Submit job in Apex

Hi ,
How do we submit a job in apex .Iam using dbms_scheduler in apex ...Its not working ..can anyone help me out plzzzz..

Hi Elsa
I am also having similar problems calling the APEX_PLSQL_JOB.SUBMIT_PROCESS as well where it doesn't insert into the APEX_PLSQL_JOBS table.
I also noticed that you used SCHEDULER. One of the challenges we are having is when the user presses the submit button, the browser hangs and doesn't return the result set until the process is complete. This process can take 20 mins before the screen loads saying the process was finished. I have tried used DBMS_JOB as we aren't on 10g and can not use SCHEDULER, but still having that issue where the user has to wait 20 mins before the process finishes.
Did you ever solve that problem where the user clicks the button and then a page is returned immediately while the job is firing away with scheduler
Any help would be great and much appreciated.
Thanks

Submit background job in APEX -- count on all_jobs return shadow jobs.

Hi, I am trying to submit a job in APEX. The setups are as below:
On Submit - After Computation and Validations
Run Process: Once Per Page Visit
Process:
DECLARE
v_instance_cnt NUMBER;
job_no NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(0)
INTO v_instance_cnt
FROM user_jobs
WHERE what LIKE 'pagl_refresh.master_refresh%';
IF NVL(v_instance_cnt,0) = 0 THEN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(job_no, 'pagl_refresh.master_refresh('''||:G_BSYS_USER_NAME||''');');
:P3_MESSAGE:= 'Job has submitted. Number is '||TO_CHAR(job_no);
ELSE
:P3_MESSAGE :='The refresh is in progress. Please wait ... ('||to_char(v_instance_cnt);
END IF;
END;
Now, if I run the process, the :P3_MESSAGE message returns "'The refresh is in progress. Please wait ... (5)." . This is due to the count is 5 instead of expected 0.
If I SELECT count(*) FROM dba_jobs WHERE lower(what) LIKE 'pagl_refresh.master_refresh%'; in SQLPLUS, it returns 0. Same result from all_jobs as well.
My suspect is that it returns job counts include those that has been removed before. Yet, how APEX can see this? Does APEX use some special way to look into Job queue?
Please help
Thanks

From the looks of it, the job is being submitted and run - although I would check the elapsed time to see if it's anywhere close to the 20-30 minutes you anticipate. Assuming not, I would suggest that the problem is in one of the following areas:
1. The way in which you are passing in the arguments is not conforming to the expected input format or values and it's therefore not executing as expected.
2. Your process implictly relies on the state of your apex application in some manner, which is not being reproduced within the procedure when the job is submitted.
In the former case, I would check the procedure's specification against the page items types being passed in - you might have to explicitly convert some of your arguments into the appropriate type
In the latter case, well... bearing in mind that we don't know what your procedure looks like and it's therefore kind of difficult to diagnose the problem, you'll possibly need to pass your session information into the procedure as additional parameters and re-create your session from within the code.

Submit job to begin at 0230 hrs and run daily

Hi,
Oracle version - 10.2.0.4
Env- Windows 32 bit 2003 server R2
I scheduled a job with the below command to run on daily basis by exactly 02:30 am but the job is not running as per scheduled, it's running 30 minutes before the schedule.
Command used to schedule the job.
DECLARE
X NUMBER;
BEGIN
SYS.DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT
( job => X
,what => 'TESTJOB(20,20302);'
,next_date => to_date('10/08/2011 02:30:00','dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
,interval => 'TRUNC(SYSDATE+1)+2/24'
,no_parse => FALSE
SYS.DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Job Name is TEST JOB ' || to_char(x));
COMMIT;
END;
I came to know this when i queried the dba_jobs view last_date column,
JOB WHAT NEXT_DATE LAST_DATE
123 TESTJOB(20,20302) 08/17/2011 *02:00:00* 08/16/2011 *02:00:03*
Can you pls let me know where i am wrong !!

How to schedule a job from Apex?

Hi all.
I want to know the best way to schedule a job using Apex:
- DBMS_JOB?
- DBMS_SCHEDULER?
- Build a wrapper?.
- Any other thing i am not aware of?-
Could an example be to much to ask?
Regards, Luis ...!

Hi Luis,
Apex already provides you an built-in wrapper to dbms_scheduler, so you don't have to do.
You should use this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_plsql_job.htm#AEAPI1203

How to schedule a job in APEX

are there another alternative other than using the DBMS_JOB and DBMS_SCHEDULER to run a schedule job in APEX that calls a certain procedure? thanks.

Here's the documentation for APEX_PLSQL_JOB:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31036_01/doc/appdev.22/b28550/advnc.htm#BABGHIFB
The documentation says that you can create a page process to call a background PL/SQL job.
But, it looks like that wizard page disappeared around version 2.0.
It's still missing in 3.0.
Here's a discussion about that:

Problem while scheduling job in apex

Hi All ,
I have problem while creating job in apex .Let me explain my problem clearly.I have created a page in
url: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/
Workspace : PREETHI_WORKSPACE
User ID : [email protected]
Password : bowova1
Application :Parse and upload csv file -21007
Page No:1
Page Name :Parse csv file.
Main functionality of this page is to upload csv file into oracle table .First user will browse a file from local machine and upload it in upload region.After that,user enters a table name and clicks create table button which creates a table in DB and also shows the report for the same .Creating table is happening through "create table " process when user clicks "create table" button.Code is working fine .One more things here is, in csv file the second row should have data type mentioned .
My requirement is ,i have to schedule "htmldb_tools.parse_file" in create table process as a job .In this "create table process" we are calling htmldb_tools.parse_file(:P1_FILENAME,'P1_COLLECTION','P1_HEADINGS','P1_COLUMNS','P1_DDL',:P1_TABLENAME);
Problem Iam facing here is that the scope of item :p1_filename is getting lost when we pass it to procedure .I think problem is due to different apex and database session .
Tried a lot through various ways ..Not finding the solution.
Please help...

Hi Marco,
I have tried with the setting what u have mentioned in htmldb_tools.parse_file procedure: wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(<workspace_id>);

Why do you need to get "reminder mail" from apex.oracle.com? What are you doing there that requires this? As stated on the login page:
This service is for demonstration purposes only. Use of this system to store sensitive data is prohibited. For production applications you can download and install Application Express on-premise or sign up for the Oracle Database Cloud Service.
and the Support Information page:

for this I need below any of the table required but none of them is not available in the schema which a
pex allocated.
Works for me.
select * from user_scheduler_job_run_details
select * from user_scheduler_jobs
You have to create/execute a job (as shown in the linked thread) before those views will show anything.
select * from dba_jobs
select * from DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS

select * from DBA_SCHEDULER_JOB_CLASSES

Scheduling a Mail Sending Job with APEX

Hi
I would like to know if it is possible to schedule an e-mail sending job with APEX(for purposes like birthday reminders etc). Currently, I am able to send e-mail from APEX by creating a process which is triggered by a button. I am using the apex_mail.send procedure to send e-mail. This is working fine, but I would ideally want the email sending process to be scheduled to run independent of a manual trigger, i.e. the system date should be the trigger, and it should repeat after a specified interval. (The method should be such that emails are sent out even when the APEX application is not running,i.e. the process should take the data directly from the database.)
Thanks,
Kamal

Hi Kamal,
I'm new to this apex tool...I doesnt know how to configure email.....Has i have seen in ur message that you could able to send email from apex but u asked about scheduling in email, a kind of deep concept to some one....I'm not thing of the scheduling right now...Can you please guide me in step wise manner of how to configure email...Since i doesnt know this basic thing of configuring email with the APEX...
From ur message im sure that ill be getting answer.....Any way thanks in advance for ur help.....

It gave : ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement

First of all I don't see a procedure header.
Secondly I see you commit inside your procedure. This is a bug.
Thirdly I see you also commit inside a loop. This is also a bug, and needs to be removed asap.
The error indicates a statement doesn't parse. As you don't post the error stack, nor a table definition no one can reproduce the problem.
You need to isolate the statements, one by one, and run them through sql*plus to see what happens.

Submit Button in APEX 3.2.1 SQL Query (updateable report)

Hi all,
I am fairly new to APEX. I have an updateable report and have created a button for every row as follows:
<input type="button" value="Task Complete" onclick="doSubmit('#REF_STEP_ID#');" />
I have a PL/SQL anonymous block process that calls an oracle procedure On Submit - After Computations and Validations:
BEGIN
tta_pkg.p_task_complete(:REQUEST);
END;
The button works and calls the Oracle procedure. My problem is that the process will try to run anytime the page gets submitted due to any other process in the page. The error I am getting when another process submits the page is as follows.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error. ( If I disable the process, the page works and all other processes are submitted successfully).
Does anyone have any ideas? They will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Sylvia

Sylvia,
Have you tried adding a condition to the process? I'm not sure what options were available in APEX 3.x (which is really old; the current version is 4.2.4), but in the current versions of APEX there's a specific "When button pressed" field that allows you to specify that the process only fires when a specific button is clicked.

Submit job in background

Hi All
I have a program with selection screen. The selection screen has Job name as one of the parameters. When I press F8 (Execute), this program should get scheduled in the background with the job name taken from selection screen. How to submit a program by itself in background.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Shakir

Hi,
Press F9 from the program itself after entering the selection parameters
Or
Create a selection variant and go to SM36 and give some valid name , program name with variant and save and schedule.
