Ho can I generate a scheduler_job DDL?

Question

Hi All,
Any ideas on how to extract DDL of scheduler_job? I am trying to migrate scheduler jobs from one test server to production and other multiple dev/test servers. I have already tried from OEM using create like option but seems a little cumbersome as the ddl will contain a new job name. Any quicker, easier way to do this?
Thanks

Hi,
One way is to use expdp on the schema containing the jobs and then run impdp on the dumpfile specifying a SQLFILE for output.
This will work for all jobs/programs/schedules etc but won't work for job argument values or program argument default values (these values are stored as anydata and not representable as text).
If you want a single job exported you can also use the pl/sql below directly from the database (use the obj$ table to get the object id). Again argument values are not exported.
exec sys.dbms_sched_main_export.export_job(11867)
declare
  c1 varchar2(4000);
  b1 boolean := true ;
  begin
    while(b1)
    loop
      c1 := dbms_sched_main_export.next_piece(b1) ;
       dbms_output.put_line ( c1 ) ;
    end loop ;
  end ;
/Hope this helps,
Ravi.
