Scheduling of Archive jobs

Question

Hi,
i really need to apologize here, but i did not found an appropriate forum to ask this, neither a forum for ADK archiving development kit nor a forum about XBP (intercepted jobs). If there is a froum for asking questions like this you can slap me for that
The archiving object is configured to schedule the ARVSTO jobs automatically which we want to keep to spread the load over a certain time and not to have a bunch of archiving jobs always running at a specific time.
In this system we do not have a connection to a central job scheduling tool due to license costs.
The problem is that sometimes ARVSTO jobs are scheduled exactly at the time where our IXOS serving is going down for 15 minutes for maintanence.
I'm now looking for ANY possibility to avoid that ARVSTO jobs are scheduled between 4 and 5 o'clock. I hat a look at OSS notes 458670 and 604496, with those notes i can avoid that the jobs are starting automatically but i need an external job scheduler or i need to start them manually. I dont have a job scheduler and i dont want to do this manually.
I had a look at report RSARCHD to do a modifaction but as far as i can see this one is only scheduling the ARVDEL jobs.
So does anyone have an idea to solve this? Even if it is a modification, or en enhancement, a BADI or en exit, i dont care.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Create one procedure and write all your logic which you want to schedure.
Please execute the below block to set the job.
Please change ### with Your PROCEDURE NAME WITH PARAMETER.
'SYSDATE+1/1440' = Indicate that your job execute every minute..
DECLARE
X NUMBER;
BEGIN
SYS.DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT
( job => X
,what => '###'
,next_date => to_date('17/02/2010 12:54:32','dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
,interval => 'SYSDATE+1/1440 '
,no_parse => TRUE
SYS.DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Job Number is: ' || to_char(x));
END;
commit;
