DBMS scheduler oracle - how to execute a procedure - oracle

Question

I'm loosing my mind. I have a procedure named foo() which takes no arguments. I'd like to execute it, let's say, every 3 minutes. The code I wrote looks like:
BEGIN
dbms_scheduler.create_job(job_name => FooJob,
job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action => '
BEGIN
foo();
END;',
start_date => SYSTIMESTAMP,
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=MINUTELY;INTERVAL=3;BYHOUR=17;BYMINUTE=35;',
enabled => TRUE
comments => 'A comment.');
END;
/
This gives me an error: identificator 'applyjobpenalities' should be defined.
I based on this example: How to execute a procedure with DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB procedure
Also:
1) How to execute dbms_output.put_line() after execution of foo();? Is it possible to just put this line strightly away?
2) How to check if procedure foo() is (was) executing on behalf of scheduler?
UPDATE:
Ok so what I've done is:
1) I typed in SQL Plus 'set serveroutput on'
2) I made a procedure:
create or replace procedure proc1
IS
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line('sth');
end;
/
3) I changed scheduler code to:
BEGIN
dbms_scheduler.create_job( job_name => 'JustATest',
job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action =>
'BEGIN
proc1();
END;',
start_date => systimestamp + interval '10' second,
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=SECONDLY',
enabled => TRUE);
END;
/
But I can't see any result in SQL Plus. What am I missing? Both procedures compiled succesfully and I can see this job when I type:
SELECT * FROM DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS;

Answer 1

1) There is no way to extract DBMS_OUTPUT from a scheduled job.
2) To check if FOO was executing, I use the following SQL (extracted from TOAD's "Spool SQL to Screen" option. If you are going to be spending any time at all developing in Oracle, get TOAD for Oracle).
SELECT l.job_name
, l.JOB_SUBNAME
, l.log_id "Log ID"
, l.log_date "Log Date"
, l.operation "Operation"
, l.status "Status"
, l.user_name "User Name"
, l.client_id "Client ID"
, l.global_uid "Global UID"
, r.req_start_date "Required Start Date"
, r.actual_start_date "Actual Start Date"
, r.run_duration "Run Duration"
, r.instance_id "Instance ID"
, r.session_id "Session ID"
, r.slave_pid "Slave PID"
, TO_CHAR (r.cpu_used) "CPU Used"
, r.additional_info "Additional Info (Run)"
FROM dba_scheduler_job_log l, dba_scheduler_job_run_details r
WHERE l.log_id = r.log_id(+)
and l.job_name like 'FooJob'
ORDER BY 1 DESC NULLS LAST;
2b) To see jobs that are currently running:
SELECT *
FROM dba_scheduler_running_jobs;
3) If you want to see results from your job, you need to have your job do something, such as insert a record into a table.

Answer 2

Change Job_action => 'proc1';
And in another notepad type
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB(
JOB_NAME => 'justATest',
USE_CURRENT_SESSION => FALSE);
END;
And then execute the above code

Answer 3

You can see result of dbms_output.put_line() in dba_scheduler_job_run_details column "output".
Put in job action
BEGIN
foo();
dbms_output.put_line( 'foo executed in job' ) ;
END;
