Raj,

WARNING: Cron has been known to fail around here leaving one heck of a mess behind. The primary culprit is when you have a power failure. In our case the power failure lasted more than 8 hours. When the computer restarted the cron job's time had passed & it would not start for another week by itself. On the other hand a dbms_job that should have started at about the same time did. We use both, but you have to understand the weaknesses of both.

We had the same situation and then we use "cron" that never fails. Now, we don't trust dbms_job ... I had a TAR open on that, but can't access it now.

Anyone run into any problems with the job scheduler in 9iR1 not kicking off jobs when they are scheduled?

We have a situation where a given job (runs every 4 hours or so) will be kicked
of successfully 2-3 times, and then on the 4th time the scheduler does not kick
it off, next_date is not incremented... it's like the job just gets lost in space...This same scheduled job ran fine in 8i. (this is an 8i to 9i migrated
database)

Any thoughts on this?
