Run procedure in background

Hello everybody.
Happy chrismast and happy new year to all.
One simple question.
How I can call a PL/SQL procedure and run it in background mode from other PL/SQL procedure?
Thanks in advanced & best regards to all.

Hi,
Executing a plsql procedure in the background is easy, for example the following executes myproc immediately in the background.
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job('my_job',
    job_type=>'plsql_block',
    job_action=>'my_proc();',
    enabled=>true);
end;
/To see how to trigger a procedure whenever an event occurs you can use an event-based job, there is an example here
Re: Event Based scheduling
There is also a forum dedicated to the scheduler here
Scheduler
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Apps running in the background

It seems to be if you have the app linked to a watch complication or you have it on your glances page, then those apps loads much faster. I figure they are always running so the data can be displayed on the watch face or quickly at a glance.
So if you have every possible app on your glances page, then your battery life would drain much faster than if you have fewer apps.
I only have 3-4 apps on my glances page and I can easily get 20 hours of battery life, and this includes a 1 hour workout using GPS and HR monitoring.

Tbh, the biggest battery drain is your email push settings. I'd look at those before worrying about terminating background apps.
You can see everything that's running on your phone by using a "process monitor" app. I use one called "iStat". Unfortunately, iStat can only show you what's running, it can;t actually kill anything. It will definitely tell you which of the 1st party programs (browser, email, ipod) are running in the background.
If you actually want to kill one of these, the procedure is:
Open the app in question (e.g. launch the ipod app)
Hold the power/sleep button until the red slider appears.
Hold the sleep button for around 6 seconds (eventually the red slider will disappear and you will be returned to the home screen).
Whichever app was running (e.g. ipod) will now be forced to close.
** note: To close safari, you can simply close all the "tabs" down, and then exit. If you close safari when there are no tabs in use, it will completely shut down.

Running reports in background?

hi,
is it possible to run reports in background? i'm trying to find a way where in i can run / submit a process/procedure/report then go back to it after its done. this will help me allow do some other things while waiting for a report to finish.
has anyone done this?
thanks
allen

I didn't read the full article you linked to Tony, but you can just use one of the functions available in the apex_util package. (apex_util.get_print_document) - which returns the report into a blob variable.
See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/apirefs.40/e15519/apex_util.htm#CHDDECIA

How do I find out what applications are running in the background

I have a 2008 iMac with 2GB memory. How do I find out what programs are running in the background? I am going to buy a new iMac before the end of the year to replace this one. When I looked at Activity Monitor it shows 1.8Gb used but doesn't tell all the programs running.

open activity monitor [if it doesnt launch click winders>Activity Monitor]. then it'll show all proceses

Adobe Bridge not running in the background

I have bridge setup to load and run in the background when I start windows. However it doesn't run in the background but launches and runs as normal.the icon does not load in the control panel as does other programs that load and run in the background. Running a 64bit windows 7 machine

You can disable this option at any time, Hope this helps.
I don't have CC but others say the standard option is not there. Can you confirm it is?

When I click on a new link, it opens a whole new firefox instead of using my default which is running in the background

I have firefox as my default browser. Anytime I click on an email or search for something, instead of opening my default browser, firefox loads a new firefox page. It is a blank page just as if I had never had one. It has nothing on it except how you would start out before you set up your tabs and history etc. My default firefox is still there running in the background but I must click on it and manually put in the link I was trying to open.
Any suggestions.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift ''(Mac Options)'' >''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Can the width of a report that has been run in the background be increased?

Hello Experts,
How can I increase the width of a report that I have run in the background so that it does not wrap text to the next line?
I have been running the same HR report successfully in the background for many months. Today I ran it with the same parameters that I've always used and when I retrieve it from my Own Job Spool - System | Own Spool Request | Display Contents the last field is wrapped to the next line.
Thanks.
Regards,
Jeanette

Jeanette,
Thereu2019s another possibility if Tedu2019s suggestion doesnu2019t work. When you look at your spool requests, thereu2019s an icon on the toolbar next to the eyeglasses that looks like a yellow rectangular callout. Itu2019s called u201CDisplay in Maximum Widthu201D. Select the Spool no. to display and then press this icon. Shift + F4 is the shortcut.
Regards,
Howard

This is a question that should probably be posed in the Developer forum.

The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet. Are you still using the same wireless router. The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace. For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio. I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

Is it possible to create a thread and run it in background in nokia ??

Is it possible to create a thread and run it in background in nokia series 40 mobile phones using j2me ??

Probably a good question for ForumNokia. If you mean start up a thread and run in the background while your MIDlet UI does other things, then sure, why not. If you mean that you want to exit your MIDlet, but leave a thread running in the background, then I don't believe you can do this on series 40. S60 is another story since it supports multiple tasks.

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. What are you using?

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. Suggestions? What are you using? I tried Loopseque and I like it, but I can't make it run once I switch apps. Help please.

That's definitely strange, kzmidge. I want a working phone in your hands though. I noticed you mentioned you received the suggestion to complete a reset. Did you already do that? Is it working again? Are you receiving an error message?
If you hesitated a little longer to complete the reset, you can try to place your phone into Safe Mode http://vz.to/rxg0ii and see if you can access mobile sites from your browser. This mode will stop 3rd party applications from running, so you won't be able to use the apps you mentioned but we may be able to narrow down the trouble in Safe Mode. If the mobile sites work, that means the trouble may be in a recently downloaded application and you may be able to avoid the reset my uninstalling some of your more recently installed applications. If it's still giving you trouble, the reset http://vz.to/18wzOCi is the next best step.

Error while running procedure for refreshing AWS

Hello There,
I am using a procedure which consists the script of refreshing the analytic workspace. I call this procedure from Business objects data services for automatic refresh.
It used to work perfectly until the recent changes implemented.
The issue is, when I run the procedure the cube refreshes successfully. When the same procedure is called from BODS, it shows an error.
Error is :: XOQ-01601: error while loading data for cube dimension "BI_PETRA_DWH.ACTIVITY_TIME" into analytic workspace
Underlying DB error is : ORA-01858: a non -numeric character was found where a numeric was expected.
I dont get this error if I run procedure directly in SQL developer.
I verified attribues of dimension, there is only one numeric attribute and it is mapped to only numeric columns of view.
Can you please help me fixing this issue?
Thanks in advance.
