Hi all,

In previous post I was having problem with the ARGUMENTs of the PROGRAM. And I solved it by trial and error.

Now JOB and PROGRAM is created using DBMS_SCHEDULER package.
But problem here is that JOB is not running on the scheduled time automatically. If I run the JOB by RUN_JOB method then only it gets executed.

following is the output of all_scheduler_jobs columns having NOT NULL.
SQL>select owner, job_name, job_style, job_creator, client_id,
  2          program_owner, program_name, schedule_type, start_date,
  3          job_class, enabled, auto_drop, restartable, state,
  4          job_priority, run_count, failure_count, retry_count,
  5          next_run_date, logging_level, stop_on_window_close,
  6          instance_stickiness, system, job_weight, deferred_drop
  7  from all_scheduler_jobs
  8  where job_name = 'JOB_DIR_VERIFY37';

And following is the all_scheduler_programs

By seeing this fact, can anyone tell me that what is the problem with it in executing?

Thanks in advance.

I have not used jobs in a while so my knowledge on this topic may be a bit too old for you. Still... I remember several gotchas in the past:

1) if after submitting a job via dbms_job, you do not commit, the job is not created.

2) if the job is broken it will not run.

3) there used to be job_que_processes parameter. If no or insufficient job_queues exist, jobs will not run. This parameter was replaced by something else I believe, but some similar concept still applies I would think be it o/s threads, or oracle threads or whatever.

4) sometimes jobs run but do nothing becuase of the data. They still ran as far a oracle is concerned and this should be observable via the dba_jobs view.

5) jobs can be set up to run once or run periodically. A run once job would be deleted under the old rules so this may not apply to you. However I notice your "restart" column says false. Not sure what this means if anything.

Your all_scheduler_jobs is unfamiliar to me. I am an old school DBA_JOBS kind of guy.

Good luck, Kevin

Thank you Kevin sir for your concern.

Although I put COMMIT statement problem remains as it is.
Please have a look at following code if you can find any problem.

Following is the snippet of the code to create JOB.
...
   v_prog_name := 'Prg_DIR_VERIFY' || v_seq_value;
 81      v_job_name := 'Job_DIR_VERIFY' || v_seq_value;

Kevin,

This is dbms_scheduler, not dbms_job. A lot has changed.


Delna,

Is the problem that the job is not running at all or that it is not running when you expect it to? When are you expecting it to run? You have it set to run only once a few seconds after it is enabled or as soon after that as it can with no retries in case of problems and automatically dropped and not repeated.
