Table of Contents

Chapter 1 Simple Jobs The goal of this chapter is to get you, as quick as possible, going with the Scheduler. In the end you will automate simple tasks that are now maintained in for example cron, task manager, or the good old DBMS_JOB package. Chapter 2 Simple Chain In this chapter you will see lot of possibilities of chains with many examples and explanations. In short, all you ever wanted to know about chains but were afraid to ask. Chapter 3 Control the Scheduler For you people, living in an organization that requires strict job separation, this chapter will show how to make good use of the Scheduler and apply job separation. Chapter 4 Managing resources This is a very important chapter that explains how to crank up the power of a system to the limits by combining the Scheduler and resource manager. Here you will find how to get the best out of your system. Chapter 5 Getting out of the database This chapter will be of great help in setting up remote external jobs, introduced in oracle 11g. How is this related to the old fashioned local external jobs that we have got to know since oracle 10g and why we should get rid of the old external jobs? Get your answers here. Chapter 6 Events This chapter helps the reader to get a firm grip on events and explains how to make good use of events. Events sound like voodoo, but in the end are an extra tool found in the Scheduler. Chapter 7 Debugging the Scheduler When the jobs get more complicated it gets harder to understand why something works out differently than planned. This chapter gives the reader a new look at how to follow and debug Scheduler jobs. Chapter 8 The Scheduler in Real Life Here you will find some creative implementations of more or less common tasks this time implemented using the Scheduler. This chapter gives working code with clear explanations. This broadens the horizon and will take down barriers that might exist between other environments and oracle. Chapter 9 Other configurations This chapter shows how the Scheduler can be used in other configurations like standby databases and RAC. Chapter 10 - Working remotely This chapter shows how the Scheduler can be managed and monitored remotely through a web interface.

Author Information

Ronald Rood has been an IT professional for over 20 years. His roots are in the Bull gcos8 mainframes where he played with assembly language until Oracle and UNIX came across his path. He eagerly joined the Oracle community and became a skilled innovating DBA and trouble shooter. Ronald's real power is in the combination of the rich UNIX world and Oracle. There is no such thing as a problem that can not be solved; it just might take a little time. Next to C, PRO*C, lots of scripting languages and – of course – PL/SQL, he also speaks Dutch, English, German, and some French. In his private time that he shares with his family with two children he likes to take an occasional dive (from the sky), fly radio controlled models, ride recumbent, and work as a volunteer for a local Water Scouts group. Currently Ronald is one of the Ciber oracle consultants in The Netherlands and cooperates in many projects for many large companies. Before writing this book Ronald wrote oracle related articles for the Dutch oracle user group magazine. On his blog you can find some short articles about various items, mostly oracle related. Ronald Rood has been interviewed by Oracle about Oracle Scheduler. Listen to it here here.
