1.8.2 Oracle Scheduler
The Oracle Scheduler has been enhanced to provide additional critical functionality to
meet the scheduling needs of enterprise customers. In addition to functionality and
usability improvements, jobs can now be chained and scheduled based on external
events.
1.8.2.1 Event Scheduling
This feature addresses the need to perform an action based on the occurrence of an
event. The Scheduler can perform actions based on external events or actions can be
performed based on the Scheduler generated events.
The benefit of this feature is that you can schedule jobs based on events.
1.8.2.2 Job Chaining
A job chain describes a set of jobs that are interrelated. Rules are used to define the
dependencies between the jobs.
This feature enables you to define dependencies between jobs.
1.8.2.3 Scheduler Enhancements
This feature enables you to define a custom calendar such as a business fiscal year.
Jobs can be scheduled to run on the last work day of every fiscal quarter. This feature
also enables the use of rules (for example, Memorial Day is the last Monday of the
month of May) to identify dates and save them as a schedule. Existing schedules can
be combined to create composite schedules. For example, a HOLIDAYS schedule can
be excluded from a DAILY schedule to create a WORKDAYS schedule.
The Scheduler enhancements enable customers to define complex schedules such as
the last working day of every fiscal quarter.
