I'm still researching this but if anyone has any insight it would be much appreciated.

Windows 2003 Server, Oracle 10.2

I'm trying to create an external job, very simple test for POC and it keeps failing. I've followed 285313.1 and the associated bug 3824718 with no luck.

I'm just trying to execute the cmd.exe in windows - nothing too complicated here - I was trying to call another job from cmd.exe but it wasn't working so I went back to the very basics.

I was thinking maybe it was a permission problem on the OS for some reason - so I copied the cmd.exe from system32 up to the root c:\ and renamed it junkcmd.exe - I then removed all the inherited permission's and added 'everyone' with full privs. I can run this from the command line or from explorer and it runs fine. From dbms_scheduler - not working - can't find file.

Below are the details for the job I'm trying to run along with the associated error messages. I have also granted the 'CREATE EXTERNAL JOB' priv to my id - bwisniewski.

Has anyone gotten an 'external' job to run on Windows via dbms_scheduler? I just keep hitting brick walls with this.

Thanks!
