2.17 Edit Schedule Job Dialog - General Tab

Use to schedule an Oracle Enterprise Scheduler job in a BPEL process.

An Oracle Enterprise Scheduler job is a unit of work in the form of either Java, a database stored procedure, or any executable. A job is associated with a schedule that describes when and how often the job executes. A web service invokes this job within a BPEL process.

The scheduled Oracle Enterprise Scheduler job resides in a runtime environment and is accessible with an Oracle Metadata Services Repository (MDS Repository) connection, using database-based access.

Element Description

Application

Displays the value of the selected job's SYS_effectiveApplication property. This property must be set, or an error message is displayed and you cannot proceed.

This editable state of this field depends on the selected job definition:

  • If the selected job definition provides SYS_effectiveApplication, then the value for this property is displayed and this field is not editable.

  • If the job definition does not provide SYS_effectiveApplication, then this field is editable and you must specify the application name in the User Defined Properties section of the System Properties tab.

Name

Specify the name of the job.

Description

Specify a description for the request.

Job

Click the Search icon to invoke the Enterprise Scheduler Browser dialog to select the job.

Schedule

Click the Search icon to invoke the Enterprise Scheduler Browser dialog to select the job schedule. If not specified, the job is executed immediately.

Start Time

Specify a datetime string (in ISO 8601 format). Alternatively, click the XPath Expression Builder icon to specify the Start Time as an XPath expression. The start is separate from the schedule, and indicates when the job takes effect. If not specified, the job is executed immediately.

If you are manually specifying a datetime string, you must enclose it in single quotes. For example: '2013-08-06T01:19:39.261+0530'. Also, make sure you are using the ISO 8601 format: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ.

A valid entry in this format would be: '2013-08-06T01:19:39.261+0530'. The single quotes around the datetime string distinguishes it from an expression, which does not use quotes.

End Time

Specify a datetime string (in ISO 8601 format). Alternatively, click the XPath Expression Builder icon to specify the End Time as an XPath expression. The end is separate from the schedule, and indicates when the job ends. If a schedule is not specified, this field is not displayed.

If you are manually specifying a datetime string, you must enclose it in single quotes. For example: '2013-08-06T01:19:39.261+0530'. Also, make sure you are using the ISO 8601 format: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ.

A valid entry in this format would be: '2013-08-06T01:19:39.261+0530'. The single quotes around the datetime string distinguishes it from an expression, which does not use quotes.
