Run a database procedure every 15 minutes?

Question

Hi. I have the following procedure:
call_queue_cleanup;I'm hoping someone could share some code that would allow me to run this procedure automatically from the database every 15 minutes? Any help with this code would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Hi. Thanks for the suggestion! However, I'm not certain my job/procedure is running successfully. Perhaps my syntax for calling the procedure is wrong? Any ideas? I'm not getting any errors when I create the job and I do see the dbms_output when I initially create it. Is there a special way to see if my job has run or has errors? Also, should I be seeing the dbms_output every 15 minutes or only the first time I create the job?
DECLARE
  X NUMBER;
BEGIN
  SYS.DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT
    ( job       => X
     ,what      => 'call_queue_cleanup;'
     ,next_date => to_date('18/12/2012 09:42:44','dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
     ,interval  => 'SYSDATE+15/1440 '
     ,no_parse  => TRUE
  SYS.DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Job Number is: ' || to_char(x));
END;
commit;
