Hi,
For 10g and up you should be using dbms_scheduler for scheduling. Some examples are here
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/scheduse.htm#i1033533
and the homepage is at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/scheduler/index.html
Here's an example that runs daily at 2am
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job('myjob',
    job_type=>'plsql_block',
    job_action=>'dbms_lock.sleep(10);',
    start_date=>null,
    repeat_interval=>'freq=daily;byhour=2;byminute=0',
    enabled=>true , auto_drop=>true
end;
/Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Scheduling job using DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT()

Hi people I hav esubmitted a job using DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT() package.I have set the time it should run after 5 minutes from the time i created.but now my question is how do we know the submitted job has been executed within specified interval?.am using oracle 9i.please suggest me.
Regards
VIDS

You should refer to DBA_JOBS and DBA_JOBS_RUNNING views to get information about your jobs

Using DBMS_JOB,SUBMIT

Hello,
I would like to find out how to use DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT to run a certain procedure evry morning at say 5:00 AM
Thanks
Doug

Hi,
This info. taken from oracle documentation............... For more info look in oracle Documentation. I hope this will help you.
DBMS_JOB subprograms schedule and manage jobs in the job queue.
This chapter discusses the following topics:
Requirements
Using the DBMS_JOB Package with Oracle Real Application Clusters
Summary of DBMS_JOB Subprograms
Requirements
There are no database privileges associated with jobs. DBMS_JOB does not allow a user to touch any jobs except their own.
Using the DBMS_JOB Package with Oracle Real Application Clusters
For this example, a constant in DBMS_JOB indicates "no mapping" among jobs and instances, that is, jobs can be executed by any instance.
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT
To submit a job to the job queue, use the following syntax:
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT( JOB OUT BINARY_INTEGER,
WHAT IN VARCHAR2, NEXT_DATE IN DATE DEFAULTSYSDATE,
INTERVAL IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'NULL',
NO_PARSE IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
INSTANCE IN BINARY_INTEGER DEFAULT ANY_INSTANCE,
FORCE IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE)
Use the parameters INSTANCE and FORCE to control job and instance affinity. The default value of INSTANCE is 0 (zero) to indicate that any instance can execute the job. To run the job on a certain instance, specify the INSTANCE value. Oracle displays error ORA-23319 if the INSTANCE value is a negative number or NULL.
The FORCE parameter defaults to FALSE. If force is TRUE, any positive integer is acceptable as the job instance. If FORCE is FALSE, the specified instance must be running, or Oracle displays error number ORA-23428.
DBMS_JOB.INSTANCE
To assign a particular instance to execute a job, use the following syntax:
DBMS_JOB.INSTANCE( JOB IN BINARY_INTEGER,
INSTANCE IN BINARY_INTEGER,
FORCE IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE)
The FORCE parameter in this example defaults to FALSE. If the instance value is 0 (zero), job affinity is altered and any available instance can execute the job despite the value of force. If the INSTANCE value is positive and the FORCE parameter is FALSE, job affinity is altered only if the specified instance is running, or Oracle displays error ORA-23428.
If the FORCE parameter is TRUE, any positive integer is acceptable as the job instance and the job affinity is altered. Oracle displays error ORA-23319 if the INSTANCE value is negative or NULL.
DBMS_JOB.CHANGE
To alter user-definable parameters associated with a job, use the following syntax:
DBMS_JOB.CHANGE( JOB IN BINARY_INTEGER,
WHAT IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
NEXT_DATE IN DATE DEFAULT NULL,
INTERVAL IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
INSTANCE IN BINARY_INTEGER DEFAULT NULL,
FORCE IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE )
Two parameters, INSTANCE and FORCE, appear in this example. The default value of INSTANCE is NULL indicating that job affinity will not change.
The default value of FORCE is FALSE. Oracle displays error ORA-23428 if the specified instance is not running and error ORA-23319 if the INSTANCE number is negative.
DBMS_JOB.RUN
The FORCE parameter for DBMS_JOB.RUN defaults to FALSE. If force is TRUE, instance affinity is irrelevant for running jobs in the foreground process. If force is FALSE, the job can run in the foreground only in the specified instance. Oracle displays error ORA-23428 if force is FALSE and the connected instance is the incorrect instance.
DBMS_JOB.RUN( JOB IN BINARY_INTEGER,
FORCE IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE)

Running a procedure which has parameters using dbms_job.submit

I have a procedure which accepts some parameter and i need to schedule this using dbms_job in another procedure. My intention is to execute test_proc without waiting for test_asynch_proc
CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE test_asynch_proc(p_1 in number) as
i number;
BEGIN
for i in 1.. 100000
loop
     insert into item_p values (dbms_random.random, p_1,sysdate);
end loop;
commit;
END;
I have another procedure which does an asynchronous call to this procedure by scheduling this procedure.
create or replace procedure test_proc is
jobno binary_integer;
--x number :=100;
begin
     insert into test_table values(1,sysdate);
     dbms_job.submit(job => jobNo,
     what=>'test_asynch_proc(''100'');',
     next_date=>sysdate );
commit;
dbms_output.put_line ('insert complete at '|| to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));
end;
but here instead of
what=>'test_asynch_proc(''100'');'
i need to give a variable. How can i do that?
Thanks,
mv

There is another possibility where job parameters are stored in a parameter table with the job number that can be retrieved by the job code:

Tuning a procedure and using dbms_job.submit proc that call's functions

Hi
I have Procedure that have 3 curosrs which are nested one below with in each other
and it looks as below
it's structure will look some thing look like this
declare
empno_fetch number;
CURSOR deu_process IS
SELECT empno
FROM emp
WHERE flg_process = 'N'
AND ROWNUM <= 5000
ORDER BY empno;
CURSOR dup_all IS --c1 fetch around 400000 records
(select empno
from emp
where empno>l_empno
order by empno
where rownum<=empno_fetch;
CURSOR rules IS --c2
SELECT rule_id, rule_score, name_Of_func
FROM rule;
begin
l_count := 1;
OPEN dedupe_rule_attr;
LOOP
BEGIN
Here one loop is used for fetching 5000 records at time and
Here deu_process cursor is opened ,assume it fetches one record
Here another cursor dup_all is used for fetching the records and assume it fetched 400000 then
Here another cursor is opened name where it fetches 10 rows
Here logic is if first row then
call's stored function which has following functionalty
it compares fields such as address of outer most cursor i.e deu_process with all the address of the other rows i.e 400000 rows and return a number
if second row then
call's another stored function which has
compares other fields such as first name,last name
if third then other field
so on ....
up to 10
and then finally ends
so if i comment all the rules loop then it takes only one min to execute .If it validaes all of them if takes 14 minutes to execute .so there is problem in that 10 procedures to execute
So i found an approach to run all the rules simultaneously using dbms_job .But i face a problem that i can't uderstand how to send the input and out put parameter's to calling procedure.And these parameter's must be passed by variable from called procedure to calling procedure
Please suggest me what is the syntax of dbms_job with input and output parameters with variable's that must be passed as formal parameter's
Regarding DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT I am getting following error
Declare
x number:=1;
b number;
jobnumber number;
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(JOB => jobnumber,
WHAT => 'vamsi_proc1('||x||');',
NEXT_DATE => (sysdate+1/(86400)),
INTERVAL => null);
--dbms_output.put_line('value of b is '||b);
COMMIT;
END;
Declare

create or replace procedure vamsi_proc1(v in out number) as
x number(4);
begin
--a:=1;
insert into emp_vamsi(select 677,ENAME,SAL,DEPTNO,MANAGER from emp where empno=v);
commit;
--a:=2;
--x:=a;
end;
using dbms_job.submit proc that call's functions which returns out and in parameters to calling procedure environment .I can't get this with out using data base table's.
If you have any method for this Plese suggest
And also please suggest me weather using job's is a good idea ,If not than suggest me what ever will the other approach.
Thank's and Regard's

Hi 
I have looked at all sql trace file , 
I found that there is no problem in sql statemens all of them are using proper indexes execpt the folllowing statement 
 
SELECT nvl(COUNT(ref_appln_no),0) 
FROM ci_cust_dedupe_mast 
WHERE flg_mnt_status='A' 
 
This statement executes only once for 1*3,77000*10 times 
The function that i had sent previously executes more than 4000000*20 times . 
I think all it takes is only for iterations that are caused 
 
I am also sending sql trace for reference

Another scheduling question (using DBMS_JOBS)

Let's say I have a procedure do_task(text IN VARCHAR2, retry_count IN PLS_INTEGER)
I want to schedule a job to run this procedure every N minutes, each time decreasing retry_count by one. When the procedure succeeds in its task or is run with retry_count=0, the job should be killed.
So initially I might do:
DECLARE
string VARCHAR2;
job_no NUMBER;
BEGIN
string:= 'do_task(' || text || ', 8);'
DBMS_JOBS.submit(job_no,string,SYSDATE,'SYSDATE+5/(24*60)');
COMMIT;
END;
Does all this seem normal? The other way is to have a database table recording this stuff but I don't want tables if not required. And how can a job know its own id to adjust itself?

Actually I think I can instead use DBA_JOBS.FAILURES to see the number of retries. I think this is incremented each time the job becomes broken? The thing I can't find is how the scheduler decides whether a job has become broken? If my job's execution fails can I prevent the job being broken (so it doesn't stop being repeated), and manually update the FAILURES field?

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.

The error in using dbms_job.submit()?

I login as a normal user, execute a pl/sql block as follows and succeed to create a job.

Who can tell why? Thanks.

DBMS_JOB can only execute complete PL/SQL programs. You can run anonymous blocks, like this:
declare
num_new_job_no number;
begin
sys.dbms_job.submit(job => num_new_job_no,
what => 'begin dbms_output.put_line(''test''); end;',
next_date => sysdate + (1/1000),
interval => 'sysdate+1/24');
commit;
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line(sqlcode||sqlerrm);
end;However, you will never see any output from this job. Jobs run in a recursive session, so there is no client to which DBMS_OUTPUT can write. However, you can see whether it ran by checking in the USER_JOBS view.

Issues with using a assigned package

I have a task where I've been given pre compiled classes to create a program with. However, I'm having issues using them, and I'm not sure what's going on...
Theoretically, the following code should work (to test the class for example):
import question.*;
public class Quiz {
 final private static int NoOfQuestions = 5;
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 // Create the library
 Question question = new QuestionLibrary();
 // For each question:
 for (int i = 0; i < NoOfQuestions; i++) {
 // Show where we are
 System.err.println("Before getQuestion()" + i);
 // Getf the question
 String q[] = question.getQuestion();
 // Show where we are again, and print the first line of the question.
 System.err.println("After getQuestion()" + i + "\n\n" + q[0] + "\n");
 // It worked
 System.err.println("All good - finishing");
}The questionLibrary constructor goes and loads some plain text question files and dishes them out in a random order upon calls to getQuestion().
The javadoc provided shows that getQuestion should return an array of Strings, each line of the question in a different string.
When the code is compiled and run, the call to getQuestion() throws a null pointer exception, however, on different occasions the call will work as expected. Over many runs of the program, all the questions in the files have been printed out at some point (since they are given randomly), so I know it's not the question files having bad formatting, or one question that breaks the program. The question files total 5 questions, but the run of the program has never passed 3 questions before it fails.
I know it's probably hard to know exactly what's going on, but is there anything I've forgotten? Or anything I should check?

Damo The Viking,
I love your nic... though I'm not all sure that there ever were any good ones.
Is this an exercise in testing? If so, Have you considered that maybe this bug was "injected" explicitly too give you a bug to find? If that's the case it's really not very subtle "bug" is it... every random so many times (I'd guess one in four probability) chuck an error. Even Blind Freddy could find that.
If you're not sure what's going on I suggest you decompile the provided class files... I've uploaded my old decompiler (it's shareware, pay up after 30 days use) to [DJ_java_decompiler_377.zip|http://groups.google.com/group/comp_lang_java_exchange/web/DJ_java_decompiler_377.zip] [1.7 MB].
Aside: Please does anyone know of a good "modern" decompiler? Preferably ingrated into Eclipse?... Mine doesn't seem to know about generics, and it's GUI is "a bit poxy".
If this isn't actually an exercise in testing, then impress the beejazus out of your lecturer by extending the provided class, and overriding the method which has the error.
If you want more guidance from me I'm going to need to see an SSCCE; the stack trace of the NPE; and of course the jar containing the question package (join my google group and post it up there).
Cheers. Keith.

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.

DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT ( procedure call with parameter )

Hello,
I am trying to call procedure with input parameter using dbms_job.SUBMIT and it gives me the value of p_email must be declared.
declare
my_job number;
p_email varchar2(50) := 'abc';
my_pro varchar2(100) := 'BEGIN my_pkg.my_proc(' || p_email ||'); END;';
BEGIN
     DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(JOB => MY_JOB,WHAT => my_pro);
END;
if anybody knows how to solve please let me know ASAP.
TIA

SQL> set serveroutput on;
SQL> declare
2    my_job number;
3    p_email varchar2(50) := 'abc';
4    my_pro varchar2(100) := 'BEGIN my_pkg.my_proc(' || p_email ||'); END;'
5 BEGIN
6   dbms_output.put_line(my_pro);
7 END;
8 /
BEGIN my_pkg.my_proc(abc); END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.i think i should also be enclosed in single quote. see this example below.
SQL> declare
2    my_job number;
3    p_email varchar2(50) := 'abc';
4    my_pro varchar2(100) := 'BEGIN my_pkg.my_proc(' ||''''|| p_email||'''' ||'); END;';
5 BEGIN
6   dbms_output.put_line(my_pro);
7 END;
8 /
BEGIN my_pkg.my_proc('abc'); END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

your job would look like:declare
my_job number;
p_email varchar2(50) := 'abc';
my_pro varchar2(100) := 'BEGIN my_pkg.my_proc(' ||''''|| p_email||'''' ||'); END;';
BEGIN
   DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(JOB => MY_JOB,WHAT => my_pro);
END;

Using DBMS_JOB to schedule auto execution of procedure on a daily basis

I need to implement a batch procedure for my project and would be using
DBMS_JOB for the same purpose.I have tried creating a job for the same
that I submitted using DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT() and I ran the job initially using
DBMS_JOB.run(). Now at this instant the next_time parameter to run the proc
is calculated automaticlly. How does the proc run automatically after that
in specified interval of time?? Do I need to access some dba_XX views for the
same.....or set some database parameters??

You will need to set the "interval" portion of the job. Either with dbms_job.submit, or dbms_job.interval.
Lets say you wanted to run the job every morning at 4:30am, it would be:
trunc(sysdate)+1+4/24+30/1440
The "+1" increases it one day.
The "+4/24" increases it 4 hours.
The "+30/1440" increases it 30 minutes.
Hope this helps.

DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT

Hi All,
I am trying to work with DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT and i am unable to move forward since i am not understanding where i am wrong. Please help me with my issue.
I have a package as below
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE Pack.main
AS
PROCEDURE Proc1( V1_P1_in in number, V2_P1_out out number)
PROCEDURE Proc2(V1_P2_In in number, V2_P2_in in Vachar2, V3_P2_out out Number)
PROCEDURE Proc1( V1_P3_in in number, V2_P3_out out number)
Proc2 internally calles another proc called Proc2_Load which calles about 5 other procs lets call Proc2L_1, Proc2L_2, Proc2L_3, Proc2L_4, Proc2L_5
I want to run all these 5 Procs parallely. so i am using DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT.
Normally i call the procs like this
Proc2_1(V1_P2_In , V2_P2_in, row_count); -- row_count is out variable
--- V1_P2_In , V2_P2_in are provided by Proc2_Load which gets from Proc2
I am trying to replace aboved code with below DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT.
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(job=>jobno,
what => '
DECLARE
row_count Number;
BEGIN
Proc2_1('||V1_P2_In ||', '|| V2_P2_in||',row_count);
END; ');
There is something worng with the in and out variables... can you please guide me how i have do this.
Thanks
BN

I would also suggest to use dbms_scheduler. it makes it much simpler to track the success/failure of those jobs.
However your problem is simply that you add a STRING variable the wrong way.
v2_p2_in must be encapsulated into single ' for the package call
like this (untested)
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(job=>jobno,
       what => 'DECLARE '||
    ' row_count Number; '||
    ' BEGIN '||
       ' Proc2_1('||V1_P2_In ||', '''|| V2_P2_in||''',row_count); '||
     'END;');Not sure if the final ; inside the string is needed but you should keep it for the moment.

Dbms_job.submit failed

Hi all,
I'm just wondering why is it that when i submit a job using dbms_job.submit, it always fails.. But when I try dbms_job.run or execute the procedure itself, the procedure was executed successfully and I was able to get the output that i want.
Here's my code snippet:
declare
x_job number;
begin
sys.dbms_job.submit(x_job, 'begin cl_msg2.cl_msg_call; end;', sysdate,NULL);
commit;
end;
I tried to check the alert_log.txt and it shows this error:
Errors in file /u1/oracle/admin/ABC4/bdump/snp3_1854.trc:
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 694
ORA-20001:
ORA-06512: at "ABCDEV.SYSTOR", line 81
ORA-06512: at "ABCDEV.CL_MSG2", line 512
ORA-06512: at "ABCDEV.CL_MSG2", line 21
ORA-06512: at line 1
When i check for the source of the error, I found out that the sqlcode it returns is 100.. which means no_data_found. It's doing an update on a table. (I've tried running the )
It's kinda weird because when I checked the record on the table, it DOES exists.. And as I've mentioned earlier, there's no problem when i use dbms_job.run to run the procedure.
I really don't have an idea as to what have caused the failure on the job.
Thanks and regards,
Anna

Hi,
Thanks for the immediate reply. Sorry, but I have a very little knowledge when it comes to database issues.. And this is my first time to use dbms_job utility. Here is the code snippet of where the error occurs:
BEGIN
UPDATE CL_DRAWDOWN SET msg_cnf = 'Y'
WHERE dd_key = cmsg.dd_key
AND loan_no = cmsg.loan_no
AND dd_no = cmsg.dd_no;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
Systor.insert_error_msg (SQLCODE, 'CL_MSG2', 'MSG_PAY', 'O', '10 '|| TO_CHAR(cmsg.dd_key));
END;
As you can see on the above snippet, SYSTOR package is being used to handle exception and for monitoring/recording of errors. It actually inserts the error encountered on a table and raise an application error with code -20001.
Im not really sure I understand this part
'Ordinary session and job session have different environment. Your code can (recursively) query v$session in unappropriate way.'. Could you please elaborate?
Thanks a lot for your help!
