Scheduling Manager hangs...

Question

Hello,
We are using Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.45.46c) and migrated from an earlier version (4i) spring of 2006.
- I am trying to schedule a workbook with multiple sheets created with the new version.
- The workbook executes in about 4 minutes, when I manually execute the 5 worksheets back to back
- But when I schedule it, it hangs in the Scheduling manager but when I check directly on the Database using the following command I notice that the job is done :
SELECT job,sid FROM dba_jobs_running; (no rows are returned)
After I execute that SELECT, the Scheduling Manager is automatically updated and the status the job becomes ‘Complete’. I can then open the Scheduled Workbook normally.
It is as if the Scheduling manager does not know when the execution is complete and the SELECT I do triggers the status to be updated.
Everything works fine when I schedule a workbook with single or multiple worksheets created with the earlier version. It also works fine when I schedule a single worksheet out of a multiple worksheet Workbook created with the later version of Discoverer!!!!
Can anyone mane any sense of what is happening ?
Thank You !
Marie

Hi Marie
What database privileges do you have? This is the first place I would look. These are the ones you need:
connect
resource
analyze any
create procedure
create sequence
create session
create table
create view
execute any procedure
global query rewrite
select any table
unlimited tablespace
execute on sys.dbms_job
select on sys.v_$parameter
I hope this helps
Best wishes
