7 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.
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, schedules, job classes, file watchers, windows and window
groups. Depending on the access rights of the logged-in user, information is taken from
ALL_* or DBA_* views.
Note:
SQL and PL/SQL editors are used in the user interfaces for Jobs and Programs. Some shortcut keys used in these editors are:
- Alt+F1: Invokes accessibility options.
-
Ctrl+M: Alters the Tab key behavior, from inserting tab to going to the next control on the form.
