Trouble removing disabled jobs from oracle scheduler.

Question

Hi,
When I run the query :-
select job_name,job_subname,program_name,enabled,auto_drop,state
from all_SCHEDULER_JOBS
where enabled = 'FALSE'
and state = 'RUNNING'
I get the following results :-
job_name     job_subname     program_name     enabled     auto_drop     state
DAILY_LOAD     STEP30     EQUIP_STATUS_EXECUTE_SCRIPT     FALSE     TRUE     RUNNING
WEEKLY_CHAIN_IMMEDIATE_JOB     STEP30_1     MONITOR_EXECUTE_SCRIPT     FALSE     TRUE     RUNNING
There are no entries on the 'ALL_SCHEDULER_RUNNING_CHAINS' table for these jobs.
How can I remove these jobs that are not disabled but have a state of 'running'.

Hi DomBrooks,
When I try :-
begin
dbms_scheduler.stop_job(
'WEEKLY_CHAIN_IMMEDIATE_JOB',
TRUE
end;
I get :-
ORA-27475: "XXXXX.WEEKLY_CHAIN_IMMEDIATE_JOB" must be a job
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_ISCHED", line 164
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 483
ORA-06512: at line 2
I get the same when I try :-
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DROP_JOB (
job_name => 'WEEKLY_CHAIN_IMMEDIATE_JOB');
END;
When I try :-
select job, log_user, what from user_jobs;
I get no rows returned.
From what I can tell it seems the oracle scheduler does not think the job exist even though it shows up as 'disabled' in the all_scheduler_jobs query.
I am wondering if a db recycle might fix the problem or if you have any other ideas?
I really appreciate your help.
