DBMS Jobs Page

Oracle jobs are batches of PL/SQL script that are ready for running against a specified Oracle database. You can use this Top Sessions | DBMS Jobs page to view the details of all the Oracle jobs currently scheduled for the database.

To open the DBMS Jobs page

  1. Select the Spotlight on Oracle connection in the Spotlight Browser.
  2. Click Top Sessions | DBMS Jobs.

Charts on the DBMS Jobs page

Chart Description
Job Processes Job Processes shows the number of active and idle job queue processes, and the number of jobs that are waiting for a free job queue (jobs pending). You can view the same chart in the ActivityServer Page.
Jobs Scheduled

Jobs Scheduled shows the number of Oracle jobs scheduled in the highlighted time interval(s).

The options allow you to set the period of time and the time interval(s) displayed on the X-axis of the chart. The Y-axis displays the number of jobs scheduled in the specified time interval(s).

Job scheduling cannot be estimated reliably when:

  • The next_date is in the past.
  • The job is broken.
  • The time interval has been set by a user-defined PL/SQL program.

Jobs Grid on the DBMS Jobs page

The Jobs Grid shows details of all current Oracle jobs.

Notes: The table below lists the columns that are shown by default on the Jobs grid, PLUS columns that relate specifically to the Oracle jobs currently scheduled for the database.

Other columns are the same as those displayed in the Top Sessions Page. Not all the columns in the Jobs grid are visible by default. Use the Column Organizer to view hidden columns. Show, Hide & Order Columns
