Schedule something to run every Saturday?

I'm new to the new scheduler in the 10g R2 database. I was trying to create a scheduleusing the Enterprise Manager web page that would run every Saturday night. I wasn't sure what to enter as the interval. When I entered 52 I got an Oracle error that there was an error in the interval syntax. Does anyone know what I need to do to set up a once a week schedule?

Hi
Mhmm... where did you enter 52?
When you create a schedule you should set in the section "Repeating":
Repeat: By Weeks
Days of Week: Saturday
Time: the time...

Dba_job that runs every saturday?

There is a bug in oracle 10.1.0.3 that causes issues when running the default analyzer with dbms_scheduler. Oracle records that I drop this and run it as a dba_job.

Can you use crontab command ?
I think this will help and with less headache.

Schedule Job to run every day at 01:00:00 i.e. mid-night 01:00 AM

Dear Gurus,
I want to create a job that will run every day at 01:00:00 i.e. mid-night 01:00 AM.
and the above job will be started from 2-Jul-2010 01:00:00
I have created below code.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB(
JOB_NAME => 'Smry_Dly_Trial'
,JOB_TYPE => 'PLSQL_BLOCK'
,JOB_ACTION => 'BEGIN Periodic.Execute_Smry_Job(''HOURLY''); END;'
,START_DATE => to_date('2-Jul-2010 01:00:00','DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
,REPEAT_INTERVAL => 'FREQ=DAILY; BYDAY=MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI,SAT,SUN; BYHOUR=1;'
,ENABLED => TRUE
,COMMENTS => 'Generates Call Summary Daily');
END;
Could any one suggest me is it fine or any change needed.
Regards

Seems fine.
You could also use trunc(to_date('01-jul-2010'))+1+1/24 for your start date.

Scheduling job to run every 2 weeks in oracle 10g

Can anyone tell me how I can schedule a job to every 2 weeks start first monday of a month? An example would be great.
My email address is [email protected]
Regards
Manish

Hi,
"2 weeks start first monday of a month" sounds like the 1st, third and possibly the fifth Monday of the month.
So you can try
repeat_interval=>'FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=MO;BYSETPOS=1,3,5'
You can use the following to test this expression
create or replace procedure print_dates
cal_string in varchar2,
start_date in timestamp with time zone,
nr_of_dates in pls_integer
is
date_after timestamp with time zone := start_date - interval '1' second;
next_execution_date timestamp with time zone;
begin
for i in 1 .. nr_of_dates
loop
dbms_scheduler.evaluate_calendar_string
(cal_string, start_date, date_after, next_execution_date);
dbms_output.put_line(to_char(next_execution_date,
'DY DD-MON-YYYY (DDD-IW) HH24:MI:SS TZH:TZM TZR'));
date_after := next_execution_date;
end loop;
end;
exec print_dates('FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=MO;BYSETPOS=1,3,5',sysdate,12);

Dynamic date parameters for a scheduled report that runs every day

I have a report that has input parameters for a start date and
end date. The report will be scheduled to run once a day at a
scheduled time. I need the report to automatically set the start
date and end dates when the report runs at the scheduled time.
When the report runs at the scheduled time, the end date needs
to be set to that time and the start date needs to be set to 24
hrs before the end date. I want the start and end dates to roll
forward automatically when the scheduled report runs each day. I
don't want any user intervention to change the start and end
dates every day. How can I do this in a report ?
Also, since the report is scheduled to run each day, I want the
output to be saved to a unique file name each time the report is
run as each day's report will report on the data only for that
day. How can I get the report to save to a unique file name
automatically each day ? Again, I don't want any user
intervention where they would set the output file name manually.

Try adding the following in the beforereport or beforepform
trigger, before the RETURN clause (TRUNC gets rid of the time
component of the date):
:p_date_from := TRUNC(sysdate) - 1;
:p_date_to := TRUNC(sysdate);
:desname := 'REPORT'||TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYY')||'.txt'

How to run job every saturday 8p.m.

I have run the job weekly i.e. every saturday 8pm
could you pls advice me what I shoudl do in scheduler

Hi Nav,
Schedule it as a database job as below
BEGIN
--Create a schedule
dbms_scheduler.create_schedule (schedule_name => 'RUN_EVERY_FRIDAY_800PM', start_date=> trunc(sysdate)+18/24, repeat_interval=> 'FREQ=DAILY; BYDAY=FRI; BYHOUR=20;', comments=>'Runtime: Run at 8pm every Friday');
--Create a Program
dbms_scheduler.create_program (program_name=> 'My_Program', program_type=> 'STORED_PROCEDURE', program_action=> 'pkg_my.procedure1', enabled=>true, comments=>'Call Procedure1 procedure in pkg_my package' );
--Use Schedular and program and create a job
dbms_scheduler.create_job (job_name => 'My_Job', program_name=> 'My_Program', schedule_name=>'RUN_EVERY_FRIDAY_800PM', enabled=>true, auto_drop=>false, comments=>'Run My_Program every friday 8pm');
END; In above I have use 3 steps, Advantage of this is
01. when you want to use same things for another job you can easily use it. For a example if you wnat to run anther program in "Every Friday 8pm" then you can use same scheduler for that job as well.
02. If you use same schedule for multiple jobs and if you change that schedule, then all jobs whish were use that schedule will affect. So you can easily group jobs together.
But if you wnat to run that progarm only ones then you can use below code to do that
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
    job_name        => 'My_Job',
    job_type        => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
    job_action      => 'BEGIN pkg_my.procedure1; END;',
    start_date      => trunc(sysdate)+18/24,
    repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY; BYDAY=FRI; BYHOUR=20;',
    end_date        => NULL,
    enabled         => TRUE,
    comments        => 'Run My_Program every friday 8pm');Thanks

Run a program every saturday night 12

i want to run my program every Saturday night 12 anybody knows how can i do this

hi,
There are two ways for you to handle,
one manually setting up the job through SM36 which is better and convinient,
secondly through program using FM's JOB_OPEN, SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE.
Find below steps in doing both:
Procedure 1:
1. Goto Trans -> SM36
2. Define a job with the program and variant if any
3. Click on start condition in application tool bar
4. In the pop-up window, click on Date/Time
5. Below you can see a check box "Periodic Job"
6. Next click on Period Values
7. Select "Other Period"
8. Now give '15' for Minutes
9. Save the job
In SM37 u can check the status of the jobs that u have assigned to background...
Here u mention the job name or the report name to check the status of the job...
After mentioning the job name or program name u just execute it.. ( without any name also u can execute then it gives u all the jobs set by your user name..
the status colud be released,active,finished etc..
Procedure 2 via Program:
Below is a sample code for the same. Note the ZTEMP2 is the program i am scheduling with 15mins frequency.
DATA: P_JOBCNT LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBCOUNT,
      L_RELEASE(1) TYPE c.
   CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'

HOW TO SCHEDULE A JOB TO RUN EVERY 30 MINS WITHOUT USING SCHEDULAR?

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to schedule the job to run every 30 mins for 10 am to 10 pm. I ran into problems using odi schedular. Let me tell you what i did..
i have chosen the active mode between 10 am to 10 pm
selected on startup/simple.
and on the repetitions tab selected many times with 30 mins duration.
the problem was-----
a)it was not stopping at 10 pm but continues after 10 pm
b)randomly picking up more times than the 1/2 hour duration.
looking for---
a solution that runs my scenario every 30 mins from 10 am to 10 pm without using the schedular...which i cannot trust.
Regards
Venkat

Venkat,
Here is an alternate solution that i can think of:
create a package with the following components:
Variable(Refresh) -> OK -> Execute StartScen(YourJob) in Asynchronous mode -> odiSleep(30 mins) -> Loop to Variable Refresh
Variable (Refresh) -> KO -> odiSleep(30 mins) {if the refresh of the variable fails to get any value then skip the Job execution}
The Refresh query should be
select 1 from dual where to_char(sysdate, 'hh24mi') between '1000' and '2200'

My Xserve does not wake up every Saturday from a cold start / cold boot up.

Hello, everyone,
This is my first time using this Apple Discussions Forum here and so hope any expert out there who can solve my problem, I'd deeply appreciated. Basically the problem is like this.
I configured Xserve to
wake up 8:50 am wake up every morning.
shut down system 1:00 am every morning.
There are two places to be configured here:
1. System Preferences' Energy Saver
2. Workgroup Manager>Computer List>Preferences> Schedules>Mac OS X Server.
The time schedules in those two places are ensured to be at the same setting.
(does anyone know which is the main one?)
Furthermore,
I have a clock timer set to 2:00 am to shut down the main power supply to the Xserve. And so,
Power Supply timer provides power to Xserve:
8:40 am every morning (before scheduled Xserve waking up time, 8:50 am)
Power supply cut down the power to Xserve:
2:00 am every morning (after scheduled Xserve shutting down time, 1:00 am)
Why am I doing this? Because I think it is good for Xserve's power supply fan. If I let Xserve's power supply run 24/7 for years, the motor is wearing down soon. It also saves some energy for me.
Normally the power supply would first provides the power to Xserve before Xserve would boot up as scheduled.
Now, this setting works pretty well for me for months until recently.
My Xserve will not boot up every Saturday morning as scheduled. I cannot figure out why it does this weird behavior.
I tried to search forums and google many many places, and find no solution.
Here are a list of things I have tried:
I changed 2 new PRAM battery twice in one month.
I have tried to reset SMC.
I have tried to reset PRAM.
I tried to reset PRAM before SMC reset. I also tried to reset SMC before PRAM reset.
Worse yet, on Saturday morning, Xserve is like in a deep coma, I tried to remotely boot it up by LOM, it does not even respond to my LOM waking up call. It is like a naughty kid refusing to wake up in the Saturday morning. The only way to wake it up is that I I have to take a long walk and physically go to my Xserve and hold the power button for 5 seconds and press it again and so it wakes up. Note that if I just press the power button once, it does not boot up neither. Why?
Then the next day, it is normal again for another 6 days until next Saturday. I could not figure out why it does this. Why just Saturday? Why not Sunday or any other day between Monday to Friday?
Funny and strange behavior.
The problem is periodic and so I believe it has something to do with the software and/or the PRAM caching the alarm time, which may influence the SMC setting.
Note: the Apple website says SMC controls the waking time while Apple manual also says PRAM is responsible for alarm clock.
I would normally
shut down system
unplug the cable
hold the power button for 5 seconds and let it go
plug back the power cable.
Xserve should either boot up by itself or stay cold for me to boot up.
note: the manual just say unplug the cable for 5 sec but did not say hold the power button for 5 second, and I think that is wrong; you have indeed have to hold the power button for 5 seconds as the Apple website said. Otherwise when I cut down power supply every day, my SMC is reset by itself every day.
I have a voltage regulator before my Xserve's power supply and so the voltage is very stable.
Any Xserve experts out there has the same problem like I do??

Hi, MrHoffman , I couldn't agree more with your view point. Xserve not only reacts poorly to sudden power shortage, its HDDs may also get hurt during sudden power removal. Therefore, I was extremely careful when resetting SMC. Bad SMC procedure can hurt HDD.
MrHoffman , my problem is not totally solved and you knew I will come back, right? I do accidentally find your blog. Is the site yours?
http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/976
Your blog and threads from here has inspired me to investigate in the direction on LOM issue. Thank you.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11911509
http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11902981
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11255905&#11255905
I've come to narrow down the problem and suspect the root cause is LOM bug. Basically this is what happens in the last 4 days.
After nearly 3 weeks of monitoring my Xserve, it was running perfectly normal until 4 days ago. Suddenly, my Xserve fails to wake up for 4 days in a row. I almost made it---a perfect run for 1 month without ever having to reset SMC once! This time, the failed waking-up event took place during normal weekdays. So it is still a mystery to me that why my Xserve previously fails to wake up only on Saturday (perhaps, hackers prefer Saturday because that's when they are free?---just kidding). However, at least I now know the problem can take place at anytime.
Maybe I should first list my Xserve's specification.
Xserve Late 2006 Model
2.0 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
8G RAM
Mac OS X Leopard Server 10.5.8 (Build 9L34)
Boot ROM: XS11.0080.B01
LOM version: 1.2.8
I am only using en0 for both LAN and LOM.
So since I was not able to wake up my Xserve remotely by LOM, it is intuitive to check Server Monitor on Xserve side.
On my Xserve side, I had
Name: Nothing (it was localhost)
IP Address: 127.0.0.1
Status Summary: Software is not installed properly on server.
At this point, I was wondering where did my Status Summary go? So as an incentive move, I delete the 127.0.0.1 from Server Monitor list and go to >Server Monitor>Server>Configure Local Machine, trying to re-add the localhost server back to Server Monitor list. Then it is when all of the troubles occur.
The Server Monitor simply hangs there. When check Finder>Force Quit Applications, I see Server Monitor (not responding).
So I was questioning myself that if this failed waking-up event is a software issue or a hardware sensor issue. Before answering to this question, as a good habit, let me post my log file.
