repeat_interval => 'FREQ=daily',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'Auto Refresh'
END;

Can you please run this below snippet
BEGIN
   DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (job_name => 'emp_job',
                              job_type          => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
                              job_action        => 'begin pack.p1;commit;end;',
                              repeat_interval   => 'FREQ=DAILY; BYHOUR=6;',
                              enabled           => TRUE,
                              comments          => 'Auto Refresh');
END;
Check what you see as output with the below query.
select state from dba_scheduler_jobs where job_name = 'EMP_JOB';
If it shows 'Scheduled' then its fine.. All this stuff is beatifully depicted in the link I gave u in my earlier post.
To run the job right away and check, execute the below:
BEGIN
   DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_job ('emp_job', FALSE);
END;
Also can you add a proper exception handler in that job_action block.
Cheers,
Manik.
