Activating a Batch Job Stream Definition

Once the Batch Job Stream Definition is ready, it can be activated in Oracle Scheduler to run at periodic intervals by transitioning the Batch Job Stream Definition to Active state. An activated Batch Job Stream Definition is called a Batch Job Stream. A Batch Job Stream runs based on the schedule defined on it.

Note: A Batch Job Stream with no schedule runs immediately and only once when activated.

By default, every batch job in a Batch Job Stream Definition is internally setup to run in such a way that if that batch job fails the Batch Job Stream run stops execution. User then has an option to fix the issue and re-start the stream.
