I'm new to using dbms_scheduler. I'm trying out some basic stuff to see how it works

I have not used the dbms_scheduler package before and trying out some basic functionality to see and understand how it works. The below code is what I have writtern
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job(
job_name => 'Test_Job3',
job_type =>  'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action => 'BEGIN pr; END;',
start_date => systimestamp,
repeat_interval => 'freq=secondly;bysecond=4;',
end_date => null,
enabled => true,
comments => 'This job is test for dbms_scheduler'
END;
create procedure pr
is
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Inside the pr procedure called using scheduler');
end;
According to my understanding it should print the line inside the procedure 'pr' every 4 seconds, but I don't see any output being shown. Can someone help me understand what exaclty is wrong with my code. I'm using Toad for oracle.

One more question - I'm trying to bring in one more functionality. Lets says - There is a job that needs to be executed every month at a particular time. I schedule it, but I want this job to be executed 'n' number of times.
For example - There is procedure that is called in the scheduler. Since its processes lot of records - I'm breaking down in chunks of data - Say 5 chunks. Now when its scheduled each month at a particular time - it should ideally execute 5 times in order to complete the job for that month. How can this be achieved ? I thought of using max_runs, but that might end the job and never repeat it again.

    You do not need a new license. The license file will be found in /Library/Preferences/ and is named, com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist. Be sure it gets transferred and you will be fine. I see no reason why the file would not be in your Time Machine backup nor any reason why it would be restored.

    I suspect you are attempting to burn an HD DVD, which will not play on a DVD player...
    But if you provide more details such as the settings you are applying in Compressor, then we would be able to provide you more accurate information.
    How are you adding the files to Compressor?
    In FCP, what are your footage properties (command-9) and sequence settings (command-0)

    Hi,
    You actually tried to install photoshop 5.5 and got the message about it being 16 bit?
    (usually it's only the installer that is 16 bit and the actual program is 32 bit)
    Photoshop 5.5 should work on windows 7 x64 if you don't have more than 1 TB of free space on your hard drive.
    Your sure it's photoshop 5.5 and not an earlier photoshop version.
    You might try copying the folder that says photoshop off the cd onto your hard drive and then running the Setup.exe
    Anyway, check how much free space your hard drive has and if it's more than 1 TB, then no use trying to use photoshop 5.5 because it won't work.
    (photoshop versions before photoshop cs can't see free space on hard drives if it's more than 1 TB and would give a scratch disk full message if you try to run them)

  • I transferred about 400 gigs of data from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac using Migration Assistant, but it doesn't show on Finder. How can I locate my data?

    I transferred about 400 gigs of data from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac using Migration Assistant, but can't find any of my data on Finder. I'm thinking that the data got transferred but not cataloged. Finder shows about 400 gigs of my hard drive being used, but the files it shows don't come anywhere close to 400 gigs. How can I find out what is really on the hard drive and how can I access my MacBook files I transferred?

    I suggest that you start over, boot into Internet recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, erase and reformat the HD with one partition and GUID option, quit Disk Utility, restore the OS, and on first boot, use the Setup Assistant to migrate from the MacBook, following the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide. If that doesn't solve your problem, contact Apple's Support. If they recommend the same steps, I'd opt to return the machine and get another (you can do that the first 14 days you own it, no questions asked).

  • I use Yahoo mail on my Ipad 2 but I cannot see how to access my contacts. Other sites say I have to use Itunes. Surely this should not be necessary.

    other message boards say I have to use ITunes . Surely this is not necessary. Why is there not a tab visible on the Yahoo mail screen as there is on my windows PC?

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • HT4759 I'd bought cloud and I am looking to see how it works and still don't know. So can somebody tell me how it works, and why does money keep disappearing from my account. I didn't used iTunes match, and and copied everything I had in iTunes and am now

    1) How do I use Cloud?  I mistakingly use itune match and made copy of all I already had in tunes! 2) how do I get rid of all the copys?  3)how do I get the money that keeps disappars from my account?

    I got into a similar situation last night trying to enable wireless on my already configured wired my Time Capsule. It was getting the same or very similar 169.xxx IP address for itself.
    I found that I had to change ( I suspect it was restore my previous setting ) the Configure IPv4 item under the Internet Tab in manual setup of the Airport Utility.
    It appeared a "manually" and I changed it (back?) to "Using DHCP".
    That combined with Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode) lets the upstream router that connects directly to my Cable modem be the DHCP server for the entire network.
    As everything had worked fine for weeks until I enabled wireless it seems that the Configure Ipv4 parameter was reset either by me mistakenly or by the updating o f the changed settings. Frankly I' quite sure I didn't change it accidentally (famous last words)
    Other combinations may aslo work, but this works for me.

  • How to run the job using DBMS_SCHEDULER

    How to run the job using DBMS_SCHEDULER
    pleas give some sample Iam very new to DBMS_SCHEDULER

    Hi
    DBMS_SCHEDULER
    In Oracle 10g the DBMS_JOB package is replaced by the DBMS_SCHEDULER package. The DBMS_JOB package is now depricated and in Oracle 10g it's only provided for backward compatibility. From Oracle 10g the DBMS_JOB package should not be used any more, because is could not exist in a future version of Oracle.
    With DBMS_SCHEDULER Oracle procedures and functions can be executed. Also binary and shell-scripts can be scheduled.
    Rights
    If you have DBA rights you can do all the scheduling. For administering job scheduling you need the privileges belonging to the SCHEDULER_ADMIN role. To create and run jobs in your own schedule you need the 'CREATE JOB' privilege.
    With DBMS_JOB you needed to set an initialization parameter to start a job coordinator background process. With Oracle 10g DBMS_SCHEDULER this is not needed any more.
    If you want to user resource plans and/or consumer groups you need to set a system parameter:
    ALTER SYSTEM SET RESOURCE_LIMIT = TRUE;
    Baisc Parts: Job
    A job instructs the scheduler to run a specific program at a specific time on a specific date.
    Programs
    A program contains the code (or reference to the code ) that needs to be run to accomplish a task. It also contains parameters that should be passed to the program at runtime. And it?s an independent object that can referenced by many jobs
    Schedules
    A schedule contains a start date, an optional end date, and repeat interval with these elements; an execution schedule can be calculated.
    Windows
    A window identifies a recurring block of time during which a specific resource plan should be enabled to govern resource allocation for the database.
    Job groups
    A job group is a logical method of classifying jobs with similar characteristics.
    Window groups
    A window groups is a logical method of grouping windows. They simplify the management of windows by allowing the members of the group to be manipulated as one object. Unlike job groups, window groups don?t set default characteristics for windows that belong to the group.
    Using Job Scheduler
    SQL> drop table emp;
    SQL> Create table emp (eno int, esal int);
    SQL > begin
    dbms_scheduler.create_job (
    job_name => 'test_abc',
    job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
    job_action => 'update emp set esal=esal*10 ;',
    start_date => SYSDATE,
    repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY; INTERVAL=10',
    comments => 'Iam tesing scheduler');
    end;
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    Verification
    To verify that job was created, the DBA | ALL | USER_SCHEDULER_JOBS view can be queried.
    SQL> select job_name,enabled,run_count from user_scheduler_jobs;
    JOB_NAME ENABL RUN_COUNT
    TEST_abc FALSE 0
    Note :
    As you can see from the results, the job was indeed created, but is not enabled because the ENABLE attribute was not explicitly set in the CREATE_JOB procedure.
    Run your job

    2 dbms_scheduler.run_job('TEST_abc',TRUE);

  • Errors using dbms_scheduler instead of dbms_job

    Hello,
    I'm looking for some help using the dbms_scheduler in Oracle 10g. Up until recently, we have been happily submitting jobs in Oracle using the dbms_job.submit() command without problems. Due to this now becoming deprecated in release 10g and beyond we are looking to make use of the new dbms_scheduler.create_job() functionality. However, when trying to convert from dbms_job to dbms_scheduler, I keep getting errors when trying to run the stored procedure. I'm sure I must be missing something obvious but I just cannot put my finger on it at present.
    The set up using dbms_job is as follows:
    We have a procedure (called PRODCEURE_A) that is called directly from our code and included in the procedure is a call to dbms_job that submit a job to run PROCEDURE_C which in turn calls a PROCEDURE_B. For example PRODCEURE_A is created as follows:
    create or replace procedure PRODCEURE_A AS
    jobnum number;
    row_count number;
    current_value_date DATE;
    snapshot_id Number;
    BEGIN
    row_count :=0;
         BEGIN
              /* Fetch current value date and snapshot number */
              SELECT COL_A, (COL_A- COL_B)
              INTO current_value_date, snapshot_id
              FROM TABLE_A
              WHERE COL_C= 0;
              /* delete records from TABLE_A table that are older than 40 days */
              DELETE TABLE_A WHERE COL_A < current_value_date - 40;
              /* ensure that are no records in TABLE_A for the current settlement date */
              select count(*) into row_count
              from TABLE_A
              where COL_A = current_value_date;
              /* Insert all the Date snapshot jobs into TABLE_Awith initial status as NS */
              if row_count < 1 then
              Begin
                   insert into TABLE_A values (1, 'PROCEDURE_B', current_value_date, NULL, NULL, 'NS', NULL);
                   /* Submit the oracle job spst_execute_date_snapshot to run asynchronously */
                   dbms_job.submit(jobnum, 'PROCEDURE_C ('||''''||current_value_date||''''||', ' || snapshot_id || ');');
              End;
              END IF;
         END;
    END;
    This works without problems. A job is created and PROCEDURE_C is duly executed. I attempt to change dbms_job to dbms_scheduler as below:
    create or replace procedure PRODCEURE_A AS
    jobnum number;
    row_count number;
    current_value_date DATE;
    snapshot_id Number;
    BEGIN
    row_count :=0;
         BEGIN
              /* Fetch current value date and snapshot number */
              SELECT COL_A, (COL_A- COL_B)
              INTO current_value_date, snapshot_id
              FROM TABLE_A
              WHERE COL_C= 0;
              /* delete records from TABLE_A table that are older than 40 days */
              DELETE TABLE_A WHERE COL_A < current_value_date - 40;
              /* ensure that are no records in TABLE_A for the current settlement date */
              select count(*) into row_count
              from TABLE_A
              where COL_A = current_value_date;
              /* Insert all the Date snapshot jobs into TABLE_A with initial status as NS */
              if row_count < 1 then
              Begin
                   insert into TABLE_A values (1, 'PRODCEURE_B', current_value_date, NULL, NULL, 'NS', NULL);
                   /* Submit the oracle job spst_execute_date_snapshot to run asynchronously */
              dbms_scheduler.create_job(
    job_name => '"JOB_NAME"',
    job_type => 'STORED_PROCEDURE',
    job_action => 'PRODCEURE_C('||''''||current_value_date||''''||', ' || snapshot_id || ');',
    enabled => TRUE);
              End;
              END IF;
         END;
    END;
    However, when trying the above I get the following error:
    ORA-27452: PROCEDURE_C('22-JUL-09', 2494); is an invalid name for a database object
    When I attempt to change job_type from 'STORED_PROCEDURE' to PLSQL_BLOCK as follows:
    create or replace procedure PRODCEURE_A AS
    jobnum number;
    row_count number;
    current_value_date DATE;
    snapshot_id Number;
    BEGIN
    row_count :=0;
         BEGIN
              /* Fetch current value date and snapshot number */
              SELECT COL_A, (COL_A- COL_B)
              INTO current_value_date, snapshot_id
              FROM TABLE_A
              WHERE COL_C= 0;
              /* delete records from TABLE_A table that are older than 40 days */
              DELETE TABLE_A WHERE COL_A < current_value_date - 40;
              /* ensure that are no records in TABLE_A for the current settlement date */
              select count(*) into row_count
              from TABLE_A
              where COL_A = current_value_date;
              /* Insert all the Date snapshot jobs into TABLE_A with initial status as NS */
              if row_count < 1 then
              Begin
                   insert into TABLE_A values (1, 'PRODCEURE_B', current_value_date, NULL, NULL, 'NS', NULL);
                   /* Submit the oracle job spst_execute_date_snapshot to run asynchronously */
              dbms_scheduler.create_job(
    job_name => '"JOB_NAME"',
    job_type => PLSQL_BLOCK',
    job_action => 'BEGIN PRODCEURE_C('||''''||current_value_date||''''||', ' || snapshot_id || '); END;',
    enabled => TRUE);
              End;
              END IF;
         END;
    END;
    This gives the following error:
    ORA-02089: COMMIT is not allowed in a subordinate session
    I'm stumped by both of these errors. Firstly, why should I get an error reported that the PROCEDURE_C is an invalid name? It lives in the user's schema that is running PROCEDURE_A (and so submitting the scheduled job?)
    Secondly, why the COMMIT error when running as a PLSQL_BLOCK? I can't see any commit is used within the procedure itself.
    Any help would be welcomed. If more info required, please let me know.
    Thank you.

    One question.
    Are you aware that DBMS_SCHEDULER will do a commit for you?
    http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:25405608521707
    umm, dbms_job does not commit.
    A job when run will have it's transaction ended. That is expoected, normal, correct.
    But when you CALL dbms_job - to submit a job - dbms_job.submit DOES NOT COMMIT.
    So, no, dbms_job does not commit.
    So that would break your existing transaction (if you replaced dbms_job with dbms_scheduler). If you're ok with that then your issue is still pertinent, if not, then it's obviated by you not being able to use dbms_scheduler :D)

    I have itunes directory on an external hard drive and want to direct a new installation of itunes on windows 8 to use it. I tried holding down ctrl and clicking itunes and after many tries got it to work one time. When I went back in later it had reverted back to a blank version of itunes and I cant get ctrl to work again. Any other ideas?

    This is sometimes caused by a problem with the iTunesPrefs.xml file, normally found at C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml. Try dragging this to the desktop and trying again.
    Alternatively the problem may be that you have McAfee AV and it is preventing iTunes from updating the same file and thus causing the problem. See Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml? for details.
