Hello All,

We have a scheduled job created using dbms_scheduler.
We need to change the package name used in the dbms_scheduler, without having to create a new job.
More specifically we need to alter the "JOB_ACTION" parameter(which is Package.procedure name) of dbms_schedular.create_job api. The "JOB_TYPE" parameter is PLSQL_BLOCK.

Thanks in Advance,
PHK

I have never used DBMS_SCHEDULER. But I recall from DBMS_JOBS that there was an api call to change the WHAT that was executed by the job. I have to image there is something similar.

As I review the package, there seem to be several routines that would provide the information you need and that will do what you need. Try doing a basick google on DBMS_SCHEDULER.

Good luck, Kevin

You probably want DBMS_SCHEDULER.SET_ATTRIBUTE

Why can't you just drop the job and create a new one

Thanks Kevin/JRowbottom for you responses.

I checked the set_attribute, but it does not allow me to set the JOB_ACTION parameter.
I guess I will just drop and create it.

Thanks anyways
