max_job_slave_processes
    Scheduler attribute.

    With only one cartridge light blinking I would suspect the cartridge, they do rarely fail (much more often for reman cartridges, see here).  Clean the cartridge contascts as shown here.  If that fails and the cartridge is an original HP then check the warranty date as shown here.  If the cartridge is in warranty return it to your dealer for a warranty replacement.
    The printer will automatically switch to backup mode if the black (or color in some printers) cartridge is removed.  I do not know if this works with the PSC 1510, some all-in-on devices insist on having both cartridges present.

  • Schedule a job in dbms_job which should run first of every month at 14:00.

    Hi Gurus,
    I want to schedule a job in dbms_job which should run on first of every month at 14:00.
    Job will execute a stored procedure.
    With Regards,

    Hi Aman,
    My DB version is 10g but it was migrated from 9i fews weeks back.I'm aware that dbms_scheduler is very easy to use.I tried to use dbms_scheduler but the stored procedure which the job executing uses user_jobs and dba_jobs in the script to do some tasks.So, I have to use dbms_job option.
    Just as an FYI for future posts ... that could have been very useful information to know up front. It's very difficult to give good advice when someone sets seemingly arbitrary restrictions on what constitutes an acceptable solution (must use dba_jobs) with no explanation of the reason for said restrictions.
    I used trunc(LAST_DATE(SYSDATE) +1)+14/24 to schedule the job.
    Thanks Aman.. I follow your blog :)

  • DBMS_JOB in 9i: Run job immediately

    Hello, ALL!

  • Why job queue can't start?

    DB: Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.5.0
    Platform: Windows 2003 Server
    I imported several job queues from another oracle DB, after submit them, it seems everything is ok. But it can't start automatically upon reach time. (Should be run every 2 minutes)
    I check the dba_jobs view, BROKEN = N, INTERVAL = ‘sysdate + 2/60/24’,FAILUERS=0. And I can successfully execute the job by DBMS_JOB.RUN(job_no), but it won't start again after next time reach.
    CONNECT, RESOURCE and SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE privilege were granted to job owner, and JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES parameter was set to 10. JOB_QUEUE_INTERVAL wasn't set in init.ora file.
    no relative error was found in alter.log file.
    Thanks.

    even there's no job runing you should still see this process after you set
    JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES
    if you select from v$process you should see some process like this
    oracle@yourhost (J000)
    I don't have a Window platform to test this, because in windows Oracle is threaded instead of having seperate processes
    How Jobs Execute
    Jnnn processes execute jobs. To execute a job, the process creates a session to run the job. When a Jnnn process runs a job, the job is run in the same environment in which it was submitted and with the owner's default privileges. The owner must be explicitly granted the necessary object privileges for all objects referenced within the job definition.
    When you force a job to run using the procedure DBMS_JOB.RUN, the job is run by your user process and with your default privileges only. Privileges granted to you through roles are unavailable. You must be explicitly granted the necessary object privileges for all objects referenced within the job definition.

  • CS3 installs but won't run

    Ok - not sure if this goes in this section or not.. but it's a technical question.
    My b/f bought me a Dell Laptop last week. It has the recommended minimum of everything adobe says it needs for photoshop CS3 (see below for 1721 specs)
    When I installed it on the laptop - it was slow, but said it installed. But when I go to open up Photoshop, it opens the screen - and then just hangs. After about 5 minutes it says not responding and I close it. Any of the other programs that came with won't even get that far. I click on them and it gives the little "thinking" circle (as I call it.. lol) and then nothing.
    I have read that CS3 has issues with Vista - but their site says the home premium should work. I've also read about 64 bit issues.. but the OS is 32 bit - so it's capable of running 32bit systems... I guess.
    I called adobe yesterday after installing and reinstalling CS3 15+ times... with the same issue. I was on the phone for about 2 hours with them. Basically - they have NO CLUE what it would be since it installs fine and opens with no error messages. I checked the log files and there is nothing in there I see that says any kind of error.
    I have disable windows defender, uninstalled McAfee and google desktop (all are known to cause issues with CS3), I have ALL non MS startup services turned off.. I have turned off the MS users control.. all suggested by the adobe tech.
    I have installed using the run as administrator. Nothing. Created a new admin account and installed on that user and opened on reg admin account. Nothing. (again typical things that correct cs3 install issues)
    The last thing the guy said was that it might be a video issue. I checked and there aren't any issues mentioned and no driver updates listed.
    We tryed installing this on my b/f's laptop. He bought the exact one I have (except his is red.. mine blue.. lol) and it does the EXACT same thing...
    So today we called dell. they say it's a software issue and won't answer any questions for free. Apparently only hardware support is free... But they won't accept this is a hardware conflict with the software..
    errrrr
    Anybody have any clues on this?

    Rob - thanks for taking a stab at this.
    I have tried installing from the DVD and also from the zip file. the zip file was extracted to the hard drive brfore I ran it - and I ran it as administrator.
    And when it stalls - it gives the (NOT RESPONDING) tag on the window - which usually means that even if I leave it (and I have for up to 20 minutes) - still nothing.
    Here's the update from my dealings with DEll today...
    Dell tech support guy told me that it was a know issue that CS3 WON'T run on Vista and that Adobe is working the issue
    Told them that I knew others that were running it on Vista and it worked fine. They had no answer.
    Then I waited for the Technical support manger to call. This is after expressing my displeasure to the technical supervisor about them trying to pawn this issue off on anyone else but themselves. Why can't they go grab a 1721 off the shelf and replicate the issue and try to figure it out from there?!?!?!
    I used to work on a network helpdesk.. if I tried to pull that crap answer without trying to replicate the issue and AT LEAST try to find an answer.. I wouldn't have lasted very long at all!!!!
    The Tech manager told me to call customer support and ask for an OS swap (from vista to XP) because they don't know what the problem is and so it muct be a Vista compatibility issue
    I call customer support. They say that they no longer will give out XP since it is a step backwards. And to install XP on the machine ourselves (even a liscensed copy) would void the warranty. They suggest I talk to sales about swapping the laptop out with a "more compatible" one. Which isn't a totally bad idea since I really do think it is an AMD/ATI conflict.
    They transfer me to Sales.. ohh - you used the Employee Purchase program.. you need to talk to them.. and they transfer me.
    The EPP people tell me.. ohhhh you didn't actually go through us since you bought it off the Dell Outlet store. So they transfer me.
    The dell outlet store says they will be more than happy to swap me out to an Intel based machine.
    Only catch is the Intels are more expensive. They don't have any for the price we paid for the amd's. Fot about $40 more I can get one with a slower processer, a gig less ram, no dvd writer, but with a 160gb hd. To get compatible to mine - would be about $150 more.
    And they only have silver in the low end, and black or brown in the higher. Not that I really give a s@!t what the color is.. but it brings up the main reason I am sooo pissed abput all of this....
    Why should I have to pay more money, settle on doing without option/features want/need.. just because THEY don't want to take the time to figure out what the real issue is?!?!?! Why isn't it them doing these calls and doing all this troubleshooting.. Why am I being peanilzed for THEM not wanting to do their jobs....
    Told the B/F that I am done with Dell. That I don't want the laptop anymore and I don't want any other one from them. He says he'll pay the extra and get me the other one.. but that isn't the point....
    Not sure what my next move is.

  • Networked OJ 8500 that is extremely slow in job queuing.

    We recently installed an OJ 8500 and the job queuing is extremely slow.  The printer is networked (wired) and all users have the same problem.  We run a combination of XP, Vista and Windows7.  We have no problem getting the printer to print.  Its just painfully slow.  Job to job delays are 30 sec to 1 min.  The first job is slow to start.  Multiple copies of the same page print with this long delay between pages.  The OJ 5400 we had previously did not have this problem.  Can this be fixed?

    Once the job hits the printer it prints immediately.  It's right after you tap Print on the iPad that takes a long time. There is a box that pops up saying that the job is being processed (don't remember the wording exactly).  Once the box disappears it also takes a bit of time for the job to hit the printer. 
    The actual process of the printer printing is normal. 
    Also, in some cases the iPad won't even see that there is a printer connected to the network even though the printer is powered on, online and the iPad is connected to the home network.  Usually a reboot of the printer fixes this problem.
    Thanks

  • Correct in dbms_job.submit to run midnight?

    Hi,
    Can you tell me if this is correct to run midnight everyday? Thanks.
    dbms_job.submit(:jobNUM,
    'package.procedure();', trunc(sysdate)+1,
    'trunc(sysdate)+1')

    Hi SD,
    Yes, the Job Submit is right.
    DECLARE
       job_no   NUMBER;
    BEGIN
       DBMS_JOB.submit (job_no,
                        'zero;',
                         TRUNC (SYSDATE) + 1,
                        'TRUNC(SYSDATE)+1',
                        FALSE
    COMMIT;
    END;To View the Jobs,
    SELECT *
      FROM USER_JOBS;When ever you Submit a job via DBMS_JOB.submit procedure, the Job Should be commited, then only the Job queue monitor can see the Job.
    As a result,uncommited jobs go undone.
    Hope this may help you.

  • PHP script won't run in the background

    Hi all
    Hope someone can help me with a weird issue I have...
    I am trying to run a php CLI script in the background and it just won't run - it has a status of Stopped SIGTOU (Trying to write output) - Here are the details
    OS
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
    PHP
    PHP 5.3.6 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Sep  8 2011 19:34:00)
    Copyright (c) 1997-2011 The PHP Group
    Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2011 Zend Technologies
    I created a basic script  test.php
    <?php echo 'Hello world'.PHP_EOL; ?>
    Here are the results of various tests:-
    Test 1) php -f test.php  (Hello world gets displayed)
    Test 2) php -f test.php >test.log 2>&1 (Hello world gets put into test.log)
    Test 3) php -f test.php >test.log 2>&1 & --- I get [1]+  Stopped(SIGTTOU)        php -f test.php > test.log 2>&1 -- and the job just sits there doing nothing nothing gets logged however lsof shows the log file is open
    It has to be something to do with Apple's php build because a similar bash shell script gets executed no problems in the background...
    This has me stumped ... any ideas? What can I do to find out what is going on ...?
    TIA
    Rich

    Just realized your trying to load the php files by using the File->Open menu item in the Browser.  That won;t work.
    You have to load the php file by placing it in the Sites folder and entering http://localhost/file.php
    (or if you have user Sites enabled http://localhost/~user/file.php)
    The reason it is grayed out is that the browser doesn't run (or know of) php files. The web server runs those (via php) and the output of the file goes to the web browser.
    This page How to enable Web Sharing in OS X Mountain Lion does a pretty good job of explaining it. (as does the user tip I lonked to before)

  • Job queue

    Hi,
    I can't submit a job to the Job queue in SQL*plus. When I used the following statements to add a job, it didn't work.
    SQL> VARIABLE jobno number;
    SQL> BEGIN
    2 SYS.DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(:jobno,'sde.proc_map_arrest',SYSDATE,'SYSDATE + 1/288');
    3 commit;
    4 END;
    5 /
    BEGIN
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-06550: line 1, column 113:
    PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "END" when expecting one of the following:
    := . ( @ % ;
    The symbol ";" was substituted for "END" to continue.
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_JOB", line 72
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_JOB", line 140
    ORA-06512: at line 2
    I can't figure out what's the problem. Also I try to use the scripts from Oracle Document:
    VARIABLE jobno number;
    begin
    SYS.DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(:jobno,
    'sys.dbms_ddl.analyze_object(''TABLE'',
    ''DQUON'', ''ACCOUNTS'',
    ''ESTIMATE'', NULL, 50);'
    SYSDATE, 'SYSDATE + 1');
    commit;
    end;
    It still doesn't work. Can somebody tell me what's the problem? Thanks

    Hi, Nanditha,
    Thank you for your help. I am now able to add a job to the job queue and can run this job with:
    Execute DBMS_JOB.RUN (21,TRUE);
    or Execute DBMS_JOB.RUN (21);
    But this job doesn't run every 5 minutes as I specified in Submit procesure:
    VARIABLE jobno number;
    EXECUTE DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(:jobno, 'PROC_MAP_ARREST;', SYSDATE , 'SYSDATE + 1/288' );
    What's the problem? Can you give any advice?
    Thanks a lot.

  • How to find out the user from the Jobs queue in Report server

    Hello All!
    I have a doubt about finding out the user from the scheduled jobs queue. Say I go ahead and schedule a report on Reports Server how can I find out the user name. When I view the jobs using showjobs I could see that the DBMS_JOBS table has a column under "Job Owner". But it invariantly shows it is "rwuser". So is there a way to find out which user has scheduled which job?
    Regards
    Shobha

    hi,
    The below tables will give only the name .
    USER_ADDRS
    USER_ADDR
    USER_ADDRP
    USR02
    i think you need email address .
    you can use this Tcode : su01d
    and give the user name and excute it
    i hope it will help you.
