I have created a Package within Oracle SQL Developer. I am trying to run this package as a scheduled job within Oracle. I am unable to run a package using the job scheduler. I am able to run stored procedures via the job scheduler. My research has turned up no results - the only information i find is how to use the Job Scheduler Package, which is not my issue. Does anyone have experience with scheduling a package....is it possible via Oracle? Thanks
Set the parameters job_type to 'PLSQL_BLOCK' and job_action to 'begin mypackage.myproc(myparams); end;'. Do not forget to duplicate apostrophes when used inside the string. (The string is the same as by execute immediate.)

How or is there a way to automatically run my SELECT statement on a scheduled time? For example, I want my monitoring query to run every 1PM and 8PM. Since this will be done daily, can it be run automatically and just view the results from a csv/excel file or from the result tab? My tool is Oracle SQL Developer.
Usually, we schedule a database job. It can be done using DBMS_SCHEDULER (preferably, especially in latest database versions) or DBMS_JOB (simpler to use).
For example:
create a stored procedure which does the job and inserts the result into some table
schedule it to run at desired times
don't forget to store the timestamp!
any time you want, run select * from some_table to view the result
You can run them via SQLPlus and spool to file. Create a shell script with SQL Plus code in your operating system and use you OS scheduler to run it periodically. Then you can open files and view results.
How to schedule a stored procedure in Netezza to run in specific intervals? Looking for replacement of DBMS_JOB or DBMS_SCHEDULER in Oracle . Or is it possible to invoke Netezza stored procedure through shell script?
Thanks
in our project we are calling the stored proc using nzsql(in shell script) and shell script is scheduled using autosys. if you are using any ETL tools like informatica u can use stored procedure transformation to execute netezza procedures.
There is no direct equivalent to DBMS_SCHEDULER or DBMS_JOBS in Netazza. Stored procedures, just like any SQL, can be called through a shell script using the nzsql CLI utility. Those shell scripts can then be scheduled to run via cron, or any another myriad of scheduling mechanisms.
Can anyone please suggest a way to invoke an Oracle stored procedure from a shell script without the use of SQL*Plus, or any such client for that matter. The inability to install clients is a limitation of the server that I work on.
I have to schedule an Autosys script to invoke the job which invokes the Oracle stored procedure. Can you please suggest in what direction should I proceed?
You could do this using Java and jdbc. If you can not even copy the thin jdbc driver, I see no other option than to schedule the job in Oracle Using Oracle Scheduler.
Without client software installed, you'll have a hard time getting to Oracle from a shell script; however, Oracle has it's own batch facility--see Database jobs here
Now I'm too keen to know how can I export dmp file with Oracle jobs? It's because of I'm very new to Oracle and don't know how to backup Oracle with jobs like MsSQL bachup with schedule. That's why I want to know what I asked.
You can fairly easy setup a backup scheduled by the database. Best approach for this is to install the Oracle Scheduler Remote Job Agent - local to the database - and configure that agent in the database that holds your backup schedule. This can be the database itself, it can also be a central backup schedule database, all a matter of taste.
Oracle Scheduler is very powerful and can execute tasks in the local database, in remote database[s], on the local server and on remote servers. If using OS type of jobs, best is to use the 11g Remote Scheduler Agent. Don't use the old fashioned 10g style External Jobs. Use remote jobs with defined credentials.
For help look at my blog where you also find pointers to docu.
After you installed and configured the job agent to be a valid target for the database that performs the scheduling, easiest is to use dbconsole to define the jobs. If you configure the dbconsole, it also gives an option to generate auto backup jobs. Maybe this is already enough. You asked for export and there expdp with the Oracle Scheduler does a wonderful job.
You can run an OS process from Oracle Job using Java Stored Procedure or a C program.
See this blog entry,
Instead of exporting dump using the old imp/exp utilities to generate dmp files, look at Oracle Datapump, especially since from the tags I infer you're using Oracle 11g.
Data pump supports table-level, tablespace-level, schema-level & full export modes and is kown to be consdirably faster than the previous imp/emp tools.

know how can I export dmp file with Oracle jobs?
That's not possible. The emp tools runs outside the database, while jobs run within. if you want scheduled exports perhaps you could use a cronjob/scheduled task.
Here's a good one for any Oracle gurus out there. I'm working on a web page that dynamically configures Oracle DB backup settings in a closed environment. Right now, I have everything set up to generate scheduled jobs that run pre-determined RMAN scripts that already exist on the Database server's disk. This works, but I want to go a step further.
Is there any way to create jobs with the scheduler that will run RMAN scripts which haven't first been written to disk? For example, is it possible to fire off an RMAN backup script directly from the scheduler by using a pipe of some sort? I've found some vague information on the RMAN Pipe Interface, but I can't see how I could create a private pipe, pack it with RMAN commands, and then feed it to RMAN all in one job run... Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
In anything related to backup/restore of the database, I advise you to prefer OS's means to execute scheduled jobs (cron/at on unix, Scheduled tasks on Windows). The advantage is that they are independent from oracle instance and you can better handle cases when oracle instance is down or malfunctioning. The "RMAN pipe interface" is meant to be used together with operating system's shell, as well.
However, executing scripts directly from database is also possible: AskTom
If you want to use DBMS_SCHEDULER then the script has to reside on the database server.
But if you install an Oracle client on the web server you can run RMAN from there and connect to the TARGET database. E.g.:
rman 'usr/pwd#conn_str AS SYSDBA' CMDFILE /home/www/db/backup-full.rman
In this case the script can reside on the web server.
Hope this helps.
