Waiting for a Job to Complete

Hi,
How would people suggest waiting for a background process (a job submitted using APEX_PLSQL_JOB) to complete.
I'm thinking of having an On Demand that can query the job status and then calling this from a piece of JavaScript which polls periodically (e.g. every 30 seconds using the setTimeout function).
Does anyone have any pointers to something more elegant?
Many thanks,
Gareth.

Hi
Interesting one this, check out this link [http://www.oraclequirks.com/]

Waiting for scheduling job to complete. Job ID...and it never completes

I have created my first Publication. It's a pretty basic single source document, single Dynamic Recipients list publication.
When I run it in Test mode (I haven't tried it in non-Test mode yet), the document(s) are never delivered.
When I view the Log File, everything looks fine. The second and last entry in the log says
"- The global delivery rule for this publication was met; publication processing will now begin."
The Status Message I see in the Publication History is:
"Waiting for scheduling job to complete. Job ID:3,879, name:Unviewed Invoices Report (Copy), kind:CrystalReport in Pending state (FBE 60509) [0 recipients processed.] " and it never changes. I've tried this several times, creating new publications with the same source documents, and the same thing always happens.
Any help would be appreciated.

All of the servers were configured correctly.
It turned out to be my source document, a report, had some field in it that BOE didn't like.
I removed a bunch of fields and added them back, one by one, and couldn't make the error occur again.
Go figure.

SHUTDOWN: waiting for active calls to complete.

Hello,
environment is HPUX 11.23, Oracle Version is 9.2.0.5
We had an ORA-600 error yesterday. We reported that error to the support and were suggested to install patch 9.2.0.8.
However i have one question. As you can see from the output in the alert-logfile it took a very long time to shutdown the instance using the immediate option:
Sun Nov 9 17:33:58 2008
Shutting down instance: further logons disabled
Shutting down instance (immediate)
License high water mark = 454
Sun Nov 9 17:39:07 2008
Active call for process 3991 user 'oracle' program 'oracle@xyz (TNS V1-V3)'
SHUTDOWN: waiting for active calls to complete.
Sun Nov 9 17:50:36 2008
ALTER DATABASE CLOSE NORMAL
Is there anything one can do in such a situation to speed up the shutdown of the instance ?

Rajabaskar Thangaraj,
Oracle database has a job facility and a streams/advanced queuing facility.
These facilities are possible by setting up a few ancillary processes.
Those parameters govern the number of processes.
Setting them to 0 will disable the facility completely.
As you alter the parameter in memory, as you as you have bounced the database, it will be back to the value in the spfile and the facilities will work again.
Disabling them is especially useful when you the facilities are frequently used, ie you have a job running every 30 seconds.
In the past, on several databases, this was the only way to allow a shutdown immediate.
Hope this helps,

I tried to import 2 photos from an email. The photos are now on iPhoto, however, when I try to close iPhoto or turn off my computer, I get a notice that says, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."

I tried to import 2 photos from an email to iphoto. The photos now appear in iphoto as the latest imports, However, when I try to close iphoto or log off of my computer, I get a message box that says, " Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."
I can't get out of iphoto or log off of my computer, or turn the computer off. How do I stop the import or log out of iphoto???

Javascript: Wait for a redirect to complete - creating multiple PDF's

Hi!
Here is the code that I am using to try to generate multiple reports from javascript. how do I wait for the redirect to complete (ie. generate the PDF) before redirecting to generate the next PDF?
In the code the "F106_" are application level items.
I get have been able to get the very first or the very last PDF but none of the other PDF's.
<script type="text/javascript">
function f_DoReport() {
for (i = 2; i <= 3; i++)
     for (j = 1; j <= 4; j++)
         var rgn = '0' + i;
         var dst = '0' + j;
         var vurl = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:30:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R27022113101536736_en-us:&DEBUG.::';
         vurl += 'F106_RPT_REGION,F106_RPT_DISTRICT:' + rgn + ',' + dst;
         redirect(vurl);
         alert('rgn: ' + rgn + ' dst: ' + dst);
</script>Please let me know if I am going down the wrong path here. :D
As always thanks for your time and help!

A few questions…
Do you want a script that works with just the active document and you are going to run 300+ times? If so then this may do…

Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an Ole actio

When I access Data Manager, I get the error message: "Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an Ole action." When I click OK, I get another error: "Cannot download the dimension list from server. Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached." It never used to happen until recently. I don't know what to tell the IT guys to do. Thanks.

This is a known error in V5. I have had this error at almost every V5 customer.
The following solution (got it from support) solves it permanently.
Changes have to be made to the outlooksoft.config file and the connectionstrings in tblappsetinfo. Be sure to restart the server(s) after applying these changes.
1. In outlooksoft.config file of x:\OutlookSoft\Websrvr\bin folder on the web server change the following line:
<add key="Database_AppServerDBConn" value="Server=<servername>;Database=AppServer;Trusted_Connection=True;"/>
to
<add key="Database_AppServerDBConn" value="Server=<servername>;Database=AppServer;Trusted_Connection=True;pooling=false"/>
Please note that where I have <servername> you should put the name of your server ****
Also, add the pooling=false; to every connection string in tblappsetinfo.
I am sure this helps,
Regards,
Alwin Berkhout

Installer keeps waiting for other installations to complete my downloads. is this normal?

I downloaded a microsoft remote desktop application and tried to download my office mac and the installer keeps saying waiting for other installations to complete. So i thought i needed a restart and the installer won't shut down either. is this normal?

Immediate problem solved. After force quitting the Software Update app., iPhoto 9.2 appears to have been successfully installed and functional. Unable to say if future S/W updates will encounter any problems. Thanks for all consideration. Item closed.

Does WPF waits for GPU present to complete?

I'm testing how frequently WPF display can change when I have one window per monitor. My frame rate isn't amazing, and using xperf and GPUView it looks like WPF prepares both windows and then calls "Present packet" on both at the same time, and
waits for both to complete before moving on to send the next frames to the video card. I think my frame rate could have been faster if WPF didn't wait for the present to complete on both displays. When I run two WPF processes, each with one window on
one monitor, the present packets are independent, so parallel processing is more efficient and the frame rate is higher.
Did anyone observe the same behavior? Is there a flag I can set to make the WPF windows of one process more independent?

Hello Shir Oren,
I'm confused about those monitors, do you mean you have a computer with a few monitors?
Then "When I run two WPF processes" can you briefly introduce it here? Different applications on different monitor? Do you actually mean thread but not process here?
Actually WPF can take advantage of both Hardware and Software Rendering Pipeline, for details please refer to MSDN article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb613578(v=vs.110).aspx
I'm not sure whether there is a flag you metioned but I haven't found it at this time. So I recommend you focus on the exist WPF render tiers from here
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742196(v=vs.110).aspx to consider raise your performance.

FM JOB_CLOSE doesn't wait for pred job even when pred_jobname/jobcount set

Dear experts,
I need to call in sequential order two batch jobs when there is a special condition. It's not always the case, which means when there is no successor task, then the job should be executed immediately. But when there is another waiting in the queue, then
I set the parameters pred_jobcount/pred_jobname so that the next job is executed when the previous is finished.
I tried with the combination of several parameters, read lots of help and checked example programs, but the problem I've got: either both jobs are launched at the same time (so it does';t really wait for the predecessor to be completed sucessfully even if predjob_checkstat is set to X), or the second job is never launched at all! Here is the call of JOB_CLOSE:
AS_PRED contains the correct information of the predecessor job (I verified against SM37 and no problem there). For the first job to be launched, I have no issue at all. However the successor is not launched at all!
(Just to play around and to test some other parameter combination, I called the FM with strtimmed always set to X but then both jobs are launched at the same time, which is not convenient for me!).
IF as_pred IS INITIAL.
    lv_strt_immed = 'X'.
ELSE.
    lv_strt_immed = space..
    lv_checkstat = 'X'.
ENDIF.

How to get OIM workflow waiting for a task successfully completed?

The requirement is to get OIM provisiong workflow pending and wait for a external status ready. When the external status not ready, I return "REJECTED" which mapped to "P" in "Task->Reponse" tab. Meanwhile, in the "Task->General" tab, I set the "Retry Count" to 5 and "Retry Period in Minutes" to 1.
I have hoped that once the task return "REJECTED", the workflow enter status "Pending". One minute later, the task re-instanced by OIM to have another check for whether the external status ready. If ready, return "COMPLETED". If not yet, return "REJECTED" and workflow re-enter pending. And on and on, until to max to 5 times attempt. But in fact, OIM workflow never attempt to re-enter the task again after the 1st time "REJECTED" returned.
How to do with this?

Use the code snippet below to get the task status. Based on this you can filter rejected tasks.
userintf = (tcUserOperationsIntf) ioUtilityFactory.getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf");
provintf = (tcProvisioningOperationsIntf)ioUtilityFactory.getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcProvisioningOperationsIntf");
long userKey=100;
tcResultSet userresultSet = userintf.getObjects(userKey);
for(int i=0;i<userresultSet.getRowCount();i++)
     userresultSet.goToRow(i);
     long processKey = userresultSet.getLongValue("Process Instance.Key");
     tcResultSet provresultSet = provintf.getProcessDetail(processKey);
     for(int j=0; i<provresultSet.getRowCount();j++)
          provresultSet.goToRow(j);
          String taskName = provresultSet.getStringValue("Process Definition.Tasks.Task Name");
          String taskStatus = provresultSet.getStringValue("Process Instance.Task Details.Status");

Patched Deployments issue: "waiting for another installation to complete"

I have some percent of computers which runs into above state in monthly patch deployments. I could minimal information from execmgmr, udpatesdeployment.log,
CliSpy and Client Center etc tools but that doesn’t offer much help to nail down the issue completely. Have any of you dealt to resolve such issue successfully ? Is there any efficient way to handle this ?
It seems I have
DeploymentA, waiting for the completion of DeploymentB, which in turn waiting for the completion of
DeploymentC. Is there any better approach I could take to nail down and resolve the issue. One of my finding is, KB articles installs (SCCM R3, SCCM Asset Intelligence) causes these issue as they restart (upgrade sort of execution) the
agent during the execution, I need to confirm these
Vasu

Hi Vasu,
This issue can be caused by a deployment was previously deployed and was now deleted. This was because the clients finished installation
and wanted to notify the Server that it is done, but since the deployment was deleted, it couldn’t Notify its progress to the site server and the CCM_DeploymentTaskEx1 got stuck.
Please use the following scripts to delete the instance to test this issue.
strService = "CcmExec"
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\CCM\SoftwareUpdates\DeploymentAgent")
Set colWMISettings = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from CCM_DeploymentTaskEx1")
For Each objWMISetting in colWMISettings
objWMISetting.AssignmentId = ""
objWMISetting.JobId = "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}"
objWMISetting.Put_
Next
'Stop service
Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objService = objWMI.Get("Win32_Service.Name='" & strService & "'")
objService.StopService()
WScript.Sleep 10000 ' Pause to allow service to stop
'Start service
Set objService = objWMI.Get("Win32_Service.Name='" & strService & "'")
objService.StartService()
WScript.Sleep 10000 ' Pause to allow service to start

Time duration taken for a job to complete

Hi
How do I konw what is the time duration that has taken for any job to be completed I am looking in RSMO and i am able to see the start time in the header tab for a job .how do i see the completed time??
Thanks
Sheetal

Hi Sheetal,
Double click on the start time a popup box would appear in that you can watch the End time as well.
Also below the Start time you can watch Run time as well,ie the Total Time taken to complete the data load.
or
you can check in SM37,
Copy the Reuqest name from monitor screen and paste it in the SM37 enter the name of the person who scheduled it or enter* to select all users.
you can find the Job details of that particular request.
Hope this helps.

Publish action waits for request to get completed in OSB11g

Hi all,
I am using OSB 11g. Following is my scenario:
1) ProxyService1(wsdl based Proxy) publishes to ProxyService2(local Proxy)
2) ProxyService2 routes to an MQ Posting BusinessService
In ProxyService1 Response Pipeline, I have configured a dummy response irrespective of the Request.
When I keep the Retry Count of BusinessService as 3 and Retry Iteration Interval as 120, and test ProxyService1 by keeping the Queue down, it waits for 6 minutes to give the dummy response.
I do not want the ProxyService1 to get held up for such a long time. It should fire-and-forget the request and give response immediately. I even tried to Publish to the BusinessService. Still the same problem. Can anyone guide me?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Karthik
Edited by: Karthik Krishnamurthy on May 13, 2011 2:32 AM

I know this might be late, but just wanted to mention that you can publish to a Proxy/Business Service asynchronously using the Routing Options (Quality of Service: Best Effort) with the publish action.
This will ensure that the Calling proxy does not wait for a response from the provider (be it Proxy/Business Service). If we use this OSB will try its best to publish it, but does not guarantee that the message be delivered. But as long as the provider is available, the message is processed separately and does not block the main calling proxy.
We use this scenarios frequently in our project. So just wanted to pass it on :)
You can find a snap shot @ http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19901533/OSB_Publish_Action.JPG
Refer to http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/userguide/modelingmessageflow.html#wp1134375 for more information.
Thanks,
Patrick
