In the last release of the Oracle Utilities Application Framework, we released an integration to the DBMS_SCHEDULER to manage and execute our batch processes. We supply a pl/sql based interface to our batch process.
DBMS_SCHEDULER is part of the database and therefore there are lots of advice on the internet to help use the scheduler effectively. I have compiled a list of some of the resources on the internet that may be useful when using this scheduler:
- Oracle Scheduler Concepts
- Scheduling Jobs with Oracle Scheduler
- Administrating Oracle Scheduler
- Overview of the Oracle Scheduler
- Troubleshooting Assistant for Oracle Scheduler
- Handling DST and timezones in Oracle Scheduler
- 25 Ways of using the Oracle Scheduler
- How to use the evaluation functionality to check your calendar
- Switching to Winter Time
This list is not exhaustive so take a look at other resources you might find useful (look for DBMS_SCHEDULER in the search engine of your choice). Those coming to the Oracle Utilities Edge Conference should note that I am conducting a session on the scheduler and the integration on Feb 14 at the conference if you want more information.
