Execute Now a scheduled Job

We have EM12C and among several other things we use it to schedule backups and other jobs on our several Oracle databases.
My question: Is there a way to manually execute a scheduled job, a sort of "execute job now" type of command
Regards
James

I opened an SR with Oracle and they confirmed that there is no option to "execute Now" a scheduled job on EM12C.
What can be done is to edit the job schedule to run in say next minute and then re-schedule it again to normal time.

What command will be executed when I schedule job via DB13

Hi all,
How do I get what command(full syntax) will be executed when I schedule jobs via DB13?
For example:
- Action: REORG of Tables in Tablespace(s)
- Tablespaces: "WI6#BTABD" is selected
- "Use Temporary Tablespaces" is selected
I think this is a really basic question...
Could you give me some advice?
Thanks in advance,
Ikue

Hi Ikue,
yes, you won't see, what the 'REORG for all tablespaces is doing. But it's not really necessary. Its's simply always the same call
REORG TABLE <tabname> INDEX <primary key> ALLOW NO ACCESS
and optionally the addition USE <tempspace>, if you have selected this option in DB13. And it is called for each table that is located in the tablespace(s) which you have specified.
The 'REORG for set of tables' is quite new. It is available with Basis Support Package 7.0 SP12. Before there was only a job to Reorg a single table.
The REORG for flagged tables is a deprecated job.
If you want to know more about the various REORG jobs and when and how to use them, then you should look at note 431430
Best regards
Ralf

Scheduled job not getting executed on a logical standby

Hello,
We have created a job(through dbms_scheduler API). The job is enabled and shows up in the SCHEDULERJOBS view also.
However the job does not get executed. I looked into the following tables there was no relevant entry found for the aforesaid job:
select * from all_scheduler_job_log
select * from dba_scheduler_running_jobs
select * from DBA_SCHEDULER_JOB_RUN_DETAILS order by log_date desc
Is there any limitation that we cannot execute scheduled jobs on a logical standby database. If i execute the relevant program (that is configured to be run as job in this scenario) as an individual procedure from SQL plus, it gets executed successfully implying there is no errors/problem in the subprogram that the job is going to invoke.
Appreciate your thoughts in this regard.
Thanks.

Hi Justin,
Thanks for your response.
As per the app design, the job invokes a stored program(that maps to a stored procedure present in standby db itself) that reads the data from standby and populates the relevant tables/entities in another database(third db, not primary or standby) which acts as a repository. No write operations are to be performed on standby.
So, i have two doubts:
-- Can scheduled jobs execute on logical standby db[Oracle release 10g(R2)]
I was going through few of the oracle docs and it is mentioned that this is a known limitation in 10g
R2 release and has been corrected in 11g. Now we have something called database_role
attribute that needs to be set to 'LOGICAL STANDBY' if you need to execute a job on
standby. However it is available in 11g onwards.
-- If there is no workaround for the above mentioned problem in 10g-R2 release.
Then we may have to schedule a job from third db instance that shall invoke the program(residing on the standby db). Can we have a scheduled job which executes a program that maps to a remote stored procedure instead of local stored procedure?
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks

Export scheduler job but chain step and chain rule failed with ORA-24150 ORA-06512 during executed sql script.

Hi Folks,
I used expdp utility to export all Oracle scheduler jobs and chains with below method, after that generate sql script by impdp, later on executing sql script encountered some errors.
Only chain step and chain rule for executing script. Does anyone bright me some light? Thanks!
My env: Oracle 11g + Oracle Linux 5.5
My steps as below:
1. export(expdp) oracle scheduler job(chain)
2. generate sql script by impdp.
3. remove orginal scheduler job(chain)
4. execute sql script
5. job with no chain well but job with chain failed

Executing Scheduled jobs via Control Centre

Hello Forum,
We have a question on the scheduled jobs in OWB. We have some process flows that are attached to some (corresponding) schedules. Now in the Control Centre, we have two options to get the scheduled jobs executed:
1. We can have the scheduled jobs deployed, but not started, in which case the scheduled jobs would run as our Repository Owner (say OWB).
2. We can have the scheduled jobs deployed AND started, in which case the scheduled jobs would run as OWF (Oracle Workflow User).
(Just to clarify - by "starting" a scheduled job we mean that we make use of the "Start" option available in the right-click menu for every scheduled job that appears under the "Scheduled Jobs" node in the Control Centre.)
We would like to understand what is the advantage/disadvantage of setting up the scheduled jobs (for execution) for the two cases described above.
Any help is much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Piyush
For reference, following is our environment info:
OWB Client Version - 10.2.0.1.31
Repository Version - 10.2.0.1.0
Database Version - 10.2.0.3.0
OWF Version - 2.6.4
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Sam,
Thanks a lot for your kind inputs. Well the situation that I have at hand is that when I don't "start" the schedules (as in Case 1. described in my earlier post), everything goes fine. However, if I "start" the schedules jobs (as in Case 2. described in my earlier post), the scheduled jobs failed to execute after DB restart. So I feel we are better off by not starting the scheduled jobs so as to make them run as our target workflow user.
Do you think this is the right approach for executing the scheduled jobs?
Best Regards,
Piyush

Dear Raju,
Have you checked SM21? Maybe you have a problem with your TemSe object. If this is the case a basis guy should know how to handle it.

Scheduled job throws Class Not Found error when executing Java class

Hi,
I have written a java class to carry out a file upload to an external site and put the class on our server.
I also wrote a script to call this java class, passing inthe relevant parameters.
If i call the script using the ./ syntax from SSH it runs file logged in as Root and Oracle.
I the setup a scheduled job to call this script but the job fails with the error...
STANDARD_ERROR="Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HttpsFileUpload Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: HttpsFileUpload at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:"I cannot understand why it is raising the error if it runs from SSH.

Hi,
See this link for some tips if you haven't yet :
Guide to External Jobs on 10g with dbms_scheduler e.g. scripts,batch files
I can think of two things. Your script may not be able to run as the nobody user (by default external jobs run as the nobody user). Or your script might require that some environment variable be set (by default environment variables are not set in external jobs).
Maybe you need to set the CLASSPATH variable in your script before calling java ?
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

How to Schedule Job using Database Control for SQLPLUS script?

Hi All,
I am using Database version 10.2. I would like to schedule a SQLPLUS script job using Database control (Not using Grid Control!). The following is the script.
========================================================
define OEM_FRIENDLY=1
define OWB_BACKGROUND=0
set serveroutput on
set verify off
whenever sqlerror exit failure;
define REPOS_OWNER='&1.'
define LOCATION_NAME='&2.'
define TASK_TYPE='&3.'
define TASK_NAME='&4.'
define SYSTEM_PARAMS='&5.'
define CUSTOM_PARAMS='&6.'
alter session set current_schema = &REPOS_OWNER.;
set role owb_d_&REPOS_OWNER., owb_o_&REPOS_OWNER.;
variable exec_return_code number;
begin
-- Initialize Return Code
:exec_return_code := wb_rt_api_exec.RESULT_FAILURE;
-- Run Task
:exec_return_code := wb_rt_api_exec.run_task('&LOCATION_NAME.',
'&TASK_TYPE.',
'&TASK_NAME.',
'&CUSTOM_PARAMS.',
'&SYSTEM_PARAMS.',
&OEM_FRIENDLY.,
&OWB_BACKGROUND.);
end;
exit :exec_return_code;
===========================================================
Is it possible to schedule SQLPLUS script with 6 different parameters? If yes then how can I schedule for monday to friday or only for Saturday and sundays.
Please provide brief steps.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Let me explain to you about scheduler.
You can schedule a pl/sql stored procedure TEST_S as follows...
Begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
job_name=>'MY_JOB',
Job_Type=>'STORED_PROCEDURE',
job_action=>'TEST_S',
start_date=>sysdate,
repeat_interval=>'freq=monthly;BYDAY=MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI',
end_date=>null');
END;
You can also also execute o/s script like .bat or .sh. For this job type should be EXECUTABLE.
Example of converting a .sql script in .bat script...
insert.sql
insert into dept values(50,'IT','LONDON');
exit
insert.bat
sqlplus scott/tiger @insert.sql
Executing now...
C:\Documents and Settings>insert.bat
C:\Documents and Settings>sqlplus scott/tiger @insert.sql

How to find what sql statement is currently running by scheduler job?

Hi
I scheduled a stored procedure to run every 5 minutes using dbms_scheduler.
The stored procedure internally call serveral other stored procedures.
The scheduled job is in running state and right now I want to find out what is the sql statement the job executing.
Is there any sql query to find out what is sql query the schedular job is running?? Please help me.
Thanks in Advance.

The previous sql id is null in this case.
I already quoted as I am running a pl/sql block in my scheduler job.
begin
usp_test('praram');
end;
I am using the pl/sql block as above in my scheduler job. The USP_TEST inturn calls some other stored procedures and each stored procedure has several inserts and update statements.
The scheduler job is still running. I know the sid of the running scheduler job.
I want to know the job is at which stored procedure and at which insert/update statement.
Please let me know is there any query to fulfil my requirement?
I greatly appreciate your help
Thanks

How can I locate a Scheduler job?

Hi there,
In the alert log, I see the following error :
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 2915
My question is - how do I find the definition for job 2915?
And before you say - "that's easy, it's in all_scheduler_jobs", it's
not in all_scheduler_jobs. The old dbms_job package had a column for
job number, but the Scheduler doesn't. I've scrutinized the definition for
all the Scheduler views, but nothing reveals the job number.
When I look at all the jobs listed in dba_scheduler_jobs, nothing seems
likely to be this mysterious job 2915.
Does anyone have any idea how I can locate it?
Thanks!

Hi,
Actually I've been meaning to write this info up as a DBA tip, but never get round to doing it...
The job number referred to is in fact the Object ID of the Job when dealing with a new Scheduler job and not an original DBMS_JOB job.
Scheduler jobs are database objects now rather than just 'rows in a table' so have an object ID, visible in dba_objects. But the dba_scheduler jobs view does not display this column!
See this example, I create a Job that refers to a non existant procedure. The object ID matches that put into the alert log when it fails only a second later:
SQL> declare
2    jname varchar2(30) := 'JOB_TEST';
3    jtype varchar2(16) := 'PLSQL_BLOCK'; -- 'PLSQL_BLOCK', 'STORED_PROCEDURE', 'EXECUTABLE'
4    jaction varchar2(256) := 'not_a_real_proc;';
5 begin
6
7    dbms_scheduler.create_job (
8                  job_name        => jname,
9                  job_type        => jtype,

13                  auto_drop       => FALSE,
14                  comments        => 'Test job can be dropped'
15                  );

ORA-27369 Exit-Code: 255 when executing sql script as job

Dear all
I'd like to find and compile all invalid objects in an instance. This should be done every day as a scheduled job with the use of DBMS_SCHEDULER.
For this, I set up the following sql-script:
---------start script--------------
set heading off;
set feedback off;
set echo off;
Set lines 999;
Spool /tmp/run_invalid.sql
select
'ALTER ' || OBJECT_TYPE || ' ' ||
OWNER || '.' || OBJECT_NAME || ' COMPILE;'
from
dba_objects
where
status = 'INVALID'
spool off;
set heading on;
set feedback on;
set echo on;
@/tmp/run_invalid.sql
exit
------ end script ----
The script ist working well when executed manualy via sqlplus. As you can see, it spools the commands to a second file (run_invalid.sql) which is the beeing executed to compile the invalid objects found.
I now want to schedule this script via DBMS_SCHEDULER (running the job every day at 7AM). Creation of the job:
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'compile_invalid_objects',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/home/oracle/scripts/sql/compile_invalid_objects.sql',
start_date => trunc(sysdate)+1+7/24,
repeat_interval => 'trunc(sysdate)+1+7/24',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'SQL-Script, und invalid objects zu finden und zu kompilieren'
END;
Manualy execute and error message:
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB (job_name => 'compile_invalid_objects',
use_current_session => true);
END;
FEHLER in Zeile 1:
ORA-27369: Job vom Typ EXECUTABLE nicht erfolgreich mit Exit-Code: 255
ORA-06512: in "SYS.DBMS_ISCHED", Zeile 150
ORA-06512: in "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", Zeile 441
ORA-06512: in Zeile 2
--> Sorry for this, I'm using german localized oracle.
Unfortunately, it seems that only Shell-Scripts can be scheduled when using job_type='EXECUTABLE'. Can you confirm this?
BTW: The script is chmoded to 777, therefore it can't be a permission problem.
Is there maybe another solution with one single script using dbms_output functionality and run the script in a loop?
To complete my post, here are the commands used to create and test the job:
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'compile_invalid_objects',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/tmp/compile_invalid_objects.sql',
start_date => trunc(sysdate)+1+7/24,
repeat_interval => 'trunc(sysdate)+1+7/24',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'SQL-Script, und invalid objects zu finden und kompilieren'
END;
Thanks for your help

Issues with scheduling job in sm36 for a standard report...

Hi,
After creating a variant for a program, if I try to execute SM36 -> Define step and then, I select ABAP program, the variant name associated with it. Now what do I need to do to schedule job for that report.

Hi,
After giving the program and variant..
Press the start condition button..
Press Immediate to run immediately..
Or
Choose the date and time you want to run this job..
After that press save.
Then press save in sm36 for the job..THis will release the job...
Thanks,

DS run longer with scheduled job as compare to manual run

I have scheduled a job through Management Console (MC) to run everyday once at
certain time. After some time, maybe after 15 days of running, the execution
time has increased to double from 17 mins to 67 mins by one time jump. After
that, the job kept running and spent 67 mins to complete.
The nature of the job is to generate around 400 output flat files from a
source db2 table. Under efficient running time, 1 file took around 2 seconds to
generate. But now it became taking 8 seconds to generate one file. The data
volume and nature of the source table didn't change, so that was not the root
cause of increasing time.
I have done several investigations and the results as such:
1) I scheduled again this job at MC to run for testing, it would take 67 mins
to complete. However, if I manually run this job thorough MC, it would take
17 mins efficient time to run.
2) I replicated this job to a second job as a copy. Then I scheduled this
copied job at MC to run, it would take 67 mins to run. But if I manually run
this job through MC, it will take 17 mins to run.
3) I created another test repo and load this job in. I scheduled the job to
run at this new repo, it would take 67 mins to run. If I manually run the job
through MC, it only took 17 mins to run.
4) Finally, I manually executed the job through unix job scripts command,
which is one of the scheduled job entry in the cron file, such as
./DI__4c553b0d_6fe5_4083_8655_11cb0fe230f4_2_r_3_w_n_6_40.sh, the job also would take 17
mins to run to finish.
5) I have recreated the repo to make it clean and reload back the jobs and
recreated again the schedule. Yet it still took 67 mins to run scheduled job.
Therefore, the conclusion is why it takes longer time to run by scheduling
method as compare to manually running method?
Please provide me a way to troubleshoot this problem. Thank you.

Yesterday we had done another test and indirectly made the problem to go
away. We changed the generated output flat file directory from current directory
of /fdminst/cmbc/fdm_d/bds/gl to /fdminst/cmbc/fdm_d/bds/config directory to
run, to see any difference would make. We changed the directory pointing
inside Substitution Parameter Configurations windows. Surprisingly, job had
started to run fast and completed in 15 minutes and not 67 minutes anymore.
Then we shifted back and pointed the output directory back to original
/fdminst/cmbc/fdm_d/bds/gl and the job has started to run fast ever since and all
completed in 15 minutes. Even we created ad hoc schedule to run and it was
still running fast.
We not sure why it was solved by shifting directory away and shifting back,
and whether this had to do with BODS problem or HP Unix system environment
problem. Nonetheless, the job is started to run normally and fast now as we
test.

How to Schedule Jobs to only run during a time window

I have a long running task that needs to schedule jobs to process data.
I only want these scheduled jobs to start during a specific window of time each day, probably 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM.
If the scheduled jobs do not begin during the specified time frame, they must wait until the next day to start running.
Each scheduled job will only be executed once and then auto dropped.
How should I go about creating these scheduled jobs?

Hi Jeff,
I agree that the documentation isn't clear enough about the purpose of windows.
You can indeed use windows for changing the resource plan, but you can also use them for scheduling your jobs.
I did a simple test in real-time to illustrate the latter.
At around 10.30 am today I created a table that will populated by a job:
CREATE TABLE TEST_WINDOW_TABLE(EVENT_DATE DATE);
Then, I created a window whose start_date is today at 10.40 am :
dbms_scheduler.create_window(
                             window_name     =>'TEST_WINDOW',
                             resource_plan   => NULL,
                             start_date      => to_date('10/04/2014 10:40:00', 'dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),
                             repeat_interval => NULL,
                             duration        =>interval '5' minute
You can see that this window doesn't have a resource plan, and its repeat interval is NULL (so it will be opened only once).
The window will stay open for 5 minutes.
Finally, I created a one-off job whose schedule is the previously created window:
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
                           job_name      => 'TEST_WINDOW_JOB',
                           job_type      => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
                           job_action    => 'BEGIN insert into test_window_table values (sysdate); COMMIT; END;',
                           schedule_name => 'SYS.TEST_WINDOW',
                           enabled       => true,
                           auto_drop     => true
Checking the user_scheduler_job_log before 10.40 would return no rows, which mean the job hasn't started yet since the window was not open.
Now, from 10.40, it shows one entry:
SQL> select log_date, status from user_scheduler_job_log where job_name = 'TEST_WINDOW_JOB';
LOG_DATE                                                                         STATUS
10/04/14 10:40:02,106000 +02:00                                                  SUCCEEDED
The TEST_WINDOW_TABLE has also got the row:
SQL> select * from TEST_WINDOW_TABLE;
EVENT_DATE
10/04/2014 10:40:02
Voilà.
In your case, since you want to run the jobs daily between 10 pm and 6 am (duration of 8 hours), the window would look like this:
dbms_scheduler.create_window(
                             window_name     =>'YOUR_WINDOW',
                             resource_plan   => NULL,
                             repeat_interval => 'freq=daily;byhour=22;byminute=0;bysecond=0',
                             duration        =>interval '8' hour
For your jobs, you may need to specify an end_date if you want to make sure the job gets dropped if it couldn't run in its window.

Manually kick off scheduled jobs

Hi all, now and again I have a situation where the database that the BIP reports are run against is not availalbe in the morning when the BIP jobs are scheduled to run. When the database comes online mid-morning, I've been manually running all jobs that were scheduled to run earlier that morning.
Is there a way to manually kick off the scheduled jobs? The scheduled job already contains the report output name, format, destination etc. and having to go back to the original reports and manually run takes a lot of time. Any ideas?
