8 The Scheduling Pages

Note:

Available for Oracle Database 12c release 2 and later releases.

Database Actions provides a graphical interface for using the DBMS_SCHEDULER PL/SQL package to work with Oracle Scheduler objects such as Jobs, Chains, Programs and Schedules. To use the scheduling features, you must first understand the concepts and essential tasks for job scheduling, which are explained in the chapters about Oracle Scheduler concepts and scheduling jobs in the Oracle Database Administrator's Guide.

In the initial release, the Scheduling functionality is focused on exploring Oracle Database Scheduler artifacts and provides details for jobs, chains, chain steps and rules, job execution history, programs and schedules. The job execution forecast wizard is useful for planning job schedules. Depending on the access rights of the logged-in user, information is taken from ALL_* or DBA_* views.

To navigate to the Scheduling pages, do either of the following:

• In the Launchpad page, click Scheduling.

• Click Selectorto display the navigation menu. Under Development, select Scheduling.
