Using the Job System : schedule/list Jobs

Advantages of using grid control to schedule jobs

• Could be run against multiple targets at any given time
• Run a job immediately or repeatedly on a schedule
• Could be submitted against number of targets
• Could be shared using job library

1. View Jobs at Grid Control:

Login at Grid and click on Top tab –> Jobs –> Click on “Job Library” option to view number of jobs.

To see activity of job click on “Job Activity”

2. Create a new Job : I often see massive trace files consuming disk space. I will “create a dbms job to delete bdump trace files” (*.trc) older than 7 days i.e “find /opt/oracle/admin/repAAA/bdump -type f -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \;”

Select “Create Library Job”  -> “OS command” and hit <Go>

Add Description of a Job like “Delete udump trace files”

Add OS command at COMMAND box  “find /opt/oracle/admin/repAAA/bdump -type f -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \;”.  I selected “Single Operation” as it is a single UNIX command to delete files. If you have a UNIX script then please make sure you select Script at a dropdown box.

Enter OS credentials for a Target System

Add a schedule on what times you want to run “command/script”.

Now select “Save to Library” from right hand top menu.
