job

Hi

I have a problem with jobs that I schedule to run - they dont seem to be executed at all. How do I check what's gone wrong?

The process ora_snp0_ is running.

If I execute the job manually using dbms_job.run(job#) it works fine. This is the job I was talking about:

SQL> r
1* select * from user_jobs

your job schedule run every hour, check your init file
job_queue_interval if should less than hour.

suggestion, if you are testing replication, make both value
very small (few seconds) otherwise you have a long long
test peiord. (impact - watch disk for your archive log files)

Check ur alert file if there are any error messages.
check job_queue_interval..

I am not able to understand,may be i am reading it wrong , why is your this_date 00-DECEMBER.

Hi all

Now, the jobs in the queue are getting executed after I changed the interval to 5secs. But, I have one more problem. When the job gets executed it gives error -
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 15
ORA-01001: invalid cursor
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SNAPSHOT", line 386
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_IREFRESH", line 450
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_REFRESH", line 182
ORA-06512: at line 1

After it got executed a number of times, the job was marked as BROKEN. Does anyone know why I am getting that invalid cursor problem. It works fine if I do dbms_job.run(15).

BTW, how many times does a job get executed with error before it is marked as broken?

Thanks for all the help so far - everyone.

Daud

IF the job failures reach 16 then it will become broken.
