Schedule a stored procedure every 5 minutes
724314Sep 24 2009 — edited Sep 24 2009Could someone please help,
Currently I have a job that runs as a background process (via APEX JOB) when the user selects a button in my APEX application.
However, I wish to run the same procedure as a background process every 5 minutes (automatically) so the user is not expected to remember to keep running the job. Can anybody advise the best way to do this?
I have found examples of using DBMS_JOB, DBMS_SCHEDULER etc. but none of the examples help, as I need to record the job number (in a seperate jobs table) so that I can develop a APEX report which shows all jobs currently running, or completed (detailing the date and time they were run).
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Cheers
Steve
