Scheduling Dependent Jobs

Hi,
I am trying to schedule 2 jobs that are not logically linked, but their execution is dependent.
ex: Job A: Gather the DB Stats
Job B: Run the DB Export
Due to some technical reasons, I want Job B to run during its allocated schedule ONLY IF Job A ran, and completed successfully before it was Job B time slot.
So my questions:
1- Is there a way to do this in Enterprise manager?
2- Is there a way to do this in the script, other than calling job B specifically from job A, nor enabling / disabling nor altering the Job in any way..
Thanks

Thanks Lakmal.. So I am using Oracle 11g, and I had a look at the link you provided. Quite informative and useful.
So I have the below assumptions, please correct me if I am wrong:
1- So this is basically like a subroutine of jobs,whereby they run according to the chain.
2- and each job runs when the previous is completed.
3- So if one of the jobs in the chain fails, the whole chain fails, and no retries are executed on the chain level
Right?
Thanks

How to schedule dependent job in oracle

I would like to schedule a job which should be dependent on the completion of previous job. How is it achieved in oracle 10g

refer to this examples about DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_CHAIN to form job dependency.

Scheduling dependant jobs

Hi,
We have a requirement where a job should be executed in 1 system, only if another job succeeds in another system.
Both the systems are connected to each other.
Can this be done by triggering events..using BP_EVENT_RAISE??
Or if there is some other way, please let me know.
Thanks,
Saba.

Yes, you can use 'BP_EVENT_RAISE' to raise an event which will then trigger your background job in the system.
However since this FM only triggers that event in the system it is called you would have to encapsulate it in an RFC.
Create RFC in System1 that calls BP_EVENT_RAISE.
In System2 you have your job which is the precondition for the the job in System1.
Add an additional step to the job in System2 and call a report which calls the RFC in System1.
This will do the followoing:
System2 - Jobx - Step1 (your precondition report)
System2 - Jobx - Step2 (report calling RFC in System1)
System1 - RFC - raises event
System1 - Joby - starts because Jobx in System2 is done
Hope that helps,
Michael

Dependent jobs in PI

Hi All,
I have a jdbc -> file interface that selects some records and writes them to a csv file.
I need to send out a http trigger to the target system right after the file is written. This is to avoid the target system polling for the file.
Is there a way to schedule dependent jobs in PI?
Thanks,
Harsh
PS: We recently moved to PI 7.1

Hi Volker,
Thanks for the prompt response.
BPM is not an advisable option as the load is high. Regarding the proxy approach, if I understood you correctly, I think you are suggesting that I add an addtional receiver in my receiver determination.
Our concern with that approach is that, we'd like to send out the trigger only after we have confirmation that the file has been successfully written out. An additional receiver(proxy or otherwise) would send the trigger even if the file channel errors out for some reason.
Thanks,
Harsh

Schedule Background Jobs

Hi
Gurus
What is Schedule Background Jobs and whatu2019s the use of Schedule Background Jobs
How it will worku2019s
Please give me detail Information about Schedule Background Jobs
Many Thanks
Mahi

Hello Mahi,
The BackGround job - "Program" thats runs in SAP Server and not depend any user interface.
like Antivirus program on your local station that runs (scaning your computer all the time) without any user interface (becide tray Icon) and unless you going to Running Proccess on your computer you don't know that it working.
Schedule BackGround Job its any backGround Job that you schedule to run any time you want and you can make it run recursivly.
you can go to Transaction SM36 to schedule your Programs.

How to schedule a job which needs to run evry day 1(AM) o clk?

begin
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
job_name=> 'BJAZPROPMAINTAIN',
job_type=> 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action=> schemaname.schedule_procedure;',
start_date=> '02-aug-08 01:00:00 PM',
repeat_interval=> 'FREQ=DAILY; BYHOUR=01',
enabled =>TRUE,
auto_drop=>FALSE);
end;
Hi all,
i want to schedule a job which needs to be run every day one o clock early morning i haven't set the job_scheduler before this. by searching thru net and prev scheduler coding i have written the above code here for running evry day early morning 1 o clock i m little bit of confused in the time
repeat_interval=>'FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=01'; whether is is correct one or wrong?
and also there are some other job is scheduled in the same time . will it create any problem of executing at the sametime or we need to change the timing of 1:15 like that?
please advise me..

Thanks a lot so it will be executing every night 1 o clock am i right?
It should.But I shall say that schedule it and than only we can be sure about it.About the timing part, its correct syntatically.
i saw that job_priority column in dba_scheduler_jobs table but dont know what it does?
and also how can fetch this job scheduler sid,serial# i checked v$session but how to correlate this ..
please explain me
In schedulerjobs,there is a column ,client_id.You can map it to the sid from the V$session.I don't have a box running Oracle at the moment so I wont be test it for you.Do it and post feedback.
what will happen if more than one job is scheduled in the sametime
i think for this only we set the priority on the two which one needs to be first exec(depends on the high priority)
let me know about this.
Jobs are prioritized by two parts,within the class they are a part of and individualy.If you have two jobs in the same class than they can be make run with a different priority with the priority clause set within them.This has a number which start from 1 meaning highest priority.So if there are two jobs scheduled for the same time,you need to check which job class they fall into. If they are in the same class than you have to change the priority of them.
I suggest you read the books,they cover all these topics in much more detail.
Also there is a dedicated forum about Scheduler.In future for Scheduler regarded questions, you can visit there.

Scheduling a job in SAP R/3 !

Dear All
For one of the requirements we need to increase the DELTA job frequency on the R/3 side. We will schedule a job for this with the report 'RMBWV317' in the background.
We are fetching data from the three different clients on the same R/3 system. Can you please confirm if the data for all three systems will be filled in the delta queue by the same job?
I have the confusion because setup tables have to be filled seperately for each client.
Thanks & Regards
Shreyas

Hi,
No, since you have three different client system therefore you will have to create three separate jobs in these three clients.
Jobs are system dependent if updating a table.
Scheduling one will not trigger the other client since its related to updating a structure and structures and tables are client dependent.
Schedule the jobs in the all the three system separately and check the delta queue in all the three clients after that.
Thats why you have to fill the set up tables separately as well.
Thanks

Scheduling Background job without any authorization

Hi All,
Here is my requirement.End user will save a material and at the time of SAVE , background job has to be scheduled to run a process.
End user will not have any authorization to schedule the job in background. Is there any way to bypass the AUTHORITY-CHECK of the program. Client will not provide authorization for the end user to schedule job in background.
I thought of giving a user name in the program like below, the user "BATCHUSER" has all the authorization to schedule a job in background. But program fails to by pass the AUTHORITY-CHECK , is there any other way to by pass AUTHORITY-CHECK .
Here is my code.
JOB_OPEN.
SUBMIT 'XXX' USER 'BATCHUSER' VIA JOB v_name NUMBER v_number AND RETURN.
JOB_CLOSE.
Please help me ....
Regards,
Ashok

Hi,
workflow could be an option. Either transfering the logic into the workflow at all or you can just plan the job in a background step of the workflow. As WF-Batch is runnung with SAP_ALL authorization shouldn't be an issue.
Depending on what application you are in, there could already be a wf-event on save so development effort could be quite low.

Scheduler dependency checking

While I see that one can assign Resource Groups to Job Classes for jobs running concurrently, is there a way to assure that one job task will not start up unless dependent jobs have finished?
What I want if for job_B to start only after job_A has finished. I do not want job_A to have to call job_B. I want there to be a tightness so that job_B will follow job_A either immediately or in a reasonable amount of time, but job_B will not fire if job_A is still running.
I can schedule job_A to run at the top of the hour. I can schedule job_B to run at 15 after the hour every 6th hour. I want to make sure however, that job_B will wait until job_A finishes in the event job_A takes longer than 14 minutes.
Does this functionality exist, or do I have to put a flag in some extra 'jobs_running' table for job_B to check, and then have it trigger job_B if it has checked, but could not run. It would be really nice if this were already built into the underlying DBA_ tables for Scheduler.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Scott Rappoport

Hi,
I have a similar question: Is there a possibility to lock a certain job in DBMS_SCHEDULER?
For example: I want to run a certain job every 10 minutes, but if after 10 minutes that job is still running, I don't want that the same job will run again, but that that job waits until the first job finishes its job.
I can do this using DBMS_LOCK by giving my job a lock that he releases when the job finishes. But isn't there a way that I can specify this directly in DBMS_SCHEDULER?

Schedule Agent Job as per calendar

Hi All,
I have a requiremnt which needs to be automated using Sql Server Agent Job..I am not sure how it can be done.. I have a calendar table which consists 5yrs of dates column.. I need to schedule a job depending on those dates..
How can i achieve this using Sql Server Agent Job. I know we can write a step but how to do it is my question. Let me know if i am not clear in asking my questions..
Thanks Folks
Thanks, Anji

Hi Anji
According to steps you have described(idea is to fail STEP1 for date which are not present in Job_Schedule table)
Step1 : Create a STEP1 with TSQL code as below
IF NOT EXISTS(select Rundate from Job_Schedule where RunDate = convert(varchar(10),GETDATE(),121) and Isprocessed=0)
RAISERROR('Job date is not Job_Schedule table',16,1)
and make sure "On Failure" is set to "Quit the job reporting success" for STEP1
STEP2 : you can configure your ETL package
STEP 3 : you can update the Job_Schedule using below query
IF EXISTS(select Rundate from Job_Schedule where RunDate = convert(varchar(10),GETDATE(),121) and Isprocessed=0)
UPDATE Job_Schedule SET Isprocessed = 1 where RunDate = convert(varchar(10),GETDATE(),121) Isprocessed=0
you could also include this step in your ETL package too, in that way you can take different path when current date is not present in Job_Schedule
I actually suggest this method like for a store procedure configured in SQL JOB, it is much simple when compare to ETL JOB
IF EXISTS(select Rundate from Job_Schedule where RunDate = convert(varchar(10),GETDATE(),121) and Isprocessed=0)
EXEC SP1
please try to include STEP1 in you ETL package if it is feasible

Schedule Background Job : Remove delivery Block in Sales order

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement to select all sales orders as per a condition and remove delivery block at
VA02-> Go to -> Header -> Status
For that I have to write a program which will be run only in background and i have to schedule background job for the same.
I have a parameter at selection - No of records
If no of records = 500 , I have to submit 500 jobs ie one job each for each sales order for removing delivery block.
I need to know
1) Which function module/bapi I can use to remove delivery block at sales order header level.
For blocked delivery the status is 'BSTK" . to remove block i need to change status to "RSTK".
2) How to schedule a background job for my program and how to submit one job each for each sales order.
Regards
Avi.

Hi Avi,
Would like to seek for your advice. I am facing the same scenario too which is to delete the delivery block but is deletion of the delivery block is done in the user exit MV45AFZZ. The subroutine which needs to have the extra logic of deleting the delivery block is USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE.
Need your advice on how do you solve this scenario? Thanks in advance.

Error in Schedule Background Job for Deadline Monitoring of swu3

Please advice what could be cause of it

the earlier problem of background job was solved by changing the output device assigned to user wf-batch .
regarding the transport request :
when i was trying to execute the step : "Schedule bakgrd for missed deadlines " MANUEL it was giving me an option of SAVE AND SCHEDULE . which was creating the transport request . but when i executed it automatically it worked fine without asking a request to me ... i don't know why )-: ... probablly we can specify a different interval then the standard of three minutes and which will be transported (it's just a guess) . i have executed it automatically ...
well thanks all for u r help

Did you read DBMS_SCHEDULER docs:
The calendaring syntax does not allow you to specify a time zone. Instead the Scheduler retrieves the time zone from the start_date argument. If jobs must follow daylight savings adjustments you must make sure that you specify a region name for the time zone of the start_date. For example specifying the start_date time zone as 'US/Eastern' in New York will make sure that daylight saving adjustments are automatically applied. If instead the time zone of the start_date is set to an absolute offset, such as '-5:00', daylight savings adjustments are not followed and your job execution will be off by an hour half of the year.
When start_date is NULL, the Scheduler will determine the time zone for the repeat interval as follows:
It will check whether the session time zone is a region name. The session time zone can be set by either:
Issuing an ALTER SESSION statement, for example:
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET time_zone = 'Asia/Shanghai';
Setting the ORA_SDTZ environment variable.
If the session time zone is an absolute offset instead of a region name, the Scheduler will use the value of the DEFAULT_TIMEZONE Scheduler attribute. For more information, see the SET_SCHEDULER_ATTRIBUTE Procedure.
If the DEFAULT_TIMEZONE attribute is NULL, the Scheduler will use the time zone of systimestamp when the job or window is enabled.

Creating a job and scheduling a job error in OEM

Hi, Everyone,
I am trying to create and schedule a job thru OEM. In the the pl/sql block provide i have given my code like this
begin
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
SPOOL C:\RFV_PROFILE_REPORT.LOG APPEND;
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD/MM/YY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL;
EXEC PAC_RFV_PROFILE_REPORT.CALL_ALL (200910);
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD/MM/YY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL;
SPOOL OFF;
end;
i have created the job and scheduled it but i am getting this error:
Error # 6550
Details ORA-06550: line 2, column 5: PL/SQL: ORA-00922: missing or invalid option ORA-06550: line 2, column 1: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored ORA-06550: line 3, column 7: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "C" when expecting one of the following: := . ( @ % ;
could anyone pls help as this is very urgent.
Thanks in advance

Ah, the problem is you are confusing SQLPlus commands with PL/SQL.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON; -- This is a SQLPlus command, not necessary here.
SPOOL C:\RFV_PROFILE_REPORT.LOG APPEND; -- This is a SQLPlus command, in PL/SQL to write out to a file you will need to call the UTL_FILE package to open a file for writing to. Except that the file you write to will appear on the database server, not your workstation, when the scheduled job runs.
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD/MM/YY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL; -- In PL/SQL you need to SELECT columns INTO variables FROM tables. But in fact I guess you want to write the time to file using UTL_FILE again. However, you don't really need to do this, since scheduler will log the start time and run duration itself.
EXEC PAC_RFV_PROFILE_REPORT.CALL_ALL (200910); -- This is the SQLPlus equivalent of the PL/SQL command:
BEGIN
PAC_RFV_PROFILE_REPORT.CALL_ALL (200910);
END;
SPOOL OFF; -- This is a SQLPlus command, not necessary here.
So to summarise, all you really need is:
BEGIN
PAC_RFV_PROFILE_REPORT.CALL_ALL (200910);
END;
And the scheduled job will log the start time and duration in the database, which you can find here:
SELECT * FROM USER_SCHEDULER_JOB_RUN_DETAILS
