Jobs wizard (Oracle)

Go Up to Oracle Object Wizards

This wizard builds and submits a call to DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB with optional DBMS_SCHEDULER.SET_JOB_ARGUMENT_VALUE, DBMS_SCHEDULER.SET_ATTRIBUTE, and DBMS_SCHEDULER.ENABLE calls. This lets you create a fully-specified job.

Note: This functionality is available as of Oracle 10g.

Note: Before working with jobs, consult Oracle documentation for general information on DBMS_SCHEDULER. For more information, see Accessing Third Party Documentation.

To create a job using a wizard

1. In DBArtisan, on a connected Oracle datasource, expand the Instance and Scheduler nodes, right-click the Jobs node and select Create from the context menu.

2. Use the following topics as a guide to setting properties and performing tasks as you pass through the wizard panels:

• Properties panel - for details, see Jobs (Oracle) - Properties.
• Action panel - for details, see Jobs (Oracle) - Action.
• Arguments panel - for details, see Jobs (Oracle) - Arguments.
• DDL View panel - for details, see Previewing the DDL Generated to Create the New Object.

3. Finally, use the Finish button to create the object.

Depending on your selection, the following settings may be available: Repeat Interval - corresponds to a REPEAT_INTERVAL attribute. Calendaring syntax, as described in Oracle DBMS_SCHEDULER documentation, can be typed free-form, and will be passed directly to the server.

Schedule Owner and Schedule Name - correspond to SCHEDULE_NAME attribute components.
Properties	The Auto Drop setting corresponds to a CREATE_JOB AUTO_DROP attribute. Other settings result in one or more DBMS_SCHEDULER.SET_ATTRIBUTE calls being generated with RESTARTABLE, JOB_PRIORITY, MAX_RUNS, MAX_FAILURES, FAILED RUNS, STOP_ON_WINDOW_CLOSE, INSTANCE_STICKINESS, or JOB_WEIGHT attributes specified, as appropriate.

2. Based on your Job Type selection, provide additional details as follows:
   • PLSQL BLOCK - Type or paste the SQL to be executed.
   • STORED PROCEDURE - Provide the Procedure Owner and Procedure Name.
   • EXECUTEABLE - Use the browse button to locate the executable.

Jobs (Oracle) - Arguments

When creating or editing a job, if you selected an Action tab choice of PROGRAM, EXECUTABLE, or STORED PROCEDURE, this tab/panel lets you manage parameters to be passed.
