You probably want to look at DBMS_SCHEDULER rather than DBMS_JOBS. DBMS_SCHEDULAR is the new job scheduler and It allows the daisy chaining that you are looking for and direct execution of external jobs from within the database. OEM has an interface into DBMS_SCHEDULER. One word of warning. The new job scheduler has a lot more functionality, and is thus a bit more complex.

Cheers!

Thank you Martin and Adar.

Both these options are promising.
I'm more inclined towards database job chains as it will help me explore other features of database. Ofcourse batch job is always easy. Let me try these options and get back to you.

Thanks a lot for your inputs.
