WWV_FLOW_JOBS : MAIL_QUEUE JOB INVALID

Hi all,
I had to rebuild all catalog information after a System Crash.
Done that, many PLSQL-Objects of HTMLDB were left invalid.
After running 'utlrep.sql' the htmldb Job in for flushing Mails currently doesn't want to do his Job.
In DBA_JOBS the NEXT_DATE shows Dec.01.4000, which is a little late for mailings.
Even the Status is broken.
I need some hints for the renewing of that part.
Is there any liittle script for recreation of it?
regards
Franz Langner

Hi Franz,
If you wish, you can remove the job and resubmit it. You would need to do this as user FLOWS_xxxxxx (which you may need to unlock and then lock again). This assumes that the job number is 4002.
begin
dbms_job.remove( job => 4002 );
dbms_job.isubmit( job => 4002,
                  what => 'wwv_flow_mail.push_queue(wwv_flow_platform.get_preference(''SMTP_HOST_ADDRESS''),wwv_flow_platform.get_preference(''SMTP_HOST_PORT''));',
                  next_date => sysdate + 10/1440,
                  interval   => 'sysdate + 10/1440');
end;Joel

Background job in APO does not start because of invalid user name

Hello,
I have a macro in a planning book and the /sapapo/cons_check program which a triggered via a background job. Now, I have problems with the start of the job:
At the time the job was created inside SAP, an error occured. The job contains invalid values.
The user name within the job does not exist any more.
Now, I try to change the user name of the job (via step in sm37), but the error occured again.
I have the possibility to create the invalid user name once again in su01.
But I want to change the user name of the job - does somebody know how to do it?
Thanks for your help!
Kind regards
Heinz

Hello Heinz, this looks surprising.
It's quite easy to change the user name in the SM37 job step, and we haven't faced issues with this.
Could you check how many jobs are in either "scheduled" or in "released" status, and change steps for all of them? May be you changed the scheduled job, but the released job wasn't changed.
Use your job name and give a search date as 1-2 years in the past, and around 1 month in the future. With this time horizon, you should most likely be able to capture all the relevant jobs having the same name that you are using.
Now change the user name in step for all the jobs received above to be fully sure.
One more trial could be to copy the current scheduled job to another job, modify the user name in this newly created job and then delete the old one.
One of the above trials might possibly help you in some way, else its very tough to understand/explain your situation.

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.

SSIS package works in development environment but fails when job scheduler executes, file path invalid

SIS package works in development environment but fails when job scheduler executes, file path invalid
Relatively simple package to get OLE-DB connection to MS FoxPro 9.0 DB
The failure in the job log states that the path is invalid its a network path (\\192.168.1.xxx\foldername) this has been run several ways with the remote computer being mapped as a network drive and through the \\ notation described above.
Thinking it was a security issue between the SQL agent account and my account I tested by subsitution myself as a proxy account for the agent when running this job, again same result failed on network path.
One issue I see is that the remote computer is running Server 2000 (legacy software incompatable with newer versions)
Is it possible that this is a security issue, since if i understand correctly the current MS domain security model didn't exist until Server 2003.

Hi REIData,
Have you got the issue resolved? Based on your description, please make sure the target folder is shared properly. If the computer on which the SQL Server Agent job runs doesn’t join the domain as the server that hosts the shared folder, you have to share
the folder with everyone by adding “Everyone” to the people list on the File Sharing page of the folder and assign "Read/Write" permission to it.

Acrobat X - You have created an invalid conversion job.."

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 7 and have upgraded all my software. I have MSOffice 2010 and the download (trial) version of Acrobat X. When I prepare a document in MSWord (in either .doc or .docx format) and click on the Create Acrobat icon, I get the message "You have created an invalid conversion job..." If I try to Print to Acrobat, the program goes into non-responisve mode until I use Task Manager to terminate it. Thus for all practical purposes a full version of Acrobat X is useless and as a work-around, I transfer the documents to my laptop, which still has an earlier version of Acrobat which works. I purchased the full Acrobat X and am waiting for delivery of my disk to get a serial number to convert my trial to a registered version. Is this a problem with the trial version, is my install incorrect, or what?

I have just finished over four hours of support sessions with Adobe and Microsoft support and I think the problem is finally solved. On Monday and Wednesday I spoke with two Adobe support personnel and in the second case, I felt that I was teaching him Acrobat. They seemed to want to start at the beginning and after an hour, they finally got to my problem. By that time on Wednesday, I was really frustrated. I called Adobe support today and got an agent who appeared to be able to start with my description of the problem and investigate from there. It appeared to be a permissions problem and as a matter of fact when he had me create a second account on the computer, I was able to generate pdf. Why it didn't work with mine, I had no clue. He did a few things and asked me to uninstall both Office and Acrobat and reinstall. I got them both uninstalled, and then found that what I thought was my Office installer had a problem which directed me to MS support. After some time trying to find the correct support, I found someone who downloaded a complete install of Office (not just the install stub) and installed Office and stuck around while I installed Acrobat to see that I got that working, which this time it did.
There was more to the problem than just joboptions files and although I watched each person operate, I couldn't say whether it was an Adobe or Microsoft problem and who or what really solved it. But it's solved Thanks.

SQL Server Agent Job And Database Mail - Error formatting query, probably invalid paramters

We have a stored procedure that we are trying to call with a SQL Server Agent Job. The stored procedure calls Database Mail. This is SQL 2008. The execute task is simply:
USE [Production]
GO
EXEC [dbo].[JOB_EMAIL_SCHEDULED_REPORTS]
GO
When the job runs, it is erroring out immediately, with the error:
Execute as user: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE. Error formatting query, probably invalid paramters [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22050). The step failed.
When we go into SQL Server Manager and just execute the SQL query, it works though. Something within the SQL Server Agent job, and Database Mail is causing problems. Any ideas? Thanks.

Justin,
If you use SSMS then the procedure is executed under a different user when compared to running using a SQL Server Agent Job.
Isolate the problem by running a SQL Server agent job that sends a mail. Also check if the NT Authority\Network Service account is
in good standing. Look at the below thread with a similar problem that had an expired account.

Import/Export Jobs Fail - ORA-01017 Invalid UserName/PW - Solved!

Every time I try to run either an Import or Export Job from OEM it always fails with ORA-01017 Invalid UserName/PW.
I have read numerous posts in this forum on related topics.
Suggestion have been;
1. Make sure OS login is a member of the ORA_DBA group.
2. Make sure the OS user has the ability to logon as batch job.
3. Make sure the ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME are set.
4. Make sure to set up Preferred Credentials on the Preferences page.
4. On and on and on.
I am using Oracle Version 10.2.0.1.0 On Windows 2003 Server Enterprise SP1.
When I installed the DB using Oracle Universal Installer it asks what Password you would like to assign to SYS, SYSTEM etc. I used the following password "AvT_$651#JK" which it accepted without problem. The installation completed and I am able to log into OEM using SYS/AvT_$651#JK (SYSDBA) or SYSTEM/AvT_$651#JK (Normal).
I then proceed to "import from export files" a schema from a previously "export to export files" that was created on another host using the same Oracle Version 10.2.0.1.0 On Windows 2003 Server Enterprise SP1. This job always fails with "ORA-01017 Invalid UserName/PW" even though the username and pw are correct!
Turns out the password itself is the problem, apparently some part of the process (RMAN??) does not like the special characters in the PW. Changing the PW to "testpw1" worked.
Using Oracle Universal Installer should have prevented me from using a password that violated this policy.
BG...

Does you provide username under local security policy along with domainname like
abc\uo.cok ? If not, please enter username along with domainname and let me know the result. If possible aste eventviewer log for this connection

ERROR: Invalid data pump job state; one of: DEFINING or EXECUTING.

Hi all.
I'm using Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3) I had some scheduled jobs for export the DB with datapump. Some days ago they began to fail with the message:

Wait a few moments and check the log file (if one was used) for more details.
The EM says that I can't monitor the job because there's no master tables. How can I find the log?
I also founded in the bdump that exceptions occurred:

TES 5.3.1 sacmd modrule -J " class name " returns invalid job class argument

The docs indicate modrule should work as follows but it returns invalid job class argument. The class "My Class" is defined and job alias is correct. Here is the cmd syntax I used.:
sacmd modrule -a myjobalias -J "My Class"
I would like help to understand why class args is invalid. Appreciate the help.
I wish I could get more verbose output to see what its doing which leads to my second question, anyone know how to get verbose output?

I have some pretty extensive experience with CMD line...you need quotes when you have values with spaces. This is true of MODRULE and other CMD line Commands
SA>modrule -i 56034 -J JC with Space
Error: invalid job class argument
SA>modrule -i 56034 -J 'JC with Space'
Error: invalid job class argument
SA>modrule -i 56034 -J "JC with Space"
Request sent to Master.
you do not need quotes when value does not have quotes (on most commands)
modrule example using alias and jobid
SA>modrule -a 56034A -J Tidal

so how do i proceed in this kind of case.
any help please.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
   Just you check whether your program is registered or not.
   If it is registered then you can find in SMGW transaction and go to
   GOTO - Logged on clients
in that you will be able to see your program name if it registers succesfully.
you have typed rfcexec -aBJACCESS 172.22.149.199 xsapdp10
in this way.
In this you have misseg 'g' in front of your sap ip.
Thanks&Regards

Guide to External Jobs on 10g with dbms_scheduler e.g. scripts,batch files

GUIDE TO RUNNING EXTERNAL JOBS ON 10g WITH DBMS_SCHEDULER
NOTE: Users using 11g should use the new method of specifying a credential which eliminates many of the issues mentioned in this note.
This guide covers several common questions and problems encountered when using
dbms_scheduler to run external jobs, either on Windows or on UNIX.
What operating system (OS) user does the job run as ?
External jobs which have a credential (available in 11g) run as the user
specified in the credential. But for jobs without credentials including
all jobs in 10gR1 and 10gR2 there are several cases.
- On UNIX systems, in releases including and after 10.2.0.2 there is a file $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora . All external jobs not in the SYS schema and with no credential run as the user and group specified in this file. This should be nobody:nobody by default.
- On UNIX systems, in releases prior to 10.2.0.2 there was no "externaljob.ora" file. In this case all external jobs not in the SYS schema and with no credential run as the owner and group of the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/extjob file which should be setuid and setgid. By default extjob is owned by nobody:nobody except for oracle-xe where it is owned by oracle:oraclegroup and is not setuid/setgid.
- On Windows, external jobs not in the SYS schema and with no credential run as the user that the OracleJobScheduler Windows service runs as. This service must be started before these jobs can run.
- In all releases on both Windows and UNIX systems, external jobs in the SYS schema without a credential run as the oracle user.
What errors are reported in SCHEDULERJOB_RUN_DETAILS views ?
If a job fails, the first place to look for diagnostic information is the SCHEDULERJOB_RUN_DETAILS set of views. In 10gR2 and up the first 200 characters of the standard error stream is included in the additional_info column.
In all releases, the error number returned by the job is converted into a
system error message (e.g. errno.h on UNIX or net helpmsg on Windows) and that
system error message is recorded in the additional info column. If there is no
corresponding message the number is displayed.
In 11g and up the error number returned by the job is additionally recorded in
the error# column. In earlier releases 27369 would always be recorded in the
error# column.
Generic Issues Applicable to UNIX and Windows
- The job action (script or executable) must return 0 or the job run will be marked as failed.
- Always use the full pathname to executables and scripts.
- Do not count on environment variables being set in your job. Make sure that the script or executable that your jobs runs sets all required environment variables including ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, PATH etc.
- It is not recommended to pass in a complete command line including arguments as the action. Instead it is recommended to pass in only the path to and name of the executable and to pass in arguments as job argument values.
- Scripts with special characters in the execution path or script name may give problems.
- Ensure that the OS user your job runs as has the required privileges/permissions to run your job. See above for how to tell who the job runs as.
- External job actions cannot contain redirection operators e.g. > < >> | && ||
- In general try getting a simple external job working first e.g. /bin/echo or ipconfig.exe on Windows. Also try running the job action directly from the commandline as the OS user that the job will run as.
Windows-specific Issues
- The OracleJobScheduler Windows service must be started before external jobs will run (except for jobs in the SYS schema and jobs with credentials).
- The user that the OracleJobScheduler Windows service runs as must have the "Log on as batch job" Windows privilege.
- A batch file (ending in .bat) cannot be called directly by the Scheduler. Instead cmd.exe must be used and the name of the batch file passed in as an argument. For example
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job('myjob',
 job_action=>'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CMD.EXE',
 number_of_arguments=>3,
 job_type=>'executable', enabled=>false);
dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value('myjob',1,'/q');
dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value('myjob',2,'/c');
dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value('myjob',3,'c:\temp\test.bat');
dbms_scheduler.enable('myjob');
end;
/- In 10gR1 external jobs that wrote to standard output or standard error streams would sometimes return errors. Redirect to files or suppress all output and error messages when using 10gR1 to run external jobs.
UNIX-specific Issues
- When running scripts, make sure that the executable bit is set.
- When running scripts directly, make sure that the first line of the script in a valid shebang line - starting with "#!" and containing the interpreter for the script.
- In release 10.2.0.1, jobs creating a large amount of standard error text may hang when running (this was fixed in the first 10.2.0.2 patchset). If you are seeing this issue, redirect standard error to a file in your job. This issue has been seen when running the expdp utility which may produce large amounts of standard error text.
- the user that the job runs as (see above section) must have execute access on $ORACLE_HOME/bin and all parent directories. If this is not the case the job may be reported as failed or hang in a running state. For example if your $ORACLE_HOME is /opt/oracle/db then you would have to make sure that
chmod a+rx /opt
chmod a+rx /opt/oracle
chmod a+rx /opt/oracle/db
chmod a+rx /opt/oracle/db/bin
- On oracle-xe, the primary group of your oracle user (if it exists) must be dba before you install oracle-xe for external jobs to work. If you have an oracle user from a regular Oracle installation it may have the primary group set to oinstall.
- On oracle-xe, the extjobo executable is missing so external jobs in the SYS schema will not work properly. This can be fixed by copying the extjob executable to extjobo in the same directory ($ORACLE_HOME/bin).
- Check that correct permissions are set for external job files - extjob and externaljob.ora (see below)
Correct permissions for extjob and externaljob.ora on UNIX
There is some confusion as to what correct permissions are for external job related files.
In 10gR1 and 10.2.0.1 :
- rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora should not exist
- bin/extjob should be setuid and setgid 6550 (r-sr-s---). It should be owned by the user that jobs should run as and by the group that jobs should run as.
- bin/extjobo should have normal 755 (rwxr-xr-x) permissions and be owned by oracle:oraclegroup
In 10.2.0.2 and higher
- rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora file must must be owned by root:oraclegroup and be writable only by the owner i.e. 644 (rw-r--r--) It must contain at least two lines: one specifying the run-user and one specifying the run-group.
- bin/extjob file must be also owned by root:oraclegroup but must be setuid i.e. 4750 (-rwsr-x---)
- bin/extjobo should have normal 755 (rwxr-xr-x) permissions and be owned by oracle:oraclegroup
In 11g and higher
Same as 10.2.0.2 but additionally bin/jssu should exist with root setuid
permissions i.e. owned by root:oraclegroup with 4750 (-rwsr-x---)
Internal Error numbers for UNIX on 10.2.0.2 or 10.1.0.6 or higher
If you are not using a credential and are using version 10.2.0.2 or higher or 10.1.0.6 or higher you may come across an internal error number. Here are the meanings for the internal error numbers.
274661 - can't get owner of or permissions of externaljob.ora file
274662 - not running as root or externaljob.ora file is writable by group or other or externaljob.ora file not owned by root (can't switch user)
274663 - setting the group or effective group failed
274664 - setting the user or effective user failed
274665 - a user or group id was not changed successfully
274666 - cannot access or open externaljob.ora file
274667 - invalid run_user specified in externaljob.ora file
274668 - invalid run_group specified in externaljob.ora file
274669 - error parsing externaljob.ora file
274670 - extjobo is running as root user or group

Hi Ravi,
Can you help me...
Hi All,
I planned to create a job to do rman backup daily at 04:00 AM.
1. I created a program as follows
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_PROGRAM(
program_name => 'rman_backup_prg',
program_action => '/u02/rmanback/rman.sh',
program_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
comments => 'RMAN BACKUP');
END;
my rman script is
#!/usr/bin/ksh
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
export PATH=$PATH:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/exp rman/cat@catdb file=/u02/rmanback/rm
an_220108.dmp log=/u02/rmanback/rman_220108.log owner=rman statistics=none comp
ress=n buffer=400000
compress *.dmp
exit
2. I created a schedule as follows
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE(
schedule_name => 'rman_backup_schedule',
start_date => SYSTIMESTAMP,
end_date => '31-DEC-16 05.00.00 AM',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY; BYHOUR=4',
comments => 'Every day at 4 am');
END;
3. I created ajob as follows.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'rman_backup_job',
program_name => 'rman_backup_prg',
schedule_name => 'rman_backup_schedule',
enabled=> true,
auto_drop=> false
END;
While I am running the job I am getting the following error anybody help me.
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: Not owner
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_ISCHED", line 150
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 441
ORA-06512: at line 2
If I removed "compress *.dmp" line in rman script it is working fine.
/* additional Info from dba_scheduler_job_run_details as follows */
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: Not owner

Hi. I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, It worked yesterday. Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files. I have to open a guide and read it and take a test

Hi. I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, It worked yesterday. Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files. I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow. I have deleted and reinstalled the application. I have rebooted. I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program. Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message. It simply says Attempt to access invalid address. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Hi Don,
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
Regards,
Rave
