Schedule a job using dbms_job package

SQL to schedule a job using DBMS_JOB.
variable jobno number;
variable status number;
begin
dbms_job.submit(:jobno, 'x(:status);', trunc(sysdate)+8/24,
'trunc(sysdate)+1+8/24', null);
commit;
end;
It fails and returns the following error ...
ORA-01008: not all variables bound
Is it possible to schedule a job to run a procedure with "IN OUT" parameter? I would appreciate any assistance.
Proc runs if I execute it from command mode and there are no issues.

You cannot pass parameters back from a job-- Oracle spawns a separate session to run your job, so that session would receive any OUT parameters and end immediately after the job finishes. Even if Oracle let you do this, you would lose the OUT value as soon as the job ended.
If you want a job to return a status, you can-
1) Store the status in a table
2) Queue a status message in an Oracle Advanced Queue
3) Use dbms_alert to alert another process

Scheduling stored procedure using DBMS_JOB package

I have stored procedure called extract_every_day, I want this procedure to run automatically at 7:00 PM every day.
I used DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT to achieve this, below is pl/sql block
DECLARE
v_jobno number ;
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT
(v_jobno,
' extract_every_day ',
TRUNC (SYSDATE) + 1 + 9/24,
'TRUNC (SYSDATE) + 1 + 9/24');
COMMIT;
END;
When I run above pl/sql block is that mean procedure extract_every_day executes every day and what is the significance of job OUT parameter in DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT procedure. Also how can I see list of jobs submitted.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

The OUT parameter is the unique number of the job being executed. This is the Sequence generated from sequence sys.jobseq
Also, in the example you have provided, the Job will run at 9Am and not 7PM.
To make it run at 7PM every day change the following lines :
'TRUNC (SYSDATE) + 1 + 9/24'
'TRUNC (SYSDATE) + 1 + 9/24'
To ,
'TRUNC (SYSDATE) + 19/24' <-- Changed
'TRUNC (SYSDATE) + 1 + 19/24' <-- Changed
Also do remember to include the parameter "job_queue_processes" parameter within the init.ora file. This parameter is used to determine the max no
of concurrently running jobs (i.e. Set in Init.ora).
NOTE :- Job_queue_process cannot be set to 0. If set to 0, no jobs is run.
he view dba_jobs and dba_jobs_running should be used to view the jobs.

Schedule a job in dbms_job which should run first of every month at 14:00.

Hi Gurus,
I want to schedule a job in dbms_job which should run on first of every month at 14:00.
Job will execute a stored procedure.
With Regards,
Gopal.

Hi Aman,
My DB version is 10g but it was migrated from 9i fews weeks back.I'm aware that dbms_scheduler is very easy to use.I tried to use dbms_scheduler but the stored procedure which the job executing uses user_jobs and dba_jobs in the script to do some tasks.So, I have to use dbms_job option.
Just as an FYI for future posts ... that could have been very useful information to know up front. It's very difficult to give good advice when someone sets seemingly arbitrary restrictions on what constitutes an acceptable solution (must use dba_jobs) with no explanation of the reason for said restrictions.
I used trunc(LAST_DATE(SYSDATE) +1)+14/24 to schedule the job.
Thanks Aman.. I follow your blog :)

Schedule background job using system variant

Dear gurus,
We're planning to schedule background job using system variant, for example, current fiscal year and current posting period (transaction AFAB). Is it possible? So for example, for this month, "Posting Period" value will be 6, and then next month will be 7.
Can you tell me how to do this, if I want to set up the schedule only once?
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards,

Submitting Oracle job via OCCI using dbms_job package

I am using 10g client to connect to a 9i Database on Redhat Linux AS 3.0.
I am trying to submit a job via OCCI. I get back a jobId, but don't see the job in the user_jobs table or the result of the job being executed.
I am using occi::Statement in the following way :
stmt = connection->createStatement("begin dbms_job.submit(:v1, 'submitJobTest;', sysdate,'sysdate+1'); end;");
// where submitJobTest is a stored procedure
stmt->registerOutParam(1, OCCIINT);
stmt->executeUpdate();
int jobId = stmt->getInt(1);
I get back a job id, but can't find it in the user_jobs. The first time I executed the program, i got back jobId 0, then 1 and so on..
Any ideas? Do I need to use dbms_scheduler package?
Thanks, Nilofer

Good catch!
Had a bug, in that my autocommit was not being set!
Works now.
Thanks,

Using dbms_job package

1.I wanted to know if I can run a .sql file from the dbms_job package.
2. I also wanted to know the feature in oracle that I can use to send email to myself once the job is executed- showing successful execution or errors.
Thanks for your suggestions.

You cannot pass parameters back from a job-- Oracle spawns a separate session to run your job, so that session would receive any OUT parameters and end immediately after the job finishes. Even if Oracle let you do this, you would lose the OUT value as soon as the job ended.

To submit a job in dbms_job package with specific durations

Hi,
Want to set a job to run everyday from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm for every 30 min after that every hour.I want to set this in dbms_job package.The database is 10.2.0.3
The implementation notation used is
variable jobno number;
exec dbms_job.submit(:jobno,'begin procedurename; end;',sysdate,
'case when sysdate-trunc(sysdate)>=8/24 and sysdate-trunc(sysdate)<18/24 then sysdate+30/1440 else sysdate+1/24');
but the error resulted is parameter value not appropriate.

Hi,
Obviously because you have two different interval strings 'sysdate+30/1440' and 'sysdate+1/24'.
(The interval strings are inaccurate, but that's a different story)
The preferred solution in 10g would be to use dbms_scheduler.
A workaround using dbms_job would be to use 2 ancilliary jobs to change the interval of your main job twice a day, calling dbms_job.interval.
Your interval strings will cause the time to drift.
You need to use trunc(sysdate,'HH24') instead of just sysdate.

Schedule Background job using transaction CATM

Hi all,
Since we cannot schedule a background job using transaction CATM, I have created a program calling the CATM transaction through batch-input.
I have done a recording and entered the coding in a Z-program. For a vendor, I have recorded time in CAT2 for multiple purchase orders.
After entering the vendor number in CATM, all the purchase orders showed up. I have clicked 'select all' and posted.
When I run the program in the background, it posts only for one purchase order.
When I run the program in the foreground, using the Select All-button it only proceeds with the first line in my list of PO's.
How to read the whole stack and post the whole stack of purchase orders?
Please help me out with this.
Thanks
Regards

Hi,
When I run the program in the background, it posts only for one purchase order.
When I run the program in the foreground, using the Select All-button it only proceeds with the first line in my list of PO's.
See..it's a Z-program so Its difficult to answer without checking the program. But I think, you should check your BDC again from Debugging, with the help of your abaper. You will find, why its is processing only one entry.

Scheduling the job using different use id.

I have written one program which can schedule a job in background.
The problem i am facing is that some users does not have authorisation to execute the job in background.
Client has created one userid and wants that whosoever will execute the program the job should be scehdeule by that user id ireespective of who is running the program.

Hello,
Seems like you are using "Batch Input" method for your BG processing. If so, where is your JOB_SUBMIT?
Please check your code & let us know.

PS: You can refer to the program RKKBBG00 for details.

Is this the correct syntax to submit a job using DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT?

Hello,
Is this the correct syntax to submit a job?
DECLARE
v_job_number NUMBER;
v_job_command VARCHAR2(1000) := 'PREPARE_ORACLE_TEXT_SEARCH;';
v_interval VARCHAR2(1000) := 'trunc(SYSDATE)+1+7/24';
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(v_job_number, v_job_command, sysdate, v_interval, false);
COMMIT;
END;
Thanks
Doug

DECLARE
v_job_number NUMBER;
v_job_command VARCHAR2(1000) := 'BEGIN
PREPARE_ORACLE_TEXT_SEARCH; END;';
v_interval VARCHAR2(1000) :=
'trunc(SYSDATE)+1+7/24';
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(v_job_number, v_job_command, sysdate,
v_interval, false);
COMMIT;
END;
About your error:
PLS-00201: identifier 'PREPARE_ORACLE_TEXT_SEARCH'
must be declared
ORA-06550: line 1, column 96:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
The problem is that the job cannot find the procedure
(maybe own by an other user). The user who run the
job is not the same as the owner of the package.
Bye, AronYou forget the semicolon after END.
But we don't need here begin - end Block.
So it's OK.
v_job_command VARCHAR2(1000) := 'PREPARE_ORACLE_TEXT_SEARCH;'[b];
As you right mentioned, it is probably problem with owner or typo in the name of procedure.

How to schedule a job to run after completion of each run using DBMS_JOB ?

Hi Gurus,
Please let me know if the subject requirement can be fulfilled. I want to schedule a job using DBMS_JOB to run a script sequentially after completion of each run.
Thanks in advance.
Santosh

Hi Santosh
Instead to use the old dbms_job package use the dbms_scheduler and raise / catch events.
Oracle create dbms_scheduler also for this purpose you need.
You can find tons of examples on the web.

How can event driven scheduling will be acheived using DBMS_JOB

Hi,
I am running oracle jobs using DBMS_JOB package . I need to check for particular event is happend or not then only It should run my job.Can I acheive this using dbms_job.What is the syntax for it.Where Can i add dependencies in dbms_job
Thanks

Job 1 - finishes 2 AM
Job 2 should start right after Job 1 , this is a dependency tree and dbms_job is not good at this.
If this is your requirement then you have to build your own wrappers on top of dbms_job to make it happen. Simplest is to loop and wait till job 1 finishes and then launch job 2.

About DBMS_JOB Package

Hi Everyone,
I assinged a job using dbms_job package whose interval is after every 5 minutes. But the jobs are not activated i.e, not running. Can anybody explain me to solve this problem.
Thanks
Krishna

Hi, Krishna
Also, you may need to change some initialization parameters in your database.
In order for jobs to be executed, you have to define how many processes will be ready to execute jobs.
You will also have to define how frequently the database checks for jobs (the default is every 10 minutes).
Both values are defined in the INIT<databasename>.ORA file.
Examples:
job_queue_processes = 2
job_queue_interval = 60 (seconds)
The lower the interval, the slower the database. Adjust the number of processes according to the number of simultaneous jobs.
You can check if the values are already defined by the following query:
select name, value from v$parameter
where name like '%job%';If you change the init.ora file, remember to shutdown and restart your database.
Hope this gets you started,
Pedro.
