DBMS_SCHEDULER.STOP_JOB

user11285038Feb 26 2014 — edited Feb 28 2014

Hi,

I have created a external job to execute exe's in unix box. The steps followed are as follows:

    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (

                          job_name=>v_job_name,

                          Job_Type => 'EXECUTABLE',

                          Job_Action => exe_name,

                          Enabled=>FALSE,

                          credential_name=>u_name,

                          number_of_arguments=>3);

    DBMS_SCHEDULER.SET_JOB_ARGUMENT_VALUE(v_job_name,1,file_name);

    DBMS_SCHEDULER.SET_JOB_ARGUMENT_VALUE(v_job_name,2,job_name);

    DBMS_SCHEDULER.SET_JOB_ARGUMENT_VALUE(v_job_name,3,job_request_id);

    DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB(v_job_name, TRUE);

The job is created and in unix box the exe is invoked successfully,,,

During this particular time when the unix box exe is still running, if I issue

BEGIN

          DBMS_SCHEDULER.STOP_JOB ( job_name=>kill_job_name , force=> true );

END;

The job is not stopped and the below error message is shown...

ORA-27366: job "140225_4202261012171102" is not running

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_ISCHED", line 199

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 557

ORA-06512: at line 2

27366. 00000 -  "job \"%s.%s\" is not running"

*Cause:    An attempt was made to stop a job that was not running.

*Action:   Verify the status of the job. If the job is running but this

           message is still being returned, contact Oracle support.

Also after sometime the unix box exe completes successfully. This is visible in dba_scheduler_job_run_details - SUCCEEDED..

Please provide your valuable inputs.

Regards,

VM
