Bergman Precedence: bulk Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit How about dbms_job.submit(:jobno, 'statspack.snap', sysdate+n/1440, 'sysdate 15/1440'); where n= a number of minutes to the nearest 15 minutes. So if it's 14:25 then it would be sysdate+5/1440. since you only need to do this one time, just make sure that sysdate + n = 0, 15, 30 or 45 after the hour... :-) Of course, if you want to automate the thing, then build this around a PL/SQL procedure...that calculates the value of n..... Not elegant, but I think that when someone looks at DBA_JOBS they are not going to ask what the $*#(@( you were trying to do.. I subscribe to the KISS philosophy... :-) RF -----Original Message----- Jared.Still@radisys.com Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 6:24 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Feeling particularly anal the other day, I used the following specification to run statspack at the top of the hour, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the hour. variable jobno number; variable instno number; begin select instance_number into :instno from v$instance; dbms_job.submit( :jobno , 'statspack.snap;' -- every 15 minutes at 00,15,30 and 45 , trunc(sysdate,'hh24') + ( ( 15 + ( 15 * floor(to_number(to_char(sysdate,'mi')) / 15))) / ( 24 * 60 )) , 'trunc(sysdate,''hh24'') + ( ( 15 + ( 15 * floor(to_number(to_char(sysdate,''mi'')) / 15))) / ( 24 * 60 ))' ); commit; end; / Seems to me that the time specs could be simplified a bit.
