Access the Oracle Job Scheduler.
A job assigns a task to a schedule. The job tells the schedule which tasks - either one-time tasks created "on the fly," or predefined programs - to run. A specific program can be assigned to one, multiple, or no schedule(s); likewise, a schedule may be connected to one, multiple, or no program(s).

A program defines what the Scheduler will execute. A program's attributes include its name, type (for example: a PL/SQL procedure or anonymous block), and the action it is expected to perform. A program can also accept zero to many arguments, which makes it a flexible building block for constructing schemes of tasks to be scheduled.
