This chapter describes how to manage Oracle Enterprise Scheduler job requests, creating and submitting them, as well as holding and canceling them as required.
Job requests do work on behalf of an application. A job request consists of the job execution type, such as Java job or PL/SQL job, a job definition that associates metadata for specifics about the request, and a schedule that guides when the job runs. Managing job requests can mean creating and submitting them, but also holding and canceling them, as well as doing clean-up by purging requests from the database.
Note:
You can also use Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool to perform request management tasks. For more information, see "Enterprise Scheduler Custom WLST Commands" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference.
