Title: Five Features You Ought to Know About the Oracle Scheduler (Abstract ID:239756)

Date and time: 06/29/2011, 11:15 AM-12:15 PM

Abstract:

DBMS_JOB was made available with Oracle 7.2 and has been superseded in 10g by the Oracle Scheduler. Oracle recommends that you switch from DBMS_JOB to Oracle Scheduler.

In this session we will explore the following five Scheduler features that make the Oracle RDBMS the most powerful scheduling tool ever existed:

1. Calendar: Use the rich calendaring syntax of the Scheduler to enable you to define simple and complex schedules.
2. Chains: Implement dependency based scheduling, in which jobs are started depending on the outcomes of one or more previous jobs.
3. Resource Manager: Get the best out of your system by combining the Scheduler and the Resource Manager.
4. Events: Learn how to schedule jobs based on events and how to listen and react to raised events.
5. External jobs: Schedule jobs that run operating system executable that runs outside the database.

I will also be participating in an Oracle RDBMS Database Development panel in a Lunch and Learn session on Tuesday, June 28.

Looking forward to seeing you at ODTUG Kscope11.
