How can a broken job "re-enable" itself?

I have noticed that a "broken" job will have re-started itself when I check it the next day. How is this possible?
No one in my group deals with this job, except for me.
There is no other job in any other schema that would enable this job.
I have used both TOAD and the DBMS_JOB package to disable this job. Still, this job refuses to stay broken. Any ideas?

What version of Oracle?
From the 9.2 Administrators Guide >> If a job returns an error while Oracle is attempting to execute it, Oracle tries to execute it again. The first attempt is made after one minute, the second attempt after two minutes, the third after four minutes, and so on, with the interval doubling between each attempt. If the job fails 16 times, Oracle automatically marks the job as broken and no longer tries to execute it. However, between attempts, you have the opportunity to correct the problem that is preventing the job from running. This will not disturb the retry cycle, and Oracle will eventually attempt to run the job again. <<
How is the job being ran? By the next value or is the job being demanded in by another process so that the next value in dba_jobs for this job is not really used?

  • How can I disable Select Tool & enable Hand Tool using Adobe JavaScript ?

    How can I disable Select Tool & enable Hand Tool using Adobe JavaScript ?
    I want wherever the PDF opened automatically preferrence changed, default HAND TOOL remain selected. I want to do it using Adobe JavaScript.

    You are correct in that it's not functioning, however I do not have that option under the "online and adobe online" section in Adobe Customization Wizard XI.  I have the following boxes that can be checked:
    "Disable initiating shared reviews and data collection via distributed forms using Adobe online services (does not affect non Adobe online services reviews and forms).
    "Disable the Tools pane in Reader"
    "Disable file storage on Adobe online services"
    "Enable file storage even when all other services are disabled"

  • How can we bug Apple to enable temp readouts?

    I've read somewhere that Apple has said that they will enable temperature readings in the new Macbook Pros if there is enough interest. How can I express my interest to them?

    Even if there is no way for the software to control the fans, surely Intel must have inclduded a temperature readout of some sort for the CPU, otherwise how can they control the fans? Blocking software from accessing the temperature values seems simply stupid, imo (and either way ought to be able to be remedied by a BIOS... erm... EFI firmware upgrade?).
    I was aware that the harddrive had a temp reading, though, but that's placed quite a long way from the CPU and imo is nowhere near as warm.
    Still, isn't there a direct channel to Apple to voice an opinion on this? (Apart from this forum, which god knows who reads.)

  • How can i keep job running?

    Hi,
    I have scheduled some jobs to start mappings in the control center manager.
    But when i turn off my client, these jobs stop too.
    It seems because of control center service is being stopped.
    How could i do to fix this problem,
    or how can i automatically start the control center service?
    My Repository and Target are in the same server of Linux platform.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    I'm guessing you manually have to start the control center service on your client computer?
    The best thing is to have the control center service run on the server. Then you can continue to run mappings even after your client is turned of.
    I'm not completely sure eon how to do this, but I think you have to install a warehouse builder home on the server as well. If it is already installed on the server then you need to check whether the control center service is running or not, and if not start it.

  • How can I make a JButton enabled when the user types smthg in a JTextField?

    Hello,
    I have a JButton and a JTextField on a frame. The JButton is disabled, myButton.setEnabled(false).
    How can I enable the button when the user types something in the text field? Just typing, not pressing enter.
    Thank you

    There isn't one, actually. What you need is a DocumentListener and you have to associate it with the document object associated with the field i.e.
    field2.getDocument().addDocumentListener() (new DocumentListener() {
    });

  • How can i re-automate/re-enable the daily, weekly, & monthly 'tasks'

    some time ago i was having trouble burning a home video with imovie. one of the suggested remedies was to disable the overnight cleaning up tasks, which i did. however, i'd now like to reset this so that these tasks are once again automated whilst i sleep (currently using MacJanitor).
    but i cannot for the life of me work out how to do this. please help.

    Open the application TextEdit. Under the TextEdit menu open the Preferences. Under the heading New Document Atributes select the Plain text radio button. Under the heading Default Plain Text Encodings select Unicode(UTF-8) in the drop down menu by Save:. Under the heading Saving check the box Overwrite read-only files. Put TextEdit into your Dock.
    From the Finder > Go menu select Go to Folder... Type /etc in the dialog box and press return. Locate the file- crontab. Drag the file onto the TextEdit icon in your Dock. The file should open. Your crontab file probably looks like this:
    # /etc/crontab
    SHELL=/bin/sh
    PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
    HOME=/var/log
    #minute hour mday month wday who command
    #*/5 * * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun
    # Run daily/weekly/monthly jobs.
    #15 3 * * * root periodic daily
    #30 4 * * 6 root periodic weekly
    #30 5 1 * * root periodic monthly
    You need to remove the # on the following three lines.
    #15 3 * * * root periodic daily
    #30 4 * * 6 root periodic weekly
    #30 5 1 * * root periodic monthly
    Save the file and you should be good to go.

  • How can I extend features and enable typewriter tool in Adobe Reader

    Hello,
    I have forms that I need users to be able to complete and save, but they also need to be able to use the typewriter tool to type stuff in areas of forms that don't have fields. Is this possible? If I enable the typewriter, I can't extend features and vice-versa...

    It's one or the other. Not both.

  • How can I change preferences to enable javascript on mac (nothing happens when I click on preferences)?

    I am using Firefox 3.6.13 for Mac. I disabled Javascript (in Preferences) to see if it would affect problems with browsing speed. I then discovered I need Javascript for my email, so I went back to Preferences to enable Javascript, but when I click on Preferences now, nothing happens.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    You can also try to repair the disk permissions: http://thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html

  • How can I stop Firefox from making itself the default browser every time it upgrades?

    Every time there's a new version of firefox, it updates automatically, but it changes the windows file type settings so that firefox is now the default browser.
    I have gone to tools > options > advanced and cleared the "Always check to see if firefox is the default browser" checkbox. It's not an issue on startup, only on upgrade.
    This happens every time there's a new version of firefox.

    Unfortunately the "web browser" I want to use is just a compiled script that examines the URL and then launches the proper browser to open it (because some pages are not standards compliant and work better in a certain browser). It does not appear in the default web browser list, but when I go to Tools > Folder Options > File Types, I can edit the firefox URL, URL http and URL https types and then it will work correctly until the next firefox upgrade.
