Configuring Perl to Support Process Jobs

To complete domain setup, you may need to configure Perl to support process jobs. Oracle Enterprise Scheduler optionally uses Perl for supporting process jobs.

For more information see "How to Create and Store a Process Type Job Definition" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Enterprise Scheduler.

You do this in the Enterprise Manager.

  1. In Enterprise Manager, from the Scheduling Service menu, choose Configuration > Application Properties.

  2. Configure the ESS level property in ESSAPP called PerlCommand to the perl executable location. For example, PerlCommand = c:\Perl\bin\perl.exe.

  3. Perl version is 5.10 or higher.

  4. ESS locates perl in the following order:

    1. From the configuration above.

    2. If WL_HOME is defined, it looks here: $WL_HOME.../../webtier_mwhome/webtier/perl/bin/perl.

    3. Otherwise, it uses it from the container's path.
