Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> RE: easy dbms_job.submit question
Andrey,
If you really need to launch script/external commands from DBMS_JOBS, then
you have to go to Oracle 8 and use a
Java stored procedure that can communicate with external programs ... PL/SQL
is unable to do that but through clumsy workarounds like spooling a script
generated from Oracle, using UTL_FILE, then making it executed by the OS
through a cron job (oh yeah, on NT there is an additional tool that does the
same, dunnow the exact name, AT something ...).
Frederic.

I think you can only schedule PL/SQL procedures to run thru dbms_job, also you might want to give it specific time, otherwise I would just run the script.
Also if you would like to schedule your script to run at certain
times, I believe NT has an AT command (not sure how to use it), but
the command would look something like:
sqlplus -s user/passworld
@F:\ORANT\BACKUP\LXOF\BACKUPSCRIPT\LXOFBACKUP.SQL
and your script should have 'exit;' as the last line.

good luck.
