Question

Hi All,
I want to configure email notification for the job which is running through BUMS_SCHEDULER in oracle 10g
Please provide the steps for configuration of the email notification.
Thanks

Is your problem that you do not know how to send an email from Oracle 10g? If so then you use the UTL_MAIL package.
Here's an example of calling it as part of a scheduler chain, not strictly what you're asking for but this lets you define success and failure steps and call each one based on the status of previous steps.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_PROGRAM (
   program_name           =>'prg_Export_Success',
   program_type           =>'PLSQL_BLOCK',
   program_action         =>q'[BEGIN
                                UTL_MAIL.SEND (
                                   sender      => 'who_its_from',
                                   recipients  => '[email protected]',
                                   subject     => 'subject line',
                                   message     => 'the message',
                                   mime_type   => 'text/plain; charset=us-ascii');
                                END;]',
   number_of_arguments      => 0,
   enabled                  => TRUE,
   comments                 => 'Email success');
end;
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DEFINE_CHAIN_STEP (
   chain_name      =>  'Export',
   step_name       =>  'stp_EXPORT_SUCCESS',
   program_name    =>  'PRG_EXPORT_SUCCESS');
END;
/... then define appropriate rules.
