Dbms_scheduler.create_job issue on pl/sql code

Edson Martins-OracleApr 17 2018 — edited Apr 18 2018

Hi everyone.

Currently I'm trying to make a test using create job as a way to have multiple process on database starting in a loop.

Basically I'm getting different behaviors when testing on different database machines. I'll define the machine names are A and B.

If I started running the anonymous block below in the machine A for a loop to create 3 multiple jobs, is working fine, i.e, the create job using enabled parameter, created the job and automatically start:

DECLARE

L_job_name VARCHAR2(100);

L_comments VARCHAR2(240);

L_pls_block VARCHAR2(32000);

L_thread NUMBER := 1; -- count of jobs

L_max_threads NUMBER := 3; -- max number of jobs to be started

L_lot_id NUMBER := 1234; -- add any number just to represent a lot

BEGIN

while L_thread <= L_max_threads loop

---

L_job_name := 'job_' || L_lot_id || L_thread;

L_comments := 'Job test ' || L_lot_id || ' and thread ' || L_thread;

L_pls_block := 'BEGIN logger.log(''job running of thread' || L_thread || '''); END;';

---

dbms_scheduler.create_job(job_name => L_job_name,

job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',

job_action => L_pls_block,

start_date => SYSTIMESTAMP,

comments => L_comments,

enabled => true);

--DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB(L_job_name, TRUE);

L_thread := L_thread + 1;

end loop;

END;

/

but if I start the same code in the machine B, nothing is happening and I need to remove the comment in the line about DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB(L_job_name, TRUE);

I did another test in the same machine B using enabled FALSE when creating the job and during the call from DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB changed to false in the user_credentials but only one job run, i.e, the result was logged from just one job, instead of the 3 jobs that had most be created.

Do you have an idea about what I need to look? Is there something related about database setup, credentials that I need to take a look?

Thanks so much

Edson
