 Oracle Scheduling Conditional Job Enabling
Oracle Tips by Burleson Consulting

Advanced Oracle Utilities: The Definitive Reference by Rampant TechPress is written by the top Oracle database experts (Bert Scalzo, Donald Burleson, and Steve Callan).  The following is an excerpt from the book.

The current job schedules for this example can be queried using the job_queue_query.sql script listed below.

 

job_queue_query.sql

 

set feedback off

alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';

alter session set nls_timestamp_format = 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS.FF';

alter session set nls_timestamp_tz_format = 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS.FF TZH:TZM';

set feedback on

 

set linesize 100

column created_timestamp format a27

column next_run_date format a34

column next_date format a20

 

prompt

prompt USER_SCHEDULER_JOBS

select

   job_name,

   enabled,

   next_run_date

from

   user_scheduler_jobs

order by

   job_name;

 

prompt USER_JOBS

select

   job,

   broken,

   next_date

from

   user_jobs

order by

   job;

 

The output of this script along with the output of the job_chain_query.sql script is listed next:

 

SQL> @job_chain_query.sql

 

no rows selected

 

SQL> @job_queue_query.sql

 

USER_SCHEDULER_JOBS

 

JOB_NAME                    ENABL NEXT_RUN_DATE

--------------------------- ----- ----------------------------

JOB_CHAIN_ENABLE_TASK_1     TRUE  08-AUG-2004 06:00:00.800000 +01:00

JOB_CHAIN_ENABLE_TASK_2     FALSE

JOB_CHAIN_ENABLE_TASK_3     FALSE

 

3 rows selected.

 

At this point, the first task is scheduled but has not been executed, hence no results in the job_chain table.  Rather than waiting until 6:00, it can be forced to run immediately.  The results below show that the first task has run and the second job has been enabled.

 

SQL> exec dbms_scheduler.run_job ('job_chain_enable_task_1');

 

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

 

SQL> @job_queue_query.sql

--------------------------- ----- ----------------------------

JOB_CHAIN_ENABLE_TASK_1     TRUE  08-AUG-2004 06:00:00.800000 +01:00

JOB_CHAIN_ENABLE_TASK_2     TRUE  08-AUG-2004 12:00:00.200000 +01:00

Next, run the second job manually.  The results below show that the second task has run and the third job has been enabled.

 

SQL> exec dbms_scheduler.run_job ('job_chain_enable_task_2');

 

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

 

SQL> @job_chain_query.sql

 

CREATED_TIMESTAMP           TASK_NAME

--------------------------- --------------------

07-AUG-2004 13:52:28.227000 TASK_1

JOB_CHAIN_ENABLE_TASK_3    TRUE  07-AUG-2004 18:00:00.700000 +01:00

Next, run the third job manually.  The results below show that the third task has run successfully.

 

SQL> exec dbms_scheduler.run_job ('job_chain_enable_task_3');

 

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

 

SQL> @job_chain_query.sql

Finally, run the first job again to see that the subsequent jobs have been enabled or disabled appropriately.

 

SQL> exec dbms_scheduler.run_job ('job_chain_enable_task_1');

 

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

 

SQL> @job_chain_query.sql

Care must be taken when running the pre-10g version of this code due to the way the broken procedure works.  When a job has its broken flag set to FALSE, its next run date is set to the value specified by the next_date parameter.  If this is not specified, it defaults to the current datetime.  As a result, the enabled job will not run at the expected time.  In this example, the next_date parameter has been specified as a two-minute interval for the convenience of testing, but in a real example, it must be set to an appropriate datetime value.
